Not much going on here right now. I had my scope and biopsy last week and next week I’ll go in to see if I have Eosinophilic Espohagitis or just really bad GERD. I’m sort of hoping I have EE as I’d really like to drink coffee and eat tomato sauce and garlic again. I REALLY WANT SOME COFFEE!
WoW is alternating between boring me to death and frustrating me enough to want to quit.
My brother-in-law, of whom I’ve written of in the past, has landed in jail again for forging someone’s name on important paperwork pertaining to his parole. Sometimes I wonder how Eloric can be related to someone that horribly dim.
Other than that, I’ve decided to take up Nordic Walking. Now if I can just get the poles…

Well, at the risk of people thinking we’re douchebags, I thought I’d mention that we have kittens. Thurien is still missing and we needed something to distract ourselves from remembering that he is gone. The lady down the street does not have him. I’m just going to presume that we’ve lost him for good. It does no good to keep calling out the front door every night. The signs we put up were of no help. The neighbors have not seen him. We’ve not found his body or remains anywhere. He’s just gone. Like he never existed. It’s better to believe him dead than suffering somewhere. I hope it was quick and that he did not suffer. It kills me that he’s gone but I’m still fragile after Dad and so many relatives dying that I just don’t want to have to think about another death this soon.

I suppose I could explain where I’ve been. That’s going to take a lot of room and I can’t say with confidence that I totally remember everything that has happened since the last entry here. There was just so much trainwreckery and asshattedness that I tried to block a lot of it out.
It’s Tuesday. The servers are down and I am supposed to be mopping the kitchen today. I don’t particularly want to mop the kitchen but someone has to and it’s best to get it done on a day like today and around all lingering health problems. I may dab at it on and off while I write here. I need to go make a bucket of mopwater though.

Yanno, I had completely forgotten how cool Pandora is. I had stopped listening to it probably two years ago when I believed I caught a virus from it. I’m not really sure if that was true but I was reading another priest blog this morning and they mentioned it, so I decided I would give it another go. So I am listening to David Gray radio. Of course. Of course. I remember using Pandora to find a lot of new music back in the day… not that I remember what that music was… but I know I found some and it spured me into new directions.
I’ve been hanging out and listening to a lot of mantras lately. I’ve come to appreciate Krishna Das more. He has the most amazing voice.
Pants has taken to his inhaler remarkably well. He doesn’t run when I come to get him and only backs up just a bit when I put the mask over his muzzle. I’m really proud of him for being such a trooper and I’m very glad that he is doing better. Of course he is still coming off his injected steroid but I am hoping we can keep him on his current dosage schedule. I had to take apart his inhalation chamber and his inhaler tonight and wash them per the instructions given to me by the vet. This is rather difficult as I’ve been rather lazy lately and my IC has been playing up far too much, so there aren’t many available horizontal spaces that are suitable for drying medical equipment on. (Read- I am currently a very slovenly house-keeper).
In WoW our 10-man cleared Ulduar last week. No hardmodes- but it was server first Horde-side. So now I get to feel leet. Or something.
And so um. My bladder has been hateful to me this week and Joseph has called here entirely too much. Joseph has tried to get some odd information out of us in the past but how he wants us to tell him how to raise chickens and how to lay in a garden. After the great rabbit death of ’90-something due to his stupidity, I am not enabling him in the chicken apocalypse of 2009. As for a garden, I hear if you till up your yard and take the time to read seed packets and aren’t entirely brain-dead, vegetables will happen. Not that I told him that or anything else. It would give him another excuse to call back. He would think we actually want to hear from him. Can’t have him fooling himself like that.

I don’t have much to post but I want to make an entry… so I shall.
Wednesday I started back on the versaclimber. I am a bit proud of myself that I could start at 12 1/2 minutes this year versus the 8 minutes that I started at last year. So I’ll be trying to do it every day until I hit around 22 minutes and then 5 days a week up to 30 minutes until it gets too cold to work out in the breezeway. Strangely, I had been looking forward to this all winter. I had found that it is a good way to meditate and to calm myself down when I started thinking too much about what happened to Dad.
I haven’t written anything since I patted myself on the back a while ago. I suppose I shouldn’t do that as it seems to kill my muse *heh*
Still deciding whether I want to switch my main or not. Another lesser-geared moonkin applied to the guild in the last day or so and was accepted. I know her and I’m not too keen on her as she had elbowed me out of my place in the group we run with- even if I were to take my resto shaman. I’ve lost out on going along with friends a few times now because they simply have to bring her and I’d be lying to say that it did not hurt my feelings. I cannot see myself healthfully competing with her, honestly. Confronted with someone of the same spec, I tend to go for blood. Since I don’t much like her at this point, this will be much worse. And as the class leader, I have the ability to make her life hard, if I choose- which is really no position for me to be in with the current way I feel toward her. Knowing myself as I do, this is not a healthful situation and it is setting me up to explode. Truly, it would be better if she were some random ‘kin, rather than someone I have a history with.
This is really pushing me towards my shaman. I dunno.

I finally visited Mother last week. It just all finally got to me and I felt so guilty that I went over there. The polite fiction that she never hurt me or acted like a jerk is again firmly in place. Time has worn the edges off the pain of it but still, there was another layer of disappointment added to the things that have built up ever since I realised (very long ago) that, while she can handle others’ feelings and shortcomings, she will never truly be able to handle or understand mine. Random Deity, this sounds sort of like what I was writing back in 2005 when Ida went apeshit on me. The more things change, the more they really stay the same, random proverb *choke*
Oh, and I just noticed that Dad’s birthday is tomorrow. Good mood gone.

Well, I have an idea of how I borked my fanlists so I am probably going to be keeping them. Probably. I just need to post on a forum and ask if there is any way I have borked the fanlists that I am unaware of.
It has been very spring-like here both yesterday and today. Sort of warmish and breezy but with all the cloud-cover of the last bit of winter. We went for a walk yesterday and I found out something from a friend of the family that at first pissed me off, then depressed me, and now I am just sort of depressed and going- well, I should have known it would be like this.

Yeah, yeah, grats me on 6 months ago. I’ve an Amani Bear mount.
Still plugging away at the weight loss. Got into some pants that were depression-causing three months ago.
That’s about it for the news. Nothing really going on here except that my apico failed and I had to have the tooth pulled last week. I’m sure everyone remembers Dental Disaster ’08. So now I have this one tooth denture to wear until the wound heals. I don’t like wearing it. It makes food have less taste, tears up the roof of my mouth, and makes me talk oddly.
Uh, I might give NaNo a go this year but, naturally, the WoTLK expansion is slated to drop two weeks in. And let’s face it- I’m still enough of a case to prefer being entertained to creating entertainment for others.
