I didn't feel great today, but I've felt worse. I didn't really get anything done that I wanted to, other than cleaning my window unit air conditioner filter. I guess that leaves me more to do later, so it'll take longer to get bored from lack of chores...lol...or something... Days like today are almost worse than when I'm completely out of it. I'm okay enough to kinda get around, sorta pay attention, but not good enough to do much that's very meaningful. I think I'm starting to feel up to doing something, then as soon as I try to stand up: nope, not meant to be. At least at the worst, there's no ambiguity. Of course, then I feel that much worse. Enh...
I'm really hoping I feel better tomorrow. I gotta root on my Irish, of course! I think it'll be a good game, but as long as we score at least one more point than Purdue, I'll take it, no matter how ugly it might look. It'll be interesting to see how the new schemes work out. I think we're talented enough to do it, so it's just a matter of buying into the system, trusting the coaches, and executing. From what I've heard, practice has gone well, so now it's just time to see how it translates to the game. GO IRISH!
After the game, the plan is to go see Machete with a friend. It looks like a good, bloody time. My Facebook and Twitter peeps seem to be confirming that so far. Even if it's horrible, I'm pretty sure that I won't be bored ;). Plus, it gets me out of the house, even if I am just sitting in another building.
Have a super Saturday! Domers at the game: Cheer extra for me! I'll be there in spirit and I'll be loud here!
GO IRISH! BEAT BOILERS!

OK...
Today was alright. A friend came over to watch the (2nd half of the) Colts preseason game. It was nice to hang out, as always. She brought pizza, which is rarely, if ever, a bad move ;). After the game, we chit-chatted and watched TV for a bit, trying to get music from my PC to her iPhone without using iTunes (which doesn't work well on my computer for some reason). We couldn't get it to work, so we're trying something else.
I caught the Bellator fights on tape delay after she left. There were some OK fights, then there was the main event. OMG! Joe Soto lit up Joe Warren BAD in the first round. He hit him with whatever he wanted and Warren had no answer. It was EASILY a 10-8 round. Then Soto came out and got cute in round 2, got clipped, scrambled and got up, then a beautiful knee/left hook combo got him for good. He woke up asking, "What happened?" I thought Soto would win, and round 1 solidified that, but Warren's no joke. That was a very impressive win for Warren. The event was in Texas, which didn't do a good job when Strikeforce was there recently. The officiating/judging was just fine this time, which is good. Maybe they learned from their mistakes. Let's hope.
I got nothing going on Friday since the Fever lost. I'm hoping to get a few things done, though. I'd like to straighten up my room, do a little laundry, make a couple calls and all that. I'd like to go through my card collection to make a record of what I have, at least a decent overview. I still haven't looked up if there are any free guides to what they're worth, yet, but I need to know what's in the boxes, too. I'm sure there's something else that I'm forgetting. Hopefully I remember when it counts.
Then, Saturday, it's GAME DAY!!!! I can't wait. I was thinking about actively posting (FB/Twitter) during the game, and catching what others were saying, but that'll probably just make me dizzy with all the back and forth head/eye movement between my PC and the TV. And now that the TV timeouts are going to be shorter...lol...I probably won't be as active as I was considering. Social media has really changed the viewing experience, though. If I weren't so OCD about needing to see everything that's being posted (by those I follow, anyway), I think I'd enjoy it more instead of feeling this weird obligation. It's all good...I can stop whenever I want to :P.
Happy Friday, be good, have fun, GO IRISH!!!!

