The thoughts that float through my head when I remember to jot them down. An insight into the madness that is me.

Waiting on the cable company to show up 'between 8 and 12'. The cable modem spent most of the day yesterday rebooting every few minutes making it quite hard to do much of anything on the internet. Gave em a call and worked with them to get someone out here to check stuff out. The guy did say it looked like my signal was really week. House is a year old and I've done nothing to it so the recent slight snow musta worked it's way in somewhere.
Other than that, once they're here and gone I'd like to get to The Two Towers over at the AMC 30 in Olatthe. Pretty exciting life I lead. Wheee.

Well I went off the pain medication (ran out) and it went OK pain wise, but I could feel the scabs/something on the back of my throat and it was causing me to randomly gag throughout the day. that was really pleasant.
So we called the emergency (aka after 5pm, it was 5:30pm) line and got a small prescription of the codene. This stuff must do something for someone because the Doctor wasn't really familiar with my case and was hesitant to give me any. I don't know what it does. It makes me almost puke every time I take it and I feel no different other than the pain is slightly reduced and all. Not sure what someone would get out of this. I'll have to ask the doctor on my next checkup visit.
Angi did surprise me a bit on Christmas with another gift. She got me a Game Boy Advanced. I wasn't really wanting one, and not sure what I'm going to do with it unfortunately. I'd not gotten one because of the screen being so dang dim and all. But she tries so hard to get me nice things that I really don't want to disappoint her. The first year she and I were together she really surprised me with a gift certificate for an hour in the air flying. That was the best gift she ever got me. But unfortunately she's felt she's not topped herslef since (I don't help either, because I raved so much about that gift). It was nothing I'd asked for but she knew I liked to fly (have my pilot's license) and I'd not flown for over six or seven years.
Other than that got some fun things here and there. Got a little LEGO Racer, a LEGO Pen, a Gamecube Godzilla game, and a Episode II LEGO Set. Got a nice Astronomy book from Angi's sister and a Atlas from Angi. That atlas was intersting as well. Don't know what gave her that idea but one can never have too many atlases.
I'd hoped to go to The Two Towers today. Mom had to work though and I know she really wants to see it. We may go tomorrow with or without her though. Watched the Fellowship Extended Edition today. The extra scenes really fleshed out the movie. unlike most others with 'extra footage' this really added to the story line.

Well christmas came and went. Food was great as usual. managed to eat some turkey without much pain but that is because Dad makes an amazing turkey breast on his Big Green Egg. I just wrapped it in gravy and swallowed, didn't hurt to bad. Mashed taters went down ok. had some hot chocolate when throat got sore.
Overall I think I'm going to make it.
Got my LEGO Star Destroyer (surprise, I only ordered it and had the wife wrap it) and a game for the game cube, some other legos from the family, and a shirt that says 'Go away or I shall replace you with a very small shell script'

Well, a week later and I had a hamburger soaked in gravy last night and didn't scream the whole time. It wasn't totally comfortable/back to normal but it's doable. So hopefully I'll get some turkey tomorrow.
Scaled back the pain meds a bit so they'll last over the holiday. Also just didn't like taking that much codene. Doing ok, just a minor annoyance at the moment so I'm drinkin some coffee to keep it warm and comfortable.
Christmas is tommorrow. I hope to take some nice family portrait pictures but as always I'm sure they'll look boring and forced. I hope I can keep my brother & sisters from yelling at the kids like they did on Monday while I was trying to get the two oldest picture in front of the tree. I don't want photos to be a stressful time in their young lives.

Well,l it's almost been a week since the tonsils and other stuff came out. Took the drugs this morning, made the revelation that the drugs might run out before/during christmas so trying to decide if I want to chance it and think I should be better (it'll be 8 days) or get some more. When I wake up to take the drugs four hours after the last bunch, it's not so bad. I mean it's tender and sore, but it's not the 'THE PAIN' (a la Spock from Star Trek episode 'Devil in the Dark') but it's not something that I want very often.
Debating going over to a photography store and picking up some flash/lighting stuff for pictures on Christmas day. I very much would like to get some studio-quality type pictures of every family and a big one. Who knows how it will work. I may decide not to spend the money, looks about $500 for another flash and some bounce accessories.
Trying to decide what I'll do this week. I really, really want to see The Two Towers but how I felt after that little trip to my parents house has me re-thinking what I want to do or not. Don't know if I can handle it just yet. Wondering though if I took less medicine would I feel better for things like that.

Well apparently being a passenger in a car while on my drugs is not A Good Thing (tm). I got rather nauseaus and spent almost three hours at my parents house recovering. Had to wait for the world to stop spinning so I could hang on. Then on the trip back, immediately laid out on the couch when I got home and slept for like 2 hours or so recovering from the trip back. Me thinks I'm staying inside for a while.
