Looking back on 2014

Looking back on 2014

Good friend is incarcerated in a mental hospital, it's been
going on 2 years. I hope he's okay that can be a harrowing
experience. I know i was in the locked ward for 8 weeks.
That's nothing, i guess, barely time enough for the snow to
melt. Saw some professional body builder types they were
Navy boys. Such muscle definition i would love to build
like that. I remember how it burns to work your muscles.
Dad is hitting the gym three times a week and he's in his
mid seventies.

Well, I got my blood workup on Thursday, I should have
known not to do this going on a weekend. The nurses
went home and left me hanging for the weekend without
one of my primary medicines. The pharmacy is great but
they aren't open on the weekend or late at night. It's all
set up, to be as painless as possible.

Blake and I may be going trail busting next week, to see
first hand the effect of the rains upon the Laguna de Santa
Rosa I'll bring my binoculars and the HT (Handy Talky)
ask me about it some time, it's the ham radio version of a
walkie talkie, but it's more like a walkie talkie on steroids.
I'm running the equivalent of 3 AA batteries and i put out
around 2 watts, this lets me talk all over the county and
more. I've heard San Jose and Sacramento on our local
repeater.

I came up with something to do with the bike instead of
just leave it sitting here all the time, my buddy Jake will
take it (he needs it)... For a while until he gets himself
a better one. So, tonight i'll pump up the tires and get it
ready for him. I'll meet him at Support Group and turn
it over to him.  He needs to return it after he gets a better
bike. He said that the cable isn't a problem for him he can
repair it himself at Community Bikes.

Looking Back On 2014

I would be remiss if i did not discuss the latest in the
ongoing saga of Pesto my tuxedo kitten (cat)...
She is only taking in liquids and very little at that. She's
lost a lot of weight. She still sleeps in my bed with me.
She even crawls up on my chest and rests there while
i'm trying to sleep. At least she doesn't weigh 20 pounds
any more.  So, i'm humoring her, this morning it was
cereal and milk, this afternoon it was the broth from
a can of salmon that i opened.  She wanted potato chips
but refused salmon. I don't know what's going on with
her.

And back to the medicine situation. I haven't been
sleeping much, I laid down last night at 11:30 and
tossed and turned all night long until I officially got up
at 7:00 am.  I made a fruit smoothie and settled into the
computer for some peaceful quiet computer time.  I
noticed that Bonnie and Kat had been in Sacramento.
They left some very nice photographs on Facebook.
Bless them, both of them are great moms.  Kat finally
had to give in and get a girl doggy so that she could
have some estrogen vibes flowing in the QTH
(Household). All those boys and Kat.  How weird.

okay :)
