Two days in a row!?!

Lucky You!

I saw this on the news last night and as I'm explaining it to a coworker, I had to go out and see if they actually had it online. I know they don't always post their soft news videos - thankfully, this story was. You really don't need to know the whole deal. Let's just say they were honoring some students at the capitol and as always, there's a crowd and people taking pictures. I'm thinking two things... This lady didn't get many good pictures of the ceremony and I know why she hasn't quite moved into the digital age. Thank you to the editor who didn't cut this and made my day better.

Enjoy,
Franz

Blah...

I've been a bit of a zombie lately... As much as losing 5 lbs in a couple days would make most folks happy, I don't recommend the nasty bout of food poisoning route. I've gotten food poisoning before, but never like this. I've never been so wiped! I loveliness started around 12:40 a.m. Sunday and continued until about 9:30 a.m. After that, I was graced with temps hovering just below 102 eventually spiking near 103. Monday didn't prove much better. The temp floated between normal and just over 100, but I was exhausted and just ached. We wont mention my food/beverage consumption from Sunday until Tuesday evening consisted of water, powerade, 2 bagels, 2.5 dinner rolls and a bite of cake for my grandmother's bday. Last night I finally said screw it... My body never has been one to follow convention. I had a bowl of cereal and I've felt a million times better even since. I'm not back to normal yet, but at least I can sit up for more than an hour or two. I could still use a nap.


Enough of that... I keep hearing this auto glass commercial that makes me laugh. They say they can fix a chip as long as it's smaller than a dollar bill. Am I the only one who thinks if there is a "chip" the size of a dollar bill, it's probably not a chip? I had to go out to their website and of course they say chip or crack less than 6 inches. That makes way more sense than a chip smaller than a dollar bill, however I have to admit, I love picturing a chip as big as a dollar bill in my head.

Other updates: The new roof was installed yesterday. It looks great. As much as I wish I could appreciate it, I hope it sells the house quick and I can get out of here.
I actually started writing Laura's wedding ceremony. I'm sure it will just flow once I sit down for more than a brief period of time. Otto is down to one pill every other day. I noticed his roid rage is a little more under control. hehe, okay just kidding. He seems to be doing well. I'm sure it may take a bit for his system to adjust to the change. I'll continue to pamper him and keep my fingers crossed.

Cheers,
Franz
