when the dog wakes

yeah, thinking of my favorite things cuz i am awake way earlier than intended cuz happiness reached his maximum needy point cuz jackson has been away a lot this week... i needed some water (my mistake was not bringing some into my room) and there he was sitting outside my door (if i was not looking for him i'd have stepped on him or tripped over him) and he chased me to the kitchen panting and begging at the front door... so after i got something to drink we went for a walk and now, awake way too early... by softball time tonight in 13 hours i will be sluggish and by the second game time (15 hours when i meet the toughest competition and could get hurt if i am sluggish) i will be ready for bed...

left to my own devices i'd have slept another 3-4 hours, but after a walk and the yanking on his leash he does (especially toward moving cars, trickier now that the retractable leash is broken) i am awake...

meanwhile, the stomach and urinary tract are kinda queasy... and the hemmorrhoid, while much better, is lingering... the continued granular sediment flowed out last couple of times i peed... is it diet?... increased exercise?... stress?... lack of consistent sleep?... dropping weight?... sugar?... tomato sauce?... spices?... meat?... chili?... vitamins?... not enough water?... something in the water?... cold water?... kidney deterioration?... air conditioning?... hemmorrhoid medication?... what am i leaving out?... a lot, probably... so what's the remedy?...

increased filtered water?... no more external water?... reduce what?... increase what?... change what?... start with the increased filtered water... consider moving back to drinking only distilled water... continue dropping weight... smaller meals... micro-balance meals... sleep more consistently (that would be good, if happiness cooperates)... that's it, don't want to change too much at once...

good morning, huh? :}

could be all of the above .

could also be worth getting your blood calcium and parathyroid hormone levels checked out :)

i hope you feel better and do the things that you can do to take care of you.

When I have a job and health insurance, I intend to get a full check up... it's been a couple of years, so i'm due... the stones are uric acid, not calcium oxide, but calcium and thyroid and a whole lot more are on my list of check-up requests... sonogram and possible cat scan or mri of kidneys and bladder are on the list too... and of the neck... and the ear... and the arm... and the colonscopy and other over 50 tests... yup, gonna make good use of health insurance once i have some again...

for now, i home remedy me :)

Catch up (and know more)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
