My Hill

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Beautiful day on my Hill! Sunny, with blue skies criss-crossed with jet trails, and cool. It's nearing one pm, and there's still dew on the green, green grass. Daffodils are bloomin' and it's perfect!


Spring always makes My Hill the best place to be.

Ditto on My Hill, except it's still winter and nothing is green or blooming (it's 13 C, though, and beautiful, I just skivved off to the park for a walk).

Hope the nice weather holds for a while;  in Calgary, April snow showers bring May blizzards.  We always get a major snowfall in the 'spring'.  Our seasons are Winter, Chinook, More Winter, Still Winter, Stampede, Almost Winter and Winter.   It's Chinook right now which is almost as good as Stampede, because there are less drunks in cowboy hats.  Last year there was one day that I couldn't figure out what looked so strange about the outdoors - then I realized it was because there was green stuff growing on the trees.

Big thunderstorm over my hill.  Raining like crazy, with lots of wind.  Missy is curled up on my bed staying nice and dry.

Blogging on my Hill. I also write for Government Dirt now.
Little thing on Bush taking national guard stuff.

Darn it, SP, now I'm gonna have to read that website.... 

Blustery day, on My Hill.  Taking the day off (mostly), worked long on Saturday instead.

Cats're still asleep on the bed---it's that sort of day. 

No sunshine. 

Nothing much on Cat TV (out the windows), as outdoor critters have gone to ground due to the rain and wind.

So, they're sleeping in.

Can't blam'em, slept in myself until a while ago, when hunger woke me up... :O

Listening to the women sing on my rehearsal, I mean, on My Hil.

  You WILL have to! Either that or Dingbots, my other site.


Dark on my Hill. Home finally, after a long day at work (Ok, it was only four hours, but it felt like much longer).

And I smell like coffee!

On My Hill, I am currently pondering the magical effect of calling the doctor for an appointment. AFter a careful assessment of all the various problems, I called my gastroenteralagist for a Next Available, and the stomach pains, burning, and pain in the "submucosal lipomas in the descending colon area" ALL stopped.

Dead. Not a twinge.

Whassup wif dat? on My Hill??

Clearly, they [the symptoms] are Afraid.....they are Very, Very Afraid.

It seems that, sometimes, the very threat of Attention is Enough.

I'm happy your symptoms are not present, though.  Hope they stay away until 5 seconds before the specialist walks in the room to see you...

Hah!  Went into see a doctor on My Hill about the shoulder pain/strain I was having, and getting addicted to ibuprofen for....   

The pain was fine that day, even though I went without the NSAIDs in an attempt to get a good flare-up going.

With the limited ouch-factor, we came up with a diagnosis of a strained trapezius - sounds about right and a relief because I thought it was related to a bit of tendinitis/bursitis I had last summer.  I never know if I can trust my doctor because he is so calm and blase' about it that I suspect he's either a total genius or completely inept.  I just can't decide which one (and getting a new doctor in this city is more hassle than it's worth at this point).

Had one hell of a headache on My Hill that day, though.  I don't take OTC painkillers ever - if it's bad enough for pain medication, it's bad enough for prescription. I was in for the anti-inflammatory bit.

neuralgia in the tip of my ear on My Hill

another chunk of case study written today on My Hill; now I just have to write another 800 words, remove about 800 other words, rewrite another 750 words, find apt quotations and remove enough words to insert them and do the bibliogrpahy, then check it meets all the targets; My Hill is feeling a little overwhelming; could even say My Hill is bogged down.

replace the first 800 above with 400 and you get a picture of My Hill after today's small effort

oh you prefer me to spell it out?

Here's a hug for ya: 

Your conundrum reminds me of my computer programming days.

The ONLY way I could get through it, was to NOT look at the "big picture"-- I would totally ignore it, actually.

I would pick an arbitrary piece of it, and work on that.   Then, I'd pick another, and so on.

Eventually, I'd come to the end of the tiny pieces.... *sigh*

In other news, I went to the eye examiner for my Final 6 month post- LASIC exam on My Hill.

I now have 20-15 vision for middle and far.  Near is about 20-50 or so, and 1+ corrective lenses work for most things (like my computer screen's display).   I keep some 2+ for reading in bed, as the book's apt to be closer.
