Hahahaha. Okay. So I know this, like many posts, has nothing to do with technology, but I just had to share it. Oh man…

Earlier this evening, I was standing out on my front porch, because you know my cell phone does not work from inside. Anyway, I hear people talking next door, and the conversation goes like this.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing, just sitting here playing with the balls you gave me for Christmas.”

Now you have to understand the guy next door needs a pair, so I had to hurry up and get back inside before my laugh became too noticable.

I thought about it for a while, and I just hope he was talking about Aramith pool balls or something else along that line.

With all my holiday shopping, online and from catalogs, I forgot to look for a medical id bracelet.

I wanted to get one for my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, as stocking stuffers, and forgot all about it. I know a gift like that isn’t the most special thing in the world, but I thought they would be nice “useful” gifts that could end up saving their lives.

My arms and legs have been killing me for the past couple days, ever since I stopped taking all the medications for my tooth extraction. It gets to the point that I cannot even sit at the computer for more than 10 minutes without cramping up. I know my situation is not bad, but I have a friend with fibromyalgia, and if this is even one-tenth the pain they are suffering, I just cannot fathom how they function every day.

I’m sure what I have will go away in a few days, what they have won’t, and that just sucks.

The last time I traveled to the main office for work, my rolling laptop bag broke at the handle. What a pain that was, as I tried carrying that thing through the airport on my way home. The whole reason it was on wheels was because it was too heavy to carry, duh.

Anyway, for Christmas one of my presents was a new rolling laptop bag, and it’s pretty cool. I had looked at some travelpro cases, but I have no idea where the wife found this one. It’s pretty awesome though. Not that I want to travel any time soon.

Are you ready for New Years? I’m not sure I am. Well, I am looking forward to the day, but not what comes after. I am so not looking forward to next week. Our router at the office went down the week before Christmas and I am sure we didn’t get everything back up before our weeklong holiday.

Our used cisco router decided to die after a few years, but we should have everything running smoothly before the week ends.

With the Mitchell report coming out, telling us all everything we already knew, are we surprised by the revelations inside the report, or did we all expect them? Maybe the people involved shocked you? Not me. You see, doctors have been prescribing legal steroids and prohormones for years to help with injuries and other things, so it shouldn’t shock anybody that these guys were using them to build muscle.

While we were out Christmas shopping, I almost bought an HD television. Yes. I came real close, but I just couldn’t do it. It’s tight enough as it is this year, and I just couldn’t see going into debt for a television.

Okay, who am I kidding? The real reason I didn’t get it, is because I couldn’t find the perfect tv mount at the time. Sure, I have found one since then, but now the “buyers remorse” is kicking in before I even buy the damn thing.

About a month ago, our neighborhood cat decided she didn’t want to live here anymore. We have not seen hide nor hair of her since before Thanksgiving. I think she went to live at the chicken farm up the road. Many cats have disappeared from our neighborhood over the course of the past few years, and I am sure they are all finding better accommodations, you know, food, atmosphere, cat furniture, etc…

We have seen a couple of the other cats from the neighborhood, so maybe we’ll see her again someday.

This last trip up north for work really sucked. Normally, the hotel I stay at has a workout room, with treadmills, exercise bikes, and ellipticals, but this time, I got stuck at a hotel with nothing more than an “exercise corner”.

Of course, this wouldn’t be so bad, if I didn’t actually gain three pounds while I was there. Damn. Next time I am going to demand a better exercise room.

Well, my mom has been here in Georgia for almost two months now, and she seems to be adjusting well. I don’t think she misses Las Vegas much at all, I know I don’t. I don’t miss the traffic, the heat, or anything else, except the buffets.

I do miss walking into just about any Las Vegas hotel and eating until I was stuffed like a Christmas turkey.
