No Words & The Coming Holiday (rant)

I was not surprised to sit down at my Mac this morning to see an e mail from Wifey that said "what happened to the blog?" Meaning why didn't I post last night? I needed to correct her and say well, I WAS making posts just not on The Soiled Chamois. I had some team posting to take care of. Trying to get the team Bio page together. So far it's just me and Don P. I hope to get more posted in the near future. Ahem.. AHEM!!!

I also didn't have much to say. Indoor workouts are not the greatest topic for sub par Blog writing. This time of year drags like the back of a 3,000 pound ape's hand on the cold, slushy, mushy, muddy Western PA ground. In other words it sucks. Not too much to look forward to for a while either. There will be rides of course, but most all of them will be in the name of sanity and gaining or maintaining fitness.

The Most Wonderful Time of The Year...

I'm really hoping for improved weather over my Christmas vacation. Other than Santa coming to visit B-Man and some fine seasonal craft brews, the possibility of a few rides is one of the only things that I look forward to about the coming Holiday Season. I envy folks that dig the Season. More power to ya! But I can be a Scrooge, a Grinch, a Meisterburger Burgermeister, a Professor Hinkle, a Heat Miser, etc., OK, I can pretty much be a dick when it comes to the Holidays. But hey, only 16 more days and it'll be over!

Example of Dickness?... Has anyone else been getting the sarcastic "have a great day" from the Salvation Army bell ringers when you walk by without giving?? Sorry man, I just don't carry cash. No need to get all sarcastic on my ass. I finally gave last week. I put the cash in and NOTHING!! No "thank you" at all. Not that I need a thank you, but it kills me that he was able to blurt out "have a great day" in that shitty way without a problem, but "thank you" couldn't make it out. Later that week I tried again with a different Bell Ringer. I got what I THINK was a "thank you" but I'm not sure! The dude was eating a big ass freaking sandwich and muttered something, but it just sounded like "ugghh ahhh" as lettuce and scraps of capicola fell from his chin. I'm kidding, it's of course not about "thank yous". It's about GIVING. Good thing too, because I GAVE them a bunch of Canadian coins I couldn't get rid of! I'M KIDDING! EEESH!!! EVERYONE RELAX!!

Gotz to go down to Mercy tomorrow to get more blood tests about the blood clot. I had a similar test done about a month ago by a different lab. But the test results could have been skewed by the Warfarin. So I had to go off of it for two weeks and just do the Lovenox injections. Tomorrow I can get the test done and FINALLY be done with the injections FOR GOOD! Just Warfarin now and if the blood tests come back normal it will just be until the clot is out of my leg. I'm not getting my hopes up though. There isn't TOO much "normal" about me! ;)

Later.

A.M. EDIT: Ian I swear in the New Year not to be hattin' so much! :)
