sick

The Leaf

I am a bit under the weather. One of the gals in our PE class gave some of us illness. I have not gotten sick like this for a long time. It kind of sucks because my balance is way off, my numb limbs are getting number, and the bit of vision I have gained back in my left eye has left again

I guess my over active MS system is on the attack. Would be nice if it wiped out this freaking cold and sore throat. It never ceases to amaze me how on one side of the deal my over active immune system usually keeps me from getting sick yet, on the other side of the deal when I do it is not good. I mean the little guys are out trying to off the cold junk but mess up the nerve junk. Augjh!

I did not get much done today and did not go to the refuge as planned. Cancelled my plans to go for a cuppa joe with my pal Chuck also.  I did pick up a small leaf and made a silly movie with it.

Fun looking at things closer.

It took awhile to get the thing to render but finally I got it uploaded to youtube and the photo to flickr.

So below is the video and then the leaf photo.

Ants, Brats, Bored

Not that much exciting going on around here.

Still chasing ants, ants, and more, ANTS!

Attended a group Christmas Party this weekend. Last year I roamed about taking photos and chatting it up with old friends and acquaintances. This year there were about 250 people and way to many kids. Kids are great – don’t get me wrong – but some kids left unattended can and were little pains in the arse.

I spent the time trying not to become slamed into the table by the the unruley kid behind me as he continued to smash into my chair. Then one trip (I took the long way along the edge of the room so I had a wall about) to use the facilities a kid ran into me and as I almost saved myself from hitting the ground he got me again. As my partner saved me from falling the kid ran off laughing.

Where were the parents? Ignoring their kids that is for sure :(. Thanks all you little brats for pointing out to me that a year ago I could have chased you around and this year I was lucky not to fall on my arse. The ants behave better than you.

I seem to have caught a cold or something too – yuk yuk.

So I spend the day on the couch sleeping and playing the Indiana Jones Lego game.

Put my friends wedding pics on a disc and used the lightscribe feature to put a neat pic pf them leaving the Church on the front of it. So, they can send it to his family.

So exciting NO? Well of to read and fall back sleep.

And – watch the ants . …

Turkey to Terabytes

Turkey day was great! Lots of turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffing, pies, tamales, and lots more. Nothing like 40 or so people getting together and stuffing their faces tee hee. The different ways people celebrate this holiday are interesting too me. My family always made the kids sit at a different table.  At this one everyone sat at the five tables no separation of children from adults it was so fun. Kids are the greatest to watch enjoying it all – especially the deserts 🙂

The rest of the weekend up till today has been not so user friendly. Woke up with a head that spoke of a time bomb inside trying to go off and each step I tried for sent a wave of boinging  down to my tail bone LOL some points of this had me thinking ok now if I am gonna die hurry it up woulds yas.

Oh wells much better today.

Got an early Christmas present woo hoo a new drive to replace my almost dead one. I have kept it turned off cause it has like GB’s of photos on it. Most are backed up to CD but the time to finish the rest has not been a priority – major procrastination.  So happy happy am I for the gift of a one terabyte drive. Now to decide wheter to format NTSF or not.

Well off to read and hit the hay as I am gonna meat my friend so she doesnt have to sit all day at the shop where we arranged to get her lift fixed – augh 9am in the morning that is like so way to early. I know I am lazy sleep in type.
