Tersosity & Verbosity

• Time for bed, dammit. Oddly ready, too, despite enough sleep in the end. #
• What Remote Button Are You? - http://tinyurl.com/cohssp - You Are Pause #blogthings #
• Who the hell plays basketball in the driveway of their apartment bldg at 11:30 PM and wakes the other residents? Bejus! #
• Guess I should go back to bed. Banged on window so hard I’m sure I almost broke it. They stopped and came in. Unbelievable. #
• Doh! Just remembered work starts at 3:30 today, one time only, so I have even less time to leave. #
• Pondring whether to do walmart run getting dire needed since already so late. #
• Only 3 min late today despite forgot start time was 15 early, which should be Tue norm now. #
• Love the reception on this phone. Did decide to hit walmart. Forgot coupon for digital conveyer but only $40 for 2 wks left anyway. #
• Wasn’t planning to spend half my money for next 2 weeks. #
• Blargh #
• Today need to get more of what is most important done. That is, efforts toward getting different and expanded work. #
• That and I have had a plan for mucking out this room that’s been in a rut and I only just touched yesterday. #
• Mucking room a bit first may be easier if I can. Start there, but continuing on detail rather than going for big stuff. #
• Sad that 2 advertisers have canceled. That puts us on track for $50 less next month, rather than $110 more. #
• @pixxiespaz Yay! There *are* jobs! #
• Mark the calendar! The baby is napping and I managed to put him into bed and have it stick, for the moment. #
• Guess I graduated from tweet & delete to post & delete. #
• @blogthings Yep! 8:09 AM, so I know ascendant is Gemini to go with Arise Sun and Scorpio Moon. If one cares about such things. #
• Clearly time to feed the monsters. Val, anyway, since she was napping when the others got snacks about 5:00. #
• Pot roast quessedillas? Well, Henry loved his. Mine is on stove. #

• Managed to get all the dishes done, but they’ll need to be extracted from tower in strainer carefully. #
• Paused from cleaning the living room in the name of finding Henry’s missing cup. Found 2 others instead under couch. Doh! #
• Argh! Henry just found a prior lost cup under my desk. No, don’t drink that! #
• Sadie just gave me pic to save that has the kids, me, Deb, Mike and Melissa flying kites, ice cream cones standing by. #
• Late late to bed, but living room is dredged of toys and in nice shape. Kitchen won’t take a lot. Still no cup though. #
• Doing one of my bladder wakeups that turns into a stretch of awake time in wee hours before crashing again. #
• OK, do I go back to sleep or do something useful? Back is getting numb if I lean toward keyboard, but not insurmountable. Just freaky. #
• I managed to get tiny part of work-hunting list yesterday, but I was supposed to attack it with a fury subsuming all else. #
• Subsuming? Forsaking, maybe? Whatever. Focus! #
• Baby woke went looking for mom per norm after I am not in bed. Cried and I went back to bed with him. #
• I hate insomnia with the passion of a thousnd new lovers who don’t know what they’re in for yet. #
• Lower legs crazy numb on top of back still a bit inexplicably so. So can’t sleep but tired & will disturb kids if up. #
• Can’t sleep with Henry’s snoring. Sounds like an adult with serious issues. #
• And what’s up with not only numbness in my face, which happens sometimes, but around the lips. Freaky. #
• Snuck back out of bed. Realized not eating supper to speak of may not be helping, so snacking & glass of milk. #
• While in bed not sleeping got e-mail on new “Blackberry” working & figured out it *does* have games on it. Still not keen on trackball. #
• #cotc Carnival of the Capitalists for 3/30/09: http://bizosphere.com/?p=164 #
• Trying to be useful. But first, more milk. Salt & vinegar chips require it. #
• Creating a graphic for upper left/top of Twitter is hard! Tested @marshellis and took about 6 tries for text to be OK at 2 resolutions. #
• Doh! Here’s Henry again. Sees dregs of chips and says “chippidy… chippidy… oooh.” #
• OMG I love this kid! Even if he IS a PITA. #
• Why did the neurosurgeon ask me about eczema? Array of questions was limited. Why that? #
• Time to try for a 4th, maybe 5th hour of sleep. Henry thinks it’s morning, so that could be interesting. #
• Seems that between 1/4 and 1/2 of tweets that should go there make it to new phone, old phone got most of them. #
• Grandma should be home by Easter, has become more cooperative with therapy since learning she wasn’t being railroaded to nursing home. #
• My brother mostly fixed my mother’s car yesterday, ordered headlight assembly. Thought it had sounded savable. #
• Grandma has 10″ rod in hip, going 5″ into femur. Hip looked like ladder with an upright missing. Was that damaged. Ouch. #
• Nephew accepted to Stonehill for chemistry, partial scholarship, applying like crazy for every other one he can find. #
• Why yes, I did just talk at length with my mother! This is good way to spread updates to several interested parties, as well as 100s not so. #
• @pixxiespaz She’s going to go home. So yes. #
• @sharone75 Would you guys be interested in a long-handled metal spatula suitable for outdoor grill? You may have seen it on chimney here. #
• @sharone75 The leather cord broke, but otherwise it’s nice, barely used, but I don’t need it. Thus give away or yard sale fodder. #
• After all this time, Glenn finally linked an edition of CotC! Hadn’t done it since the reboot. Wish it were a better edition, but hey. #
• Kids are funny, all playing huddled around my chair. Have tons to do though in about 4 categories. Food prep, a beef maybe as pot roast. #
• Work on resume. Work on computer. Work on cleaning, mainly organize this room, pack stuff, etc. #
• We’re talking prelim of my bed going in middle room for transition so she can have overnights ASAP even if my room not ready. #
• Which’d have benefit of getting kids used to sleeping in their room, if with me initially as per usual. #
• That risks slowing what I’d had planned at faster pace than one might expect. Have idea how to handle bed taking half room vs storing stuff. #
• Big thing is that the room is so small that if it’s not mine it can’t be in here, period. Especially if my stuff allowed only in this room. #
• I’m supposed to be throwing away most of my computer parts and selling or tossing everything else. Big room small studio size, mine tiny. #
• But I digress, need to get to it. I *will* work on job-hunting today though, if I lift nary a finger otherwise. #
• Trick with old computer parts is sorting the junk from might really need from what might be trash from what might sell on eBay. #
• Got pot roast in crockpot. Dishwasher ready to run, just a few to wash, veggies to do soon to go in crockpot too. Kids great, knock wood. #
• Wondering why Twitter is soooo bad today. #
• Teaching a former colleague how to use LinkedIn. #
• unmountable_boot_volume FTW. #
• Meat had barely begun to cook last I checked. Oops. This may become a pan meal in face of crockpot speed failure. #
• Anywho, now on to job hunt and room mucking items on list. #
• That was good. Apparently the kids would like carrots more often please. Relaxing a few seconds while baths happen. #
• Managed to do a wee bit of room purge. No work hunting. Even late, approaching bedtime, so maybe in my me time before work. #

• Ah, to be a fly on the wall. Rather than in the more usual ointment position. #
• Time for baths. And cleaning up the soy milk Val spilled. Yay. #
• Augh. Can’t stay awake. Keep jerking to sleep. House etc will have to keep while I drag kids to be. It IS an hour late vs normal. #
• Forgot to mention the trailer I unloaded in the dark this AM. Directed manager to have it fixed by Tuesday. Told other manager that for next #
• week’s safety meeting the topic would be how to unload safely in the dark. One guy seems to think it’s dangerous to joke like that at them. #
• But it made him snort and say “ooooh!” #
• Each bay door has big light to shine into trailer. Fixture is dead, notwithstanding my threat to come up with light bulb joke punchlines. #
• The kid who always complains but is aghast if I poke fun at them must have a different relationship. In some ways it’s like I’m one of them. #
• Seriously, though, eyes trying to close as I type. Unset alarms then crash hard. Until a few hours hence when I reach Insomiaville. #
• I don’t know when I last slept 7 hours before even a bladder wake up. Wow! #
• Want more sleep but numbness that migrates depending on position is very distracting. #
• Just testing #
• http://tinyurl.com/czc4fy #
• @ericasadun HTH? HAND? :> #
• Yay, Henry woke! I can stop leaning back against my stitches, maybe DO something with this day after all. #
• Besides hosting backups and extensive but not quite complete Twitter template work. #
• Plans for today centered on job-hunting, sidetracked by possibly trying to get that odd bit of work if there’d been any hope of babysitting. #
• Which there was not, and contacting me Saturday for something major Monday just doesn’t cut it. When I land a JOB presume I’ll have 2 weeks. #
• That and it’ll be regular enough I can count on specific need of specific daycare hours and make it so using known income. #
• Ended up devoting from 11 AM or so on to family stuff. Before bed have couple hours or so feeding, bathing, cleaning to do w/o major clean. #
• Very hard to turn down what I assume is 1 day, $200-300, more to follow other days, but can’t see a way. Kind of stuck. #
• Just discovered an email address I signed up for with a well known webmail service just to reserve name was suspended for suspected TOS prob #
• It really IS kind of funny we moved near my big family because it’d be helpful, then for the most part may as well have been in Alaska. #
• LVM for my mother again before sending sorry can’t response, in which I tried to leave the door open. Recruiter, after all. #
• Shoot! Time to finalize CotC, which will be modest again. Thank goodness for Yellow Submarine, which occupies 2/3 of kids intently. #
• Changing pads seem to have disappeared? Yep, Henry had other plans for me. Should be one in diaper bag, anyway. #
• Right, was working on “go me! hire me!” graphic for other Twitter account, but had no clue what to say. #
• @Ithildyn Really my mother’s too old, and she’s been sucked dry by my brother’s insatiable free babysitting needs. #
• @danabrit Funny, I’ve heard that’s a leading *cause* of boredom. YMMV, I guess. #
• 12 CotC items. Not many. Oh well. I find a lot myself, but that takes more surfing than I’ve done. #
• That’s done. Looks like snacks, maybe leftovers, whatever for supper. Easy, and I already did a big meal. Too many dishes already. #
• Duh! Over hour ago I was in cPanel to create new e-mail account, got sidetracked. Forgot completely I was ever doing that. #
• Thoughts of eBay and purging all my stuff reminded me, as I noticed I had an e-mail address I’d made just for eBay use that didn’t happen. #
• It was cool to discover Vienna Fingers have no eggs or dairy in them. #

