Vicodin Rocks

I had a root canal this morning. The procedure wasn’t bad at all as I am very use to dental procedures. When I got home and the novacaine was wearing off the pain got pretty bad so I took some vicodin. Wow! No more pain and I have a slight high. What sucks a bit though, is that vicodin only works well for me if I am really in pain. If I take it for the hell of it I just end up feeling like shit. I am very hungry now and I can’t really eat or drink for a while. If vicodin made me feel like this at any point, I would surely become an addict.

In other news, we bought a recumbent bike. I’ve done at least 30 minutes on it each day for the past 5 days. In addition to that I am working with a personal trainer twice a week and eating pretty healthy, I am feeling pretty good.

I got new glasses too. They are kind of crazy to get used to. I’ve only worn them for about 1 hour so far, but thats cause they give me a headache. I need to slowly work into them. They have a different prescription plus a different lense type, so it takes some extra getting used to. The frame is made by Calvin Klein, so I am very fashionable. I actually like the frame better than my current frames. Here are some photos of the old and new frames, but the colors are not correct.

New frames (mine are tortoiseshell):

I think I might go watch Heavenly Creatures since I got the DVD from Netflix. Seems like a good way to waste time while I am high.

I wonder if anyone ever noticed this

When we got our checks printed you had the option to add a phrase right above the signature area. The above is a scan of what we selected. I wonder if anyone ever handling one of our checks noticed it and knew where it came from. If I was a check handler, I would certainly get a kick out of it.

Cleaning

Yesterday I cleaned the kitchen like I’ve never cleaned a kitchen before. I cleaned everything except the inside of the oven, which I think is a battle that can’t be won. Today I will do the same with the bathroom, which shouldn’t be too bad. There was something that smelled not so great in here and though I think I’ve figured out who the culprit was, I just feel like continuing to clean now since I’m not exactly good at keeping up with it.

In other news…

Wow, IE 7 is really unattractive. I downloaded and installed it yesterday, since I am a web developer and though I despise IE, I have to make sure things work with it. Luckily, everything has worked thus far. I guess the only positive thing is the tabs, but wow, I just really don’t like looking at it. The little buttons/icons are ugly. It doesn’t have a File, etc. menu at the top, which I guess maybe Windows is doing away with in Vista, so that could explain it, but geez, I think I’ll definitely be getting another Mac for my next desktop.

I really like Pedro the Lion. I don’t know why it took me so many years to come to this conclusion, but better late than never. I’m listening to all their material I have in iTunes on shuffle right now.

I’m waiting for someone from the local newspaper to call me because she is doing an article on local dog parks and happens to want my opinion. She also mentioned coming to the pug meetup to take photos. That is quite awesome. I also did a phone survey today for $30. Which is very nice.

Why won’t my last remaining 1099 show up so I can do my taxes?

Crap, it’s February

There are lots of things going on. I’ve been actually going to the gym lately. I feel pretty good about that. I think I have a rogue wisdom tooth coming in. It’s just a little bit late. I almost had to fire someone at work. Gwen has demodex and possibly some sort of pancreatic enzyme defficiency. The vet gave me “the speech” about feeding raw and I just smiled and nodded. So, I should go to bed as its getting late.
