Argh! I went outside to take some pictures of random stuff and now my feet itch. The mosquitoes must have been out for one of their final meals of the season. I'm horrible when it comes to scratching an itch. I will literally dig a hole in my skin. I've been itchy my whole life. Scratching is sort of like a drug; you get used to a certain and have to do it progressively harder and harder to get any relief. Is there a program for scratchers anonymous?
On to the mom update. Jamie's mom came home from the hosptial a couple of days after her heart issue. From what I can tell, she's doing ok. My mom has lost most of her hair. My Uncle Don, her brother, now finally has more hair than somebody in the family. But, Mom is rockin' her new wig, even though I have YET to see a picture of it (hinthint). She has her second chemo treatment tomorrow and hopefully she'll do as well with it as she did with the first round. By the fifth day after her treatment she was starting to feel better after only about three days of discomfort. We're all very hopeful that she and my grandparents will be able to come to our house for Thanksgiving. She will be on her third week after a treatment, going in for the next treatment on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. She was feeling pretty good on the third week after her first treatment, so hopefully the trend will continue.
Argh! A mosquito got my arm too.
We've both gotten into a new online game, much like the one we were playing when we met. Unfortunately we can play together since we only have one computer that will run the game and it would require paying for two separate accounts. For the time being we just watch each other play. My character is a Black Orc named Htebazile (a prize to the person who figures out how I came up with that one).
The dude in the red robe in the background is one of Jamie's characters -- a magus that rides around on a hover-disc.
Jamie doesn't have to work this Sunday. I'm hoping I can drag him to the local fair. I think the fair should have some pretty good photo opportunities. I've just about exhausted all the ones around the apartment. I can only take so many pictures of leaves. Hopefully I can get some cool action shots of rides, animals, people, mums (I love mums in the fall!), and other stuff. We're finally getting some really good fall light. Fall light has such a nice golden color to it that makes for really pretty, soft pictures.
There was a HUGE crane with an American flag flying high at the top it at work today. When I saw it I immediately wanted my camera. I think I might drag the camera to work someday soon to get pictures of the construction work. This morning they brought in HUGE steel beams, so maybe there will be some more big crane action.
Enjoy the recent pictures of leaves and mushrooms and fenceposts on our Flickr album!
Two weeks ago, I fiddled for school's international festival with our Dean of Learning Resources (who plays way more instruments than I do, if you can believe that). Someone in the crowd captured a few low-quality video clips of the day. I am officialy on YouTube now, though the only clip that has me playing fiddle really sucks. I promise that I do play much better than that. Oh, and I was wearing my boots with the two-inch heels that day. I can't play in heels, so I played in my sock feet. Here are links to the videos:
Video 1 - I am playing the fiddle in this one, but you can't see me. You can hear me playing for all of about 2 seconds before the sound goes wonky.
Video 2 - The Dean of Learning Resources plays the electronic bagpipes. So cool!!! Check out my socks.
Video 3 - I have mad bodhran (Irish drum) skillz.
Video 4 - You can actually see me play fiddle in this one. But then we decided to play two different tempos (I slowed down, he sped up) in the same song and it sounds horrible. Please forgive the ahem...dancing...