• Very late getting to bed. Need to tuck Sadie in & grab the other rats to go with me. Girls are going to roast in footy pajamas they picked. #
• Now to test new phone as alarm clock if I can figure out how, with old 2 as backups. Maybe for $36 I’ll keep as spare, replace ASAP when $. #
• Phone appears to lack an alarm function. Inconceivable! If it’s hard to read the phone itself, the type in manual may as well be invisible. #
• I knew it was inconceivable, especially with analog clock prominent on outside of phone. Just obscure to access. Bed now. #
• Now all I need to do is actually fall asleep. #
• Let’s try the sleep thing again. Hey, it *could* work. #
• Could have slept like a rock all night. I think. Did wake up before alarms. After new phone alarm came and went impotently. That’s bad. #
• Apparently it beeps wimpily a couple times then sits there waiting silently to be dismissed or snoozed, doesn’t autosnooze. #
• 15 mins to leave and barely touched first coffee yet. #
• Short day so much so we have to be here 15 min early Tue for backlash #
• Gonna sponge myself down enough to be clean, shave, get ready for MRI. If kids haven’t managed to wake Deb, best she sleep long as possible. #
• @emoltzen I hate it when that happens! Or, well, *doesn’t* happen. #
• Yup, lumbar only. Both doctors ignored worst part of back. #
• Ok maybe new phone not so bad but if it is wowing me then fill keyboard better still. #
• Decided to stop at old people supermarket on way to bank. Can hit walmart other day. #
• Should go to market basket more often. Better fly to bank and home. Late! #
• LOoks suspiciously like not receiving all SMS tweets #
• Need to review my work hunting list tweets @marshellis and block time to pursue them logically. #
• What Day of the Week Are You? - http://tinyurl.com/67y53h - You Are Monday #blogthings #
• My goal is to have a job by May 3. Target is a good one - daycare worthy. Minimum is more than enough to replace FredCo. #
• Since I am having a burst of self-esteem at the moment, that doesn’t sound absurd the way it possibly should. We’ll see. #
• Possible work Monday start 1 PM not sure end or if more than 1 day, but would need child care if I snagged it. Pay’s about 1 day$ FredCo/hr. #
• Sadie asked to be taught to read today. We sat down for about an hour to make a small start. #
• Doesn’t answer directly ques of whether I might need babysitting Tues etc, but project is pilot for thousands of stores nationwide, so more. #
• More work, more than likely, would follow. I’d prefer more notice. Hard to offload 3 kids just like that. And soliciting me Sat for Mon? Wow #
• On that note, time to make supper. Burgers if I have any sense. Or burritos. #
• Mark the calendar. Henry took his own nap by himself of his own accord today. OK, making supper now. Maybe can fix/send resume later. #
• Kids have drank over half of 1/2 gallon of soy milk I bought today. Amazed how they love it. #

• Ready or not going to bed just to spare myself the insanity of kids noisily playing mothed behind me. #
• Woke at 1, couldn’t sleep more, got up. Then so did Sadie, eating chunk of productive time. Kicked her off lap to get coffee. #
• She’s sitting in front of TV. Don’t remember precisely what I was about to do or was thinking when she came in here. #
• Deb should be home any time, so if needed Sadie can lay down with her. Though she’s likely to fall asleep in chair. Almost was on me. #
• Need a list. Maybe I’ll use my “professional” Twitter account to make one. #
• Man, the economy sure isn’t getting our shipping volume down. Reliably about 3.4 hrs a day is cool. #
• Doc did great job stitching the mole hole. Didn’t bother me, and oddly back’s better than it’s been. #
• The mole was almost directly on the particularly bad spot on back. #
• Trying to keep kids screaming a bit less zealously for sake Sleeping Booty. #
• Trying to keep kids screaming a bit less zealously for sake of Sleeping Beauty. #
• Swapped SIM to new Blackberry. Put borrowed one in old Blackberry, confirmed it works as phone. Tested my number. New one still charging. #
• The old Blackberry is a known good alarm clock, so that it is functional at all is excellent. #
• It’s kind of weird being dependent on someone else available in order to take a shower. Can’t reach to place/remove waterproof bandages. #
• Everyone’s had lunch, I’m almost done, Deb’s getting ready to go, should have about an hour clear to finish post in progress & do job stuff. #
• Did I say that? I mean visit Val’s field of screams, hold Henry, etc. Then it’ll be time to start chicken, do dishes, then maybe more work. #
• Had to replace keyboard on my Vista machine after Henry caused me to spill coffee on it. Deb slept through that little incident. Impressive. #
• Which I was reminded of because I need to replace the mouse on this machine, as the left button barely works. #
• And trackballs? Hate them. Not sure I and the new phone will get along. It’s pretty, but sub-QWERTY, kind of busy. #
• @pixxiespaz Hey, I resemble that remark! #
• I’d love to know what the upstairs neighbor is building perpetually. Awful lot of hammering. Maybe extra shelves for grow lights & plants. #
• Can’t imagine why around me is the preferred place to play and hang out and scream and fight and so forth. #
• New phone simply isn’t going to work. If I can’t see the keys, they might as well be part of a full keyboard. #
• Henry napped on me for hour or so. Put down on bed, woke, hysterical, tough. Now screaming outside my room while I don’t do what I planned. #
• But at least I was able to check and baste the chicken, make sure it didn’t get ruined. #
• Test from new phone. #
• Yep. Must get a job so I can get a real Blackberry. I may be able to get used to it enough to lose urge to put SIM back in 7290, but hard. #
• 2 Hours ago I was about to start doing billable work & cleaning during hurry and wait parts. Henry needed a nap. Now he can’t get over it. #
• I have 14 day period to return the “Blackberry” and stick with my Blackberry, sticking keys and all. I’ll have to use it enough & decide. #
• Worse? It appears to have at least as much prob getting signal in here as the old one, maybe more. New should be stronger. No wen/e-mail. #
• Wen? The world wide wen? That’s web. Sometimes even a full keyboard can’t save you. #
• Tried doing asparagus in oven. We’ll see. For a shy person, it’s amazing how often I talk with strangers in places like the produce section. #
• A woman there told me that’s how she cooked it, except I have no olive oil so used canola. Chicken, gravy, rice, peas for the rest. #
• Apparently the kids were starving for something robust to eat. Except they won’t touch the roast asparagus, which is fantastic. #
• @andrewbarnett Ah, lemon sounds good. I used garlic salt, black pepper, later when it seemed weak added salt, more pepper. #
• Barely managed leftover for Deb out of 2 cups rice I cooked and large batch of gravy. Plus we ate over half the big chicken. #

• Coast clear but hesitant to disrupt bedtime by heaing home just yet. OTOH almost sleepwalking myself. #
• @pixxiespaz Wow, 20%? Funny to see the house brand more than name brand, but I am still wearing ones I bought over 10 years ago. #
• Really hate going right to bed on getting home, but better soon. Sadie’s still up but I didn’t create bedtime chaos with my timing. #
• Kind of weird not to get to talk to Deb as she already crashed for her best chance of week for sleep. #
• My symptoms are so outrageous, but not sure how much is just plain that I woke up almost 22 hrs ago after 2.5 hrs sleep. Shutting up. Maybe. #
• So not enough sleep. Like a rock, but could go hours more. That’s maybe 7.5 hours over past 2 nights. #
• I hate not having my normal length of time awake before I leave for work, but I had to sleep longer. #
• Need to have Deb take more pictures of me now that hair has settled in, even if she’s amused by the request. #
• Looke so light out window thought it was later than this. Seems right otherwise, an still well over 3. #
• Kept rehearsing visit with doc as I worked. That and rehearsed giving my managers 3 weeks notice. Feel bad about. #
• I made it early. Now we’ll see how far behin oc is. Was having face and hand numbness on way, yay. #
• Kind of faint/dizzy too, like last night revisited cept feel awake & downright energetic. #
• Ooh, almost fell asleep #
• Should have taken pain meds this AM. #
• Wish I woul stop falling asleep! #
• Ok, wish I’ stop jerkinf back awake. #
• Yay! 12:07 for my 11:15. They have THE cutest stuent nurse here today. #
• Hey, new Blackberry ought to be here today. That’ll be exciting. #
• 130/90 was the highest reading today. Lower for Katie than Emily. #
• Way more involve than I’d expected. Back in 2 wks on Wed. #
• Got mole & adjacent skin tag removed. Impressively long process. Back in 13 days to see Katie. #
• Didn’t get to talk to doc about much else. He said ouch when he heard EMG. He’d not been updated by neurosurgeon. #
• Off to Walmart for waterproof bandages so I can have showers. And maybe lunch. #
• Emily told me the forehead thing is a cyst & how to deal with it. #
• Forgot how much I liked fire sauce. #
• Thinking I am not roasting a chicken today after all. Maybe tomorrow. And ouch, the anesthetic is about gone. #
• New Blackberry has landed! OK, not a real one, lacking full keyboard, but better than standard cell keyboard. #
• Thinking it needs to wait for tomorrow to swap in sim and charge, not to disrupt use of old one for waking me, etc. #
• And the spot where my back was carved up today? Ouchie. #
• @CotC http://andyswan.com/blog/?p=165 #
• CotC group on LinkedIn started for past hosts. Thinking make it open to anyone w/biz, econ, capitalism interest/enthusiasm. Thoughts? #

