woke up at 5:45 to prepare for concall at 6:30. chatted with a few people on fb before the concall. lots of people up in the early ack emma.
tummy was ok overnight
spent a lot of time in the concall talking about football. kolkata very disappointed that brazil and argentina are out. very anti-europe as far as football goes. big fans of s.a. style football.
breakfast
bagel w/ cream cheese
oj
banana
hot tea
iced tea
queen elizabeth in nyc today.
went to the library in the early afternoon. checked out a book by wodehouse, a book by rushdie and a book on tape by orson scott card. so hot!
lunch
spicy chicken sandwich
fries
iced tea
chocolate shake
at chik-fil-a in warrenton. tasty but i think it was a mistake to eat spicy food. my stomach is not quite back to normal.
i was planning to go to the grocery store on the way back home but the combination of the heat (99 according to my car) and the spicy food had my stomach turning flips. i came home instead.
there was a deer in the shade on the hill of the brilliant green jade when i drove up. it didn't see me but i watched as it noticed the dog next door coming over to the fence. the deer pawed the ground a few times and then as the dog got closer run off to the woods at the back of the yard. that also spooked the other deer that i didn't see. it was on the slope of the hill near the shed.
got to see the end of the holland v. uruguay match. pretty exciting.
dinner
egg and cheese sandwich
pickles
iced tea
i should have skipped the pickles. didn't really feel like eating so an egg sandwich was a bit of a compromise.
we watched two episodes of doc martin on pbs. fairly enjoyable. certainly not all creatures great and small!!
87 deg at 10:15 pm. very hot. supposed to be hotter tomorrow.

4 july 2010
slept in until a little after 7:00. feeling much better in the morning but achy and sore. stomach feels much better and i'm hungry but i'm a little reluctant to eat.
breakfast
bagel w/ butter
hot tea
iced tea
afraid to drink coffee or oj because of the acid.
4th of july today. the last few years the 4th has crept up and gone. every year we think we should do something on the fourth. see a parade. go to the fireworks. then every year we wimp out. in ffx city we used to be able to walk down to the 4th of july festivities. here its a pretty good hike.
anyway, e is still not fully recovered from her illness a few weeks ago. feels tired all the time. i'm still iffy from friday/saturday tussle with some kind of bug. so we aren't really up to the trek to dc and hours in the sun and then throngs on the metro.
we decided to go see toy story 3 as a holiday treat. bought tickets on line. almost $20 for two people to see a matinee. crazy.
lunch
turkey and swiss sandwich
iced tea
didn't want to eat much. worried that i'll have a relapse in the theater.
ts3 was pretty good. that little baby doll creeped me out big time. the plot and several of the set pieces seemed to rehash elements of toy story 2. lotso srongly resembled stinky pete. besides that, though, the barbie/ken story was very funny and javier fernandez pena did a great job as spanish buzz lightyear.
we went to borders after the movie. we didn't really feel like coffee. e has been avoiding it and i have not felt like coffee for the last few days. we were both pretty hungry and thought that cracker barrel might not be crowded so we went to c.b. for an early dinner.
dinner
scrambled eggs (2)
sausage pattie
bacon strip
small ham slice
hash brown casserole
biscuits (2) w/ sawmill gravy
apples
iced tea
i probably should have skipped about half of this chow. i had not eaten real food in a couple of days so it tasted very good. i did feel a bit overloaded for about 90 minutes after eating and then again about midnight.
i watched the rerun of germany vs. argentina when we got home. e was on the phone and checking e mail for a while. we watched an ok lovejoy episode about a samurai sword in the evening.
dessert
a few spoonfuls of sorbet
finished down and out in paris and london before bed. interesting book. somewhere between fiction and biography. the difference between the way of life of the impoverished in paris and in london is remarkable. orwell asserts that the uk vagrancy laws have a lot to do with the situation. orwell calls the people he lives among vagrants or tramps. we'd call them homeless people today. it is interesting to see the way british society dealt with homeless people in the 30s and compare it to what we do today. orwell certainly seems to be a socialist in this book but not a strident one. he seems to be the inheritor of dicken's criticism of the british treatment of the poor.

watched an episode of house. last episode of the 5th season. really excellent.
fell asleep after house and e. woke me up when it was time to go to the vre. very unusual.

bacon, egg, and cheese bagel
sausage burrito

cappacino
at mcdonald's in ffx city. v hungry so it tasted good.
took karma to the vet at 11:45. blood sugar is still registering in the good range. if she's ok next week we can go 3 mo before the next check.
e got off early for the 4th of july so i went to pick her up at about 2:00.
lunch
pizza (2 sl)
salad (half)
french fries
iced tea
i should have had either one slice or no fries. got to remember.
we were so full from lunch that we didn't really have dinner. i remember eating something small like toast but i don't remember what it was. i was starting to feel ill on friday evening.
over night i had several episodes of illness. different than anything i've felt before. abysmally rotten for 10 or 15 minutes at a spell and then ok. didn't sleep much so when fatigue got mixed in i felt worse.

we're having a dreadful time with the pool. it's absolutely green after several days of filtering. checking the pool in the morning i ran into a swarm of wasps stepped onto the lid of the skimmer basket which shattered. twisted my knee and almost fell in the pool. right now i think the pool is about as toxic as the sludge pit that guy falls into in the first robocop. glad i didn't fall in.
knee was sore all day. got up and stretched it about every 30-45 minutes.
lunch
plain bagel w/ no topping
iced tea
upset stomach to go with my sore knee!

stomach a little better at dinner.
we watched a lovejoy from the last season. pretty good episode. postumus from i, claudius (john castle) was the villain. great villain.
