Today our department had a potluck lunch. Typically potluck meals are not my favorite places to eat, but this lunch may have changed my mind. There were many vegetarian dishes made and all of those were extremely delicious. I appreciate my coworkers and their healthy meal choices.
Tuesday morning I woke up in quite a bit of pain after hurting my ribs on Saturday. I had had broken ribs before so I knew the feeling, but this was a level above that. Off to urgent care I drove… After my examination the Doctor there told me to go immediately to the emergency room, which I did. He thought I had a ruptured spleen based on my pain level and how swollen my abdomen was. Well, so…
This past weekend was great! I went for a motorcycle ride with friends up to Bartlett Lake after a stop in Cave Creek for some breakfast. Here is a photo of our stop at the lake. When I arrived home Callie and I were playing around the house and having a great time until I tripped over her and fell onto the coffee table in my front room. The table is fine, but I ended up with a few broken ribs….
I’ve used WP for quite a few other sites and after getting tired of using iWeb and manually managing the process for a few years now I have decided to utilize WP for the KleinPad! Migrating my blog info from 1997 was a pain in butt because none of the automated tools worked. Well, we’ll see how it goes!
At 86,000 miles I have used about 1,791 gallons of gasoline with my Prius. Compared to 4,095 I would have used with my old Subaru Legacy or Audi A4. That is a savings of 2,304 gallons of gasoline or about $6,912 in fuel savings at $3.00 per gallon (Prius also takes regular and my others took premium). Plus, the Prius was less expensive to purchase and maintain. Yes, I do think it was a good investment and at 86,000 miles…
This year has gone by so far so fast. I’m now on vacation in Rapid City, South Dakota visiting family, friends and checking out my old home town. The vacation started out with an all school reunion at my old high school, Saint Martin’s Academy. The local catholic diocese recently purchased the school from the Benedictine Nuns who ran it for many, many years and have converted the high school into the new grade school, added a new retreat…
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! Add caption This past year’s fun… Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, safe and prosperous New Year! May 2012 be even better and let’s all hope the Mayans are off by a few thousand years. This past year has been a good one, filled with plenty of great memories of family, new friends and new experiences. Early this year my dear little dog, Isabella passed away. I was lucky enough to…
I never thought I would see the day when I would think, “Wow, she makes Sarah Palin seem intelligent.” Well, I wouldn’t go so far as intelligent, just not as stupid as I normally think she is. Michelle Bachmann has made some pretty stupid statements within day(s) of entering the herd of republicans now attempting to win the race for president in 2012. Mixing up John Wayne with John Wayne Gacy? http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-bachmann-wayne-20110627,0,187514.story?track=rss Even the Tea Baggers have…
Great blend tonight: apple, blueberries, strawberries, raw pumpkin seeds, raw almonds, aloe vera, ginger, kale, bananas, water and…can’t remember if that was all, but it was great!
On Tuesday my weekly prescription of Prednisone ran out and I was feeling pretty good, but by later that day I knew I was in trouble again. I noticed that those areas which seemed to be clearing up were becoming red and irritated so I went back to the doctor this morning. Another week of Prednisone and steroid cream. Fun. Hopefully this will take care of it.
