Once again, it’s been a while since I’ve updated. For some reason, I can never quite find the time to write up entries. So I thought I’d take advantage of Single’s Awareness Day to make a post.
Of course, some have asserted that I have no right to be “celebrating” Single’s Awareness Day, given that I’m not exactly single. But from where I stand, if you don’t have plans on Valentine’s Day (and not due to circumstances like the significant other being out of town or something), then you qualify as single. So that would be me.
But y’know, this whole relationship thing… I know I’ve been through two divorces, myself, so I’m not one to be taken by surprise when they come to an end… But today I learned that two couples of my acquaintance have separated. One of them in particular really surprised me because they just seemed to have a really solid thing going on. But appearances can be deceiving, as I know too well. Whatever happens, I wish them all well. They’re good people, all of them.
I dodged last week's jury duty bullet. Didn't even have to go in. My boss (the new Boss B) also dodged. So we're in the clear for at least another year.
And yes, that means the switcheroo at work has been completed. I am not unhappy in the least about it. The new Boss B certainly has his preferred methods for things (as everyone does), and some of them I think are a little silly. But hey... It's still a much-needed change for me.
About six months ago, some of you might remember, I ordered a digital projector for my home movie-watching use. It came with a rebate offer: a free 92” projection screen. Yesterday, I finally received the thing, which had apparently been on back-order for five months. Ludicrous.
It’s still in the box, though, until this weekend. But this sucker’s huge. I’m having to re-evaluate just how the setup is going to be in my li’l one-bedroom place. And of course, I have to hope my landlord’s okay with me putting a couple molly bolts in the ceiling.
Then there’s the question of sound. The projector has a built-in speaker that’s actually pretty good, but for something approaching home theater quality, I’d need more than that. I’m tempted to just buy a cheap home theater system, including DVD player, and just use the projector as a projector and not a player at the same time. Either way, with or without all that, it’s going to require some significant adjustments in my living room furniture set-up.
I had the last of my dental work done on the 2nd, but I’m a little concerned. It’s been nearly two weeks, now, and the teeth I had worked on are ultra-sensitive to temperature. I’d have thought such sensitivity would’ve lessened by now. But maybe not. I emailed my dentist for his thoughts.
On the other hand, my shoulder is doing quite well. I’d say it’s very nearly back to normal. That’s cool.
Also cool is the fact that I no longer have sleep apnea. Five years ago, I did a sleep test and was confirmed for apnea. But before I could acquire a CPAP machine, I lost my job and, hence, my benefits. And even though I've been employed for the past four years, I've only now gotten around to re-doing the test. Well, I got the results of Sunday night’s test back, and there’s no indication of it. Good blood oxygenation, etc. Guess losing 70 pounds can help that, huh?
