We interrupt this program…

Well, my weekend of home aloneness came to a screeching halt before it began. I received a call on Thursday evening that my Dad was in the hospital, and my mind frantically began thinking of what could have happened.

It turns out that during a visit for one minor problem, a smart doctor detected a symptom of another extremely serious problem that could have developed into a catastrophic ailment. In order to fix this problem, immediate surgery was required, so I raced out of here…for four hours…down to see my Dad in the hospital as he prepared for his surgery.

After a sometimes-emotional nine hours in the hospital, in which his surgery was delayed almost four hours, the ordeal was finally over. Now the recovery begins.

My Dad is home now and well on his way back to being 100%. Dad, I know the grass not being cut is really bugging you, but let it be, take it easy, and get well soon.

It’s times such as these that you really appreciate your loved ones.

I Love a Rainy Night…

…and day.

Every day.

Constantly.

In case you don’t live on the east coast, it’s been like Seattle here for the past six weeks. I usually don’t mind rain too much as it lets me appreciate the nicer days and allows me to be a hermit sometimes, but it’s really affected the mood of some people in this area. Monica hates it, but she’s managed well so far.

I’ve been a bit under the weather the past week and a half or so, thus, the limited updates. I’ve got some sort of cold or something (as does Monica). Stuffy head and now a congested chest make for some fun times. Her mom even has something way up in NY so something is definitely going around. Here’s wishing good health for all three of us.

It’s about time I updated some pictures on the site. Perhaps I’ll do that this evening.

Down and Out in NoVA

So that’s what food poisioning is like. Ugh. It all started on Friday morning about 4 am when I awoke with a tremendous feeling of what felt like heartburn. This was replaced by a feeling of nausea so I rushed to the bathroom, but nothing showed up. While I was there, I decided to…I’ll put this delicately…go to the bathroom. I preceded to “go to the bathroom” many times over the course of that day, only pausing to take occasional naps and end my vomit streak around 8:45 am. Eight years – gone. My streak is now three days. Look to the cookie!

Never, ever buy cooked shrimp from Safeway.

Then came the 101 degree fever on Friday night. We were supposed to go down to Chesapeake to see the family but couldn’t make it due to my illness. Sorry everyone! I ended sleeping most of the weekend anyway. Missed some pretty good weather too. :sad: At least I had Monica to take care of me the whole time. Thank you, baby!

Now I’m back at work, and I’m still not 100%. To top it off, they are still working on resurfacing the roof here so there’s a wonderful smell of tar in the air. :sick:

Ok, been a few days since I posted here. I’ve spent some time updating the look and feel of the site. It’s totally different now, as if you couldn’t tell. Post some messages and tell me what you think!

The cold weather is really starting to take a toll on us. I’m sick. Monica is sick. The only healthy thing in this house is lil’ Jack.

There’s word of a major storm heading this way threatening to dump alot of snow on us near the end of this week. I can’t believe I’m going to say it, but I’m tired of the snow. It’s cool when you’re a kid, but when you have to go to work, it absolutely sucks. It wouldn’t be so bad if my job would actually close when it snows six inches and it takes five hours to shovel the snow and you have to get up three hours early to get to work on time. Ok, rant over.

Oh, and a big Happy Birthday goes out to my dad today.

Does that mean you can draw social security now?

Fun with Car Keys

Had a little adventure today when Monica locked her keys in her car. It was extra fun because she had no idea where her spare key is. AAA is king (a slow king, but still king).

Went to the doctor today, but all they gave me was medicine for my symptoms…no antibiotics. I understand that too many of those is bad for you in the long run, but I know this sinus infection is going to get worse, as usual, and I’ll need the antibiotics in a few days anyway. Oh well. *cough*

Made some more changes to the front page. There are now random photos that will appear above the blogs. I’m not sure if I’m done tinkering or not, but we’ll see.

That was some speech by Powell today, huh? You wanted evidence? Blammo, here’s enough for three Iraqs. Anyone that’s not behind us now is insane. Of course, France will still wuss out.

Monday. Blech.

Fighting this sinus infection today. My head feels like it’s in the clouds. I’m going to have to go the doctor later this week.

Finalized our honeymoon today. Yea! I’ll put the details on the wedding page eventually. Yeah, I know, we’ve said that alot lately and nothing has shown up. It’ll be there.

Changed the look of the front page. I was thinking it was a little too cluttered. I moved the movie, DVD, and book sections to the ‘about us’ page. Let me know what you think.

One Bad Thing, One Good Thing

What a weekend. Spent alot of yesterday watching footage from the terrible Columbia disaster. It brought back memories, bad ones at that, of the Challenger back in 1986. Hearing the final words of the Columbia commander really got to me…it’s just awful.

Decided on our invitations yesterday and started our registry at Hechts. We’re going to have to go back to finish it though; it’s just way too much to do in one sitting.

On Friday, my throat started to not feel well; a sure sign of one of my killer sinus infections that I tend to get a couple of times a year. Sure enough, it set in yesterday and now today, I’m feeling horrible. It caused me to miss our friend, Mike Sherman, becoming a deacon this morning at our church, but Monica was able to attend. Congratulations, Mike!
