~Thursday~ I woke up at 7:00 to a dusting of snow, which had covered my car, but was not sticking to the road at all. Which was a good thing, as I had an 8:00 follow-up appointment with my dermatologist to check on the two things she did two weeks ago, and to do a … Read more
~Monday~ I was up early this morning to give myself time to make the icing for my cake. It’s easy to make, and it’s easiest to spread after being chilled, which I wanted to give it the whole day to do. To 12-ounces of Cool Whip, I added one box of Jello Pistachio Nut pudding … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had a first-time appointment with a dermatologist who was recommended by my friend, Kevin (av8rdude). When I entered the building in which the practice resides, I was struck by a sign that reminded me of failblog.org‘s new feature called, “Oddly Specific,” which includes entries like: and I mean I’ve heard of pain clinics … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 6:30 and off to NC State at 7:15 for a 7:30 departure with the Alternative Spring Break 2011 Gulf Coast team for an all-day retreat out at the Braemar Habitat for Humanity site in Zebulon, NC. It worked out that we had four cars going, so I drove separately and … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 3:30 AM and drank the first 8 ounces of MoviPrep. And 15 minutes later, the second 8 ounces. And at 4:00, the third, and at 4:15, the last 8 ounces. For the first two, I drank them down in one gulp. By the third one, I just couldn’t do that … Read more
~Monday~ It was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which for state employees means a holiday. I slept in this morning, until 11:00 or 11:30. That Dulcolax “did its thing” last night before bed, and I started off the day well on my way to an “emptiness” I don’t want to feel again for at least … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up feeling much better this morning, but definitely not 100%. I guess that expired soup was okay, as I saw no ill effects (literally) from it. By the time I finished packing my laptop back it was part technology toter, part lunch bag, and part medicine chest. Something has happened to the … Read more
~Tuesday~ I woke up with a cough that felt like it sucked pure acid up through my esophagus, and a temperature of 99.7°, making me even more grateful to be able to work from home today. I was particularly pleased with my weigh-in this morning, especially with the overeating done this past long holiday weekend. … Read more
~Monday~ I left my house at 8:14, was at the bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:20. That’s the kind of timing I like when it’s in the 30s in the morning. There were only three other people already on when I boarded, and I was kind of surprised when the bus … Read more
~Saturday~ My alarm was set for 10:00 this morning, but I got up at 9:30. I had some leftover cooked Italian sausage and some mushrooms from my spaghetti dinner the other night, and along with some cheese, I made a most delicious omelet with them. I did two loads of laundry, one of sheets and … Read more