• @EternalWanderer Good policy! Tyler would be proud. #
• Annoyingly restless. Usually don’t get up at time Deb comes home but she texted she’ll be late and bladder rang. Back to bed soon. #
• Back to bed! Still might have time for another hour of sleep. Usually don’t get out of bed when I did because we talk if she’s awake. #
• Not that she isn’t my favorite person to talk to most of the time, but she needs sleep, and if I am up either I do, or should use that time. #
• Insomnia really pisses me off! #
• Soon as I gave up and got out of bed, started putting dishes away, I could barely stand, but know I’d still not sleep. Argh! Makes me wonder #
• if it was the soda with caffeine during the day, even though I drank almost no coffee, on top of pep from missing my blood pressure pills. #
• Anywho, don’t want to bustle around house further cept for getting coffee, need to decide on a focus. A post? Work-finding related? Social? #
• The daily “me time” was supposed to be for a combo of being able to write and being able to job/work hunt in the various ways. #
• Hey! Maybe I’ll work on my post from 5 weeks ago that was to help me get attention and work. #
• A shame, too, as in theory it lent itself to chunking. #
• This is really bad. I can’t stay awake after 48 oz coffee following 2.5 fitful hours sleep. #
• Hope working wakes me. Kept trying to go off the road. #
• That was fun. Almost fainted at low point, recovered and did near normal. Kept mentally rehearsing my departure. #
• Which reminded me should ask about other fredco jobs while foot is in door. #
• I’d feel better about my lack of sleep, which had no special cause, if they’d at least let Deb sleep. She really needs it. #
• MRI is at 9 AM Saturday, subject to insurance approving, which ought to be OK. #
• Posted about Lea Thompson and my life as a lever. #
• Time to get moving! Shower, some help cleaning for company, be ready to leave sometime for, well, whatever I’m gonna do. #
• No clue. Really don’t feel like explaining things to my mother today. Takes me so long for giant grocery run could do that big chunk at end. #
• Easy enough to kill a few hours. Oops, Sir Henryhat is cross. Trying to knock over the desk, in fact. #
• Shower and shave FTW. #
• Need to hurry and finish my room before Henry destroys it. Maybe some shelves all the way around, a foot or so down from ceiling would help. #
• Looking at what movies are playing when. Duplicity? Watchmen a second viewing? #
• @sharone75 Wasn’t this days ago? Is it a reappearing tweet? #
• Was doing great detail cleaning. Took something into office sat to check mail Henry pooped on floor, sat on me after. #
• Screamed for Sadie, asked her to bring paper towels when I found floor part with foot, was baffled what I meant. #
• She stood there a couple inches from them being completely mystified then getting upset as I yelled & gestured explan. #
• Ended up grabbing heavy wool winter sock to cover it to be able to move, clean. But argh. #
• On my way out the door to ???. Maybe mall in Taunton. #
• Gotta do something about pants wanting to fall down constantly. And with nobody to take advantage. #
• Keep feeling like I’ll faint. Escalator not place for that. Weird sensation. #
• Saw most of Duplicity. Kept falling asleep. Was good. Owen. Clive Owen. #
• Now to kill an hour. Expected to eat while out but Deb bought me late lunch so may not need. #
• Twitter & texting are big influence on my verbosity. Old lawyer friend emails “how goes it?” I reply: #
• Ah, that’s a question, now isn’t it? Divorce. Neurosurgeon. Career as PT package handler. Yep. Good question indeed. #
• Here I am with a mall to walk around to feel bad about being a loser in an I’m exchanging emails instead. How modern. #
• Hurts back the way I stride on hard floors. Imagining new wardrobe in JC Penney. #
• Japanese-style fast food. Not that fast, actually. Can see why they offer extra meat option on ck teriyaki. #

• @sharone75 Possibly moonlighting using town equipment. Maybe something interesting found on computer. And the dead girl thing of course. #
• @sharone75 They sure had fun with her! #

• Hope tweeting this legitimate local news doesn’t end up making me fear for my life as nothing did last year. #
• The 2 hours before having to fly out the door to work are waaaaay too short. Forgot to guzzle enough coffee, either. Gotta remember pills. #
• Heavy. Went so fast on 1st trailer I jammed the conveyer, stop to clear cost momentum. That and cold, sweaty. #
• Back worse in dif way than normal. The part that sitting, riving, carrying groceries, etc most bothers nagged me. #
• @phillymac I become part of the machine. #
• Love the 6 cent increase in gas due to the world oil glut and downward price pressure. #
• Doh Mom smashed her car #
• She was kind of looking for ride tonight but no way. Has baby sitee crew for that I’d think. #
• Then BMC called. My EMG appointment is in Brockton on May 4 at 8 AM. Have to wait for MRI place to make appointment direct with me. #
• Then call back BMC when I know MRI date, and she’ll make me a followup neuro appointment falling after all that. #
• @poliblogger I noticed & commented as much to Deb after I saw Terminator trailer, and I haven’t seen much of BSG. #
• So little to say today without saying tons. #
• FredCo job definitely has to be replaced for both my and her benefit, soonish. Have sorta plans, not all new, gotta allocate time daily. #
• Have a couple things I want to do in here but need to clean/tidy more & work on computer. #
• Deb’s making supper for kids & guest while I go do my thing, whatever that is, tomorrow afternoon/evening. #
• Was planning to roast chicken today but pan I use is in dishwasher not quite full. Think I have alternate, but have to check size. #
• Was kind of odd my mother calling today when I was thinking of stopping there tomorrow to have a chat before she hears anything oblique. #
• Which would depend primarily on my nephew. #
• Right! I showed Sadie how to draw a dog, courtesy of the internet showing me how, and need to take her printout of the example I found. #
• Heh. She was working on a rather horse-like dog when I went out there. Even looked like he had a saddle. #
• Didn’t realize I was a relative expert on MX records and such. #
• What Tropical Fruit Are You? - http://tinyurl.com/ddan83 - You Are a Papaya #blogthings #
• Doh! Guess if I am going to leave Welcome to Help up in current form I’d better change the number for people not to call to valid one. #
• That was our third line with the old cell plan that just ended and went down to single line. #
• Have an idea for same domain, entirely different business, but haven’t carved time to work on it. Could be ready to generate by now if had. #
• Is there a big conference or mass influx of new Twitter users due to publicity somewhere or what? #
• @CotC http://tinyurl.com/djrydh #
• Sir Henryhat is cross. Well, sad anyway. I think maybe the floor reached up and smacked him again, because it is rude that way. #
• Which means because I was reading about EMG & nerve conduction studies instead of the remaining typing I had to do, I am done real typing. #
• Guess I am not doing the chicken today. Lunch was supper-like, so can always sandwich them. Maybe Friday. Er, Thursday. Missed a day there. #
• Finally finished post about neurosurgeon consultation. NOW to the kitchen and work! #
• Ah. If I want to go all High Fidelity, I have to use Facebook in the process. #
• Kids wouldn’t leave kitchen so I am working on office even though that leaves kitchen undone, & kitchen’s where I can work on dead laptop. #
• @sharone75 No! She spent week staying w/2 nephews whose parents were away, because 20 & 17 year olds need babysitting. OK, rides. And a cook #
• @sharone75 She’s fine. Sounds like car can even be driven if not after dark as no headlights. Just probably not reasonably fixable. #
• @sharone75 Obviously the nephew who’s online/on Twitter/close to me knows the divorce thing is in the air. Probably wouldn’t have slipped. #

• Hate that my day is over after baths, ready or not. Got shower & shave anyway, when Val didn’t want to get out so I got in. #
• @jsbelfiore That’s a great observation/quote. #

• @margilowry Ground turkey in bowl, small bit of oatmeal, packet worth of soy sauce, dab of oil, ginger, garlic powder, celery flakes [more] #

