One Tired Blogger

My wife saved a little birdie this Sunday. She had gone out to run to the store but came back in after only a few minutes with a little chirping bird in her hand. She had saved it right before one of our cats made it lunch.

We thought of taking it to a vet but couldn’t think of one that was open on Sunday. Instead we headed off to Greater Birmingham Humane Society only to find that they didn’t open until noon (it was only 11:30 at the time so not a huge deal). We looked up the Oak Mountain Wildlife Rescue Service while we waited and decided they would be a better fit for our poor little bird.

The rescue service took our bird and should be treating him as we speak. They gave us a card with instructions on how to check on the little guy in about a week.

…. honestly that bird was super lucky as I would have let nature take its course and the cat would have been really happy

Working and taking care of the family takes up alot of time and I have to admit that not much big happens around here from day to day.

Well maybe more than I think, let’s see if I can sum up whats happened in the past month:

I enrolled in school again. This summer I’ll be taking Anatomy and Microbiology in preparation for nursing school.  I also put in my application to the nursing school (well I did that in February but I don’t think I told you that did I?). The deadline for the applications is early May so I guess we won’t know who is in until after that.

My son is having his 4th birthday this coming week and that is pretty exciting.

I just finished reading Gang Leader For a Day which was amazing, I read it in 3 days (that is extremely fast for me btw).

I haven’t really done much with EvE save to set the longest skill to training. Both accounts run out in June and I won’t be resigning them for now.

We are looking for a new place to live, there is a whole long and sorted story behind this.

Our gaming group has been playing World of Darkness with Alex running. I have to admit I miss running and don’t think I make a very good player but it beats not having a group at all and I’m learning alot watching Alex GM.

Well I guess that is it for now, cheers

The past few days have been rather hectic around here. My Granny went to the hospital after a mild heart attack last Wednesday, she is doing well now though so that is good. I took my youngest son to the hospital last night to get a rule out on an ear infection, it was fortunately ruled out. On top of all this I have to go pee in a cup on Monday because my partner dropped a patient on Saturday.

Just a ton going on but everything seems to be working out in the end.

My wife and I started watching Lost after our gaming group began playing a Lost analog (using the World of Darkness system…. not my trusty GURPS :(  )
We are really enjoying the first season. I never thought I would like it but I am truly addicted to it.

There is a lot of stuff in my head that I would like to get out onto the blog its just a matter of actually doing it. This concept of actualizing what I want to write is why I am not working as journalist

Im really tired of hearing about american polotics. It should not be this hard to find the least scuzzy scum bag to which we will give the honor of ruining our lives.

a Pox on all their houses

Trying to get a 3 year old to poo poo in the potty is a very difficult challenge. For some reason this kid just doesn’t want to use the potty.

We are trying a whole horde of methods and may resort to sticking him on there until it just happens.

He will sit on the potty, he will flush the potty. He has every step except actually using the potty. I’m blaming laziness, both his and ours. We have come round though, we are tired of changing diapers, we are putting forth a united and concerted effort to solve this issue….

VIVA LA TOILLET

Pinback has a new album out. If this works here is a little taste of MY FAVORITE BAND EVER

I finally found a shrink that takes my crappy insurance and got back onto my meds. They aren’t for psycosis or any such crazy stuff. No I have pretty bad ADD, and a bit of melancholy due to being poor…

Its only been a day with meds but I’m very hopeful about it working to make me feel better and want to get off the darn couch.

EvE side note. Despite professing that I  had quit EvE, I went out and did a mission blitz for a day or so and got my Navy Apoc. Not sure what Ill do with it but I have it finally.

The past few days have been busy at work. Yesterday we had at least 4 CVA calls….this is very odd as we normally get maybe one a week. I also got to do CPR for the first time, unfortunately the patient was DOA. Not the first dead body I’ve seen…or had to do medial work on but definitely the first CPR I’ve done.

Other than work I don’t really do too much. I game once a week and spend time with my family. Life is fairly banal at the moment.
I looked over the eve forums today and noticed that Goons seem to have BoB in their death throws. EvE has really changed over the two, almost three, years I’ve been following it. The population has grown almost 6 fold in that time. With this growth came alot of shared knowledge which in turn has made EvE less of a wild west environment and more of a big city environment. It is no longer worthwhile to venture among the low sec belts, instead you can make a mint in the missions and exploration sites. This leaves the solo pirate tired and frustrated. EvE just isn’t what it used to be….

I took my son to my mother’s library for story time today. The theme was dogs and we read 3 stories about ….you guessed it DOGS. My son had a great time singing songs and listening to the stories. I can remember going to story time when I was kid and I loved it as well. This was the first time we had gone and we will certainly be going back

I haven’t done a GURPS wrap up for this weeks game and I don’t think I will this week. Despite that I will say that we started a new campaign that I am running. It is a near future dystopian game. The players are involved with the russian mafia though none of them are actually in the mafia. The cool thing is that I set the game in Birmingham where we all live. It makes it easier to make these seem kinda real.

We are still playing the fantasy game as well, just alternating weeks.
