I'm about to leave to meet with surgeons (a surgeon? I'm not really sure) about my foot. Today should be the day that we actually schedule the surgery. It's not like I'm excited to get cut open and all that, but I am so ready to have this be done with! I'm hoping that they can get me in either tomorrow or early next week... then back to work ( Read more... )

There is a cat sitting on my right leg and a dog half-climbing onto my computer from the left. It isn't that cold in here so I guess they just want some affection. I love pets ( Read more... )

It didn't really snow much in Colorado and Shari and I feel like we missed out a bit on all the winter weather ( Read more... )

Today I will make dog food.
For breakfast I made whole wheat waffles from scratch.

It's funny how it doesn't feel "domestic" if you do it every day, but other people think that it is so little-house-on-the-prarie to (for example) bake your own bread.

It's just the way we roll...

Off to freeze at the dog park!

I went to the doctor today to refer me to an orthopedic surgeon for my food.

I had to see a general practitioner because my dad's insurance changed on the 1st to Kaiser.  I don't really care what it is as long as it is free for me but in this instance the change means that I have to start back from square one.  The doctor I saw today was very nice ( Read more... )

I didn't post about it here, but Shari and I were going to drive to Colorado to visit her sister, my friend, and her family for Christmas.  We found a sitter for the cats, made curry (for the cat sitter), cooked bagels and instant foods and all sorts of good things to eat on the drive.  Because I am gimpy, Shari did ALL of the packing, crammed ( Read more... )

At work today I was just about to leave (I was closing so it was the end of the night) and I have to push these rolling shelves of mugs and merchandise into a locked room since my store is basically a counter  with no offices or backroom nearby (I have to go down the hall to fetch milk/ice/cups/lids/everything that we run out of at starbucks).  So ( Read more... )

I watched the elections last night with my grandma.  It was a really interesting thing to experience with someone who came to this country as a young adult because she chose it.  When they announced that Obama had won and we watched first McCain's concession speech (which was really gracious) and Obama's acceptance speech, she got tears in her eyes ( Read more... )

I've been watching CNN with my grandma basically all day.  I cleaned her house, so it's not like I've been parked in front of the TV but still, its been on.  I'm pretty excited for this election, though I'm not really sure why.  I know Obama is amazing and going to change our government and is probably the reincarnation of Jesus and all, but I'm ( Read more... )

I know Montana is "Big Sky Country" but Colorado must come in at close second.  We took a drive today and the clouds and the sky were so beautiful.  It was really breathtaking.  We drove to the cemetery where my aunt Linda is buried.  She had a really rare form of cancer and died in July a couple years ago.  It was strange to go there.   It was a ( Read more... )
