teeth, knees, cows and football

I'm sitting here eating rice and chicken soup, mmmm. Not as good as ice cream, but I guess I need to eat healthy and can't eat ice cream forever. The tooth area is healing up nicely and I am taking the Hydrocodine only 1-2 times a day now. As for the effect it has on me, let's just say my co-workers like when I take it. Had a full physical yesterday and they took a lot of blood for all sorts of tests. They asked me if I wanted to be tested for A, B and C, knowing my health coverage is great I said yes, yes and yes. I also had my right knee x-rayed, the x-rays turned out fine :) Nonetheless I am going to see a knee specialist this coming Monday, need to get rid of the soreness after running/hiking/sports.

I decided after much thought and guidance to accept the position with Bearing Point at the location I work now. The folks I work with are a good group and were glad to hear that I was staying. The offer from Bearing Point was reasonable and I will continue on my current work efforts, maybe they will even get another developer on my team? Work starts October 10th (thought 10.10.05 is a gov't holiday and the base will be closed) and I will be on vacation from September 26 - Oct 5th and will be unemployed from Oct. 1 - Oct. 9 Kind of worked out that I did not have to take vacation, but then again I do not get paid either.

After all that serious stuff I'd have to say the surprise of the last 24 hours was picking up my camera and seeing that the day previous I went outside to take pictures of and with the cows out front. It just made me smile at how strange I am ;)

This weekend marks the first Hokie home football game of 2005, we play Ohio. Poor Ohio...
