Pic a Day in May: Day 22

Meme

Jim of Jim’s Stuff started the “Pic a Day in May” challenge last year. I did it last year, and felt like I’d do it again this year.

Day 22. Productive day. For the most part.

And then after the studio I went to the gym. I missed yesterday as the gym was closed by the time I was done at the studio. So I had to get there today. My second day!

Not that I like it. I find the gym to be even more boring, and just as dirty, as a doctor’s waiting room. I’d rather cut myself that be here.

But alas, as I sit on my ass all day long, I really need to do something to counter that.

Stop!
Stop!

“And I ran. I ran so far away. I just ran. I ran all night and day.I couldn’t get away…”. Because I was running in place.

Mind-fucking-numbing.

Until next time...

Pic a Day in May: Day 20

Meme,

Day 20. Today started out pleasant enough.

And then Mother Nature unleashed her wrath on portions of land not that far west of us.

Which then continued on it’s way here.

We were having Monday Beveraging as the storm rolled in. What else are we to do?

And then the tornado sirens sirened. And the rain rained sideways. And the color of the sky went funny colored. And the sirens continued to go off.

So we hunkered down prepared for who knows what.

Too much red...
Too much red…

Unlike people to the west of us, we went relatively unscathed. Downed trees and debris in our area. People without power.

But we at least get to sleep holding our loved ones tonight, and under our own roofs.

Unlike many in the land just to the west of us.

Pic a Day in May: Day 19

Meme,

Jim of Jim’s Stuff started the “Pic a Day in May” challenge last year. I did it last year, and felt like I’d do it again this year.

Day 19. Sunday.

Barely made this post. Again.

“Chopped Soooieee” went well, and a great time was had. Hopefully by all. I’ll post about it in detail soon, hopefully tomorrow. Those of us who remained all crashed for the night somewhere near 3:30 AM or so. Then up at 9 or so. That made for a tired Erik the rest of today.

I came home and did a bunch of housework, mostly of the construction variety.

Then this evening, along with the Husbear, Mike, and Dwayne, we went to see “Star Trek Into Darkness”. Very well done movie. I think I actually want to see it again. Which is saying something considering I have to be dragged kicking and screaming to a movie theatre.

After that, I watched the season finale of “Doctor Who”. Ho Lee Krapp! That was a seriously intense episode. And awesome. And all full of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff. I’ll be watching that episode again a few times! I might have even clapped a time or two and possibly had something in my eye once.

I went to lock up the house for the evening, and this is what I saw in the mudroom:

µ is... odd
µ is… odd

My kitteh µ is a little odd sometimes. Okay, she’s odd most of the time. Out of all the places to hunkr down for the moment, she picks 3/4 of a shelf and my shoes.

Crazy kitteh.

Off to bed I go now. For I am to get up early in the morning and join the Husbear at the gym. I’m starting tomorrow. We’ll see how this goes.

Until next time...
Erik
