Oops!\u00a0 I completely spaced posting yesterday’s Wanderings.\u00a0 I didn’t have a whole lot to post, but thirty minutes of Stumbling would have fixed that.\u00a0 I will try to have a double week next week to make up for it.<\/p>\n
I might use the weather as an excuse, as it has been distracting.\u00a0 Colorado Springs weather is typically mild, even in winter.\u00a0 Most folks think we’re nothing but snow; however, we get over two-hundred-fifty days of sunshine every year.\u00a0 In fact, it got up to sixty-five degrees this past Saturday.\u00a0 This was followed by our annual cold snap.\u00a0 Most of the winter is spent in the twenties and thirties (Fahrenheit), but we get periods into the sixties and sometimes seventies and we have one or two cold snaps which drop to single digits or worse.\u00a0 In this case, it was worse, dropping below zero for the last few days.\u00a0 Today is better, which an expected high in the thirties.\u00a0 It’s already around twenty degrees, much better than yesterday’s high of maybe three degrees.<\/p>\n
I had a conversation with my ex-wife a couple of days ago via Yahoo! Messenger.\u00a0 The conversation was mostly about our son, Spaceman.\u00a0 He was very naughty a couple of weeks ago.\u00a0 He stole the ex’s child support card and ordered about three-hundred dollars worth of crap from Amazon.\u00a0 He even expedited some of it.\u00a0 The ex was understandably upset when it happened, and she put all the stuff he got aside, hoping to find a way to return most or all of it.\u00a0 Spaceman wasn’t done being bad, though.\u00a0 He went into the room it was kept and opened up several packages so he could play with whatever they contained.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 That means I get to give him a good talking to.\u00a0 Further conversation with the ex revealed this is only the worst of his recent behavior.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Spaceman is scheduled to go in for another catscan shortly.\u00a0 My insurance will not kick in until March 1, so my ex will have to cover it all herself.\u00a0 She has promised to let me know the results.\u00a0 I cannot say how frightening it is to have a child under twenty going through a catscan to learn what’s going on with his tumor.<\/p>\n
We also chatted briefly about Danny.\u00a0 The anniversary of his death is later this month, and it’s haunting both of us more with each passing day.\u00a0 The ex’s shrink has said this is normal and expects it to get much worse.\u00a0 The ex said we are likely to relive the emotions of that day.\u00a0 I hope to avoid that, but it’s one of those things one doesn’t really get a say in.\u00a0 I am working that day, so maybe that will help some.\u00a0 Probably not, though, as I was also working the day it happened.<\/p>\n
Going on to happier things, my virtual worlds have been good this past week.\u00a0 Boomshakalaka hit level 90 in EverQuest and started getting AA points again.\u00a0 Said points are coming in fast; those with less points earn them quicker than those with more.<\/p>\n
In my other virtual world, Perfect World, I bought an outfit for my toon.\u00a0 It has one problem:\u00a0 The colors are random and difficult to customize.\u00a0 I confess I haven’t entirely figured out the coloring system, but it involves getting pigments.\u00a0 These pigments are just as random as the original clothing.\u00a0 I don’t know if that makes a difference; when I brought up the coloring interface it didn’t say a particular pigment was required.\u00a0 It would make sense I should use a specific color, but I don’t honestly know if that’s true.<\/p>\n
That’s all I have today.\u00a0 I will have a lovely poem for you tomorrow.\u00a0 See you then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