The Fever lost :(
The good news of the day is that I caught up on some sleep. I don't feel very refreshed from it, but I guess it's better than not having slept. I'll take it. Also, my buddy stopped by to help me look at my sports cards. We still have no idea what they're worth, but at least he has a better idea of what I have. That goes for both of us, actually, since I hadn't looked at them in forever. The next step is determining their value (any help would be much appreciated!!!). I'll be looking around online to see if there's any free place (I've just been lazy about searching) that can help. If push comes to shove, I guess I can go to a card shop and see what's offered there.
The bad news is that the Fever lost, so our ("our," even in defeat) season is now over. It's disappointing, but I'm still proud of the gals. We were just too inconsistent and gave up too many rebounds. Not being able to hit a shot down the stretch didn't help, nor did some less-than-stellar officiating. If we hit a couple more shots and/or stop them a few more times, then the whistles wouldn't matter as much. Live and learn, watch out for us next year!
It'll be interesting what we do in the offseason. Especially after re-signing a bunch of players already recently, I doubt we'll make any major moves. The only can't-miss college prospect I can think of is Maya Moore from UConn (oh, how it hurts to type that), and unless we make a huge deal, we're not getting her. I'm not sure if (veteran Aussie PG) Tully Bevilaqua is coming back, but I think it's more likely that she gives it one more year. That's not a done deal, though. Whatever happens, I'll be there to cheer them on next summer!
So now it's Phoenix and Seattle out west, and Atlanta and New York in the east. I don't like NY or Phoenix, so I guess I'm rooting for Atlanta over Seattle in the Finals. Seattle's won before, plus a successful team in the ATL would be good. I do hope for good TV ratings the rest of the way, whoever wins. The WNBA needs support, the players deserve it (most of them, anyway), and the more popular the league is, the healthier it is, and the better it is for the Fever.
There's the Colts preseason game tomorrow. I hear that the starters won't play. I'll tune in, just because it's football. Hopefully those who do play represent themselves well as they fight for roster spots and playing time. Maybe a guy will stick out and make an impact. Because of a college football game, the Bellator fights will be tape-delayed on Fox Sports. I was under the impression that wouldn't happen anymore, but whatever. I'll just have to avoid the results for a few hours. I'm not sure who else is on the card, but the main event is interesting: Joe Soto (champ) vs. Joe Warren for the 145 pound title. Soto won Bellator's the first tournament for that weight class, and Warren the second one earn the title shot. I've heard good things about Soto, but haven't seen him fight, yet. He was a college roommate of Jon "Bones" Jones, and actually got him into MMA. Warren is a world class wrestler and a tough dude, so it'll be a good scrap.
And Notre Dame kicks off the season on Saturday against Purdue! I'm really excited for that! I like what I've seen and heard from Coach Kelly so far, and I think we have a decent team returning from last year. It'll be interesting to see how the adjustments to/by new coaching regime work out. I think Purdue will be a good test, too. I really wish I could be there to catch the game in person. I haven't been back to campus in so long.
Whoa, I just realized that it's been since the fall of 2002. I've been too sick and broke to make the boring trip up US 31 since. I've heard and read and seen pictures of how much the campus has changed with new buildings and everything. I can't believe it was 13 years ago that my parents dropped me off at my dorm, the great Sorin College (GO OTTERS!!!). Wow...was it really that long ago? I still miss sitting on the porch swings people watching, avoiding the sprinklers at night (even when it was already raining), watching the sunset while walking to the dining hall, the excitement of football Saturdays. I don't miss early classes, homework, not being able to do homework because my eyes hurt, those damn bells every 15 minutes from the Basilica (which is right next to Sorin for non-Domers), alumni barging into my room while I was getting dressed on football Saturdays showing their kids and grandkids where they lived as undergrads, parietals (opposite sex out of non-public dorm space after midnight on weekdays, 2AM weekends), or underclassmen who can't hold their liquor. I miss being around people, being around smart people, walking around the lakes, cheering at the games (and not just football for me), working the late shift at the Huddle Mart, having more of a future to look forward to. I don't miss getting hit in the nuts every time I did the push-ups after an ND score, but I do miss being in that situation ;).
Thanks to the Fever for a good summer, my only consistent out-of-the-house distraction! We'll get'em next year! And I'll do my best to hook more people into coming out and support you like you deserve! Now it's time for football season, so GO COLTS! And, more importantly, GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a productive day...
It was kinda crazy with the lack of sleep and last minute scheduling, but the day was productive. I saw both lawyers, didn't have to take the bus, and caught up on some sleep. The SSI appointment answered the couple of questions I had. The whole process is still ridiculous, but there's no way around that, apparently. The malpractice appointment went well. I've been advised not to talk about it, though, so I won't, other than to say that it's nice to feel validated that I was wronged.
The Fever play tonight at NY, 7:30PM EDT, NBA TV (or online, WNBA Live Access). The series is tied, winner advances, loser goes home. Since Atlanta beat Washington, the winner also has home court in the next round, starting Friday night. Seattle and Phoenix go at it out west. I like our chances against anyone as long as we play our game, rebound, and hit shots. The last game against NY got rather chippy with all of the physical play, and I hope that keeps the fire burning to really jump on them again. GO FEVER!!!

