And what the fuck is this bullshit about brooms standing upright? Seriously? How do you know your broom didn't stand on end two weeks ago before all this solar storm shit? That's right - you have no fucking clue because you never thought to try it then, did you?! And yes, of course I tried it. I have no idea what you are supposed to do though, so it tipped. If it would have remained upright, I would have tossed it outside and locked the door behind it... I used to be scared to death of this scene from The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia. Hmmm, apparently I still am. Anyway.
So. I had to dust off the cobwebs when I got back here. Hard to believe six weeks have passed since I was here. Long and short of it? Just fucking tired. I am getting over bronchitis, dealing with my first 'at fault' car accident (very minor, no one hurt, but car repairs), working some overtime, fitting in lots of doc appointments, FINALLY got the fucking heart monitor... *sigh*. Two weeks left and I've been reacting to both types of electrode pads... my skin is burned and abraded and there is not a thing I can do about it. Other than take the leads off, which is NOT about to happen until I run out of places to put them. Suppose I should be grateful that I am not waif-like and that I have some surface area to work with. ;)
I'm also working on a couple of websites just transferring information, however, I will be contributing articles in the near future. Soon I will be putting up links and asking you to take a peek. Nothing major, just fan sites for The Trews... the kind that are information based and not all gushing. Shows, reviews, photos, contests ~ that sort of thing. But it would be nice if you'd take a peek whenever I get my scattered self up to speed enough to post them. I will be seeing them for two shows in Toronto in less than two weeks!
I've been enjoying my Lake Erie Monsters quite a bit lately, both with games and charity events. Attended two separate charity events and had the opportunity to meet and talk with some of the players. I could have talked to all of them if I chose, but really, that would've been like an assembly line and I preferred actually having the time to talk with some, not just walk by all of them, essentially. This coming weekend I have back to back games on Friday and Saturday nights. I am not a St. Patrick's Day bar-goer. That is amateur night 2.0 (New Year's Eve being the original...) and I don't suffer drunken fools well. So instead, hockey is it ~ they are painting the ice green, after all!
Will have to spend some time tomorrow cruising around blogland - for now it is lights out. Besides, that whole broom thing is starting to freak me out. That means I'm in need of sleep.

OUCH! to the reaction to the pads - I had the same thing when wearing the monitor 24-7. Big red welts all over my chest. And that was just 48 hours, sounds like you've had them much more. Sounds like life is chucking plenty brickbats your way. Again.
It's making me wince just thinking about it..
GD - Not the most fun I've had as I'm sure you can attest to. The monitor I have os a 30 day monitor and I've just hit the 2 1/2 week mark. The first type of pads welted and burned my skin, making it very red and sore. The 2nd pads have this small area covered by a layer of foam, but the foam breaks down and where it thins, I think the metal is too close and my skin has just sloughed off. So it is basically like an abrasion. It hurts, but also, being so fair, my skin will be marked for at least 6 months... kind of like crop circles, lol. I just keep waiting for a call from the Cardiologist's office that says they have enough info and I can send it back. Until then, I just have to deal with it. It truly could be worse, and the newer pads aren't as painful as the first ones. Thankfully you didn't have to wear yours longer... I'm not sure how you'd have done it. You reaction sounds worse than mine as mine is limited to just the areas where they are stuck on me.
