Ah, I love what Indianapolis has to offer and am happy to hear about this news. Just wish the weather were warmer most of the year.

Piggy-backing off my previous post, I’m in an odd mix of emotions today. On one side is my “reality”, I’ve been sick for a week, I hate my job, wife hates being not being able to stay at home with the kids and raise them and so hates her job, financially completely broke, and seemingly no immediate light at the end of this 9 month tunnel we’ve been in.
Yet, today I’m strangely at ease with the fact that I’m truly blessed. My kids have brought more joy to my life in the past few months than I’ve every paid attention to before. They’re the best. My wife is extremely patient with me, tough when I’m sick and don’t do much of anything. I know I’m hard to live with, I have extremely high expectations and am close to a perfectionist I guess. I think the only thing that makes me bearable is that I’m very patient and eventually will just bury whatever I was upset about and try and forget about it.
With regards to my “reality”, I also am frequently reminded that there are, 1.) people who are much sicker than I am and have been for longer, 2.) that I have a job to complain about, 3.) that I have a wife who wants nothing more than to be an amazing mother for our kids, 4.) that I have two adorable, smart, healthy kids, 5.) and even though we’re broke we still have more than enough to eat, and a more than adequate roof over our heads.
Thank you God, may I continually see things through your Son’s eyes and not through my own all time.
Rock On, Rock ON : The Balancing Art of Bill Dan
Interesting! I can’t really decide if I’m going to let my eye’s change what my mind is telling me is impossible.
Now, I’m all for the ADA. But sometimes, I believe the regulations have forgone the realms of logic. Just visited a website and completed a short but multi-entry form.
At the bottom of the page was a little blurb that said “Visually Impaired? Click HERE.”
DURH!
I know there are numerous visually impaired surfers that use screen reader controls to allow them to surf web pages. However, I’m also aware that this little bit of direction could be buried at the TOP of the page and hidden from the surfer that has been blessed enough to still have their sight.
Just thought I’d blurb about that, thought it was a little absurd.
I’ve been sick for the past four days, and I’m tired of it. Started off with just kind of losing my voice. Turned into a major sore throat, then of course coughing, sinus drainage and major headaches. I’ve never been one to really take anything for headaches, in fact it wasn’t until a few years ago that it ever registered really what a headaches was. I know that sounds absurd, but oddly enough I never really thought about my head hurting when it did, I just jumped to immediately being uncomfortable.
Anyway, went to the doctor today. He said my lungs sound great. Blood pressure is good. Don’t have strep throat (which was an annual occurence growing up), probably just a viral infection. Nothing to really cure it, just make me more comfortable. I was actually feeling much better today, but since about 3:00pm this afternoon my chest has been killing me. I believe it’s from all the coughing, didn’t realize I was coughing quite that much.
Very uncomfortable, just want to go to sleep.
