Today I did a lot of computer stuff and didn’t have much time to think about anything interesting. Because setting up computers to work well is not very interesting in my book. It involves trying to figure out why the computer which is supposedly a perfectly rational being of some sort acts in such perverse fashions. It’s almost as if it  was. . . . .human!

And I was almost like Henry VIII. Drop it out the window and go shopping for a new one. But that wouldn’t be a wise move and Beth would probably start thinking I was getting too near The Edge.

Well I have news for her pretty self. It won’t be computers that send me there. It will be Restless Legs Syndrome. Ten percent of the population have this scourge? I doubt it. Because that would mean that at least two percent of the population are jumping out of windows every night.

And unless someone doesn’t think that is a newsworthy event we can safely say no! That’s not happening.

But I do have a new idea in my ongoing quest to find ways to outsmart Mr. R. Legs Syndrome. I am going to have a stand next to my desk and put a wireless keyboard on it. Then when the RLS starts up I can stand up and type away without bringing this insidious stuff into play. One of the reasons I started blogging was to share my experience and (hopefully) some helpful tips about dealing with RLS since so many people have or will have it.

I need to work on my new “seating” arrangement in the morning. Because right now I cannot even continue this post.

Night. Night.

Today I had a medical physical and then spent the day trying to be more organized. And in the middle of all that I had an attack of Restless Legs (RLS). So when I look back on the day I feel like it was productive. But it wasn’t a fun day.

Do you ever have to wear those little gowns that tie around your neck and don’t really have a back to them? I hate those things. And then they have the AC going like a blast furnace in reverse. So you are freezing your little rear end off. Just sitting there on THAT table waiting for someone to drop by and EXAMINE you.

And then when this person walks in it is not the person you were expecting who has done it before. It’s a woman!

Actually that was a nice surprise. She was nice and I had to ask myself whether I would rather be examined by someone I didn’t really know who was a guy or a girl. And the answer came back. . . .

A GIRL! Woman actually. Health care professional with the XX chromosome. But she took my blood pressure and it was a little high. And it’s never been high. What’s that about?

It’s about geese!! They just walk out into the road in front of your car and they never look first to see if the coast is clear! They just go! And if you are coming down the road at fifty miles an hour when they do it well it’s up to you Jack to STOP THE CAR before there are goose feathers exploding all over your hood ornament.

So that happened right before I got to the medical center. Then it was fifty degrees inside. And then the other stuff happened. Who wouldn’t have slightly high blood pressure after that?

The rest of the day was basically cleaning my office organizing photos and jumping around with restless legs. Jordin Sparks was on So You Want To Be A Dancer tonight. So that was nice. Dinner was lovely. I talked to my son about getting the headlight in his car fixed and he didn’t react negatively.

Basically things went uphill after the geese tried to commit suicide on my car bumper and I got rid of the gown. I’m not really a gown person.

Even a really nice one would not be my cup of tea.

Here are a couple of photos from last weekend that turned out alright. Fireworks!! Don’t you love em. It’s fun trying to time the photo so you take it when the firework explosion is in full bloom.

Once again the senior citizen is left to feel old and forgotten. Where is the category for Best Senior Blog? Let’s see. We have best teen blog. And most of them haven’t even figured out how to write or read yet. JUST joking! We have the best glbt weblog! I didn’t know Gilbert had his own category? Oh, wait. That’s gay/lesbian/bisexual/ transgendered weblogs for folks like me who would never have figured it out in a million years without a scorecard.

There are lots of interesting categories and I hope we all have a chance to look at all these wonderful blogs.

http://2008.bloggies.com/

I am going to predict right now that I will win one of these some day. It will happen as soon as they have a category for Senior Weblogs Including Both Poetry And Photos From Richmond, Virginia And The Author Must Have Restless Legs Disorder And Love Jordin Sparks.

Don’t even bother to count the votes. Stop after one and declare a winner.

It is interesting to me to read some of these and see what kind of writing attracts a lot of attention. Mainly it is very good writing. Waiting Rant is one of my favorites and I will vote for this guy many times if possible. He’s my hero and I want to be just like him when I grow up.

Check it out.
