Rambling 48

Just finished watching my Sox defeat the Yankees. So sweet. Lester pitched good.

I was hoping to do some soul searching today but I am wicked cranky. It took me forever to get to my Starbucks today because I didn’t look at the bus schedule and had to wait almost 45 minutes for the next bus because I missed the one I thought was at 10:40. There is no longer a 10:40 bus on Saturday! OOPS. I then walked down College Ave, which is probably like 1/8th of a mile to reach the next bus stop. I made it there in plenty of time to catch the 12:30 bus back home. There was a lot of traffic on Broadway today so bus was kind of late. More waiting around and of course I was standing for most of it. My ankle just “loves” me right now (being wicked sarcastic here). I came home to listen to the ball game but wanted to watch it instead so made the trip down the stairs and tried to put my feet up the best I could. It wasn’t easy as the announcers on FOX suck and I kept on getting aggravated.

It is cool today so I have the ceiling fan off for the first time all summer. I am feeling low despite the win today. I don’t know why. Probably because I have cramps and I know I am going to be hurting later today, possibly. I never know I did too much until later in the evening when I want to settle down and go to sleep. Seems like nerve pain always waits until then to bother you.

I am having trouble remembering what I did with a book I need to write about Aeschi model. I want to read a little of it but can’t fricken remember which bag I last had it in and I am too tired to go perusing. I guess I could just go to the Aeschi website and read from there as a last resort.

This morning on twitter Mayo Clinic had a suicide chat talk. I missed it because I didn’t get up till after it was over, which is too bad because I was very interested to see what Dr. Tim Lineberry had to say. He was one of the docs that has worked with David Jobes in using the SSF (suicide status form) on inpatient units. I met him last year at the annual conference for the AAS. He is an ok guy. He was one of the moderators for the Aeschi workshop I attended. But you could tell, suicide was not his favorite type of subject. It is just an occupational hazard, least that is my impression of him. I think the transcript is online somewhere and I might just check it out.

I have told my writing partner that I am just going to take Saturdays off from writing because there are too many games to watch. I have my college football games and my baseball to watch. I didn’t see too much of the Nebraska game but the parts I did see were ugly. UCLA came back after having a 21-3 deficit. Nebraska lost 41-21, much to my chagrin. They wore awful home jerseys so I am blaming the jerseys.

The flux in temperature this week has my back in agony. Between the thunderstorms and the drop in temp, I am hurting. It has been a long time since I have had back pain from the weather so I know this can’t be good. I really hate having back pain because it limits me more than my ankle pain. Right now it is just aching and I hope it stays that way. Last thing I need is for it to go out on me and me being really laid up.

Since my new laptop has been shipped back to Dell, I haven’t been playing my Facebook game too much. My old laptop just can’t handle the graphics to well and is very slow in trying to run. I am so bummed. I have played this game every day, couple times a day and to go from that to minimal play is killing me. I am so going to get behind on my missions. I still try to get the stuff I need from other players but they have new stuff and I know it is from new missions that I just can’t access right now. I am frustrated. My concentration has been kind of on the low side of things so I haven’t read anything in the Lincoln book in the last two weeks. I am up to page 566 and still have at least two hundred more pages to go to finish it. I just can’t bring myself to actually read and that is more frustrating to me than anything. I hate leaving a book in the middle.

I tried to watch the season finale of Bones today but after the baseball game, I was wiped and couldn’t sit anymore. I got restless and had to get up. I can only watch so much TV before I get bored. I really need a nap.
