Well, despite two hospitalizations of my wife, my own trip to the emergency room, random nights spent in dire agony, general listlessness, and the omnipresent distraction of Everquest 2, I have (almost) finished Free Mar…
There seems to have been some misinterpretation of my prior post.I'm physically fine. I've just been very tired and stressed.
Gods. This has been a waste of a day. I got nothing done worth mentioning, and have no idea where the day went. I have been totally unable to focus.Either I get better by tomorrow...a lot better...or there's going to be …
The rate at which reality is outpacing satire is approaching lightspeed. Now, satire isn't even published before reality beats it.Here's something I wrote a few weeks ago:Naturally, no matter how extreme the cause, there…
Sheesh, David, DO try to keep up on the soap opera that is Lizard...check back to early November.
Last night -- curled up in agony, alternating between shivering fits and hot flashes. At one point, I nearly fainted while visiting Beth. (Apparently, my hepatitis-induced nausea flared again).This morning - awake, alert…
So, at midnight, Lizard is wandering around WalMart with all the rest of the pathetic dregs of humanity.
Why? I'm not sure. Well, I am sure, sort of. I wanted Lloyds BBQ beef ribs. Never mind that I haven't seen them in…
Right. This is Lizard having a crappy day.
Firstly, Beth is back in inpatient. The meds were giving her hallucinations, and the doctor feels, probably correctly, that she's better be inside while they're adjusted. Natur…

Quote for today:"So, we're putting plant gonads into decayed insect flesh."
Have not been blogging much, and I need to. A lot happening - playing EQ2, watching Incredibles, etc. Today was spent on several things -- food…
Beth's back! Yay!But I still have to write.
Things I have learned in Everquest 2.The following ingredients will NOT make coffee: Coffee beans, pure filtered water, coal for the fire.The following ingredients WILL make coffee: Coffee beans, mucus from a ravenous bo…
Sigh.
Here is the Beth update: She's cranky and frustrated and bored. This is, IMHO, a good sign. She's feeling the emotions you'd expect someone cooped up with no freedom and surrounded by loonies to feel - she's feeli…
Playing EQ2.Go 'way.Don't bother me.Must kill more rats.Krikkit. Antonica Bayle. PST.
This has been a Very Cranky Day, and, as usual, it's mostly over trivia. I am very much on edge lately; the slightest frustration tends to drive me into a berserker rage. It's very difficult for me to relax and just acce…
Well, it took me until 11:30 to finally do it, but I did my 4K. Really, I didn't manage to start writing until 5. I spent most of the afternoon either unfocused or unconscious. And my stomach is queasier than it's been i…

I miss my wife. It's now been a week, and the backlog of unshared experiences is starting to get to me. There's too many things we do together...watching TV, reading online comic strips, playing games, food shopping, loo…

Broke down and bought EQ2.Then found out I need a new graphics card.Smeg.Oh well, I did manage to get the 4K words cranked out. Today's random excerpt:[[Art note – this might merit a blueprint, as running firefights in m…

Today I am a man!I drove to the Wal-Mart and back, without hurting myself, anyone else, dinging the car, or needing to change my underwear. Managed to get a little lost but didn't panic. Now, driving 1/2 mile might not s…
Sleepy, tired, "w00t". Managed to crank out 4K words. Yay. Contemplating a Wal-Mart run, but I am just so terrified of wrecking the car that I'd rather wait. Maybe around midnight, when there's likely to be no other cars…
Sigh. Just spoke to Beth. She is still not doing well, and will probably be in for another week.
Well, I contacted my insurance company and I'm getting it re-activated from October. This is going to cost me a few ugly pennies, but it will be one less source of stress. (IIRC, I had a killer deductible, but at least t…
Need to start writing! But first, stupid web tests!free enneagram test
This has not been a good week for the Family Lizard. Beth is in inpatient care and is, at best, holding steady - the random medication for several weeks really did a numbe on her. As for me, I've had stomach problems all…
Fanboy powers....Activate!
Getting on. Spending a lot of time snuggling with kitties. I will probably be eating very late, since visiting hours are inconveniently placed between 8 and 9, so I have to leave here about 7:30, and I have at least an h…
Beth is in inpatient again. Further details when she's better. sorry, it's very late, and I'm physical ly and emotionally exhausted.
Well, I've been watching the election returns trickle in. It's times like this I wish I drank.
So, today I started work, for sufficiently small values of "started". I am still recovering from a nasty stomach something and I spent all weekend working on my last project, so focus was a bit of an issue today. I'll ge…
Warning: Lizard gets political.I posted this to a mailing list I'm on back on 10/29, and waffled about posting it here, since I try to keep my political ramblings and my personal life (and this blog is mostly personal) s…
