Getting Older

Hi, today has been a day so far. On Mondays Rok and i normally don't have much to do, but we clean my grandma's house every other Friday. Last Friday was supposed to be our day to clean but my grandpa's knee was bothering him, so we were asked to clean Monday. At the time it was no problem to us. Then Yesterday I got a text from my mom saying to call her ASAP, now I love my mom but sometimes she is a little dramatic. I had already taken a long break and several shorter ones over the day but the test said ASAP so I thought I should at least give it a chance. It turns out she was calling to tell me my grandpa went into the hospital and had surgery on his knee. So I will give her this one. (Short tangent: They way she told me I am likely to never forget. "They were going to drain his knee because they figured it was probably just some excuse liquid, but then puss and blood started coming out." Which to me is absolutely disgusting to think about.)

But so that brings us to today, we did clean the house but my grandma needed Rok to drive her to the hospital to go see my grandpa. So my mom get to the house around 12:15 and after about an hour of taking and emotions happening we decided we should actually clean. A little later Rok showed up and far more got done. After that draining mess Rok and I went to a couple stores, one of which was Jiffy Lube to get our oil changed. And then we came home and went swimming for a bit. After that we went to the gym and ran too much and now we find ourselves emotionally and physically drained from this exhausting  day.

Today I weighed: 219.7

Yesterday I ate:
> Pineapple smoothie
> Matar Paneer
> A bowl of bbq chips
> Fettuccine Alfredo

Yesterday I drank: 84 oz of water

Today was exhausting but hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Stay cool.

Cooking shows

By -
I really like watching cooking shows. I'm not sure why, I don't plan on ever making the food they do, but there is something about watching skilled chefs make beautifully delicious looking food. Rok also enjoys these show so that works out really well for us. More recently we have started to watch more cooking channels on YouTube. We now watch Binging with Babish and Bon Appetit. I used to watch Hellthy JunkFood, but recently their content hasn't appealed to me as much as it used to. We also watch the Great British Bake Off on Netflix, but unfortunately Netflix doesn't offer many other cooking show options that I can find. I have been curious to look into Chef's table but we haven't gotten there yet. Today I weighed: 213 lbs Yesterday I ate: > A 22 oz Aloha Pineapple smoothie from Jamba Juice > ~1 1/2 cup of buttery noodles > A yogurt cup > Two peanut butter and honey sandwiches > A slice of white bread Yesterday I drank: 84 oz of water...

Tiny Cat Kidneys

By -
Our cat Monty has been getting over a kidney infection. As such, I had the privilege to learn how difficult it can be to make a cat swallow medication. We also had to learn to administer a subcutaneous fluid drip every few days to make sure he stays properly hydrated. Fortunately, he's been recovering well, drinking his water and eating his expensive, new medicated food. We took him into the vet today to make sure he's totally back to normal, but now we have to wait for a urine test to come back. At least we got his vaccinations and stuff renewed, so that's good. This morning, I weighed 195.8 Today I ate ~Three small chocolate covered muffin tops ~A pull apart twizzler ~Half a bowl of cheesy pasta from Noodles ~A cat mug of ice cream ~An Amy's pesto tortellini bowl ~Two slices of cheese pizza On an unrelated note, I've been cleaning up our kitchen and I'm hoping to keep it that way this time. I suspect a tidy kitchen will make cooking less of a cho...

On Nintendo

By -
This entry doesn't really fit with the others I've made so far, but today being their E3 presentation day, it seemed as good a time as any to offer a couple of stories and some thoughts on Nintendo. I believe I was six years old when Mario Kart 64 was released. Like any kid at the time, I wanted it quite a bit, and on Christmas, I was elated to find a copy of Mario Kart placed under the tree by my grandma. Unfortunately, as my grandma was a rather stereotypical grandma, she had mistakenly purchased a copy of Super Mario Kart for the SNES, a console I did not own. This isn't to say I blame my grandma; she was just trying to give me a gift I would like for Christmas. Seeing my disappointment, she decided to call Nintendo customer service and explain the situation. They were extremely helpful and understanding and they agreed to take my copy of Super Mario Kart and mail me a copy of Mario Kart 64 in exchange, along with a letter apologizing for the mix-up (which is a bit odd...