• @margilowry some broccoli, drained, scooped the pieces in, sort of stir fried and added brown sugar, lot of ginger, white pepper, [more] #
• @margilowry dash allspice, maybe more garlic, honey, more soy & oil & brown sugar as needed to form sauce, some corn starch help thicken. #
• @margilowry Simmered away and stirred a lot, coating everything well in process, leaving too little sauce for rice. Served over rice. #
• Wish back didn’t do this from standing at sink. Been having to limit time there lot of days. Never took pain killers today, oops. #
• Also, wanted to do more cleaning but kids are trying to go to sleep on floor beside me because it is past time. Val asleep, in fact. Doh. #
• No sitting up half the night this time. Right back to bed! Plus it’s warm there. #
• Entertaining one very happy boy while not cleanong kitchen table and floor any further. #
• He’d be a good sun replacement in the morning. The sheer joy is boundless. #
• Why is olde England so merry? Because of all the moors. #
• Well, he got bored and wandered off. Whaddaya know. Sesame Street videos not good enough anymore or something. #
• Or he didn’t like my working on a phone/info list with free hand beside the videos that were playing. #
• @pixxiespaz Yes. #
• @pixxiespaz But seriously, I have no idea. I can guess, but… Appointment is 1. Do they run on time? How long does it take? He has to #
• @pixxiespaz look at the MRI films as part of it. If I am out at 2 then could be home by 3. Later may add time to commute. #
• @pixxiespaz So I’d probably assume 5 and earlier is gravy but very possible, later not impossible. #
• @pixxiespaz A shame it’s cold day. Sadie may look to go to playground, either one is walkable. Can show you where big stroller is. Leave key #
• @pixxiespaz Meant to finally get a spare apartment key made, but oh well. #
• @pixxiespaz Yep. Deb leaves at 1:30 and it is crazy when she’s trying to go even if I am here. Time for adjustment & briefing is good. #
• We’ve never had someone babysit like this before, except Deb’s mom when Henry arrived, FT with her staying here. #
• Which is why Val remains the only one never to have slept overnight at someone else’s house. #
• @pixxiespaz Check your e-mail, and there should be a printout here. #
• @sharone75 Check your e-mail, and there should be a printout here. #
• Running late! About to leave soon as I grab stuff I gotta have. #
• Dead stop on 495! #
• Dead stop on 24! #
• Modern! Not films, but a CD of MRI. Dread going back on 1 lane rte 24 to park my way north. #
• Rove round and round in garage at 710 Albany 9 mins before got spot. Yay being early. #
• Done with paperwork, super early. Brisk out there, windy. Short walk. Easy drive. $5 to park. #
• Now in exam room while he looks at MRI CD. An on time octor? Is the the outer twilight limits or something? #
• Thorough! No nonsense but all there when you are the patient. Lumbar MRI. EMG (nerve conuction study). #
• Then followup but oesnt sound like surgery, or any time soon. #
• On my way via maybe lunch and quick store stop. #
• @pixxiespaz If you get this, think I’m stopping for Chinese wings maybe something else for kids, if you have a pref. #
• @pixxiespaz Yes. Prefers Can-Grape. Only thing there a prob is cow milk. Mmm… Sweish fish! #
• Popping in Stop & Shop. Juice, bread, sugar basically. #
• Chicken wings, ck lo mein, pork frie rice. No cooking supper today. Work on computer instead. #
• I think I was getting wrong some of the tests of whether he was using needle or hand to poke spots. #
• Also not sure the reflex tests were ok. I clearly didn’t or barely responded to a couple. #
• Ugh. It’s late! How’d that happen? Anyway, Henry’s not on me now, so I should go make CotC post and give it the footer I didn’t tweet. #
• Also? I should do a post about the neurosurgeon visit. I can never remember to tell a doc everything I want, and he was very structured. #

• Hey, he’s giving me time to prepare for bed! A full night of sleep ought to do wonders for tomorrow. #
• Got nice & comfy in here a while ago. Finally got suspicious. Kids turned heat to 95. It was over 70. #
• The least I could do on my big sleep night is stay reliably asleep. #
• Not sleeping. Maybe soon. #
• Perhaps I should try to get a little sleep. This IS my catch up night and thus productive day, after all. 4 hours would be failish. #
• Posted pic of Henry on my shoulders in Mall after haircuts. http://blogblivion.com/2009/03/22/piggyback/ #
• Find it interesting that Twitter almost always barfs when I click to see Replies page, has to be refreshed or tried again. #
• Need to call T-Mobile, do CotC which’ll be light this week, review stuff for tomorrow & make info for sitter, continue cleaning. #
• Oh! Should really remember to take my blood pressure pills. That’ll just fill me with energy to get everything done and be ready for more. #
• Nachos for lunch. Henry loves salsa. #
• Have a cool idea for supper, if I want to be that elaborate and ground turkey is still good. Vaguely general gao’s but meatballs & broccoli. #
• @Shurakai Nope. My existing service turns off sometime in the couple hours after midnight tonight. No phone for Boston won’t do. #
• @Shurakai Deb thought it was odd there was no mail at all for us yesterday. #
• But that was partly because it seemed to be 2nd day of none, as I’d grabbed mail day before. #
• Tried to teach Sadie about drawing perspective this AM. Just showed me a car she drew that looked like she’d extrapolated somewhat. #
• T-Mobilr rep I canceled with left out the unlimited texting so actual cheapest logical plan for me is $65/mo + probably $3 tax. #
• Still saves $42 from having the other 2 lines, 400 extra minutes, web on Deb’s deceased phone. #
• Wow, a workorder I could do, close enough in a pinch. With a service time of hop in car in less than an hour and scurry there. #
• Anyway, my service will continue as if nothing changed and I’ll have new Blackberry in a few days. Unlimited data and texting, 300 mins. #
• More than prepay, so it’s like $15+ extra to use it for multi e-mail accounts anywhere. That’s done, anyway. Just under 2 wks $ after rent. #
• Sadie keeps drawing Melissa. Seems very excited. #
• Maybe taking away texting would have helped my Twitter addiction. Need to try an app on phone for it if I can, use multi accounts. #
• @Shurakai I can stick it in the spare phone when it arrives and then still have a spare until time to turn it over. #
• Gotta do some CotC and get back to cleaning. #
• Decided yesterday I need to go talk to my mother soon, before she hears things and runs with wild incomplete divorce tales. #
• Great picture of Valerie: http://tinyurl.com/d2fsdv #
• Got best CotC entry ever! #
• Done reviewing. NOW sleeping boy is in the way and day almost out of time. #
• okay, boy has to wake or sleep elsewhere or I will both burst and be irate about being tied down any longer. #
• He’s not napping on me again without a diaper. And how could he hold it all that time, then let loose on becoming wakeful? #
• Sadie’s all curious because I burst out “aww, I love her!” when I read e-mail from Shaula Evans with words “visionary” and “genius.” #
• Sir Henryhat was cross. #
• Oh man. “Jay” from T-Mobile just called LVM, puzzled about order for unlimited text on my service when all lines are set to be canceled. #
• While I was on phone w/brother who had me look up showtimes for Sunshine Cleaning online. Mystery solved: not released until 3/27. #
• He says my grandmother is apparently healing well but no knowing if she’ll be able to return home. #
• And also? I already HAVE unlimited messaging, so it’d not be a change to current T-Mobile plan if it weren’t flagged for cancel I undid. #
• Just have to remember tie-up CotC tweet before bed, done otherwise pending last second entries. #
• Now guess it’s supper and cleaning. Try to put off bedtime all I can. #
• Invented what I’m referring to as General Gao’s Turkey Meatballs and having a foodgasm. Also was so pretty, took first food picture in ages. #
• The kids are STILL quietly stuffing themselves at the table. Val can’t get enough of the broccoli. #

• @Shurakai Doh! Apparently those drugs will be needed. #
• Slept well, but feels way too short. Can’t say how much I appreciated waking to pot of coffee already brewed for me. #
• And the two of us still do brain sharing. She brought home new sauce pan. Yesterday I was thinking I wouldn’t mind having another of those. #
• What Part of Spring Are You? - http://tinyurl.com/dllsf8 - You Are Spring Cleaning #blogthings #
• Slow down, passage of time! What’s the hurry? Not at work yet, after all. #
• Hoping with better sleep tonight & full night to look forward to it’ll be easy to plow through lot of work today around here. #
• Deb’s laundry-doing productivity astonishes me. #
• Oddlly late for light day, but it was insane for incompatibles. Which’d be why trailer count didn’t drop more. #
• It is unbearably annoying to be late an get behind a cowoirker also driving here but less vehemently. #
• Trying to figure out how to make day useful. #
• Lots of cleaning. #
• Feeling mildly panicky about service ending Monday (when Monday, you know?) so even more leaning retaining T-Mobile, + cheap new Blackberry. #
• Filled 2 1/4 trash bags from office and closet so far this morning. Ah, I sat down. Henry climbing me. This is day 1 of no Henry on me zone. #
• I hate the MORE button interface vs the original. Never go back more than 2 pages now, sometimes don’t bother at all. #
• Ooh. If the beef I bought is actually good, I should cook it now, as I do other stuff, one way or another. Could be chili instead of roast. #
• Need to do CotC entries. Duh! And work on blogs. But really need to make big household progress. Humoring Henry now. Too soon for nap. #
• And he is letting me type while he watches Mamas & Papas sing. #
• Deb’s getting to try out Pogo’s II this AM, something I always wanted to do after Phantom Gourmet profiled them ravingly. #
• @JustJenni Yep. And not dorky at all! I appreciate it. #
• @Shurakai LOL! Not just sexy, but sexAY? #
• Letting Henry run around bare bottomed while he potty trains makes me nervous when he falls asleep. #
• http://tinyurl.com/c9noke #
• Oddly unsurprising to me, curious what it’s about. Thought he was moron, but he married girl I was crazy for, cheated whole brief marriage. #
• @Shurakai Canadian spelling would be different though: “Sex, eh?” #
• I always wondered how he finagled his way into job of Chief in the first place, but some people do people & politics very well. #
• @Shurakai Already knew. Maybe if Jen had known TMI about me… But naw, her family would have been package deal, so just as well. #
• Making fish sticks & fries for lunch. Excuse to run oven even briefly before I freeze to death. Hello, spring? #
• Ah, possibly connected to other article I tweeted: http://bit.ly/rbFEI (HT: a little birdie) #
• Hey look, I sat down and now Henry is on my lap even though he already napped! Habit much? Gotta go prevent food from charring anyway. #
• Flavor of teriyaki cold after overnight to sit is if anything better, but different & awfully close to replicating Chinese restaurant wings. #
• Not sure how I do that. #
• Bejus. Sat down, typed, Henry got down from table, started to climb me. Told him he will NOT sit on me every last time I sit down. Change. #
• Am I that behind the times, still thinking 800×600 is what one accommodates? Probably. Feels like that passed faster than 640×480. #
• Then again, time flies. #
• Anyway, trouble is I have to limit my closing the door to be undisturbed time when watching them. Can’t picture moving, or it being better. #
• @lalunablanca As I typed it I was thinking about the mobile trend, too. #
• Sitting killing lower (oddly enough) part of back, so can’t stay here anyway. #
• Someone puts you in box. Then promotes what’s behind curtain, sounds like just another box. Then other curtain, also suspiciously box-like.
• While being suspicious of either curtain (Box B or C), guess it makes sense to be especially wary of Box C if preferred by Box A builder. #
• Though perhaps it is preferred as the more direct route to closing flaps on over-enthusiastic self-boxing prospective new boxee. #
• Sorting through boxes of random stuff that was tossed in them just to make it stack less precariously. #
• Just gave Sadie my magnifying glass. She was excited about it originally, seemed to know exactly what it was already. #
• Speaking of which, was going to scan some of her drawings while I cleaned in here. #
• Sounds like they are not handling the responsibility of playing & being happy kids very well. #
• I find myself understanding/sympathizing with parents & stepmother more I ever did before. #
• Hope there are no more ultrasound pic, yay you had a baby cards, etc. in next stuff I go through. #
• @Shurakai Antibiotics are your friend. Had infection in root of tooth for years. #
• Lap boy is watching the Who and looking sleepy. #
• Sadie needs to stop drinking most of a bottle of Cran-Tangerine daily. #
• Progress is good. Multiple boxes of books boxed. Shelf space made even if for stuff to be out of kid reach pending further action. #
• Posted a slightly older picture of me holding Henry while he sleeps: http://tinyurl.com/claul8 #
• Need to feed the small humans. But what? #
• @pixxiespaz Heh. Was thinking of something involving ground turkey. Maybe rice. Seasoning or sauce. #
• @pixxiespaz Speaking of which, we used to eat chicken Rice-a-Roni all the time and eventually I made homemade Henry-safe. Should again soon. #
• Speaking of rice, need to see if I am still ahead by 5 lbs or if last bit in canister is end. Canister fits 5 lbs, plus like one ahead. #
• @margilowry I loved that song when I was in 9th grade. Associations with my 9th grade crush, though MacArthur Park is much more so. #
• Not sure I want to handle meat with these finger cracks. Ouch. We’ll see. Maybe even simple sandwiches and fruit. #
• Day is over when I feed kids. They follow with baths, then it’s about bedtime, if only Henry wanting to go ASAP after that. #
• k,l
  pkj ,m #
• That was Henry’s first tweet. #
• Kids are eating cereal. They had a big lunch, so not as odd as sounds. Except Sadie, who requested tuna sandwich. Maybe to trap Hobbes? #

