Miscellaneous 11/2010

Dear Utah drivers,

I've heard a rumor that it's bad manners to speed up and close the gap when somebody turns on his or her turn signal. In fact, I witnessed this a week ago. In Colorado, they actually SLOW DOWN and MAKE ROOM for you. Crazy, huh?

XOXO, a disgruntled driver

The good news about my trip to see my physiatrist was ... wait, I had it. Let me think.

Oh yeah, the good news was that there is no permanent nerve damage yet. The bad news, though? Pretty bad for me. The carpal tunnel surgery two years ago was a failure and will have to be re-done. And the left wrist is much, much worse now so it needs to be done as well. Nobody does the endoscopic (easy to recover from...) kind of surgery anymore. It's all the horrible kind that I had done. The recovery was so bad. So bad. I am almost in tears remembering it and knowing I have to do it all again.

But hey, no permanent damage yet, so there's that chance that maybe the next surgery will take and I'll have my hands back.

Sorry, not in a super positive mood right now. Try me tomorrow.

This was not the best week for me to set goals for a healthier lifestyle. I'm stressed and I want me some chocolate.

But I want me some less body fat, too, so too bad.

First ever attempt at wontons? Pure awesome. Think this is not in line with #4 (healthier lifestyle)? Nope. The way I will lose weight is by having a larger variety in my diet and having delicious foods at meal times so I don't binge all day between meals. I refuse to feel guilty about the wontons. Or the sesame chicken. (Yum.) I ate it with brown rice instead of white rice, so ... good? (And I don't fry the chicken. I just use chicken breast strips or shredded chicken and put the sesame glaze over it...) The Asian salad was amazing. We're doing this meal again next week. Fo sho.

I think I'm getting sick. I had a headache all day and my eyes hurt. Allergies? A cold? I don't know. But I feel bone tired and only about 50% present mentally.

Not a good time to blog.

A perfect time to blog.

People say that it's all about the pictures on the blog, ya know?

I know, right?

Have you ever thought about how to punctuate that phrase:
* I know. Right?
* I know, right?
* I know! Right?
It makes no sense when it's written down. I know, right?

Oh yeah, so pictures. Here you go. To appease the yearning masses longing for, err, I don't know. I'm tired. (Can you pinpoint the moment in this blog entry where I turned off the computer for a couple hours, then picked it up to continue later... tired-er and loopy-er? Betcha can.)

Here is something even goofier than my current writing mood. Twins are the best:

No, they're not identical. But they're both adorable.

I'm pretty sure society is going to heck. I just opened up CNN and their main headline reads, "What do dogs think about?"

Down below, really small, reads a headline, "Scientists capture antimatter atoms."

Argh. We don't need to read novels about dystopian cultures. Just gotta check CNN for proof that we're living in an age of irrationalismness. Uhh... Yes, did I mention I'm ti-red? Tired.
