Tales from the Boot!

So, I went to see the doctor on Tuesday. She didn't xray me this time, but wants me to wear this silly thing for another 3 weeks, and when I go back on Nov 12, she will xray me then. Hopefully by that point, I will be healed and able to take this thing off for good!

In other news, Heather left yesterday at about 1500 to go to a conference in Grand Island for work. She wont be back until sometime Friday, I hate when she is gone! :(

I am awake, and it is only 0700...I was up at 0600-ish so I could get the kids outta bed and get them ready for school. 'K' will be home from school again today, he still feels a little warm, he spiked a fever of 102 on Tuesday night. So, instead of taking the kids to school again today, I will be walking 'T' to the bus stop.

Random Ramblings

So, been almost a week with no "real" blogging done, so I thought I would sit here and pound out a quick one to keep even myself up to date with what is going on. I get to go back to the doctor on Tuesday morning to get more xrays and fun stuff like that...foot still hurts, no surprise there. Not much really went on this week to talk about. My friend got me to sign on to a WoW server she plays on, and suddenly I am hooked once again. On top of playing that, I am playing 2 different mods for D2, Dark Alliance and Tricet of Apocalypse. DA is still in development and as such, still not even in alpha stages at this point. With only 3 playable characters and one act to run around in, only so much I can test at this point. I think we have pretty much beaten to death every bug so far! :D ToA is a pretty decent mod thus far, but, I have only made it to Act 2. Some of the skills take some getting used to in terms of how to aim them and such, but once you get that down, its fairly easy to take out a mob...just gotta get that aiming down. World of Warcraft...now there is a game that most D2Modders dont like to hear. I always said that after DAoC, I would not play a "Pay-to-Play" game again. Meaning, I will not go out and spend $50 on a game, only to have to continue to pay $15 or whatever per month to simply play the blasted thing. Enter good friends. I now have a copy of WoW, and play on a server, all for nothing. The server that I play on seems to have the experience up a bit from the last one I played, and the drop rate is insane. Greens are a little too abundant, but meh, I just will start selling them all instead of sending them off to the Guild Bank characters. Oh, and on top of playing all these, I have some work to do for another friend who made one of the Best full conversion D2Mods out there, Back to Hellfire. Oh, and, me and my friend who got me re-hooked on WoW are in the planning stages of making a mod of our own...anyone keeping score here, I lost count of how much I have going on...

Lets see, what else can I bore you with...Oh...I know! Heather is leaving Wednesday for a conference in Grand Island, which means she will be gone Wed and Thur, coming home sometime on Friday...that should be fun! :S

Monday evening I have been invited to go to a RAW event with friends who have an extra ticket, I hope my head calms down before then, otherwise, I am just going to stay home...kinda be stupid to go to a wrestling event with a migraine....talk about glutton for punishment! I hope the weather figures out what the hell it wants to do sometime soon, my head cannot take much more of this.

Well, thats all for now...wish I had more for ya, but, guess I am pretty much as boring as I thought I was! :D

So...Vala's...

We made it about half-way to the pumpkin patch, after a side trip to Grog's to see his decorations this year, when I turned to Heather and asked the famous question "Did you bring the camera?". Considering we have been without a working digital camera for over a year, this was actually good timing! :P We decided that since we were closer there than to home, we would go without the camera. :( Sorry to those who were wanting pics of me in my boot! :P

We get there, first things first, pit stop, it was a long drive. We head from there to grab a bite to eat...note to self, next year, stay away from the Bratwurst at the Pirate Cove Grub & Grog....bland city! Course, half-way through dinner, the one child who didnt take advantage of the pit stop now has to go...he can wait while we finish our dinner though, its half way across the place to get back to the restrooms. Dinner is over, another pit stop. We wander from there down towards the pony rides...Heather finally convinces the boys they want to ride on the ponies...after the pony rides, the boys are set to go into the "haunted house". Heather takes them through the Spook Shed, the kiddie version of a haunted house with no pop scares! I sit on the rocks outside resting my foot. The come out of there, now the boys want to go through the other hounted house. Heather takes them through that one while I stand outside and wait for them...not going to trust the floors in those places to be even enough for my to walk through comfortably. Next stop, Story book barn. I should have sat this one out as well, as the floors in here are definitely not boot friendly. We finish up the first part of the story book barn, the boys forget there is a second part and it saves me from having the chicken version of "In the Mood" stuck in my head, so all is good. It is now around 8pm or so, and there is lightning off in the distance. Heather suggests we go get some pumpkins from the hay rack ride, I suggest we go with her earlier suggestion and just pick some out of the bins. Much as I would love to traipse through the fields and find that pumpkin that is just right...well, you know, the boot...and the impending doom of thunder from overhead. We find pumpkins, mine is a monster! We check out, including Heather's chunk o' fudge that she grabbed at the last minute, our pumpkins ran us just over $13....at $0.30 per pound...you do the math...Heather and the boys got small pumpkins... :P We head home and it starts raining as we are leaving the parking lot....good timing, we got out of there before everyone and their brother was trying to leave the place at the same time!!!

I will try to get pics of our pumpkins at the very least, just to give you an idea of the size of this thing....its about as tall as Keigan, but weighs more than he does... :P (not like that is hard to do!) :D

Thats all for now, dont wanna bore ya with details about my harrowing experience of driving to work in the downpour while almost getting thrown off the road by hidden puddles at 60MPH.

Brain hurts...


If your brain works normally this is interesting.
This is another example of an amazing illusion!!!

The last sentence is so true.

If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating
pink dot, the dots will remain only one color, pink.



However if you stare at the black " + "
in the center, the moving dot turns to green.

Now, concentrate on the black " + "
in the center of the picture. After a short period,
all the pink dots will slowly disappear, and you
will only see only a single green dot rotating.

It's amazing how our brain works.
There really is no green dot , and the
pink ones really don't disappear.
This should be proof enough,

We don't always see
what we think we see.

We shall find out tomorrow...

This morning I woke up and was barely able to walk out of the bedroom. My foot swelled (swole?) during the night, and hurt like hell this morning. I took some (read 800mg) ibuprofen and used an ice pack for a bit, then I was out the door. While on the road with my folks to go get some stuff from the store and to get their other car, I was using a cane I picked up a while ago at the dollar store for support. I called the doctor's office while out and about, and set up to see the doc tomorrow afternoon, Heather has an appointment at 3pm to see about getting some Ciantix to quit smoking. I figured I could sneak in and have my foot x-rayed while there, just to be on the safe side. Currently, I am walking without my cane, but, I wouldnt call it walking, and dont expect me to make it anywhere fast... :D

It is official, I am a moron!

So, to make it a short story...my folks asked me to stop by their old house after work to help pull up the carpet in the living room, easy enough job, its only one room, 11' X 17'. So, we get it rolled up most of the way and it gets stuck. So here I am after working 13 hours, I decide the easiest way to move it would be to kick it.....can ya see where this is going yet? Here I am now, bout an hour later, with ice on my foot and 800Mg of Ibuprofen startin to work its way through my system. If it swells up by tomorrow, I will get it checked by the doc, til then, ice and ibuprofen...

What a Maroon!

Just a First Dump

Just checking out what the page looks like for now, will probably post more as the week goes by, not much to say right now, working and all that jazz...holiday weekends are the best! :D
