The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 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!

Hmm, FR does not do double click detection. Interesting. Did not notice that before. Poor code.

Yeah, I was induced with Paul, our first, but only because my water had already broken earlier that morning. The doc suggested that with Joseph because labor was creeping along, but I told him he’d better not get anywhere near me with that stuff! Joseph arrived in his own sweet time. Thankfully, labor was fairly easy.

Last night for the Fall Festival Jr. said he wanted to write "I need a car" on a t-shirt and go as a prayer request.

That would have been fun!

For the record, staying up late to work on an unrelated story and then getting up early to start NaNo...not a good way to go.

You know, I’ve lost track of all my immunization records...right? Which I needed to get a job.

So I’ve been updating that. I got my tetanus shot when I cut my finger on the VW and so I had a record of that. But I had no record of my MMR, or whether or not I’ve had chicken pox.

So I just got the MMR vaccine and had a chicken pox titer drawn which showed I am immune to chicken pox.

Also, I got tested for TB and that was negative.

I got that MMR about a week ago. They told me I might experience joint pain. Well, I did. It started two days ago and my stars...it felt like someone was driving a phillips head screw driver into every joint in my body.

At one point I was trying to get to the kitchen and could hardly walk, Steve was watching from his recliner and suddenly I just froze and bellowed “GET ME SOME ADVIL!!!”

Heh heh!

Anyway, it’s a strange thing...comes and goes and is only a mild odd feeling if I keep Advil in me.

Worst shot I’ve ever had (and for overseas AF duty, we had a lot) was typhoid. By a mile. As I recall, that’s one they usually give as an oral thingie of some sort, but they were out when I went through tech school, so we got the shot. Two of them, actually, but the first was the worst.

Almost my entire class got the shot, because almost all of us were slotted to go overseas, and we all got it the same day. The instructor must have wondered what was going on...we were all sitting there glassy-eyed and shivering and sick to our stomachs all day. It was awful! Like a really, really bad flu type thing.

I think they’ve improved the vaccination since then.

Oh ugh...

Well, I tell ya...I was pretty grumpy. I couldn’t move, sit, stand, lay down...I was miserable in every position.

The advil kicked in while I was laying down and I just crashed from exhaustion!

I can feel it even now but I’m keeping it at bay.

I haven’t found any mention of your case in the paper.

Is a Murder 1 conviction no longer news in Tacoma? :~o