I'm tired and woozy, so it's short and sweet this time. Have a great day :)!

Mom's OK
Today was mostly about Mom. She had a liver transplant in March, and like many who go through that, she needed a little tweaking. They wanted to put in a stint between her liver and bile duct to get better flow through there. It was an endoscopic procedure, going in through her mouth and working their way down. Everything was fine until they got into her pancreas. Apparently the route they took got a little too bloody, and they couldn't see with the camera, so instead of trying to force their way through and risk her bleeding more, they cut their losses. They left the stint in her pancreas (I guess that's OK), and they'll go in next week to finish the job. Mom wasn't too much worse for the wear afterward--the bleeding wasn't bad--just a bit sore and tired and hungry, but mostly unhappy that she'll have to do it all over again.
I dilly-dallied at home for most of the day. I crashed after the game Sunday, then got up at 4AM or so to take my meds and ended up staying up. My original plan was to see Mom off in the morning, take a shower, then go back to bed, keeping the phone close so I could answer. Too, I'd get up to let the dogs out as needed. I ended up messing around online and watching TV, and didn't go to bed until after noon. I didn't sleep well, either, worrying about Mom and just not being able to get comfortable. My back's bugging me again, which doesn't help.
I wanted my step-dad to call me to let me know when she was back to the recovery room so I would know that things went alright (or not). That didn't happen. Then they didn't let me know when they got home. They were unusually quiet and I didn't hear the dogs whining, either. I got up to take my medicine and to let the dogs out when I saw my mom. I got a quick overview of what went on from her, but few details because she was out of it when they explained it and still not quite with it when she was talking to me. Relieved, I went back to bed and slept a couple hours more.
Once I was up, I did my usual not much...more messing around online, chatting a bit, and just sitting here. I'd made tentative plans to see my lawyers on Tuesday, pending Mom's condition, but since they didn't tell me she was home in time, I have to wait until the morning (a couple of hours from now as I write this) to finalize those plans. It might be a rough day depending on when they can squeeze me in. I should have gone to bed awhile ago, but just didn't. I should have started getting my stuff together sooner, too, but, again, just didn't. Hopefully I'll get at least a couple hours sleep, and if I meet them in the afternoon, I should get a few more (assuming I actually sleep).
I'm shooting for 2 appointments--one with my SSI lawyer to get some of that figured out, and the other with medical malpractice folks to see about my options against those who missed the tumor on an MRI in 2003. The SSI appointment should go fairly easily. I already know what I want to get out of it. The malpractice consultation will be a little trickier because I'm not sure what questions they'll have for me. They've not decided to take my case yet, still seeing if they think it'll be worth it. And I'm not sure whether or not I want to proceed. I'm not a litigious person, and I'm not sure how differently things would have gone had they actually looked at the scans (see below--notice a big lump on one side, but not the other?), but knowing sooner could only have helped. Plus, I wouldn't have had to deal with everyone who said I was faking (and all who thought so are still assholes).
We'll see, I guess. I just keep my fingers crossed that I'm coherent and don't feel too horrible. It'll be a lot easier for me if my step-dad can drive. I'd rather not take the bus, but it's my only other option. The bus isn't too bad, but it's going to be hot again, plus I don't really have the money to spare. It'll add at least an hour to my commute, too, which isn't ideal.
I'll keep you posted. I don't expect anything earth-shattering today, but getting a step or two closer to getting things together (or just having a better feel for the situation, anyway) will be worthwhile progress. Plus, it'll be nice to get out of the house.
Take care, have a great day, and thanks for all of the well wishes for my mom :)!

