Well, I went and worked out today. Did 30 minutes of walking, then attempted to use the weight machines to work on my shoulders and arms. This is the first time going to a gym in quite some time, and it’s been an experience. This entire month has been a revelatory process for me; I’ve …

Trip, Slip, Fall
Here’s a hint for all of you with stairs: do not put ointment on the bottom of your feet and then attempt to carry a baby and a laptop downstairs. In short, Saturday morning, I slipped and fell. Considering what it could have been, I’m OK. My foot slipped forward, and I fell straight down, …
Stabbing myself
I love to cook. I like taking recipes, adapting steps, and stretching the culinary portion of my abilities. Of course, this means that every so often, I do something kinda stupid. Like last night. Scenario: 8:15 p.m. Jacob had, after a no-nap day, gone to sleep. Laureen was hungry, and I had just come home …
A few updates
I’m going back for a second night at the sleep clinic. They’re going to do a CPAP Titration on me. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, and it’s considered the first treatment in sleep apnea. They’ll hook me up to an oxygen mask of some sort and see how much oxygen it takes to …
The $250 hotel stay
…Or “How Kevin went to a sleep study”. Well, my snoring, apnea, restlessness, and sleeplessness finally convinced me through Laureen’s gentle prodding to go get a sleep study done. Wouldn’t you know it, Richardson Regional Hospital has a sleep/wake clinic! In the same building as my dentist! I make an appointment, then reschedule due to …
Where we be and a few cute things from Jacob
Different doctor, different diagnosis on me: diverticulitis. Seems reasonable. I’m taking the meds and am on a mostly liquid diet for now.Jacob is getting his bangs cut today in preparation for the big cut tomorrow. Mr. Happyhair will turn into a stranger for a bit. On the way to work, I casually mentioned “the DT …

Health or lack thereof
Tough times at the Jones house. Laureen’s arguably the strongest of the three of us. Jacob’s “only” cutting a molar right now, and he just got his ibuprofen after a mad screaming fit. Sigh. Me? Oh, let’s see…. Doctor’s appointment. Blood draw. Throw up during blood draw. Tech has to do two sticks to find …
Sigh
Let’s see… last night, had dinner with Laureen and Jacob at Zuzu’s. Normally, I love Zuzu’s. But last night, it didn’t love me. Spent a good portion of time last night making trips to the bathroom. I won’t describe what happened there. Yesterday: lost a device. Fell off my desk at work and couldn’t find …
another update
Yup. Been a while. We’ve been busy.Jacob caught his first ear infection last week. Joy. I’ve been sick more weekends than not, and something finally waylaid Laureen, even though she finally kicked the nagging cough. Jacob has a lovey now, a blue dog carpet/towel thing that was a gift from our church baby shower. He …
Update #1
Update #1 Mom made it through surgery just fine. She’s in the recovery room right now. I’ve been up with them since too freakin’ early o’clock. Our house is on the market to anyone interested in a fixer-upper. Trust me, it’s a fixer-upper to the highest degree. Gotta run and attempt to get some work …
