Phil’s Filings

Got caught up in trying to get a lot of stuff done for work today and tonight. Didn’t have a chance to write anything, but I did get my photos sorted. Now I gotta upload them all. Debating whether or not I want to start watermarking them.

My trip started as they usually do — with me not being able to get to sleep.  After packing up my bags, I don’t think I finally fell asleep until 12:45am or so.  My alarm went off at 4:15am so I could get to the airport in time for my 7:15am flight.  I always want [...]

And there’s more snow in the forecast for pretty much every day over the next 10.
Oh, yay.

A month or so ago, my mind was wandering, and then I suddenly started thinking about a girl I used to know.  Her name was Rachael, and she worked at the same Dairy Queen that I did.  All in all, we worked together maybe a year or so.  I’ll admit, I thought she was cute, [...]

The lack of sleep on the cruise caught up to me.  I’m sick.  Bleah. 

I lost 2 pounds while on the cruise.  You know, the cruise — that place where food is everywhere and I ate a bit more than I normally do (compensating with extra insulin).
I know I gained weight when I was unable to do much with my sprained ankle.  Did I really walk that much on [...]
