Let There Be Lights

I wasn’t sure the weather was going to cooperate, but it did. There are xmas lights on the house now. HoHoHo.

I had no reason to do this but I did because I am a nerd.

Sick Day Update

How’s it going, sick person?

I feel better. Not all better, but better than I was when I was doubled over in pain while I was trying to take a shower this morning. I feel like I got my ass kicked by a locomotive or something, but my stomach isn’t hurting like it was before.

I managed some food. It was sort of like breakfast at lunch time, but I ate some scrambled eggs. I’ve had some water too, and in 13 minutes I’ll be able to have some more. I still feel pretty dehydrated, but nowhere near as bad as I was when I wrote the last post.

It’s a safe bet I won’t be hitting my protein and liquid goals again today, but now it seems like I won’t get virtually shut out like I did on Thursday. I just missed a bunch of time while I was hurting and I don’t think I will be able to make it up. I’ll get as close as I can without overdoing it and just let it go from there.

I’m also not sure what to do for today’s photo a day thing. I will probably used the bathroom construction again. I could use xmas decorations but I’m tired of that. I’m pretty tired of the construction stuff too, but what can you do. We also need to find things to put us into the holiday spirit. I don’t know about the rest of you, but getting sick twice in December has put a damper on my festiveness. Jen found this yesterday though and it might help:

I wonder why our house isn’t on the list?

Kidding.

There’s also a light display at the Stone Zoo. That feels more like a weekend thing to me though. Maybe we could wait for the kids to be home for that one.

Last One for a While

I promise this is the last Christmas lights post for a while.

…and as a bonus, here’s Patches.

More Lights

Yesterday I put xmas lights along the roof. Today I put them on the railings. Maybe tomorrow I’ll outline the windows? Nah, probably not. I’m running out of extension chords and outside plugs.

This shot kinda sucks. The film version required me to walk down the street a little way. I had to leave the shutter open for five seconds. I got to use my little cable release thingie. It’s going to look like black and white shit, but it’s still kinda cool in theory.

Oh yeah, and I bought more lights tonight. So… we’ll be doing this again at some upcoming date.

Here Comes the Flood

Thanksgiving was two days ago so…

I will take a couple of pictures of the house once the sun goes down. I’ll try to at least. The decorating is scheduled to go off the deep end starting tomorrow at some time. KaBoom, babie, it’s christmas.
