Month: December 2018

So I guess Vodka, oils, and tea are not the only things that get infused.  We are at the infusion center to get a dose of Ocrevus.  Hopefully, this will go well today and then we won’t have to come back for 6 months. Ratpuke7

Well, I’m glad that this year is coming to a close.  Hopefully next year is a better year.  Not that this year was a bad year as far as things go, it was just a long ass year as far as work is concerned.  I worked a lot of hours which diluted my take home pay, left me with no time to do other important things like clean and straighten the house, go to the bank, spend quality time with my spouse, and all the things that a normal person would do in their normal life.  No normal life for me.

This new “block” format is not really that new.  Well, maybe for WordPress but this is what Quattro Pro developed back in the 90’s. Everything old is new again… hahahaha.  Remember the “Object Inspector”?  Similar, just redesigned for WordPress. 

Things I never really got to do this year… clean my basement, paint the paneling, set up my art stuff, straighten up my tools, collimate my 5″ reflector telescope, bring home and set up my amps with speakers, reconfigure my basement network. 

Things I never really got to work on this year… study my tai-chi and chi-gong, work on my life drawing chops, work on my guitar, speak with Dan concerning getting back into functional martial arts

So no Ocrevus from Northbrook – CVS didn’t deliver the goods – thanks for nothing CVS.  Had to reschedule.  Vikash came home yesterday to total IT chaos – an iSCSI controller was having network connection issues to the servers, which caused all the VMs to have issues as well as the VPN and the DCs.  My car would not start yesterday afternoon – battery problems.  I had to go to NTB to get a new battery (bummer).  The battery was only 2 years old.  However, I did some research – batteries can be up to 5 years old when you purchase your new car.  I didn’t know that.  Got to watch Mars tonight (l love that series) on Nat Geo.

OMG, I cant believe its been almost 2 months since I last posted.   My bud is coming home from abroad.  Actually, he is coming back to the states after being at his Indian home for a month 🙂  Thanksgiving is past, which was kinda nice to see all the family – well, except for my one sister.  Who I would just like to re-connect with, but don’t really know how.  I don’t want to walk on egg shells.  On the home front, all I’ve been doing is working.  Our bathroom is being redone (a roll-in shower), new tile, new fixtures, bathtub removed, new toilet, new vanity, sink.  Pretty much a “gut” job.  My wife is going for an infusion of Ocrevus on Monday.  I will be working remote, so I can be with her.  I have to go to the airport on Monday so I can pick up Vikash.  He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m bring him back to Northbrook with me.  The house is a dust palace – I took some time off around the holiday’s so I can clean the place and have some time to cook.
