“Update your site! Update your site!”

OK! I’ll friggin update… As you’ve noticed, I’ve been rather absent from the cyberscene. Well, that’s because life is slightly crazy at the moment… Let’s start with the simplified list: My network is in the middle of being converted/upgraded, it’s the holidays (nuff said), I’m STILL trying to get study time for my MCP, and we’ve been doing a bit of financial reoganization. That’s kept us pretty busy around here. OH!! Silly me, I almost forgot. Rhys has croup!

Yes, that’s right, the little monster has been completely subdued by this horrible bug. He’s lost most of his voice, and writhes around in feverish agony all damn day long… into the night… into the morning… repeat as necessary… You should hear how pathetic it is when he uses what little bit of raspy voice he has left to mumble, “Teletubbies….” LOL!!!

I get to have a break from all of it at work, but Heidi is having to play the part of super mom. Rhys only wants her attention right now. I tried to play with him, or even just hold him, but he tollerates me only for maybe 10 minutes at the most. He’s pretty bad off right now. His throat looks like absolute shit. They thought he may have strepe on top of all this (tests were negative - whew)! He made a visit to the ER two nights ago and was given steroids to help with the swelling and irritation. They only lasted 36 hours. But, they sure helped out a bunch. He just had another visit to the doctor today, and is back on steroids again… Doc says he’s having such a rough time with this because of the extended intubation from the NICU… Makes sense… At any rate, homelife right now is not peachy and happy. It’s pretty fucking miserable. Oh, and I’m sick too… Thank god Heidi is not. She’s keeping us all alive, provided for, and sane. :) I have the best wife, and my son has the best mom!!

What else is new? Well, let’s see. We’ve purchased a bunch of new comfort items. :) Though, we have not yet been able to enjoy them much. It looks like I will finally be getting a bike! The only catch is this: They have the ‘05 model of the bike I want. It’s $11.8k out the door. The ‘06 model is $12.2k out the door. Insurance rates are the same for both - totally ridiculous, but the same. But, the ‘06 model is not arriving until March!!! DUDE! WTF! I don’t want to wait until March!!! So, we’ll see… I may have a new bike on Saturday, and I may not have one until March. FUCKING MARCH! I am hoping the near future will find me time to do some more work on this site and actually get it customized. I’m sick of this default layout!!! We’ll see…

Ok, I’m done. Go away. :-D
