Dad's B-day

Today is my step-father's birthday. He's still depressed from his brother's death.

Baby dates

Today he's 40 weeks old.

Mom's B'day

Today is my mother's birthday. I didn't send her flowers or a gift since she really doesn't care for those things. She likes cards, so we sent her one from us and one from our son.

Baby sitting

I'm on baby sitting duties since my wife went out to dinner with a friend. I enjoy spending time with our son so I don't mind at all.

I get a kick out of hearing him laugh.

More car woes

I need to get new tires for my car since my tires are balding. I could live with that a little longer but now one of the tires is bulging out and ready to blow out.

I just picked up some Michelin's at Sears. Hopefully they'll last a bit. The city roads really give tires a beating.

Sunday rest

Really getting into Knights of the Old Republic 2. I didn't play the original game but I think I will since this one is really alot of fun. Good story and decent game play.

Another quick trip

We went out later in the day to look for Sims 2 expansion pack for my wife and the Knights of the Old Republic 2 for me.

I ended up getting Lego's Star Wars, I guess mostly because of the review on X-Play. It's a fun show to watch. Adam Sessler gets the oddball role on the show.

A few software packages and I walk out the door spending $147.32. If I had seen another 141 I would have gone straight to the local Pick 3 vendor.

My wife went back into the software store and bought the PSP unit and the Spiderman 2 game.

That totally threw off my 14x streak.

Quick trip

We stepped out to Babies R Us today to get a few items for the baby, diapers, formula, baby food, etc. A few things here and there and it comes out to $141.55.

Geez

New Pope

Today they install Pope Benedict. I'll watch the replay, I didn't get up at 4:00 a.m. to watch it live.

Baby dates

He is now 39 weeks old.

Groceries

We went out to the supermarket for groceries. A few things here and there came out to $141.35

Follow-up

I had an appointment with the doctor today as a follow-up to my "surgery". They took my blood and did a CT scan to make sure the infection is gone completely. It was a very long day and much probing was performed. The doctor opened up the wound again to get the little pus that was still in the wound.

I didn't get out of there until 1:45 in the afternoon. The doctor said I was in good condition but he wanted to see me again in 4 weeks. Makes me wonder because if I'm ok why am I going back?

First Full Day

First full day since leaving the hospital. It was very exhausting and after a day of sitting and standing and sitting and walking and sitting and climing stairs I was wiped out.

I need to lay down and take it easy.

Car inspected

I picked up my car today. New exhaust system. New front brakes, fluids changed, oil changed and a tune up on the engine. One Thousand dollars. Egads!!

Sunday rest

I could not attend church this morning. My wound causes me so much pain and discomfort, the pews would be agony. Likewise I can't remain standing for long periods of time.

Pope John Paull II passes

We heard the news that Pope John Paul II died today. We have recently returned to church services and while I am not particularly a fanatic about it, there is a feeling of loss. This Pope did quite a few things in the 20 someodd years of his tenure.

Doctor Visit

We had a pediatrician's visit today. Our son is now 29 1/2 inches tall and 23 lbs. at 9 months. No shots today. Lucky for him.

We can start giving our son a few solid foods and pureed vegetables. No nuts or berries yet.

Car inspection

I took my car in to the mechanic for an annual inspection, oh boy.

My exhaust system and my brakes need more work than I anticipated. My car won't be ready until Monday

Baby dates

He's now 38 weeks old.

Home

I was released from the hospital today. I'm taking 2 different types of anti-biotics: Cipro and Metronidazole (I can't even pronounce it) and Tylenol with Codeine for pain.

I have a big hole going from my right cheek to my anus to allow as much pus to leak out. It is so far painful and uncomfortable to sit.

Work should be interesting.
