Work, and more work.

Wow, has it really been that long since I posted? I have been toying with the idea of removing the site, but couldn’t do it with some post about getting sick. I mostly got over the breathing stuff a few months ago. It still lingers a bit, but no big deal right now.

So I’ve been super busy. At work, we’ve been working to change our computing infrastructure, and I’ve been lucky enough to be an integral part of the decision and implementation process. It’s kind of nice, but at the same time I am too busy to do much of anything outside of work. With remote access, I’ve actually been working after hours from home quite a bit. I really need to find some time to relax, but now doesn’t seem to be the time.

Jess is gone back to Tally for a few days, so right now it’s just me and the doggies. At the vet the other day, Barkley topped the scales at 16 lbs, and Annabelle is up to 11 lbs. They are spoiled rotten puppies.

I doubt that I’ll keep the site up for much longer, as I hate posting about work, and that’s pretty much all I am up to these days. We’ll see.

That which does not kill you

I’ve been sick for almost two weeks now. I went to the doctor yesterday. After listening to my lungs and proclaiming “Oh dear!” several times, she said that I have asthmatic exacerbation and a sinus infection. After a steriod shot in the butt and a nebulizer treatment, she sent me home with prescriptions for an albuterol inhaler and antibiotics. She said that I would probably be prone to wheezing all winter long because of this.

Dr. Pepper advisory

I got news for you, pal. One of those 23 flavors you’d been gulping down for years is actually an antidote that your body quickly processes. This is to counteract another of the 23 flavors, which is a lethal toxin that stays in your system for months.

There are no “former dr. pepper drinkers.” At least, none that live for more than 8 weeks or so. You’re stuck, addicted. Just another soda slave paying for a carbonated “cure.” If you’re serious about quitting, and I doubt you are, I wish you the best of luck. Most go mad before the end. Others crack after just a few days, telling themselves “just one more case,” and not really believing it. Probably the best you can hope for is to die with dignity, instead of being gunned down after robbing a soda machine, like so many others.

Christmas 2008

I got my Christmas lights up this year.  Nothing too fancy, but I did get some cool Gemmy color changing leds. Here is a short video for your viewing pleasure.