• Had to give Henry Benaryl try to sooth down for itching all over from renching self in mom’s shampoo. #
• Falling back to sleep woul be good. Henry managed, for loudly crowing me values. #
• Woke closer than comfy to alarm time, unrealistic fears of not making it to work. Blah. #
• Gave up, though brought small blanket & pillow to office chair in case. Was originally awake before midnight, under 4 hours sleep. Yay. #
• Between freight train beside me, kids pushing me off bed, & legs doing pins & needles and sort of twitch/crawling thing that makes me nuts. #
• Then the anticipation of alarm going off. Upped it to 2:15 from 1:45 after laying back down with Benadryl Boy, but even so. #
• Blargh. #
• At least there will be plenty of time to drink three coffees. #
• Will have to gas up in AM. Low gas light came on as she arrived home a while ago. Wish it didn’t have to come out of little left in PayPal. #
• Henry haircut pics & couple other things are up at http://blogblivion.com/ as something good to do to kill pre-work time. #
• And now it’s late! Was gonna drink 3 coffees because I was awake before midnight, yawn. Oh well. #
• Now if I can make it to Joe’s for gas, I’ll be all set. Remembere uring work I need $ to go to Boston Monday. #
• I’ forgotten that outlay. Oh well. #
• Wow, just fell asleep waiting for last sms tweet to send. Better not o that while moving. #
• Managed not to fall asleep driving, but I’d prefer not to have to put in an effort to do so. #

• @Shurakai Ouch! Hope it works out well and feels better. #
• @EternalWanderer You are so talented! #
• @ericasadun Yes. Even shrunken it seems to get confused or something, not always show it. Kept trying to use prior one at first. #
• Definitely have to deal with the nap situation. Managed to get him off me after 2 hrs and he’s still sleeping, 3-4 hrs before bedtime. #
• Stop & Shop chicken wings, sell by 3/21, opened to the smell of “those were bad days ago.” No chicken wing experiment today. #
• A shame, since I suspect my ad hoc marinade of being tasty, even if it wasn’t going to get to soak them long. Maybe I’ll use on breasts. #
• Just realized that using boneless chicken with my sauce this way makes it essentially chicken teriyaki. I can live with that. #
• Improved the profile picture. I mean, dimensions evened & size reduced, not like replacing the face with a better looking one. Tall order. #
• Think it’s funny Sadie draws me with spiked hair, almost like Val’s curls. Showed her how I’d draw it instead. #
• Doh. Henry in bedroom, just realized as I was about to go put recliner together, check bottom to be sure all clean, return to living room. #
• @pixxiespaz Perhaps they sold you the not pre-spoiled ones. They can be a little sketchy at times, but that’s extreme. #
• That’s going to have to be enough marinade time. #
• Sadie wrote the word friend, sheer guesswork, as pprofe. So cute! #
• Henry apparently likes yellow mustard, which girls would never touch. #
• Cooking details need perfecting, but the flavor for the teriyaki? Wow! Just about perfect, which is when I wish I had measurements. #
• Various amounts of soy sauce, honey, oil, brown sugar, teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, mustard powder, red pepper. #
• Sadie loved them, happy to have “chicken wings” again. #
• @EternalWanderer Totally not sarcastic. #
• @EternalWanderer Isn’t C++ something they cover to some degree in school? Or as an optional? #
• It’s already at the early side of when I’d happily go to bed. Been mostly awake since just about midnight. Better check water rodents in tub #
• Sadie is studying how to spell “Hershey’s” and notes that H is also for Henry. Yep. Reading needs to be taught Real Soon Now. #
• While others were in bath, thumbed through large chunk of “The Art of Michael Whelan” with Sadie, who was entranced. #
• Only one I’d gone through with her before was Currier & Ives, way different and been several months. Promised more ASAP as we have chance. #
• Oh well. Clear some stuff in kitchen, bandage finger, then it’s curtains for this day. Lacy, gently wafting curtains. #
• @EternalWanderer Fascinating it’s so wrapped around one language. In my day you had 2 sems Pascal, then others, some optional like Fortran. #

• @sharone75 Did you miss my reply regarding I could stop there on my way home from work circa 7 AM? #
• Got to sleep early, everyone was so tired, didn’t want to get up at all. Snoozed most of hour in 5 minute not-agains. #

• There’s no T station anywhere near Boston Medical Center??? #
• It seems weird also that the transfer is from Middleboro/Lakeville line to Franklin line, another commuter rail, vs subway line. #
• Oh well. Have time to look at that more and decide what to do. #
• Looking up chicken wing recipes. Got unfinished wings at the build your own food store, price of which makes restaurant a bargain. #
• Don’t recall cooking wings before. Want to try my own Chinese style, since kids loved them so much. #
• Too late for today, but contemplating what to make reminded me to look. If marinading, could do overnight. #
• Can’t help wondering if it’d be a wash to drive to Boston Medical, since it’s middle of day. Or drive to T if easier to connect. #
• Gin? Sherry? For chicken wings? Unexpected. #
• Didn’t get a good “after” picture WRT the haircut for me, but the before pictures are shocking to me in how thin I look. #
• Reminds me of the famous “skinnyme” picture when I was almost anorexic. #
• @phillymac Hooray for FiOS! #
• If it bothers to show, the thumbnail of me has been changed to a before pic at barber shop yesterday. A bit dark, but hey. S/B small enough. #
• Could have skipped cooking, just given kids grapes and pears. Maybe split a burger & a handful of fries between them. #
• Forgot about Deb’s date night when eying gas gauge this AM. Or anyway thought she’d be out this afternoon, fill it, be set. #
• She’ll either have to fill it there or back, or it’ll be pretty empty on my way home from work tomorrow. #
• Oh well. More dishes, get kids from tub, probably mop bathroom floor as result of kids in tub, maybe I can get a lot done Saturday. #
• Definitely have to get an after picture. Odd the only one is on Deb’s phone, when we were in mall later. Didn’t see it, no idea any good. #
• Seemed to think it was cute, Henry on my shoulders looking like mini-me. Just realized I need a shower. Duh. Kids will hate that. #

• Hope the vinegar smell from recliner isn’t a problem worse than the bad smell was. Off we go. #
• Man, waking up is hard this morning. #
• And high of 56 notwithstanding, I’m fuh-reezing right now. 31 outside. Normal 60-something inside. #

