whimper

it's sad, almost surprising, that i didn't make any posts here in this blog the entire month of december, the end of the year especially.

the first part of the month i have a decent excuse for because mom was here and i spent all my extra time with her. but afterwards ... i suppose i was just recovering still. it was the first time i was alone since november one, so i had no one to fall back on except the cat.

still, i'm faced with all that month of blank space. i'll try and fill some with correspondence. we wrote back and forth to dad a lot because mom was here. maybe i didn't dump all of those messages yet. we'll see....

today so far i've made espresso, oatmeal, more espresso. plus a few odds and ends, like stopping in the bathroom, etc. plus i did the dishes and stuff. the oatmeal and espresso dishes. and for now, i think i'll go make some more espresso. then maybe i'll see if i can dig up some old correspondences.

oh, plus i'm gonna stop the bedroom door from banging. the wind is blustery today and it's a nice breeze but things are banging. so i gotta add some padding here and there.

amateurs

hey mom, i took a shower today... it's the first shower i've taken since before you left. so that makes it a grand total of what ... three showers since halloween? surely it must be a record of some sort.... so that's why i'm mentioning it. it's sort of a small almost-momentous occasion.

everything went fine. didn't get stuck to the porceline or anything. the new nozzle still works well, no leaks.

i've taken so long because i just haven't felt like physically moving my body, especially my legs, around very much. but i've been feeling more agile lately, more energetic. my legs seem to be less swollen too.

i know my arm is better because i've been noticing it's much easier to jerk espresso. and getting in and out of bed seems less of a pain.

the weather here has been socked in for the last two or three days. all the amateur fireworks poppers got pretty much rained out. so that was a good thing. they did start popping enough to become annoying and fill the streets with black-powder smoke smell around 9:30pm so i just turned on the sirius disorder satellite and the fan and went to bed.

i was awakened at midnite by bigger, louder explosions, professional fireworks. the weather had cleared a bit more and at like annual clockwork every new year's at midnite there's a great fireworks show shot off over honolulu harbor at aloha tower.

the annual fireworks view out my bedroom window is spectacular, and it was obviously loud enough to wake me last nite. after the fireworks show, about 12:30am, i went back to bed.

about 5:30 am i woke up. after espresso, before sun-up i opened an organic cans of black-eye peas, added a few cloves of crushed garlic. later that morning i cooked it, jerked some more espresso and had breakfast.