FEVER WIN!
The Fever won in a very physical game. I'd have gotten into a few fights had I been playing, but the gals kept their composure. Now it's back to NYC on Wednesday, do or die for both teams.
http://www.wnba.com/fever
I didn't feel good at all. My stomach's bugging me, plus I was extra woozy. I didn't sleep well again. Had it not been a playoff game, I would have stayed home. The game atmosphere helped me to feel better. Adrenaline does wonders. We played pretty well, for the most part, too, which was a plus. Bad officiating (again, ugh) didn't. I'll take the W anyway it comes, though. And, as always, it was good to get out of the house. Having good company (brought a friend along with my brother, plus the usual Fever friends) was nice, too :).
I crashed shortly after getting home. I'd planned on crashing a little earlier than I did, but I decided to do a little PC maintenance beforehand, and, of course, instead of taking 20 minutes, it took 90 (before I gave up). It kills me how much trouble it is for me to try to do good things for my computer. I really can't wait to get a new one.
Mom just left a bit ago to have a procedure done. She should be home this afternoon/evening. It's a common, not-too-serious thing for liver transplant recipients. They've discussed doing it before, and I'm not sure why they didn't, especially while they kept her admitted for a week not long ago. Please send positive vibes to her. :)

UFC 118
The other day, I slept through a wall demolition, yet, last night (for me, anyway), I couldn't sleep much at all. There was a lot of noise from talking, cooking, and door slamming (SOOOOOO unnecessary, as I've OFTEN shown them), etc., plus it just didn't seem meant to be. I'm a bit surprised that I'm still up considering. I wasn't quite as woozy, though, which was nice, though I didn't feel great (not sleeping didn't help). Having the fights to look forward to did make me feel a bit better, as did going back to once a day on that medicine, I'm thinking.
Downtown was crazy with all of the motorcycle stuff going on, and many streets were blocked. We looked around for 30 minutes for somewhere to park before settling on the mall parking garage. The whole area was packed, but Buffalo Wings and Rings had quite a few tables open when we got there. It took a minute to get Spike TV in our booth, but it got switched in plenty of time to see the fights. A nice surprise, my buddy and his girl ended up joining us as their previous plans fell through. I'm glad they found us. She recognized my visor through the window, which I find funny ;).
The fights weren't terribly exciting, overall, but I'll never complain too much about that. Those guys (and sometimes gals, though no women in the UFC) risk their health and potentially more, and they all could kick my ass (well, most of them, anyway :D). I didn't do great on my picks this time. Most of my guys had off nights, partially due to the success of their opponents, for sure. I'm not too bummed about any of the results as those who deserved to win (based on their respective performances) won.
It was cool to get out of the house again, as it always is. This will be 2 weekends in a row that I got out both days. The Fever are tomorrow (well, technically, later today...Sunday, anyway). Game time is 8PM, come cheer on the ladies! It's do or die, win or go home: http://www.feverbasketball.com/ for ticket info.
Be good, be cool, and may the world be good and cool to you.

A nice surprise, my buddy and his girl ended up joining us as their previous plans fell through. I'm glad they found us. She recognized my visor through the window, which I find funny ;).
The fights weren't terribly exciting, overall, but I'll never complain too much about that. Those guys (and sometimes gals, though no women in the UFC) risk their health and potentially more, and they all could kick my ass (well, most of them, anyway :D). I didn't do great on my picks this time. Most of my guys had off nights, partially due to the success of their opponents, for sure. I'm not too bummed about any of the results as those who deserved to win (based on their respective performances) won.
It was cool to get out of the house again, as it always is. This will be 2 weekends in a row that I got out both days. The Fever are tomorrow (well, technically, later today...Sunday, anyway). Game time is 8PM, come cheer on the ladies! It's do or die, win or go home: http://www.feverbasketball.com/ for ticket info.
Be good, be cool, and may the world be good and cool to you.