• Just had Henry on lap playing Sesame Street videos for him and I couldn’t stay awake. That’s no way to start the day! #
• I feel all British and stuff. Sandwich of beef, cheddar, mustard. Salt & vinegar chips on the side. #
• Trying to reschedule Saturday’s rescheduled client visit to Thurs or Fri, waiting for her to get to desk & see e-mail. #
• Getting camera freshly batteries with lithium to see if it then works better have it ready to take, then gotta start readying myself. #
• Wish me luck. Calling T-Mobile to cancel. Might mean I am without any cell a day or two. #
• Oh man, I could have gotten a Blackberry flip for $30 and offer stands for 90 days due to cumulative longtime customer bennies. #
• Service stops 3/23, which is end of bill period *they have yet to bill.* Thought the one outstanding was in advance for this but #
• T-Mobile rep claimed they don’t bill in advance, so bill we have due 3/20 is for period ended 2/23. Never paid that much attention. #
• Makes sense if there can be overage charges for stuff that goes above your number of minutes, etc. #
• After I hung up, told Deb what I could get & she thought I should have taken it as $50 for all that + $30 phone would be great deal. #
• Glad I have a window to decide. #
• Successfully rescheduled Saturday home visit to Friday so Deb can be at a Saturday appointment. Bonus that it gets client done sooner. #
• Made it to barber shop. #
• Brought kids to mall. Ate subs and now ended up in Borders. #
• Not content to strew books, Henry chooses instead to dismantle fixtures. #
• @pixxiespaz mmm… Cake. #
• @sharone75 Does the Pope poop in the woods? Is a bear Catholic? #
• @sharone75 Or if ppl there are up circa 7 AM or so I could stop there? #
• @sharone75 And it amused me to use the Pope and bear thing. #
• Watching John the barber cut the hair of a crying, squirming 19 month old efficiently, safely and well is impressive. #
• He remarked about Henry having the same super soft, thin, straight hair that runs in the rest of the family (it’s not just me). #
• Even the girl who wouldn’t date me & made sure I’d never believe anyone else at all would want to either liked to touch my hair. #
• Thought of a great webcomic title. If only I could draw. Well, really draw, even enough for that. #
• Was going to do dishes or such and Henry needed entertaining, then left. At loose ends because it’s close to bedtime, feel beyond ready. #
• Mall walking and co-herding the kids was as hard on us as on them. #

• Heavy day but we frikkin rock. Part of my woozy issue seems to be need to eat more/dif. #
• Wondering if Deb grabbed my prescrips or if have to go get them ths am. #
• First, Hannaford. #
• Of course donuts have green sprinkles today. Duh. It’s a major New England holliday. #
• Corned beef? Naw! Got extremely cheap roast beef I can cook without much time or attention, maybe big enough for sandwiches later. #
• @pixxiespaz Yay! May you emerge unscathed. #
• Just saw last night the skiffy channel rebranding itself into contemptuous oblivion. I might expect them to change to “SF Channel” but hello #
• Today: recliner, dishes, table, peek at laptop, $ review, T-Mobile (no, really), room purge enough for me to notice progress, all else gravy #
• Managed to hold at 233 this AM. May be to point I’m so dehydrated it’s a negative. Keep forgetting liquid. Drank maybe 20 oz all yesterday. #
• Except maybe some dishes first, it’s time to clean the vomit-felled recliner long dried from first pass at it. Wish me luck. Or something. #
• Henry broke my reading glasses that were in their spot where he *could* reach but normally wouldn’t try. Silly kid. #
• This is my tiny pause between dishes and cleaning poor recliner. Hope I can figure out how back comes off, as that’s key. #
• @phillymac LOL! Of course, they’ve got nothing on the CyA. #syfy #
• Not only is she beyond talented, Deb is practicing Xtreme Knitting, finishing socks in kitchen with kids mothing around her vehemently. #
• Figured out how to get back off of recliner. Last one to do it I think was bro-in-law for one of my last 2 moves. #
• Mi oh mi will they even tri to admit they were hygh with a heavy sygh or let a New Coke retri opportunity slyde bi? #syfy #
• Vinegar, or lemon if testing says it won’t bleach? Probably vinegar is best. #
• The Grass Roots really were awfully good. #
• Is that burning rubber smell someone’s corned beef & cabbage cooking downstairs? #
• @FroynLaven You mean NOT allowed ever? F*Ing Bank. #

• @jimhill Is there a combined word for those of us who do all three heavily? #
• Wow. OnF*rce is offering me a workorder for Nantucket again. That’d go swimmingly. #
• henry asleep on lap not compatible w/cooking, cleaning, much at all. #
• Someone needs a nap. It’s not one of the kids. #
• Having a timeout for myself before head explodes. #
• If Henry could just freakin STAY ASLEEP when he wants a nap, without being ON ME, it’d solve most of life’s problems. Holy crap. #
• Happens every day, I reach a point of sore/sleepy/frustrated at which I am ready to break. It’s peak “gotta do” time and they’re nuts. #
• Only reason I was gonna be able to get oven going w/supper almost on time was Val needing me to put Henry down, but he woke, hysterics. #
• Sadie asked for sandwich when he was settling on me & I had her wait, now she wants it, hysterics. I ask them get out from underfoot. #
• Hysterics. Realize they are going to prevent my making supper. My turn for hysterics. Sounds like they’ve chilled some now. #
• What I wouldn’t give for the ability to close the door between kitchen and living room so I could spend a few minutes serving them in peace. #
• Well, that’s better. Even I may have been crankier for lack of food, as I ate less than kids & never thought to eat anything lunchtime. #
• 2 of kids just had a third meal, so not like they were starving, just seem to have a hungry day. #
• @Shurakai Was gonna reply on PC to tweet that came to Blackberry, but it’s not here. Was gonna ask if your couch was comfortable. Heh. #
• @Shurakai Must be possible to get near there by train/bus/thumb, but then are there even lowly jobs walking or bus distance? #
• Still trying to figure out deal with Feather Pen WordPress theme author link redirecting to spam site. #
• @Shurakai Wouldn’t want to drive Buick there & it’d be needed here. Not srsly contemplating moving away, if so it’d be bc $ outweighed. #
• @Shurakai On other note, will I receive that sim soon? May just get prepaid ASAP but option to wait would be cool. #
• Henry howling. Beef in oven, was sitting for a minute before back to cleaning recliner and beyond. #
• @Shurakai Cool! #
• Apparently Val walking in on Henry’s latest need a nap session cured him of it just when I was ready to start surfing queued Wikipedia stuff #
• Now it’s continue learning about Body dysmorphic disorder and tangential/related topics, or do what I planned if he’ll allow it. #
• Recliner is cleaned, for needs a couple days to dry & may need more/different odor-killing cleaning before I’m done. Darn virus. #
• Beef almost done. Could be more tender. Need to make stuff to go with, but nobody’ll be in hurry to eat. Need to clean more next. #

• Not just DM, there are tweets I made and didn’t delete that don’t exist! Not useful as one was note to self I was now able to use/look up. #
• Was going to cook something real for kids for supper. It’s time to eat. Dishes I put to soak at 2:40ish still there b/c Henry. Bed in 2 hrs. #

• Funny to go to bed on time on night off. Sadlt w nada done. Kids demanded, I couldn’t stay awake. #
• I’d been considering protecting my updates. Just did so to make what I say less public, after bad reaction to something not that awful. #
• I’d tried pointedly to be nicer/less detailed yesterday, and that’s the day that got me yelled out of actual sound sleep of almost 4 hours. #
• She could be right that I made it sounded heartless, but I understood completely. Just not the strength of reaction. Oh well. #
• It’s a compromise. Was going to delete entire account. She assumed I’d delete tweet in question and ordered me not to. #
• Numbness hasn’t been as pronounced in some ways, but can’t lay up onto left side or right goes numb, stuff like that. Foot usually numb. #
• @pixxiespaz Cool! I think we’ll have you come over (take em somewhere if you want but…). Sounds like Sharon may be able, but makes easier. #
• Couple more CotC entries then done already unless I see or receive more. #
• FWIW I expect to tweet less here, despite (because?) settings change. Perhaps I can post briefs to the new blog that cover some of the same. #
• Wondering what Chinese foods are least likely to have milk, egg or peanut. Probably many options. #
• Well, except I don’t actually have enough cash. Not to do more than buy a single menu item, or 3 fries and maybe nuggets for kids at BK. #

