My H&I Log-In and Blog-In

I started this thread at another board and it is working really well so let's try it here and see if it works here.

My First Entry.

IRL I am having a nice Friday night online, watching TV, playing with the cats. It's been a nice day overall. I should have called my mom though.

 

It's so hot. I turned the A/C from 78 down to 77. We have not had rain in ages and all the grass is dead. I hope my water bill isn't astronomical in trying to keep the garden fed.

I need to shower and make a proper meal. Just crunching on yesterday's garlic bread. And I found ONE compatible mobo on eBay and so need to call my mother right now and ask for help.

Then start studying for my psychology test.

 

Wow, I am glad you found something Dave!

For me, I am up earlier than I wanted. I have an 11:30 eye appt. I won't go into the grief I was caused by the guy ordering the prescription wrong (this is the 2nd time he has done this), but now I am off to get it rectified. Josef is coming with and we'll stop for coffee and maybe a scone or something on the way. Otherwise today is a blank slate. What to do?

Goals: Eyeglasses place. Study Hindi, write Hindi thank you letter for the picture my tutor's mom gave to me. Order prints for Josef's art. Work on continuing medical education.

 

Might as well jump in...

Decided to get up early-ish for a Saturday to head over to the other side of town and hit a garage sale or two, as well as some thrift stores. Great day for game collectors, the joy is always in the hunt . Also watching some of the Dallas Stars prospect camp online later, gotta' keep up with how the future Stars are doing!

Time for a good day!

 

Well it's really good to hear what you all are doing during your days. I didn't get all my goals done but I did do some. I got the eyeglasses done. I did order Josef's prints. I did half my CME. I didn't get any Hindi done though. It's been an ok day, it's like where did the day go though? Anyhow, not too bad of a day.

 

I decided yesterday to make a chili, since I have not made any in quite a while. It was somewhat a poor idea in that "who wants to eat chili when it is so miserably hot?!" And then of course I am in the kitchen for several hours preparing it. I'll try it out tomorrow if not tonight.

Somehow my garden hose got torn, I suspect the neighbor unknowingly drove over it and turned the car's wheel. So now I am back to hauling the mop bucket back and forth. Of course there is a wasp's nest in the cable box above the water spigot, so I am very wary about even getting water right now.

Went through my exam review last night and I seem to remember 95% of it. I still cannot remember all the brain part functions, such as "What does the thalamus do?", but I don't have many to memorize.

The 3 gallons of chili should last me a while. I'll go over my exam review again later but otherwise have nothing that needs done today, so will probably read and play video games.

 

Do you have an insulin pump? Also, are you eating incorrectly, or are you a brittle diabetic?

 

Hey Dave, think of the thalamus as a major relay station through which sensory and some motor functions touch down and travel though. It is a fascinating structure.

So I am watching tv right now, eating cereal and drinking coffee. Goals for today are to:
1. Finish the ischemic stroke CME.
2. Write out the Hindi letter and work on homework.
3. Do some laundry.
4. Put away the cat food delivery.
5. Whatever other chores/fun pops into my head.

 

Well, Yesterday and Today were a bust in terms of game collecting (never know unless you try moment: If anyone's interested in offloading some old games or consoles, and feels like donating, I'm always available ), but I found a few interesting places around town in terms of thrift shops that carry some unique items (found one that specializes in hot wheels and old cartoon memorabilia...very interesting!). Not a complete waste of a weekend, by any stretch.

Goals for the rest of the day:

-Picked up a copy of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64 two weeks ago, it doesn't work...need to see if I can fix it. Nope, 'tis busted.
-General household cleanup...
-Avoid the heat outdoors at all costs.
-Play some games, unwind and relax. Hopefully.

Whoo.

 

Took my moped to school for the first time today now that I have a helmet and parking permit. It took me 20 minutes to get there - 2 minutes longer than by car. I gave myself a lot of time since it only goes 25 mph. Had my first psych test today and I am sure I got a perfect score, I was back in the parking lot getting on the scooter just 11 minutes after class started. Multiple choice ftw.

Finally had some rain yesterday, but I wish there was more. The mobo gets purchased and shipped today, if it gets here this week that would be amazing. Back to books and vidya games.

 

Chris the only game I have is Spyro the Dragon. Sowwies.

Entervixen sounds very complex to me. I understand about the weight, same here.

Liz, sorry to hear about your Aunt and also your folks without power for a week, dang. Just looked up the word "derecho".

Congrats Dave on your test and the moped.

Ethan I think you did the right thing not asking the doc about the lymphoma. That is rough and to be asked all the time is not a joyous thing.
