1-25-13 : Another day home

Pain and numbness in left leg kept me home today. Which was only made worse when I stepped out of bed, not able to feel my foot, and twisted my knee. Blarg.

On a fun note... Here's a cat interested in a toilet.

1-23-13 : Super Bee!

Work still a mess. Boy was great at school. We took him to Culvers for dinner tonight.

Ended up a pretty decent day.

1-19-13 : It's almost a date!

Spending the evening with Sean and Mallory, and Jer and Sam at Dave & Busters.

Note: This was not a competition to say 'and' as many times as possible in one sentence.

1-18-13 : Time for your close up!

And here's the boy's cat!

1-17-13 : Hmmm.

Yes. Another bleech day. Everyone getting over colds, at least the boy's fever broke. Hooray!

And... That's about the entirety of the day.

1-15-13 : The collection

Being ill is awful. The picture enclosed is the start of this years pill bottle collection.

Stay tuned! Watch it grow!

Bleech.

Fin.

1-12-13 : Saturday that feels like Sunday

Yes, it's that rare Saturday that feels like a Sunday. Part of that is the fact that tomorrow I'm working and (I guess) that the Packers are playing tonight.

The earlier part of the day I spent with the boy cleaning his room and looking for puzzle pieces. I also played a little WoW and watched The Social Network.

Spent the evening at the Petos watching the game. The boy may have a beer bottle in his hands... It was Peto's honest. LOL
He was just using the bottle for his Silly Putty.

Just a quiet day.

Nice for a change.

Fin.

1-11-13 : Deja Vu?

Same old, same old. Home again due to numbness, fatigue and pain. Makes for a pretty quick spiral into depression. Bleech.

The house had new windows put in today. Hooray?! Hopefully the new front window doesn't start any additional cat wars.

Netflix is annoying. Fair Maiden was going to watch Dexter, but that's not a streaming option. (Boo) So we watched 2 episodes of DS9, before she called it an early night. I stayed up and watched the Bucks and Lakers lose badly.

Fin.

1-10-13 : Building a better you

MS is no ones friend. So on days when you wake up and one hand is almost completely numb and the other one feels like its been struck with a hammer, it's going to be a long day.

About 7 hours of Face/Off (Syfy) later, I can confirm that hypothesis. Didn't get much of anything done. Pain, numbness, and fatigue saw to that. Rain rolled in about 6pm, but didn't bring relief.

Looks to be an interesting upcoming Friday!

1-9-13 : Resolute.

Can't say I'm a big New Years resolution person. I've basically worked the last 10 NYE, so I just don't put much effort into it.

But... Drs. like it when you're healthy and what not, so I've decided ill drink more water.

Sure.

Can't really hurt... Can it?

1-8-13 : Long Day

This is my pen. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

End of year processing continues. Made it into work early and ended up staying late. Actually makes for a compressed kind of a day.

Back hurts after all that lifting and standing, but... Well more of the same tomorrow.

fin.

1-7-13 : Monday, Monday

Back to the grind.

Year end is starting to pick up, they decided to re-train us on a machine that we know better than the teacher.

Dinner looks great, time to just kick back and relax.

1-5-13 : Quiet Saturday

Pretty quiet. Didn't have to work, due to lack of forms.

Melanie and Jonathan came over to visit, we haven't seen them since the summer party, so we wished them a Merry Happy Congrats (little Scharrer is due early May, I believe).

Dinner was... Well, because of the visit and the Packer game, nonexistent.

Packers win! Off to San Fran next week.

Wife's back still hurting, boy seems boy like.

fin.

1-4-13 : Sundaes on a Friday!

One of those days.

Only solution? Drown your pain in chocolate syrup and candy!

1-3-13 : Asleep at the wheel

Chronic illness is a pain in the ass. Well, Sometimes it's pain. Sometimes it's numbness.

Today? My old friend fatigue. And before you jump to the "Well everyone gets tired" just stop. It's worse. Far, far worse.

I awoke this morning at my normal time, after going to bed at my normal time, and knew it was going to be a long day. Every step was exhausting and just making it up the stairs wiped me out. I ate breakfast and got the boy up and ready for school.

Then (because I'm a trooper) I left for work. I stopped at the nearby Speedway and grabbed a soda and some candy, in the hope that the sugar would turn things around. Made it to work with no problems, but that's when things got interesting.

I do a lot of data entry and I joke that I can do my work in my sleep. Sadly, after today I know that is not fact. After getting my work ready, I sat down to begin.

*nod*
*nod*
*nod*

Not good at all.

So after telling my boss that I had to leave, and catching my co-workers annoyed glances, I made my way home. Once again... Not the wisest of ideas. I made it home safely, but praise whomever that the weather was good, as I know several times I caught myself weaving on the road.

I crashed when I got home. I'm somewhat better now... at 5pm. But this was not a fun day.

1-2-13 : You are here

Today we're using the Christmas present from my brother.

Go Bucks!

Day 1 - Jan 2013

Going to try and do one of those year photo diary things. Should be a good way to remember.

Or as the boy would say... His "re-memories"

So here he is, disgruntled that no one will play with him, as we're making dinner.
