Here's a Grayson proof of life photo. He's really kicking up a fuss when we give him his morning meds, and he is getting into mischief.

I only made it to 1200 meters tonight, but it was mighty vigorous. The water was about 75 degrees. Yes, I used to swim in mud lakes in North Dakota that were colder than that, but that's pretty darn cold especially with the wind whipping.

Hey, if you have a skin allergy to something, like latex or adhesives, and you really really need to have that something against your skin, like a Band-aid, try spraying Flonase (the nasal spray) on the skin first and letting it dry.
The Flonase should keep your skin from reacting.

I've been waiting for 3 weeks for insurance to approve these infusions. The approval came today. They scheduled me for the first possible appointment which is right in the middle of the office Christmas party. I'm just devastated as you can imagine.

Happy Gotcha Day to Cricket the Cat! I don't remember the exact day, actually, but around this time last year I decided my heart couldn't take it if anything happened to her so I grabbed her off my back porch and now she lives with us. She is an oldster but she has settled into retirement just fine!

So lemme get this straight. Congress is asking people to sign up for health insurance at the new, much higher prices because those prices MIGHT go down AFTER the first of the year IF Congress can agree on a workable plan?
Seriously?

Second day in a row I am without chocolate at work because I forgot to toss the Hershey's Nuggets into my work bag. Oh, woe.
I wonder if there is a vending machine around here someplace.
