Hi, friends!
I’m watching the Stillers totally not show up for their playoff game* and getting ready to heat up some dinner.
You all have a decent day? Get stuff done?
*it’s an hour before posting time as I write this, maybe in the next bit of game play they’ll remember where their endzone is
They just scored to get within a TD.
Steelers have woken up!  My sister is a die hard Steelers fan since she became friends with Jack Lambert when she worked restaurants in Waikiki.  I know she is screaming her head off right now freaking out her neighbors.  I’m laying low as I think I am having a diverticulitis bout.
That sounds painful. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you. It is very painful but I have had enough of these I know how to get through it. Â The abdominal cramps are worst in the middle of the night & early morning, I do not recommend it.
Oof, that sucks. Have to Do you avoid certain foods when you get an attack?
I mostly avoid dairy or things that might stop me up.  Try to eat more fiber & drink lots of water.  When it is really bad, I can’t really eat much of anything.  This one is pretty minor so far & I just started antibiotics so shouldn’t get any worst hopefully.
I hope it doesn’t mean no beer.
Beer does have lots of fiber & vitamins but makes me feel bloated right now so sadly, no beer!
Noooo I’m sorry to hear that.
Blah here too. School started this week at Tech and my wife (who is the Math department’s utility infielder) will be covering for one of her colleagues who’s out sick on top of her regular Differential Equations classes. Because the weather sucks so bad, she drove into town tonight and will stay with a friend there so she can be in class at 8am. Even my 4WD truck was sliding around the roads this morning, so it’s best that she’s staying put in town.
In the meantime, I’m alone, watching the Bills-Steelers and will maybe start Echo when that’s done.
Let me know how Echo goes. I’m looking forward to it.
Oh. Your wife works at VA Tech? I have friends who went there, they’re architects. So not quite too tech-y, a little more design-oriented, but they do know how to design a building so that it doesn’t crash down around you, which is more than I can say for myself.
I worked on my health and safety course for a couple of hours. Not the most interesting topic but it helps as credit for my continuing education as a professional engineer and a means to escape my current work place.
I later worked on a model but it was too damn cold to open up the window to vent paint fumes outside. Basically it was just glue and sand.
Didn’t skip leg day. Goddamn I hurt.
After sleeping in, I moved more snow today, to uncover my car, the back patio, and some pathways through the back yard. Discovered that the van needs a new battery. Wish I had been able to do more with the day – this is the first time in my long, undistinguished career that I’ve had MLK Day off.
i has cocaine!
