I’m about out of options for the misses. I’m not going to spend the whole time writing about her you know what, but think next week I’m going to have to take her to see Dr. Cornman in Vail. Maybe just maybe, the cortisone shot will miraculously work over the weekend and she’ll kick this thing. We’re sure hoping so.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, yup, you guessed it, I boxed up some more wine and shipped it off this time to Florida. A few errands, 4 or 5 phone calls to Germany and before you knew it, it was time to pick up the boys. Then at 4:30 it was off to Krav Maga until 6pm. A quick dinner, some snuggling (that means all 4 of us in the same bed) and soon everyone went to sleep.<\/p>\n
I slept until a bit after 5 which was nice as I’d been getting up around 3:30 this week. The oldest one is still having CSAP tests at school. I didn’t know but these go on for two weeks! He says he’s doing pretty well and knowing him, I’m sure he’s right. Tonight we have another rehearsal for the youngest guys d.i. presentation which is tomorrow morning. He has a Chinese dinner tonight after practice as their presentation is Chinese or Japanese. All I know is we have to be at the high school by 7am tomorrow, uggh. It’ll go on for a few hours and then we’re supposed to go back for some kind of an awards ceremony tomorrow night. In previous years, we usually skip the evening ceremony as the kids don’t really don’t want to go back to sit through some speeches. We’ll see how the day goes.<\/p>\n
It’s after 6 now and everyone is still sleeping. I hollered the time upstairs but no one is stirring. I’ll give them all another 15 or 20 minutes before I go up and nudge them all awake. I don’t have much else to say, glad the solar flares didn’t cause more damage but we’re not out of the woods yet as now our atmosphere is weakened and this year and next are forecasted to be the heaviest in 100 years for solar flare activity. I know this doesn’t mean much to most, if not all of you, since you probably don’t follow or understand it.<\/p>\n
Here’s a little blurb to help explain it,<\/p>\n
A CME is currently racing towards earth<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0and will strike a blow very soon, sometime on March 8-9, to an already \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctaxed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 magnetic shield. If sunspot 1429 blows off a large X-class flare in the next few days, the resulting CME (Coronal Mass Ejection which can trigger geomagnetic storms that have been known to knock out electric power for extended periods of time.)\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dccould\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 be a bigger problem for us here on earth, even bigger than whatever happens on the 8th-9th because the huge sunspot will be firing \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcstraight\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 at us in a few days.<\/p>\n Hopefully nothing will ever happen but there was a 1 in 8 or 12% chance of serious damage to power grids and such. Good thing it didn’t happen, keep your fingers crossed. There’s always something like this going on and you usually don’t hear about it, especially from the likes of the Today Show, but this was a big time event that thankfully doesn’t happen very often. Oh well, not much you could do about it anyhow.<\/p>\n Time for me to run, I didn’t get to the gym yesterday and am determined to go today, not just sure when. Hope you’re all well, time to get something to eat as the pills I’m on are supposed to be taken with food and my stomach is gurgling. I think I’m getting better though, thanks for the good thoughts and well wishes from those of you that I talked to. Man it’s a bitch getting old! Thankfully I refuse to do so and still think I’m 28, ok maybe 38.<\/p>\n Have a nice weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m about out of options for the misses.
