Drug-Resistant Ear Infections

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

DD now has an infection in both ears. We're taking her to the doctor to get new antibiotics. Turns out there is an antibiotic-resistant ear infection going around here, so that's probably what she has. Luckily, she isn't in too much pain.

Went to HEB yesterday with the hubby. I did pretty well, but needed an ice pack once we got home. The girls who had surgery the same time as me on the HysterSisters message board, where I've lurked for a couple of months, are in varying states of recovery. Most of them had laparascopic surgery, which is a much faster recovery, but several had abdominal incisions, too. Enough of them are where I am now, that I'm comfortable that I'm on track. Whew!

Saturday Six

1. If you were to count to three on your fingers, would you hold up your thumb, index and middle finger, or your index, middle and ring finger?
Index, middle and ring.

2. What was the last thing you remember counting in your home?
Five of everything when I put together DD's lunches for this week. (I put everything together in bags, and just add the sandwich each day!)

3. When you are listening to someone who uses repetitious phrases when speaking, such as, “you know,” how many of them do you generally need to hear before you begin subconsciously counting the occurrences?
What's up with this? LOL. I've never been compelled to count such a thing. I may eventually feel as though the person as said something "a gajillion" times. I'm prone to exaggeration and the use of made-up words.

4. Take the quiz: What is your expression number?
Your Expression Number is 9
An idealist and humanitarian, you strive to make the world a better place.
You do your best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion.
Deep down, you dream of being loved by many.
You are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others.
While you are very ambitious, you never lose sight of perspective.
You have an abundance of creative talents... you just need to tap into them.
Although you are a giving person, you can become selfish if you are ignored.
If you are not able to help people, you tend to shelf your talents.
Without others, you become aloof and start to lack sensitivity.


5. You’re calling a friend on the telephone and he’s not home: assuming he didn’t have voicemail, do you actually count how many rings go by or do you just hang up after a time you feel is sufficient for him to answer?
Ahaha. This is a little like #3. I just hang up after a time.

6. You go out to eat and you order a plate of twelve chicken wings. Do you actually count them before eating?
Not unless I'm splitting with someone.

Caught Up

Finally caught up on all my personal and business email! Whee! Spam is a plague. Even Yahoo can't catch it all the time anymore.

One of the cast members of Friday Night Lights was on Letterman last night. She talked a lot about Austin, which was cool. Am I the only one who didn't know we're calling Leslie "The Mayor" these days? LOL. I love it.

I see that South Congress is quickly becoming the new little social hub down South. There is a new condo development and now they're building these "pedestrian islands" on the street. The condo/retail development thing near Ben White is called SoCo- how chic is that?!

There's a new Babe on All My Children. Last week, the old Babe hugged Crystal, and when they separated, another actress was playing Babe. Very strange.

I still haven't been anywhere other than the doctor. Today, I'll accompany DH to the grocery store. Woohoo!

48 Hours

Saturday, October 13, 2007

Watching 48 Hours. It's about the current crime problems in New Orleans. So frustrating to watch. I can't imagine how terrifying it must be for people who live there.

Again, there is so much potential for leaders to come out and turn things around. Hopefully someone will. Where is the Mayor? The DA keeps failing to file charges against people. What's up with that? Why are people just taking it? It's like the Wild West out there. And now witnesses are even more afraid to testify because no one ever goes to jail.

They did show a recent march on City Hall, with hundreds of angry residents asking where the city is in all this. Mayor Nagin tells them the city will do better. When?

Greetings from the couch

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Still on the laptop here. I'm watching Andy sing "Take a Chance on Me" to Angela with his acapella buddies on The Office. AHAHAA. And awwwwwwww...

I think I've now seen every episode of every show on HGTV. I did help DD make a tshirt for a school thing tomorrow, so I was up quite a bit today.

My hair is very curly, because the flat iron would take too long and I'm not seeing anyone anyway. All my "get well" flowers are still pretty and blooming. I wrote thank you notes today, too.

So all is well, and I'm hoping I've taken my last narcotics. *crossing fingers*

Hello, world.

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

It's me! I am finally on little enough pain meds to type, and direct myself to a website.

Surgery went perfectly. Came home Saturday. I'm now on alternating Darvocet and Motrin. Other than expected pain, everything else is good.

DD was elected President of her school Band. How cool is that?!

DH got his L3 rocketry certification! I saw the video today.

Wayne Newton just got voted off Dancing? Wha? lol. Now they're playing"Had a Bad Day." That reminds me that I need to watch the new American Idol show with the bands. Should be good.

Well, I ramble enough sober, so I'll spare you my trailing thoughts while I watch Boston Legal on pain meds.

Ta!

Speaking of Donny & Marie...

Tuesday, October 2, 2007

As a kid (according to Wikipedia, I was 9-12), I used to dutifully tape "Donny & Marie" each week on audio cassette. My friends and I would then listen to and sing along with the show through the week.

I particularly remember the week Andy Gibb was on. We were all totally in love with him. It was the coolest Donny and Marie week EVER.

Hee hee. I wish I had kept all those tapes!

iPod Touch and stuff

The iPod is way cool. Basically an iPhone without the phone.

Commercial on the radio today: "Wouldn't it be great if you no longer had to shave your rocks?" Actually she said, "...had to shave or wax?" but I didn't hear that at all.

I've been checked out by all my doctors, had lab work out the wazoo, some of it twice. I'm in perfect health. Thank you very much. Surgery on Thursday!

DD is first chair in band again.

I like Rascal Flatts a lot, but I'm not getting into the new album.

DH is back from a long trip to Nevada, where he went to a national rocket launch and became a master rocketeer with his latest certification.

Last weekend at the high school football game, some high school guy surrounded by a big group of his friends was trying to pick a fight with someone, and Kim (another band mom) went right over and told him to stop. When he didn't, she got the policeman and the guy was escorted out of the stadium. Go Kim!! I was just standing there waiting to duck and cover.

Tomorrow I'm going to clean my house from top to bottom, and give myself a pedicure, since I won't be able to do either for a while.
