Happy Birthday ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) moonchild_lnd!
And as today is my Birthday too, (That's how I can so consistantly remember hers) I thought I'd share how My evening's going. I'm having interruption free time on the computer listening to The Cars Anthology: Just What I needed a cool present from the family. I had pot roast with garlic and faux-tatoes (made from caulifower but it's actually damn tasty, really). Onecrazymother stuck a candle in the pot roast and taters on my plate and she and the kids sang Happy Birthday to me. :)
All In all, a good day. |

Went to the park for the George St Co-Op picnic and my cell phone/pda must have slipped out of it's holder and been stolen.
We called it a few times and someone answered but then kept hanging up, we got no coherent information from it.
I've reported it stolen and it's shut down now. But damn, I'm pissed, the last back up I did was on a computer I no longer have access to.
CRAP! |

| About that little song bird... |

While getting ready to mow the lawn, I noticed some movement in the hedge. I looked again and the was a small bird trying to fly away and just flopping about. Its left foot had gotten tangled in some whispy filiments stuff to the branch and it was trapped.
I carefully grabbed it, cradeling it in my fist and broke the branch it was tangled to off the hedge, then brought it inside and called for onecrazymother who got me her embroidery scissors and a pair of tweezers and I was able, over the next ten minutes or so, to carefully unwrap the birds foot. After that, a step outside and set it down on in the lawn and away it flew. |

Well, that was quick, if not painless.
I wish this had all happened sooner: it's been nearly two years since the accident and I've lost a lot of detail. |

| Snow & Ow! |

So I got out the Snow blower to clear the driveway, but the way the snow fell: melting for a long time before finally piling on about 14" meant that the heavy slush in the bottom inche kept cloggin up the auger. I eventually hit on the way to do it: let the machine ride up over the slush and clear that, then go over it again to get the bottom inch or so. Still I was pretty tired from wranging the machine about (sympathy to the machineless diggin out the old fashioned way).
Then, we get out with the kids to play and inspiration struck: The recycling bucket was left out and it could be filled with snow, packed down and upended leaving a pretty nifty column of snow pack... Something like two hours later, as it was getting dark, this 11 foot tall snow sculpture is the result: (pictures taken this morning in the light of dawn)
Dragonboy's Snow Dalek:
And I'm am even more sore and tired. But it is kewl, and onecrazymother insisited that I post a pic.
(memo to self, get some ibuprofin with my next cup of cofee) |

Well, I've been feeling generally run down and crappy, convinced that I'm fighting something off and not getting enough sleep, and this am, we were awakened by Horseboy getting sick and miserable around 4:30am.
Joy of joys.
I have no idea how this is going to impact our Arisia trip we've been planning. :( |

| Low Carb Update |
[Nov. 29th, 2004|09:35 am] |
OK, I threw the low carb thing to the wind for the Turkey Day holdiay. Last night dinner was Turkey tertrazini (mostly spaghetti with some meat and fat added, tasty tho), mashed potatos, stuffing, and onions in cream sauce. In short: carb fest.
As of today: I'm back on low carb. I put on 4 lbs, tho I suspect much of that is water weight and should come off quickly. I'm still down 37 lbs or so. |

| Back From Nawlins |

So I made it back. My trip was largely uneventful, missed my connection in Atlanta, had my luggage pawed through by the TSA, spent gobs of the companies money.
I was pleased that the restauraunt had a low carb menu. I had a breakfast one day of scrambled eggs, a hamburger patty, two fat sausage links, two strips of bacon and three pieces of canadian bacon. This is health food? This is health food!
Despite yummy food, and otherwise taking care of myself I found that I was super tense the entire time. I suppose I was reliving 9-11 expecting a repeat performance the entire time (I've not been back to that groups meeting since I had gotten caught there on 9-11). I've got no fingernails left for the chewing and my nervous plucking has nearly done in my mustache.
