Look No Further

i'm in love with this song. just heard it tonight. i've been a dido fan for a long time now and this one randomly played on Pandora and i think it's just grand!

just grand i say!


it makes me think about a lot of things, a lot of people, a lot of times past. i don't know why. but, to end with an extra cheesy line from the song, my heart has found its home.

and he'll be here soon. so soon. :)

on the rocks, for realsies

Montastic enjoys a nice whiskey on the rocks once in a while. Mmm.

Warms your tummy, warms your day, warms your life.

Well, it's about that time again. Time to start thinking about what to get Montastic for her birthday in a month (I know you all plan ahead of time).

Whiskey Stones is where da party at!

Freeze. Put in whiskey. Drink whiskey. Rinse. Reuse.

Pros: the stones don't melt or dilute the whiskey (like horrible ice), the stones are reusable, the whiskey is delicious

Cons: I don't own them yet.

$6.36

Well, I'm officially living paycheck to paycheck.
No, I am not making any huge payments on my debt, as much as I'm trying.
No, I am not putting any into savings, as much as I'd love too.
And no, I have no retirement fund or any explanation as to why my moolah is escaping me.

I made the sillypants decision to check my account this morning since I knew a few checks had been cashed for various bills. And guess what gloriousness I discovered!

I have a massive $6.36 in my account until payday this Friday. So, being as resourceful as humanly possible, I took to the internets to see what I could spend my fortune on.

Much to my chagrin, and in the name of all things practical, I stumbled upon a $6.36 LED headlamp...with free shipping. JACKPOT!

the last RoboKnee update (for now)

I had this 4 and a half weeks ago:

Yes, hot doc stuck a large needle way into my knee and filled it with the juice. A cortisone/lidocaine cocktail, as it were.

The pain was gone, and pending the shot wearing off, we would know what to do next.

Well today was my followup..and by now the shot should have worn off. The fact that pain has only barely barely barely came back means only one thing...RoboKnee is likely on the road to recovery. Yay! The shot has taken care of unseen inflammation in the knee, and now the plan is strengthening and slowly slowly working back up to normal activity.

While I still have moments of instability in my knee, that is just because my ACL graft is a little loose and the original surgery was imperfect. Strengthening the knee should stabilize some of this. Eventually I may need a remedial double-surgery to completely re-do the ACL graft. However, that is not the case right.

So that's good news. Even though I'm impatient and hate slow recovery. boo.

oh wellz! No going under the knife for Montastic and RoboKnee. At least not right now anyway. Hooray!
