Monday Morning

It's Monday morning and I'm still half awake. Had to take Iago over to the vet this morning for his yearly shots. He's not very happy with me right now, but hey, that's just the way things go when you're a pet owner.

I'm still pretty sore. I haven't had my pills yet and I'm going to go rebandage my feet in a little bit. They seem to be healing but I might have my dermatologist take a look at them tomorrow to make sure nothing is seriously wrong.

Should have my pictures from Canada back tomorrow sometime. Once Mrs. Burstein approves the ones that she's in she'll probably post them over on her web site. I'm only in one of mine and thank god for that. :)

Watching a segment on a computer that's also a refrigerator on CNN. It doesn't make sense. Not because it's a dumb idea, but more that it's Waaaaaay underpowered. My god, 128 megs of RAM for windows xp? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???

I have a new dream. The Handspring Treo 90 is the sexiest palm OS PDA I've ever seen. It's tiny, it's color, and it has a full keyboard. That alone is worth the $270 price if I ever get around to a new PDA. I don't need the phone version, but that keyboard ... man, saw one at staples and had to get myself out of there before plopping down the money for one.

On my trip I found that I didn't use my laptop as much because it gets too darn hot. It's heavy and it overheats. It's not comfortable to write with while on the road. My pager is better, but my pager can only hold one note at a time before you send it as e-mail. I do have one of those stowaway keyboards for my PDA, but that's really obnoxious to use. The N key sticks and it's just too big to write with. If the Treo is as easy to type with as my pager is, I'd love it.

On that note, those looking for my trip to Canada stories should check my archives. So enjoy, even if Moopie says it's "too @#$#ing long." LOL.

Take Care,

Monday Night

So Monday night is here and I'm resting my hands for another day. The pain has gone down but I can't pick anything up with my right hand without it coming back in spades. I tried to open up a bag of stir fry for dinner and ended up having to cut it open, and when the vet shook my hand this morning I thought I was going to die. Everything else is getting better, however, so getting off my feet for a few days is what I needed.

Been doing a lot of thinking since my trip. I don't know, I've been taking steps to change aspects of my life that have been a concern for some time now. I mean I'm sitting here drinking evian water now instead of my usual coca-cola for god's sake, and I ate something fairly healthy for breakfast and dinner (we so won't mention lunch). Once the snacks from the trip are gone, I don't plan on buying more. Though I was pretty good and didn't pig out on the car ride. I'm not sure where this is going but I do know by switching to water as my primary drink, I am cutting a lot of calories from my diet and that's a good thing. While I do need my caffeine buzz from time to time I am getting better.

I have something like 60 days until my 32nd birthday and I'd like to spend the rest of my 31st year losing some weight and slimming down. I so can't believe I've made it this many years. It was bad when I started getting older than a lot of the American idols from the 60's were when they died, but now it's getting to me a little bit more. Maybe it's a pre-mid-life-crisis, I don't know, but I start to worry about getting older and how bad I've been to my body over the years and hope I can change things. I know I can and I'm worrying just to worry right now.

Getting checked out at two doctors tomorrow, then calling the eye doctor when I get home so I can get some stylish new frames. Also should have my pictures back tomorrow so if I can get the scanner to work, I'll have pictures as well from the trip.

Anyway, 17 minutes until I go back to work. Doing the 9-midnight shift tonight and thought I'd blog again before heading in.

Be good,
