Love is the answer
I heard this song yesterday and remembered how much I loved it. Even as a child I loved it and it wasn't until I was an adult that I really knew what it meant! I looked over the videos available but settled on this one.

A little better...
Here we are at Monday again.. I have tomorrow off so Monday isn't too bad for me this week. I really need to start school shopping. The weather continues to be rainy and stormy. I'm not complaining however, its better than scorching heat and humidity.
Sarah and I have been thinking about a type of party for her and we came up with a Fear Factor party. The guests perform different tasks like getting handcuffed and then having to retrieve a key out of a bucket of worms and bugs etc.. Making gross shakes out of different ingrediants and then switching them with something that isn't really made out of those things, out of their view of course! Also the "dirty diaper" where they have to just use their mouths to fish bubble gum out of a diaper filled with yellow food coloring and chocolate pudding. The first one to blow a bubble wins. I think it will be fun with a bunch of squeally little girls!
I'm excited the Washington County Fair will be starting soon. I love the tractor pulls and hope to get some pictures from this year on here. My camera is broken pretty good now. It takes pictures but won't turn off and upload to the computer. I think its time for a new one.
Almost time to get ready for work. I hope everyone has a good day! Linda

Pain, pain, pain
Gotta love that! You can tell who the boss is in that cage! Anyhow I am very uncomfortable this morning and that doesn't bode well for the rest of the day. It could just be the way I'm sitting in this hard-ass kitchen chair. I need a regular computer chair. Maybe I'll see if my work is throwing any out. They change office equipment like its underwear.
A fellow journaler asked me about my hernia. This is the hopefully easy to understand explanation of my type of hernia.
I have either an inguinal or femoral hernia. They develop in the groin area. My last two hernias were on the left side. My first was an inguinal and my second a femoral. The pain feels like menstrual cramps to stabbing pains that radiate down my leg. They are repaired under local and general anesthisia where I am given something by IV which knocks me out. The incision is around 3-4 inches long and they repair the muscle tear with a mesh. It is considered a day surgery and they send you home shortly after. I do not do well after these surgeries. I vomit and have intense pain which is barely relieved by the medication they give me. Recovery time is about 6 weeks for someone in my line of work. Probably less for someone who has a desk job. Up and moving around after a couple days and can drive. It hurts. They told me "mild discomfort", but my ceserians were easier than these! Probably because I was in the hospital hooked up to the magic button machine! So I am a little cranky today and no I don't have a PMS. LOL
There was a big storm that rolled through Saratoga yesterday with so much rain and hail that the streets flooded and part of the dirt track at the racecourse had washed out. They actually closed the track for the rest of the day. They did hand out vouchers for patrons to come another day, but I think they probably would of prefered to wait the hour it took for the track to be fixed and watch the races they came to see.
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Linda

Happy 08/08/08
Good Morning! Is everyone going to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony tonight? I plan on it.
I haven't had a good week. I may have yet another hernia. This time on the right side. I had one two years ago and one 10 years before that both on the left. If this one is a hernia, I'm going to have the surgeon patch up the whole area! I am going to see the same surgeon for the hernia that I'm seeing for the gallbladder. Maybe they can fix them both at the same time.
I am tired of hurting and feeling sick all the time. I have no energy and no desire to do anything.
We have been having alot of rain and thunderstorms. Travis rode his bike to work yesterday and ended up getting soaked and pelted with hail on his way home yesterday! Now he doesn't want to ride to work anymore! Can't say I blame him! He only has 3 weeks left to work. Not much else going on. Everyone have a lucky day!

Wild baby bunny
This morning I was treated to the show of Tiger chasing down and tackling a baby cottontail rabbit!
This is not the actual rabbit, but one that looks similar. In the excitement I forgot to take pictures. I ran outside and yelled at him and he dropped it. I went over and saw it was still alive and apparently uninjured except for a patch of missing fur. I picked it up and brought it inside for Sarah to see. We considered keeping it for a pet, but after some research online I realized this was not a good choice as it would most likely die in captivity. We released it in a small field close to the woods and it bounded right away! I am hoping Tiger will stop bringing down rabbits! The landlord has said that people have seen fox right in the park here too. I am worried because Tarzan is gone again and has been since yesterday afternoon. I hope he comes back.
