The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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 think I have one that would do nicely for her...we’ll see! It wasn’t the one I originally had in mind, so I just sent a FReepmail with some info.

In the meantime, I got to spend a good portion of the evening playing with ink again. I like that. ;-)

One of these days I’m going to pick up another bottle or so. Something purple, I’m thinking. Or maybe a nice green or brown.

Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps. It mostly consists of doctors and nurses, EMTs, firefighters and such...but not everyone is in the medical field.

I saw an Iraqi Indigo...I think that’s what it’s called.

I like the idea of the Legal Lapis...I want to actually use this pen. Heck, I may go back to writing checks just so I can. Probably be better for me anyway...easier to keep an eye on my balance than just swiping with a debit card!

Yep.

Probably because I ate two pieces of garlic toast at the dinner last night...maybe too salty. Wedding ring is a bit tight this morning.

But sheesh...I’m on FOUR strong bp meds...I should have a little wiggle room!

~shrug~

Oh well, I changed PCPs, you know and I go to him on the 5th...maybe fresh eyes will see something different.

ohfercryinoutloud...

You sure you don’t just need a new BP cuff? Seriously, I hope they get this all figured out soon.

Heh heh...I thought of that. I’m on my second cuff, I destroyed the other one. Also, when I’m at work, I verify my pressures on the machine there. They’re brand new (the whole hospital is brand new), state-of-the-art machines...I wish I had one but I’m sure they cost a fortune.

Hi 2J... I sure hope you get your BP under control. I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn last night, but I don’t think it’s supposed to do that.

Good morning.... the trip to Seattle nearly done me in. Too busy, too paved.

I think it’s a battle going on inside. Something inside me wants my blood pressure up. Thinks it’s imperative that it stays up. I take a pill to lower it and it goes down for a bit, but then fights back and goes back up. So I add another pill and it lowers it but then fights back and goes back up.

Steve even told me Sunday evening that it might do this...
