There are some things you just don’t want!

Over the last week I have been in the emergency room twice, once from home and once from work. The trip from work was via an ambulance. My chrones is giving me fits and really making life miserable. I’m not sure what exactly is going on, I will have to wait to see my gastro guy to find that out.

The ambulance ride was due to the fact that I had thrown up so hard and so long that I was unable to stand on my own. I was severely dehydrated and so weak that it was pathetic!

Hopefully this too will pass. I am trying to keep a positive attitude, which has been very difficult. This is about the longest that I have sat at my computer all week. It is just too uncomfortable to sit here and type.

On that note, I am going back to bed.

Peace!

Wow, why does it happen when I can’t chase?

I am trying to out type the next round of storms. That last round actually unnerved me. I wasn’t prepared for it and when the hammer fell, I wasn’t ready. I did manage to grab the watch spot at work. So I got to stand outside and watch the storm and make sure it was all clear before everyone went back to work. It did get pretty nasty, but when the sirens went off that caught me off guard. I usually have my radio with me when I expect severe weather, but I wasn’t expecting it tonight, boy was I wrong.
This is what it looks like right now!

Sing a song of…

March 10, 2008 · Posted in Life · 3 Comments 

Alright, imagine if you will, the most annoying thing you can think of.

Got it?

Now multiply the annoyance factor by 10.

Are you there?

You still aren’t even close to this!

I like to play a game sometimes. See when people get on my nerves, rather than ignore them I get even. So I play a game with them. I call it sing song. From the point I declare game on, I will take a word from everything they say and find a song with that word and start singing it to them. There is a goal and yes I can win the game. See, the game goes something like this:

coworker: Jeff, can you help me with this?

me: Help, I need somebody. Help, not just anybody.

coworker: Jeff, come here please.

me: Here I go again on my own, walking down the only road I’ve ever known.

Can you see how this works so far?

Here’s the goal line, the idea is to get them to tell me to shut up!

coworker: Shut up

me: Up up and away in my beautiful my beautiful balloon.

Oh the joy I get from this game. It may not seem like much now, but you should try it sometime. I guarantee you will enjoy it. Also, it keeps your mind sharp trying to think of a song as quickly as possible. Don’t worry about it when you get stuck, just make one up if you have to. Now get digging through your music collection and get ready to drive someone nuts!

Or not

Ok, I have nothing again. I had hoped to post something substantial tonight but I am beat. Work was trying to kill me and I am in need of some sleep.

In other news, it’s time to break out the ark again. It has been raining all day non stop and it looks like a river is running down my alley!

I am off tomorrow, well today now. My dad is having surgery on some skin cancer and my 11 year old has a choir concert tonight that I told her I would try and make it to. I haven’t told her I actually got the day off yet, thought I would surprise her when she gets out of school.

Alrighty then, I am off to bed!

God bless,
Jeff A

Coming in the air tonight

February 26, 2008 · Posted in Blog · 3 Comments 

Alright, Desi is getting over her strep and was able to go to school today. Tonight I was informed that Anna has it now. If you could see me, I am banging my head on my desk at the moment. I hate that this illness is being passed around our home. It is only a matter of time before Becky gets it, I hope she doesn’t. She will try and work through it and only make herself worse.

It is raining out right now. Well let’s go through the phases of weather so far this evening. Rain>Ice>Snow>Rain, it is supposed to go on all night, and turn to snow in the early am. At this point I am hoping it doesn’t. I just read in the local paper that they are having problems getting anymore salt for the roads. There seems to be a shortage and since they don’t stock up, they just buy it as they need it, we may be hosed if it get’s bad out. With all the rain we have had, all the pre-treatment has washed off and they do not have enough to do the town. They have about half what they really need. Super!

I hope that everyone is having an awesome day!

God bless,
Jeff A
