doc_destructoI suppose I should update this thing since there's actually been quite a bit happenin' 'round heyah.
First, it appears that I am afflicted with, what those in my part of the world choose to call, The Sugar. What this actually means is that I have high blood sugar and am teetering on the verge of Type-2 Diabetes. Thank you, genetics, office job, and ye ol' gut. Thus I've been given my own personal mandate of be fucking healthier or lose my feet. Even though my feet feel perfectly fine and feety,ne_today insists that they'll be amputated if I so much as sniff a cookie much less ingest it. So far, with some lean eating, minor medication (which I'm hoping can be eliminated if only for a brief period since my doctor has vowed that I will be on meds at some point in my life) and much stabbing of myself, my blood sugar has dropped on average by a considerable amount. I am hoping my increased attendance at the YMCA walking/running track can knock it down a little more.
The magic number is 100, people, so it's not an impossible goal.
Second, I actually managed to finish the comic strips for The Anti-Craft bookne_today and zabasity are working on, so, OMGWTF! I may actually be a creditably published cartoonist n the future. Maybe. I imagine I'll be the first thing to be cut should there be space or content issues, so I'll remain cautiously optimistic for now. Still, it's a way cool feeling.
Third, Little Dude is apparently meeting his speech, language and occupational therapy goals in a stellar manner. He knows his colors, his alphabet, can count to 29 and actually acknowledges other kids enough to play with them. Which is totally awesome since it means the odds of him being autistic have gone down considerably. And with adding potential diabetes to the arteriosis, pyloric stenosis, deafness, and hyposensitvity vestibular dysfunction the poor guy needs every leg up he can get. Although it doesn't explain why he cames back from second pre-school looking like William Wallace before a battle. Seriously, the kid was almost smurf-like earlier!
Fourth, I recently cannibalized my little Goodwill HP PC to repair and tweak my mom's PC after it just stopped talking to the internet. NIC was good, cables and modems were good, it just didn't want to talk. So, instead of hunting down the solution, I formatted the sucker and reinstalled win2k along with more RAM and HDD space. It works now and faster than before! HAHA! I also finally acknowledged that my old Netgear wireless router was dying and replaced it. Then I replaced THAT piece of crap with a Linksys wireless router that has thus far not disappointed me.
And finally... wait, there is no finally. No, wait! Went and saw 300 with the Wif on Friday. It was the most blatantly manly, testosterone-spewing film in the history of Awesome.
