Once when I was was about 12 and spent weeks on end at the beach, I went swimming with a friend at sunset. We were alone in the water and the beach was pretty much deserted. The pink light of sunset danced off the water and the ocean felt big. My grandma used to call [...]

Trying to stay focused and am grateful for the work but posting medical presentations that include words my spell checker can’t comprehend, like “percutaneous microdecompressive endoscopic spinal discectomy” is making doing something else increasingly appetizing. It’s hard to sit still after a weekend of being outdoors in the sun. The weather is so beautiful, [...]

OK here’s the conversation Jerry and I had yesterday:
Me: Hi Jerry wanna come out and play?
Jerry: Sure! lets eat some hay!
Me: Sorry buddy we’re going to work on your circling first.
Jerry: Sigh
Me: OK, lets see if you can trot for three circles counter clockwise while I just stand here.
Jerry: Trots for 1 and a half [...]

I’m doing anything but starting work this morning, trying to distract myself with ebay surfing, audio book browsing, etc. I don’t want to think about working and sitting here all day with sore muscles from a fun horseback ride and hours of gardening this weekend. I was burnt out by Sunday and starting to drag, [...]

I got to go for a ride today on Monty, a friend of the stable owners, horse. It was a beautiful ride through the pines. Weather was absolutely perfect. Today I’m going to get some more gardening done. I bought strawberries and a tomato plant and got those in the ground yesterday. It’s still freezing [...]

I worked in the yard for over five hours yesterday, trimming roses, weeding, tilling soil, setting up drip and planting seeds. I planted corn, jalepenos, parsley and marigolds. I’m surprised I can walk today, but it’s not too bad. Paul got the back yard sprinklers fixed and I only have to replace a few drip [...]

It’s been a crazy week. My Grandma, Linda has been in the hospital since last week and not doing well. I’m trying to help her find some live in help for when she goes home. Works been good I’m just trying to stay focused enough to get some of it done though. I’m easily distracted. [...]

I’m playing catchup on my photo album. I haven’t updated it since last year! So now here’s the end of 2007. I’ll get more up later, but it’s too beautiful a day to stay in front of the computer. I’m so glad it’s Saturday. I need to finish trimming the fruit trees, the roses and [...]
Buried in an avalanche

I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. I have so much work right now it’s overwhelming and I’m getting very grumpy. For the last two weeks I’ve had allergies which make me grumpy, tired and feel like I’m coming down with the flu. It’s also gray out today.
Ok I’m done whining.
