Livin' La Vida Loca

I actually saw a bit of blue sky this morning but the day quickly turned into our typical tropical hot and muggy rainy day with swarms of mosquitoes.

Did the gym once I was caffeinated and then spent just another mundane day of work.

I seem to be slowing returning to my old healthy self but I feel like a blob after not going to the gym or doing much besides feeling sick for the past three or four weeks. I guess the older you get the more getting sick kicks your ass.

I found a whimsical use for the old iMac G5 that was given to me in a trade. I installed 7art Ethnic Clock screensaver and put it in a wall unit without a keyboard or mouse so it just sits there showing the time. I can still control the Mac using screen sharing from another Mac or use the iPhone app ControlPad so it's not an issue that it doesn't have its own keyboard and mouse. Originally I was going to have it show pictures the way my AppleTV does but between its tiny 17" screen and disappointing options for showing pictures like the AppleTV does it ended up being just a clock. I'll probably put other screensavers on it or have it show pics if I can find something that shows them the way the AppleTV does. I would also like to set it up so that sound wakes the screen instead of having it on all the time but so far I haven't figured out how to do that.

I feel fat... I've done nothing for the past few weeks except feel lousy and sit around stuffing my face with comfort food while lounging around in a big tank top pounding the keyboard.

I'm finally started to feel myself again... Returned to the gym yesterday and then afterwards went into the back yard to take care of my birds and put corn in the squirrel feeder. When I pulled on the squirrel feeder to remove the old eaten ear of corn the tree branch that it was attached to broke off, fell on me, broke apart into bits of rotten wood and covered me in termites and fire ants. Then as I was cleaning up the mess and rehanging the squirrel feeder it started raining really hard which was just as well as it washed all the nasties off of me.

I'm so sick of hearing about Michael Jackson. Maybe if I had been a big fan I would have more interest but I never bought any of his music and, while I think he was one of the music greats, I find it so odd the way all of a sudden the media is loving him again.

Spent all day today pounding the keyboard inside safe from the rain and mosquitoes. Christy wants to play racquetball this evening and I guess the exercise would be good for me but I'm still sore as hell from yesterday's backyard adventure so I'm not sure if I'll make it or not.

My coffee absentee experiment ended yesterday afternoon with a delicious Americanized cup of espresso.

Right after I had enjoyed drinking coffee again my doctor called and put me on Levaquin for three days. $52 dollars for three pills although I did use the online coupon for $15 off since my insurance didn't want to pay for them. It's making my ears ring, my skin is lizard like and my mind is like putty from it but at least I'm caffeinated again. Levaquin is seems to be an antibiotic from hell so I sure hope it kills the urinary track infection that keeps on coming back.

We have been having storms from hell almost every day. I guess it is a good thing that I'm replacing the storm shutters next week on all ten of the windows facing our backyard although with the way the economy has been I really don't need the extra expensive.

Yesterday I replaced the bird feeder that was destroyed in the last storm. Maybe I should get storm panels for it too.
