Dahlia’s letter to the nurses after kicking them for giving her a shot

Dear Nurses,
I am very sorry from kicking you. The needle didn’t really hurt.
I’m sorry.

From Dahlia Fleck

Monti/Dahlia

Conversation between M&D today:

Dahlia had just received this pencil holder that we gave her – it has dolphins in it – it’s pretty cool. It holds two pencils.

Monti:”Dahlia, can I borrow your pencil holder tomorrow at school?”
Dahlia:” Nooooooo!!!!!!! Noooooooo!”
Monti:”But I have so many pencils at school that need holding and you don’t have any!”

In Fla

Down in Florida with the girls and Elsa’s parents. Having a good time. Monti and D about to get in the pool. Played Pickleball with LPK and dad yesterday. LPK cleaned our clocks…. Cold on Monday. We went do disneyworld – got picked to be in the main street parade on the auto ride with Pluto. Pretty cool day. Monti had a fairy godmother helping us. Mat lost his wallet – has to figure that all out before he hits the road soon to head here. That’s about it.

Have you seen my camera?

Think I might have lost my videocamera……. HDV camera here I come!

Monti is taking singing lessons. When asked why she wants to take them she said “Sometimes I start singing and I just can’t stop myself!”

another long time, no post post

Lessee… Waiting on Amazon.com to sign the EPA. Or not sign… Something will happen this week I think… Dahlia and Monti in gymnastics. Monti in singing lessons. Monti’s teacher thinks she’d be great on Broadway.. Going to introduce her to a guy from NY when he comes out who does something like that.

Finished listening to a years worth of Johnny B.

Should probably start listening to another audio book.

Programming : Working on FlexTD

Reading: Nothing at the moment unless you consider web pages…….

Screwing around with trying to kill spam on my flexgames forums

Long Time No Post

Monti is completely into tornados (or not into them as the case may be). She is very afraid of them but draws them. We asked her if she’d want to move back to the Midwest to be by her cousins. Her response : “No, there are no tornados here so let’s just stay here”.

Dahlia is loving preschool here in Issaquah now. She dressed all in green for St. Pats day. So damn cute.

Mom and dad are in Italy I think… I’m thinking of maybe going to get my MBA over 18 mos. Maggie may move in with us in June……

dahlia is fascinated w/bodies right now.. she’s fixated on my scar for example for my appendix thing…

Update

Back up to my original weight.. maybe a little more.. working out almost every day… which really means i jog or go to gym… jog is more of a 1 mile run and 1 mile walk.. i found that when i was on the roids pretty heavy my lungs did not have nearly the asthma issues that i have now… Right now 1 mile into it i can’t get enough air. I am going to investigate doing more albuterol before i jog.. could really open things up… workouts in gym have been good but not seeing a lot more muscle gain anymore… maybe I’ve hit a plateau.

Otherwise things are pretty good.
Monti and D had their first days of school respectively. I cried at Monti’s.. Not sure where that came from.. Must be the roids wearing off… The Joe from July would have beat up the Joe from September for that move. 😉

Monti seems to take to school well. Dahlia said it’s “not fun” when I asked her about it. But I think it’s growing on her. We got rear ended over the weekend. That wakes you up in a hurry. Elsa getting the car checked out right now. Waiting on some orders to come in to ‘make my year’ here at Apple. I declined going further in a job interview with Google at this point for a CSE position. The pay was not high enough… but the job looked very interesting.. Maybe I’ll go back to it in the future… Eating almost anything I ate before now… Though not nearly as ravenous as I used to be… I should go do a midday workout… adios…….
