The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

I use to do graphic design and illustration back in high school and used them heavily for that.

Sigh, yet another stage in my life where I took a different turn. When I was in 7th grade, I was determined I was going to be an architect. Then I was going to go into commerical art. Was even accepted at Virginia Tech in the art department. Not really sure why that one went away...

Seems to me that Dogwood Ridge is about the most central location...

I did some architecture stuff in highschool and was fairly into that. When I was at a ‘low motivation’ point in college I seriously considered switching to studying art or design. But I figured I would not forgive myself for not finishing the degree I started and I stuck it out. Yup, one of those pivot points in life.

Do NaNo things count as art? Or should I werk harder at my cross stitch?

I miss the Entmoot castle.

I couldn’t come up with a better term than art or craft-moot. But I think it could be anything you create.

I didn’t want to say “creative-moot” ‘cause that sounds a bit too elfish...

I do a lot of wondering about what-ifs. :-\

But maybe I’ll be one of those people who become best-selling authors in their sixties. Or something.

One of my best friends here (her husband teaches Matthew’s Latin) told me that if they can’t figure out what’s wrong with me by the end of this month, she’d go with me to the Mayo Clinic. She’s been before...she’s from that area and knows the area.

But I go see my new primary care doc today...so I’m optimistic.

Hey...here’s a weird thing that happened...last night, I was just walking down the hall when I felt an odd sensation. Felt like altitude sickness and I think I’ve mentioned that when my BP went down I felt short of breath like at a high altitude. I commented about it to Steve and then went and checked my pressure and it was 128/88! The lowest it’s been in 2 days! It’s been steadily dropping ever since. Right now it’s 104/72!

All I can think is either my bigger patch kicked in (I replaced it over 48 hours ago) or I just went through another high BP spell and the medications kept it from spiking real high.

I just don’t know.

I try not to do so much anymore. Without over-spiritualizing it (here at least) I can see how the Lord has lead us to places for various reasons.

If I have regrets they're 1) not serving in the military, and 2) not having a better sense of direction with my education. I changed my major three times. And I pushed myself to finish in four years because I thought that's what should be done, and after my dad died the only way I could finish school (at the private school were I was) was on his SS and Veteran's benefits.

Sure would be nice if the new primary care doc found something.

Maybe they’ll refer you to another specialist that can really get to the bottom of this? What’s left...endocrinology or neurology? :-\

I’m so frustrated for ya!

Yup. In September. And it is even closer to the 3rd anniversary of us meeting in person at ShootMoot.

Sure doesn’t seem like that long!

And I still don’t own any guns. Something wrong there.

No kidding. There are some pretty cheap decent ones out there. I am sure you know where you can get more advice on buying one than you need ;D