• a bit disturbed Sadie’s pics have started showing or accounting for 4 of us, or if mom too, separate like in other car herself. #
• @pixxiespaz yep, but it’s been most of a yr since she started working ft while i watched kids #
• Holy crap.How Henry can sleep for 11 hours overnight then take a 2+ hour nap on me no more than 5 hours later I have no idea. #
• But my back is killing me and not in normal way, but it “I an feel the spot in upper spine where disc compression must be” sort of way. #
• Wednesday we’re all going to barber for me to be able to take Henry for 1st haircut & Deb to be able to enjoy it too. #
• Need to make him stop looking like the future rock star he seems to want to be, When he’s not wearing an astrophysics hat or something. #
• Probably need to take drugs, since I haven’t since last night. Not before bed as I was thinking, but during… discussion after midnight. #
• Which because this is us became increasingly civil and basically a normal conversation about life, sex, our past, the kids, The Boy, etc. #
• Still, if it was 1 AM when I took 2 Tylenol & 4 ibuprofen, that’s over 13 hours to wear it off. Then need shower, take kids to Stop & Shop. #
• Sadie was all excited as I speculated about taking 1 or more of them to restaurant but I have $8 w/o taking *more* out of too small stash. #
• Back on my lap, whining and head butting my breastbone. Hard. Hurts when he does that. #
• How Assertive Are You? - http://tinyurl.com/acuocx - You Are Not Assertive #blogthings (Yeah, this is the problem!) #
• Sadie this AM drew Stop & Shop and wrote the store name sign remarkably close for no idea how to spell almost anything. We were stunned. #
• Kids are practically pushing me out the door. Was sposed to be outing this AM while Deb was home, but was slow myself, guarded her sleep. #
• My night of massive sleep was 3-odd sound hrs, 4 hr gap after woken to fight, then 3 not as sound hrs. #
• I am always solicitous about sleep. so I basically locked kids in my room & tried to entertain them 1st 2-odd hours of day. #
• Gah. I’d better move. Maybe I’ll look in mirror & decide unshowered is OK enough. Also want bad to raid mad money for Chinese. #
• Mad money is already half gone, though, and hard to replace. #
• @Shurakai Wow! That looks sooo good! #
• Sadie heard me muttering to myself and said, in a how could you think such a thing tone, “you’re not ug-leeee!” #
• After I saw the Kevin Spacey thing again. Since I can see it’s true in mirror, made me ask how I could think I am, etc. #
• Was also admiring my down to 233 lb self, musing I look at thin as I did lighter before- more muscular, amazed I thought fat&ugly when 205. #
• Managed the 12 items or less checkout. Kids rock in store. #
• Lo mein has nothing forbien for Henry. They use no egg in their frie rice: safe. Spare ribs chicken wings safe. #
• Subject to language barrier of course. Mike & Ike gumball machine stuck gave endless supply, quarter back. Doh. #
• That went well. Girls suddenly LOVE chicken wings. Henry loved lo mein. Everyone loved rice w/duck sauce. Wings were mainly for me, so oops. #
• Managed leftovers for Deb when she gets home tonight if hungry. Not her faves, but at least the rice is something. #
• Now. Almost blacking out/fainting when stood up from releasing Val from car was bad. Stood, collected self a moment, went on. Now incessant. #
• It was like eating made it worse. So much for it being low sugar. #
• Related to back? Dunno. Upper back has never been as bad in recent times as chair/Henry combo & drug lapse made it today. #
• Could feel exact spot they must have seen problem, responsive to touch. Payback for my deciding no hurry to see specialist, worry after yrs, #
• Anyway, gotta get rest of groceries from car. Nothing perishable to make it easier, just necessaries, except broccoli on sale kids wanted. #
• Funny when Glenn Reynolds links something I did, independently. #
• Henry just made me howl, shoving my head back against chair and slamming bad spot on back. I am not pleased. It better subside and fast. #
• Talked to older brother. Mom has told grandma in no uncertain terms she is not coming home until/unless she can get herself to bed &toilet. #
• If never, then it’ll be time for nursing home. Be a while, anyway, given that it’s recovery from hip surgery at almost 93. #
• looked up my neurosurgeon while Henry on lap http://bmc.org/neurosurgery/choo.html #
• If Henry can’t stop hurting me, he’s going to be declared too big for my lap. Not hurting as in back etc, but slamming head into me, etc. #
• Need to go pretend to clean things slightly and then get them to bed as they are all but demanding. Sadie’s asleep on floor near me. #

• Sipping soda to clear throat. Not going over well. Kids mostly set, so I can sleep soon. #
• Nice of BMC to remind me of appointment Monday 23rd at 1 PM, since they *never made me an appointment* to my knowledge. #
• Now have to figure out how to be at neurosurgeon appointment I can’t be at, and was happily allowing to delay since I’d not heard from them. #
• Since it was better/in modest holding pattern (lower back not so much but they didn’t even look at that), wasn’t worried. Years in making. #
• Shoot, have to leave! Damn celestial mechanics/arrow of time. #
• FWIW feel a bit icky but system probably empty so no more expunging. Water only, no coffee, slept extra mroe meh values of sleep. #
• Also? Not eating + emptying everything = 235 even wearing a sweatshirt. #
• 2 Late trailers just got here but I am leaving early bc too sick. Almost fell in trailer, dizzy. Did, but on packages. #
• Caught myself but it was walking 2-3″ strip to baclk after lifting belly flaps. Empty I’d have fallen a few feet. #
• How sick did I get? 231 lbs this morning. If that could stick and go down 3 more I’d have dropped a total of 80 from peak in 15 months. #
• Canceled computer cleanup in someone’s home this AM. Think I am going to postpone bank & dropping off rent too. Landlord’ll wait til Monday. #

• @neatlytangled Earlier said “hey Mikey, he likes it!” to one of kids, then mentally subbed “her” for “it” and was amused as only I can be. #
• @EternalWanderer Do me a favor? Ask your mother if she’d be able to help my mom watch kids Mon 3/23 afternoon, or take them herself. #
• EternalWanderer Asked Sharon first, then will move on to others if she can’t, so that’d be a heads up. They’re a lot for 1 grandma. #
• Helps to remember the @ when addressing someone in a tweet. #
• Was gonna bake boneless chicken breasts in some form, but Val wants hot dogs, and oven can still run to make potato puffs. Freezing. #
• Sure I can eat some of that at this point. Making corn, too, so they’ve had a veggie as used to be more regular than lately. #
• They have been wrecking place mercilessly while I more or less vegged. Spread bottled waters all over from case of them. for instance. #
• Sadie demanding grilled cheese. That was what she threw up the other day. No. Not until I am beyond certain it’s over. #
• Wondering if there is a word of its own for a male ingenue, since ingenue is defined as female. #
• Look at my wrist! Better go check potato puffs, start the rest. #
• Being nice dad I made Sadie half a grilled cheese, less cheese, less greasy. She ate half a hot dog & didn’t touch that. Silly kid. #
• She’s being spoiled currently by my having given her a Cadbury caramel egg from my stash. Deb delighted me with a pack, then I got another. #
• @pixxiespaz Do you mean take them at some place I would drop them, or come here to hang with them? That’d be awesome if we need it. #
• Trying to get Sadie to bathe through the possibility of leaving house tomorrow. If $, might take girls to eat or even just hit Stop & Shop. #
• Realized I not only could take them to Flatiron for breakfast, leave allergy boy out, also could sit at Chinese cheap enough. #
• On that note, I should return plate to kitchen & wash little monsters who aren’t clever enough to ask for dessert after others get in tub. #

• Gotta love modern tech, able to text w/away parent re house being messily sick. Silver lining Val chose now to move to regular toilet. #
• Well, time for be. Past it AM comes too soon. #
• Not acceptable to wake after 2 hrs then have prob sleeping again. #
• Got back up to take Maalox & letting reflux settle. Freezing! No space on bed w/kids didn’t help sleep either. No Deb yet but expect her. #
• She texted while I slept to see if needed stomach sick supplies picked up on her way. Too mild, I think, even if all have it. #
• Sadie just wasn’t ready to ask for & devour entire grilled cheese sandwich after so little other food lately, thus throwing up. #
• I really need sleep. Tempting to go grab alarms (cell phones), blankets, curl up in here with white noise to lull better. #
• Also skipped shower, either have to have time for before work or go without. Have to have one again after work anyway before bank run. #
• Wish Thurs had been more productive. Tomorrow has AM errands. Sat. has AM run to a customer’s house. #
• Before next Wed want to work on laptop, almost need to complete purge of this room first. #
• Be better if I am asleep when she gets here & she’s asleep when I get up no matter how much want to talk about movie. We’d talk too much. #
• But given the circumstances it’d also be weird, no matter how good natured cheering section I’m being about them between emotional tides. #
• Sleep? Also conflicts with inexplicably needing to pee 3 times in past 1.5 hrs. Speaking of fluid balance, scale currently saying 235-238. #
• That’s what I like to see, a sign that the silly body means the 238 and may cooperate in going below it. #
• Ooh. Just downloaded first file of any size since speed upgrade to 10 mb. It may as well have been a 1k text file, took no time at all. #
• Getting sleepy at least. Think I’m nervous about her getting home, despite trusting her to cept by accident, despite my failsafe arrangement #
• Plus I’d stay out until last minute too, especially under right circumstances. Just hope this isn’t when his nice Jeep has fit of entropy.. #
• Cars will do that sort of thing. #
• An hour to sleep. Feeling it now. Yay white noise! Still need new pseudonym. #
• Bladder vs Sleep: the grudge match. #
• Hope pensive exhausrion aroun corner from sleep is enough. #
• Can feel now why I may have woken & been out of sorts. If she does get home, may wish she hadn’t & kept me here w/easy bathroom access. #
• Can’t afford to lose the $, but it’d be convenient & I already made sure if I had to be out for date going too long I’d not get written up. #
• Two of those and you’re fired. #
• A bit surprised she’s pushing timing to last minute, though. That’s a bit cruel. #
• Modern technology again. Texted she’s on her way. #
• If I hurry, I’ll be on time! #
• Another almost 3.5. Yay payday almost 18 hrs & next week won’t be a tiny one either. #
• Gotta get home, field kids. Initially if needed, shower shave errands. Then focus on laptop first. #
• This morning wants to be 235 but have to call it 236, new low, down 72 total! #

