The Family Letter A little of what’s going on with me, some ranting, and more!

Monday Catchup

I think I need a new system.  On Thursday evenings I generally tear off Friday through Sunday's entries and take them home, knowing I might not be in the office in that time frame.  Then I blog Friday and Saturday, and lose Sunday's entry.  So I think I'll start leaving Sunday in-place and just doing it with Monday's link. 

Speaking of Monday's link, did you know that there's a hot-dog and sausage council?  Neither did I.  Now you do.  It actually has a lot of useful hot-dog related information.  I mean, who wouldn't want a brochure called "Frank facts about hot dogs?" :)

Now I'm craving a hot-dog.  Great.

The weekend was a bit of a blur, literally.  Turns out that steroids have side-effects that I was unaware of when I started taking them on Thursday.  Apparently they help reduce the swelling where the dentist dug out my tooth and that, in turn, will speed recovery.  Some of the side-effects listed are:  "Stomach upset, headache, dizziness, trouble sleeping, or weight gain may occur."  Yesterday morning during church I had the first one, and I've had a bit of dizziness on-and-off.  Trouble sleeping, though, has been the big one.  I really didn't sleep Thursday, got a bit more on Friday, no much Saturday, and did fairly well last night by forcing myself to just ignore the alarm.  But still, I haven't had much sleep since Wednesday night, so things are still a bit blurry.  Thankfully the doses are diminishing, and I take my last one tomorrow morning.

Not much else going on... The moving company sent me an e-mail today and I replied.  Some time this week they'll come by to do a walk-through and determine if my estimate is correct.  Next week I'll take a day or two to organize my various shipments and then they come to pack and move on Wednesday.  Very exciting.

I also got an address and floor plan for my home in Oklahoma.[1]  That's kind of fun.  I'm definitely going to need to make a trip to IKEA when I get there, though... It is still a lot more house than I have furniture for!
