What is in your cup?

[Stitchawl]

Four and Twenty years ago
I come into this life,
the son of a woman
And a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor
And he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like a devil to be more.

A different kind of poverty now upsets my soul
Night after sleepless night
I walk the floor and I want to know
Why am I so alone?
Where is my woman, can I bring her home?
Have I driven her away?
Is she gone?

It seems like yesterday... but yesterday's gone.

Good morning, all. Warmed up a bit to 6° today, so I'm drinking Keemun tea to start my morning, and eating a grilled chicken breast with some rice. Well, half of one. But I used so much Cajun spices when I made it, it's sharp enough to flavor three bowls of rice!

Going looking for banking services today. I need to find a bank who's ATM doesn't charge large fees for international withdrawals. We'll be moving on soon, and I don't want to put too much money into Thai banks. I'd rather leave it in Japan and only take out what I need for a month or two at a time. But between currency conversions fees and ATM fees, there can be some major lose incurred unless I can work out the best way to deal with it.

Oh, dear, really?

I have known so many people with pnuemonia this year! What's up with that? Anyway, take your medicine and feel better soon.

I got a cortisone shot in my shoulder today. I injured it a few weeks ago trying to get the wheelchair through a heavy door, and I haven't had a chance to get it checked out until now. Unfortunately, my shoulder is now frozen and I have to schedule physical therapy.

Take it slow & easy now betty! It's time to take care of yourself!

Re: pneumonia - too many people (IMHO) keep coming to work when they have a cold/flu - and get exposed to other bugs - and don't take the time to get well - so they get worse & worse ... and keep going. One of my co-workers is out with walking pneumonia - developed after a case of flu!

I never even had the cold or the flu. Just a cough. No temperature, no stuffy nose, just the cough.

Frozen shoulders suck. Take care of yourself.

Since we call it frozen shoulder you should be able to pour hot cocoa on it and make it better!

Yuck. No fun. Anything you can do to keep Lucas from getting it?

actually Lucas getting it now would be beneficial, building antibodies against yuckies at a young age helps a lot

[ProfCrash]

Lucas cannot get it from me, it is a progression from cold or flu to bronchitis to pneumonia. Given that we are anal with any cough from him and take him to the Doctor after a fewcdays, he is unlikely to make that progression.

More likely than not, I got the original illness from him. I should have gone to the Doctor last week.

I take back what I said about summer's arrival, it's now pouring with rain and forecast to continue for the next three days. Looks like Carols by Candlelight on Thursday will be a bit damp, just hope the stage has a roof so we don't get wet, can't manage a brolly and an instrument together.

I'm off to get a Bombay Sapphire while I get my tea ready. Anyone care to join me?

[amward]

Prof and Betty, I hope you both recover soon.

I do believe I will! I haven't have any alcohol in a week or so. I'm due. And a very nice choice indeed! Cheers!

Me too! And please... don't kiss me until you do. I really hate winter colds!

Stocking up the cabinet with single malts! I'm going out in style! Enough single malt and I won't even notice it when it happens! Sláinte!

[ProfCrash]

I am taking all sorts of drugs!

Wait, they are not the fun drugs.

Damnit, I am totally screwing this up....
