Complaints.

kotaotanIt's cold. The heater is on, but for some reason it never reaches into my room. I dare say my desk is the coldest spot in the house. I'm especially observant of this since I've been waking up at six so I can be at work by seven. It's really starting to wear on me. Top it off with getting off late for various reasons the last two nights and you've got an exhausted Kev.
I had the blood work done at the doctors today and it's confirmed. I'm diabetic. Hooray. My blood sugar is high, but not too high so all it's calling for is a change in my diet right now. Eventually it will require some form of medication, but for now I'm good. They gave me a free blood tester though and it's pretty cool. I only have to check my sugar once a week though, so that also good since I have this thing about needles. The diet is going to be a bit bland, but it's actually not too far off of my current eating habits. I need to change my lunch meat and switch to almost all baked goods, but other than that it shouldn't be to hard. What I'm really going to miss is carbonation. I've been trying to ween myself from them anyway but I've had a relapse the last few weeks.
The holidays are here. The intercom at work started playing Christmas music Monday. At least this time we're getting some Christmas pop and not all old 50's chestnuts like the last two or three years. I still predict a homicidal rampage on my part by the time December ends. I'll be working Thanksgiving as usual, but I'll be getting off work at one so that's a plus. I don't really have any plans though. I'll hang here with Hayman for a while and then I suppose I'll gorge myself on Mystery Science Theater if nothing else.
We've never really celebrated Thanksgiving in my family. We always just saved up and did a big dinner on Christmas Eve instead. It may sound weird, but X-Mas Eve has always been far more important to me than the day itself. It's the absolute last time you can be excited and stuff. The next day it's all just defused.
Well, I suppose that's all I've got. More later. . .

Date: 2006-11-22 02:33 am (UTC)If you or Mike...misc. strangers...have nowhere to go for Thanksgiving, you are welcomed to come to Brian's parent's house. They have a huge Thanksgiving thing every year. Lots of yummy food. I make Dave come every year too. It usually starts about 11:30 ish. If you are interested, give Dave or Scott a call. My directions really suck.
If you need mine or Brian's cell numbers, they have those too.
BTW, my favorite Christmas song is Feliz Navidad. I am so in love with that song. :)

As for Christmas songs, for some reason "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney is stuck in my head at the moment. Kill me! :)
