Fowl Mood

I'm in a fowl mood !

Yesterday evening I missed Maggie's recital due to another attack of Battalion I (Intestinal Division).

I knew my attempts to stave off the attack might be in vane which was proven when Battalion I performed a flanking maneuver and attached from the rear.

There have been quite a few events I have missed in the past year but few grate on me as much as missing a performance from one of my children.

On a good note I ran thirteen and a quarter miles Saturday morning. It was a splendid run with a couple of inches of snow on the trails, snow hanging on the trees and large white flakes ambling their way to final resting points. It was a slow run, taking a full three hours, yet, I drew a great deal of satisfaction that I could do this just five weeks after surgery.

Hummm......Surgery, that reminds me of the eighteen hundred dollar bill I got just an hour ago for forty five minutes of work. This bill however is one I have no problem with, others well lets just say I have “issues”. Since I am in a bad mood I'll mention just one. To facilitate the chemo I had a port put in. It's time to have it removed, I'm going to use the same practice, same surgeon yet I have to schedule a five minute “consult” which is a fine way of saying. “Hi Mike, OK we're going to take it out, see Avery to schedule surgery. Sorry for the hour wait but the line at Starbucks was just crazy.” BTW > Two Hundred Seventy Five Dollars Please.

Dentist visit tomorrow to start another assault on the family budget, already in my head I hear, “Mike, we really should put a crown on that broken tooth” ChaChing 3K please. My answer will be that we can pull the bugger or just grind it down to where it could be stabilized.

Sorry guys for the rant but like I said I'm in a mood.

Valentine’s Day Tomorrow, at least I have a Great Valentine to share the day with.

Happy Valentine’s Day To All ........ I mean it, mood and all ....... Mike