• If Deb is going to look at my tweets anyway after unfollowing, perhaps I shouldn’t get too unrestrained. #
• I think a lot at work. Not as good for that as delivering papers was, but not bad. And delivering papers was almost like waking dreams. #
• Flights of the fantastic, wild imaginings, stuff of stories. #
• Realized I have a trait I’d not credited: commitment to a fault. Loyalty, maybe, but not sure that’s the right nuance. #
• Yep, I’ve given my all to the San Andreas. #
• I sing along with Jim Morrison much better than with Dusty Springfield. Fairly close voice, for that matter. #
• Zzzzzz… #
• Ended up too late to go to bank, which’ll make tomorrow interesting with work, home, shower, bank, landlord, client, home. Store? No idea. #
• That is, today was a moderately big shopping run after bank. Not anymore. Have about enough time for over due shower/shave before Deb goes. #
• For the record, Deb’s boyfriend is NOT a cause of probs between us. More a result, if any relation at all. While I am at times bothered #
• I have actually encouraged it #
• That just didn’t stop me from stuff like being sad he had restaurant food w/all 3 kids before I ever did. It happens. #
• Sometimes I can’t finish a tweet, or a set of them, uninterrupted. No wonder I can’t write. #
• RE the commitment thing, the big client & biz dragged on years extra bc I would not leave out of obligation to project & ppl involved. #
• But I was unhappy and felt trapped at the same time. #
• Smoke from downstairs in my room is pissing me off & making me sick. So stale/cheap it smells like cigars not cigarettes. #
• Used to challenge other Libertarians as to whether the involuntary sickening smoke scenario was “harm” imposed on me, as I considered it. #
• Right. Kicked Henry off my lap as he was obnoxious. Forgot I was in midst of non-smoke tweets. Stuffing of head all I can think of now. #
• RE commitment thing it never in my wildest dreams occurred to me ever to end my marriage. It was forever, period. We’re liberal & read #
• enough Heinlein to have been flexible, be it freebies or line marriage or what. But ending it? I was there for good once I was married. #
• Have to stop bc kids continue the thoughts later. #
• Measured stuff. Moving actual bed into “office” will require getting rid of half my stuff, having to restrict what goes in closet. #
• Bed & 2 bookcases will take half the room. File cabinets, printer & scanner no room, creativity might allow 2 computers. #
• We’re all going to go get Henry his first haircut Wednesday, if nothing prevents it, then Deb gets to be there & girls get outing. #
• I need mine done & would take him but would need someone to watch him while I am in barber chair. That’s my day out on her day off, works. #
• I could go longer, but I sleep, throw on clothes, go to work, sweat. Shorter hair works better for that, and close enough anyway. #
• When we drove CA to MA to move her here, I was so shell shocked by what I call “the crazy” that I wondered, then steeled myself, committed. #
• henry is sad. again. wtf ovah? #
• Figured morning sickness storm would only last so long, after all, but that was probably where I started a tendency simply to go along. #
• Natural for me anyway. I almost never said no, pressed back, failed to cave in to more subtle pressures like woe is me variety. #
• Since she was pregnant & getting job was silly, I was unexpectedly but not impossibly sole earner. Expected almost muse-like encouragement. #
• Long to short, she was unhappy home, I was unhappy to be persuaded to be home increasingly to take load there, sate envy, whatever. #
• I thought she’d see/know I had to do my part, can’t believe I juggled money well enough to keep things going after I’d barely supported me. #
• I wouldn’t push back, so the more dismayed I got, the more I just gave up, didn’t even try. Thought it’d be inherently clear. #
• That led straight to going out of business. Person at client I discussed home stuff with wondered how I’d keep biz going, unsurprised now. #
• That was 2005 maybe 2006. #
• Once I dug in stubbornly in a direction, I had trouble changing, obviously. Yet never once thought “this isn’t working” or to end marriage. #
• @sharone75 My new profile pic was taken in 2003 with my dad’s ancient camera in my bathroom in Quincy, one I sent Deb to show my appearance. #
• @sharone75 Was probably 15 lbs or so heavier in that pic than now. Heck, my fingers oddly seem almost like when I was 200-ish, so thin. #
• So never mind panic at appropriate time to get any job keep us housed etc. Ought have been panic at marriage fail making me fix it way back. #
• Not leave it, but avert doom in all areas. I was an idiot, but there’s psychological baggage/aspie tendencies for you. #
• I suppose I have to open door, soothe Henry, see if girls want something, etc. As Deb says, I wanted kids! #
• Napped a little with baby. Freezing now! Late starting supper. Which not sure I should eat, seem to be very tummy sick. #
• Ugh. Should not have slept any. Especially so badly, not having closed door & girls trying best to keep us wakeful. Mostly wanna barf now. #
• Tempted to kill my string of explanatory tweets that say too much w/o being complete. Really simplifies, compresses, etc. Back to stove! #
• Apparently my turn to *really* have stomach thing. Smell of rice made me almost barf. Feel like that’d be relief. On empty stomach? #
• Impressed Deb offering to come home if needed. Happened to text asking how things were going right after it hit bad. #
• Don’t think I can eat, yet feeling shaky like sugar crash. How contradictory. #
• Back to stove! Trying to tough it out, but go to bed ASAP. 2.5 hrs sleep last night on top of deficit can’t be helping. #

• Miss white noise for sleeping. Can hear Deb talking to Mike on phone 2 rooms away from bed. #
• Was sad to realize I’ve never gone out to eat sit-down even for fast food with all 3 of my kids at once. #
• We’ve gotten to where we have the money I used to make with business, so ore things are possible like that, but it wasn’t enough even then. #
• Suppose I should lay back down even though Henry is out, as I am 1.5 hrs late to sleep & been awake over 20 hrs already. #
• Just apparently not so sleepy I can go under w/o white noise or no sounds at all. Which is silly, cuz hello. ready to drop! #
• Bedtime for all good kittensnails. #
• Oh it’s crying time again, because she’ Valerie. You can see betime looming, right away. #
• A reason to cry? She needs a reason? Naw. #
• Do I try to fall asleep for an hour more after minor kid cleanup? Probably, since overpowering urge to lay on floor right here. #
• Twitter time must be off as X hours ago says 1 hour longer than tweets actually were. Looked to see how mean/cranky I sounded. #
• Well, it was maybe 40 minutes more sleep, enough to be out of wrong spot in cycle. #
• In Watchmen John takes men are from Mars to a whole new level, revisiting the associations I was making watching the movie. #
• Suspect there’s no way to keep this AM from sucking. Then again I often come to life at work. #
• Speaking of which, was thinking about me & the people factor at work counter to my alleged introversion. #
• Which is along the same lines as Deb’s experiences that make retail oddly better than it seems it ought to be. #
• It’s always funny to see left coast ppl tweeting now, then realize they’re merely up a *little* late. *Waves* @Ithildyn @caltechgirl #
• @Ithildyn Saw him in Montreal at Con*Cept approaching 10 years ago. He was great! #
• I rock. I love even a stupid job fit into my availability that appreciates me, makes me feel real an confident. #
• And fast an capable and more than worth what it pays. Love it. All that’s missing I’d more people interacton & pay. #
• Anyway, that was almost 3.5 hrs and had a 53′ again. Did I mention my managers are cool? Damn its part timeness. #
• Heh. Fell asleep enough not to notice Henry get off my lap and toddle away. Trying to ensure Deb sleeps before she cracks. #
• @pixxiespaz Deb’s pretty cool and I love her too. Not sure about the young soul, versus just being young as she is. #
• @pixxiespaz Ah, you’ve seen the movie. Or read the comic. #
• @Shurakai Nothing since last time I tweeted what Mom said. Or did I tweet that? #
• @Shurakai LifeCare W B’wat, needs to see surgeon still, private rm, got hallucinations from pain drug, stepped down to lower dose=better. #
• @Shurakai That was Saturday, so may be news since then but doubt it. She was OK & in holding pattern, basically. #
• Oh goodness, look at my wrist! Where has the day gone? #
• Although Deb stopped following me, so doing Dr. Horrible references for her benefit doesn’t work here. #
• By not following, she figures I can vent & she doesn’t have to see it. Which would also be accomplished by a new personal blog. #
• Which will be like anarchy… that I run. Or at least vastly more like my original 2003 blog and self. #
• So in theory all the “tweet.& deletes” I’ve done that are *actually* snarky or what I *really* think could be left intact. #
• Apparently I was so good at cash flow management she had no idea our actual situation (plus luck & extra $ at key times) while I was freaked #
• Anyway, need to figure out what to do with today out of weeks worth of urgent options. #
• Boss is cool bc I was able to tell him there was tiny but non-zero chance wife wouldn’t be home in time for me to get to work & I’d not #
• know soon enough ahead to call in over 2 hours before, got OK if late/out happens, didn’t have to explain it’s bc she’s on a date. #
• Henry is on lap, rapt at string of Guess Who videos on YouTube. Started w/No Time as it’s currently appropriate, it kept playing others. #
• Argh #
• Liked my knee as it was. Crayon of all things took leg from under me in kitchen, kind of a slow split, ankle & knee twist. Holy F! My knee. #
• That does narrow my do list options, since I’m not standing again right away. #
• I either need more friends I am close with or the mystical dating thing so in between weirdness Deb isn’t stuck being Meg Ryan, that is #
• first person and last person I want to talk to each day sort of thing. So she’s with Mike & I can’t wait to hear what she thinks of Watchmen #
• Yesterday was thinking I’d want to do the Rob Gordon routine, where he sought out 5 old flames to see where he went wrong in High Fidelity. #
• But… there aren’t 5 that I ever dated. A problem. #
• Hard to write a post & potentially work on a blog while kid cries pathetically at you. #
• Argh #
• @sharone75 Argh, indeed! #

• What’s Your Word? - http://tinyurl.com/a4szso - Your Word is “Think” #blogthings #
• @sharone75 Went looking at @blogthings in case I’d missed any lately, as Henry was on me & couldn’t do anything. #
• Hate hate hate being interrupted. Forgot what I was in middle of there. Also? Minimal list for today still has prob several hours of stuff. #
• Blogblivion post finally done. Yay! Even did some typing with Allergy Boy on my lap. Next to bury it under some quiz results! #
• Always amuses me to run across reference to Havelock Ellis when reading something online. #
• Wonder which kid produced the puke puddle I just cleaned up. Girls both asleep! Think all 3 not full over or renewed the minor bug they had. #
• baby back on lap. Not sure puker wasn’t him. He’s out of sorts enough #
• Fascinating: http://tinyurl.com/urrtn Seen before, forgot there was specific definition. Was me pre-Deb. And still really. #
• Wikisurfing is a good activity when anchored to chair by baby. #
• Val woke, no interest in supper, meowed when asked if she’d thrown up. Distracted Henry off me. He was bonking her on the head with a cup. #
• Safe to say a stomach illness unrelated to a specific food has bloomer here. Joy. #
