Hot Blue Power Blasts

…ZZZZZAAAAPPPPP!!!!

Got up at the totally wretched hour of 6:30 to get ready for a 7:45 doctor appointment. Found out that, despite 21 pounds of weight loss and drastic changes to my eating habits, my blood pressure is still a bit high. The doc gave me some mild BP medicine to take for a month, then I’ll go back in for more poking & prodding. Hopefully, the weather will allow me to start walking and gardening again soon so my weight loss/excersise can resume.

I’m going up to see my mom this weekend, for my monthly visit. I’ll also be taking pictures of my dad’s old guitar (a 1942 Martin), which is apparently worth several thousand dollars to collectors. Once we get the pics looked at, we’ll know more. After that, Grace will put it up on Ebay and sell it for mom.

I’m beginning to get those restless mid-winter feelings that come each year. I really need at least a short vacation, so DunDraCon will arrive just in the nick of time…as it does every year.

This weekend will also see a major resumption in the “Bassetization” of the house, in preparation for the arrival of canine cuties in March. Not sure what Grace will be doing, but I’ll be ripping up old carpet.

And now comes the tea drinking, followed by the commuting and working.
