COVID-19 defeated!
It’s finally over! Until I contract it again! I can get out of the house without worrying about infecting Travis County and incurring the wrath of Dave Anthony. This round wasn’t as nasty as last year nor when I received … Continue reading
@#$*! I got Covid-19…encore ’24
I’m not posting a picture of the test, we all know what the ‘positive’ result looks like and it sucks! Plus, shouldn’t ‘positive’ be the good outcome along with one line? Then again, tech language from Science isn’t necessarily intuitive. … Continue reading
No substantive post: out sick
Crap! I was having a great weekend, celebrating 30 years in Austin with a new friend I made and another I enjoyed brunch with yesterday. Then I realized later today, I might have COVID-19 again. Double crap! If I’m still … Continue reading
Melbourne!
After the usual bout of procrastinating and cold weather, I made it to my latest destination by indoor bike, the Australian city of Melbourne! Putting my cumulative travel to over 8873 miles! Why Melbourne instead of Sydney, the more famous … Continue reading
Another nice weekday off!
It all worked out pretty well today after working on a Sunday. Had to see my doctor for the six-week check-in, so no need to schedule time off from work and then I took in a movie, review pending! First … Continue reading
Doctor said sane for the rest of ’23!
Last doctor visit for the year and I’m feeling pretty good. It was then great to have the doctor’s seal of approval on it. Now if I could just get the better feelings to spread to others where and when … Continue reading
Darned front filling popped out
Normally this doesn’t happen when I eat ribs but as soon as my tongue discovered a new hole on my teeth, I was, crap! Not bad, the filling held for four years. My front teeth would be in better shape … Continue reading
Received an e-mail from my past self today
It was quite a surprise this morning when I received something from futureme.org because I completely forgot I wrote and sent it! Santo Cielo! I had been in a crappy place too. I do remember still struggling with the aftermath of … Continue reading
Dr. says sane and finally, gym action!
Since I took the morning off to see the doctor, I used the time to clear out the chores I kept putting off (laundry mainly). I even had enough to hit the gym, restart yet again, after the doc! He … Continue reading
200,000 calories!
Woo hoo! As I keep getting into the groove of exercising in the morning, I crossed this threshold on the bike at work that tracks all I’ve done on it. No luck on getting it to add what I did … Continue reading
Dang! Back to a specialist on my crummy teeth
What I was hoping to be a routine filling operation became a little exercise in some pain. It’s my fault for not getting the right kind of toothbrush earlier in life and being more dedicated. So the filling I needed … Continue reading
New Delhi achieved!
A very overdue destination! Hell, I was within striking distance in January but I had to get sick, then COVID-19 sick, then Daylight Savings Time acclimation and now I’m back in the groove! Not so much the doctor harping on … Continue reading
Saw the doctor yesterday, I’ll live
Had to go back in order to get a refill on my irb-something which is for high blood pressure. Yeah, how 25-year-old me would be impressed at 54-year-old me. I know neither version is thrilled about this upcoming birthday, I’m … Continue reading
Good gravy! COVID-19 is still around in other ways
I still got off light compared to the one million (and counting) dead around the world. But damn, it’s pretty embarrassing over how easily I am winded just walking from my car in the parking lot to my cubicle at … Continue reading
COVID-19 is over and its aftermath
Finally tested negative by mid-week but then COVID-19 appeared to leave me a gift, as it seems to do to people over 40 or is it 50? I had been experiencing chest pains on my left side near the end. … Continue reading
