To further prove the point that I'm becoming retarded -

From an IM a few minutes ago..

I_am_stupid

I'm either not hooked enough on phonics, or too much.  I'm already a horrible speller.  I try to spell out words phonetically, but I'm never close.  Heck, I end up mispronouncing the words.  Anyhow, I caught myself typing the word "system" as SISTEM.  WTF???????   At least I caught it before I ran a spell check. But still...

Got an e-mail from my Mom this morning.  She's been doing some spring cleaning and came across an old list of possible names for me before I was born.  Not sure if I would be any different if I was called something else.  Still, I think it's interesting to think about the alternative life you may of had with a different name.  Anyhow, here are the options my Parents picked out, with the first one being the actual one that was given to me -

This is the 5th time now that I've waked up around 3am.  I do not want to be up at this time.  Please tell me where the reset button is for my internal clock.

Had a friend over last night.  We ended up watching the Cardinals/Eagles game.  Anyhow, not having anyone to talk to for a couple of days, I yapped my head off.  This resulted into a sore throat later that evening and a worse one later that night.  I guess I need to be like Ozzy in the one commercial and text people for the next couple of days.

Well for those who are interested, my surgery went well and I have one less parathyroid gland in me.  I was released this morning and now, I'm catching up on a lot of missed sleep.  The fine folks at Mount Carmel East were wonderful and they have my thanks.  I'll post some pics of the ordeal in the next few days.  Stay tuned...

I woke up this morning and my throat was a little sore, like last week.  Now, it hurts to swallow.  Now I'm debating to tough it out until Monday to see my family doctor or go to the Urgent Care tomorrow morning.  I guess it all depends how I feel in the morning.  I just don't want to be sick during Christmas.

My house is disorganized to say the least.  I'm having problems finding stuff.  I need to be on one of those shows that comes to your home and gets rid of all your clutter.  I managed tonight, to give myself a paper cut underneath my fingernail of my right ring finger.  Now that takes talent. 

Work made me angry.  To be precise, those in Corporate.  When I used to work in I/T, the users were our customers.  That was more than 10 years ago.  Now it's the other way around.  It seems like we work for I/T.  Not a good way to run a business.  I wish I can leave my anger back at work, but I'm still dwelling on it.  Nothing I can do, so I need to let it go. 

One of my friends at work has terminal cancer.  It sucks more and more everyday that I see him, knowing that he has less than a year to live.  Still, I could get hit my a meteor tomorrow.  When it's time, it's time.

It feels like I got some bad mojo going on right now, and I need to shake it. 

I helped my Mom put up the Christmas tree at her house.  It was a like a scene from a Three Stooges skit.  I really need to slow down and not rush things.  I think that's tonight's lesson.

Well...I'm done rambling.  Good night all....

I stole this from Elyse...

In my last post, I talked about having an ultrasound on my throat.  Well, after multiple scans/test, I have a naughty parathyroid that's over producing calcium (hyperparathyroidism).  I need to have surgery to remove it (which is scheduled on January the 15th).  In theory, it's should be safe.  There's a tiny chance that my vocal nerve could be damaged and I could end up with a raspy voice.  I asked the surgeon if he can lower my voice by an octave.  I always thought that Sam Elliot's voice kicked ass and would love to have something like that.  In theory, I should only be in the hospital for 24 to 48 hours and then need another 7 to 10 days to recoup.  Anyhow, I'm not too worried about it.  I just hope my hospital gown stays on while I'm there!
