had an enjoyable before-school-begins "blowout" with the spawnlings last weekend - CheapSkate on Satyr's Day, UrbanAir on Tsunday, & just relax ( well, I tried! ) on Monday/Holiday :)
thought it'd wear 'em out... but they had their 4th/5th winds by each evenin' *laughs* - go figure! so gettin' 'em to finally crash was an effort unto itself !
and - like any weekend/time with...

Knowing Me... Part The Second
* I have lived in or within a mile of Minnesota my entire life - currently I live the farthest south I've ever lived ( obviously not that far )
* there are areas of/near the state that I only lived for months, if not weeks... when younger I had a bit of wanderlust that kept me moving often, when...

Knowing Me...
* I was born colourblind - completely colourblind ( or so I was told, since I can't see colours, it's kinda hard to gauge how bad it is ;) )
* I've had heart issues since birth, though it wasn't recognized 'til I was around 15 after my elderly doctor died and the new one "discovered" it [ bicuspid aeortic valve & aeortic...

This ever-lovin' brain of mine has begun churning in a vacational direction again...
NO, my vacation time hasn't re-set itself ( yet )
and NO, I will not be taking another vacation this year - sorry to disappoint ;)

AND while I'm not one to look ahead vacationally ( or directionally ), at least normally, due to cost factors, times/dates, & etc being...

while my voice hasn't completely returned, I can speak a bit more than a whisper this am ( which is all I could do yesterday and day prior )...
hopefully this is a good sign that whatever hit me is running its course... though I admit the humour aspect :)
could've been from either whatever has been making its rounds around work - or from...

IF I intend on going anywhere today, it'll need to be somewhere that there's no people to talk to - not that I'm anti-person today but that I am (still) unable to speak more than a whisper and even THAT takes effort and is painful *sighs*

twice today when asked for advice/help on something I responded with "it's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of your rival" - probably not the answers they were seeking, but couldn't get it out of my head :D

because someone asked : yes, it did take me awhile to learn how to smile without showing teeth as it wasn't something I was used to doing but with how people ( strangers and thankfully only a couple friends ) reacted to the damage when I did I had to... I still do by accident :(

Happy Last Day Of July !... and moving on ;)

Just as I've always had an aversion to the cold, even before the damage which makes it particularly painful, I've had a physical predilection towards particular scents and textures...
and aversions in the same regard

certain scents & textures can have completely physical affects upon me - positively, but more often, it seems, negatively

new wireless router/modem now running - with only a minor hiccup (had to call so they could verify the new modem - and it helps if I plug into the right port... the old one only had the one port for phone/dsl !) ... already running much faster - and wireless appears better, too

wolfox:
I'm actually reaching the speeds I'm supposed to now with my dsl  ( my download speed is now higher than what the service claims *laughs* - shhh, don't tell them! )
