The high temperature today - 59° . In January. In Chicago. Ooooooo... Mother Nature is messin' with us...
So, went to my parents for dinner with Diane and the dogs. Guess I'm taking my parents back to Loyola Medical Center on Wednesday. Dad's going to have some kind of CT assisted biopsy - I think they use the CT for correct positioning of the needle to extract the correct tissue for sampling. Brought a CD over for Diane that I had burned of all of the family pictures that I've been scanning out of Mom's archives. Still have that problem with those satin-finish photos... produces a series of dots for each ridge on the image... I wish I knew how to get them cleaned up...
Came home and found out that our little bunners Indy had chewed a hole in our carpet in the family room about the size of a silver dollar. That little brat! Now I have a hole of just carpet backing - no nap. Great. We REALLY needed new carpeting, and we would have done it - if I was still employed. Like so many other things, we've had to put off some of the things we wanted to do...
Oooooo... this looks like it's going to be a nice day outside...
Major problem, though... you see, Mother Nature has a tendency of "evening things out"... which means that all hell will break loose later in the week (probably snow and cold).
Interesting... I had Mexican food last night and my stomach's fine. No GERD in 15 days... wonder what that means... I'm eating healthier? or at least am eating things that aren't acidy? or maybe my stress level has gone done? nah... can't be that... where's the hell's my job?!?! Oh, maybe it's... 5'3" 204 pounds... 'nuff said...
