Finally, it’s Saturday again. Unfortunately, I seem to have contracted some sort of a disease (or perhaps it’s just a continuation of what I had before), and I actually stayed home from work yesterday for the first time in longer than I can recall. I think this is some sort of sinus thing, because I feel pressure in my head, and every time I change position, my head starts swimming. Like, every time I rolled over in bed last night and the night before.
I got out of bed yesterday and almost hit the floor, and had to hang on for dear life while I took a shower. I thought after I got up and showered and had some coffee I’d feel better, but it soon became apparent that it would be unsafe for me to drive. So home I stayed. I really hope this goes away by Monday.
I was going to go to the SU football game today against Maryland, but that’s off the table now. Fortunately it’s on the teevee. There are high hopes, because if they happen to win today they’ll be 3-0 going into next Saturday night’s’ primetime game on ABC against Notre Dame. This would ordinarily foreshadow a loss today, so there’s a chance things could get ugly (at least at my house).
Well, I guess I better figure out how to get the grass cut. Either that, or go back to bed.
I hope feel better PJ. The onloy good thing about being sick is getting a day off.
By no means any endorsement of UMd.
Hope you’re on the mend, pj.
I just hope Mr. Fk doesn’t do OU Sooner road trips. Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium, Morgantown, West Virginia might be one war zone too many.
He stayed put, for once. They sound worse than the Dodger’s fans.
Speaking of the big bad Dodgers, this story is pretty heartwarming. They needed some good press after the horrific Bryan Stow incident.
Flannery posted this story on both of his FB presences.
Well, it looks like any team I remotely might be connected to or have friends with rooting interests in lost yesterday except for the big O’s. Even Columbia who I did not remember even had football. At least the Dodgers lost.
On a related note, Bryan Stow backer and SF Giants Third Base windmill sending ’em home is a pretty good guy.
PJ- hope you’re feeling better since Saturday.
We’re in your neck of the woods and it’s a cold drizzly day that
you should spend indoors.
Sad trip back east to bury my mother-in-law after her unexpected death.
80 isn’t really that old (I tell myself) and she was full of life and desire to live until
the last week or so. She underwent a procedure that we all supported
with our reassurances that it would improve her quality of life.
Dammit! Dammit!
Sorry to hear that Art. Yeah, 80 is too young. It’s kind of a cold, dark day here. Not a very auspicious way to kick off the fall.
Sorry, Art. We have all been through this stuff and it’s awful.
PJ, are you feeling better?
I was able to drive to work this morning, but it was a bit dicey from time to time. Seems that every time I move my head, I get a little dizzy. Didn’t help to have to drive through drizzly rain on the way in.
I’m thinking this is just how it’s gonna be from now on. Kind of like an all-day pass for the rides at the amusement park. No doubt I’ll get used to it eventually.
It is a little strange that I just saw a segment on MoJerk about aging which could have been meaningful except the Scar won’t ever shut up and conceal his arrogant stupidity.
Art, I am very sorry for your loss. If it was related to the procedure, you cannot blame yourself for trying to do the best you could to make her life as good as possible.
It seems like everyday I wake up to some tears and more through the day. Today I am sorry to shed them for you and yours as you have for me before.
A travesty. No mention of the People’s Climate March on The Today Show news headlines. 600K people and not a word !
I guess things haven’t been the same there since Mr. Boettcher left for greener pastures.
Hope that you are feeling better.
The wife was there yesterday. Perhaps we’ll get a report later today.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts.
The biggest regret for all the children is that they have dispersed
between both coasts and in between. By the time you’re thinking about
how much you love someone, the time and opportunity have passed you by.
