http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose Tales of a Queer Moose Fri, 04 Jul 2008 02:58:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Finished BC's hat this evening (the one to match the scarf). 'Twas easier than the scarf, actually. I suspect that was so because it was a smaller project, as well as knowing the rib pattern already from the scarf. http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/07/03/he-can-haz-hat/ Well, fuck. I had ordered a stove a while back from one company, and it was backordered for forever, so I cancelled that order, found it at another company (and cheaper!), so placed an order there. Well, it seems that the manufacturer is no longer making that stove, so they ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/07/03/stove-madness/ Heck of a lot easier to run eight and a half miles at 70 degrees and relatively moderate humidity this morning than it was in the mid-80s with high humidity last Wednesday evening. Just sayin'. I think I'm finally beginning to appreciate sports drinks while out running and biking. It helps ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/07/02/running-food/ For some reason I've just been exhausted this week. Enough so that I finally broke down and made an appointment to go talk to my doctor in two weeks about the occasional sleep aid. I'd really like to make it through one entire night without waking up 2-3 times over ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/07/01/sleepskin/ BC's birthday was today. His sister, her partner and I took him out golfing (the first time I've golfed in over 15 years, if not more). 18 holes, and I think I got in my core workouts for the next week or two. Was a lot of fun, actually. One ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/06/29/sunny-weekend/ Went to the podiatrist today because I had a scheduled appointment to get my foot zapped (aka "Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy") to help with the plantar fasciitis, but in the end I didn't get zapped. He had given me a 2nd cortisone shot the last time I was there, about ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/06/25/not-zapped/ I know people aren't suppose to complain about this, but my pants are starting not to fit. As in, I'm shrinking out of them. And it's not like I'm not eating, because I most certainly am, yet the increase in activity is changing me. For the better, mind you, but ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/06/23/shrinkage/ Tried to go shopping today, post-pride. Wanting to not waste petrol, and since I was already warm from walking around at the pride festival, I biked over to Barracks Row to hit the local bike shop and the local yarn shop. Someone, however, had other ideas for me.Strike One: Local ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/06/15/not-meant-to-be-2/ Is it really only Tuesday? This week feels like it should be done already. Checked on the cats this evening for Richard. They're still alive. Boris was tres fussy, and Natasha was calmer than she's been in ages. Went out this weekend, had vodka for the first time in forever. ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/06/10/is-this-week-done-yet/ Hauled the shuffle out, got it all charged, then promptly left it at home this morning. Whoops. Watching the other guys working out proved to be a bit more entertaining today, anyway. While there were two guys in the weight room on Tuesday (one of whom was the other's trainer), ... http://www.countfour.org/legalmoose/2008/06/05/forgotten-things/
