Not Much in the Second-Thoughts Department

So I was bummed about the rehab, advanced directive, all those good things last night. Worked until 11p or so, then went straight to sleep. Shoulder was still throbbing from the fall, but I'm off any pain medication (ibuprofen included) until after surgery. I was so tired, I slept until ... about 1a, when the rotator cuff alarm went off.

Probably didn't get much more than 15 minutes of sleep at a stretch. I'm beat. And still lots to do before Monday. Tons of things need doing on the day job front, a lot of work around the house, a few errands ... just hoping I can get it all done so I can the surgery done and sleep for about a month.

Wah. Poor me.

I need to quit whining and become more like my new hero:

1. Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
2. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
3. Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
4. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
5. Chuck Norris defines love as the reluctance to murder. If you’re still alive, it’s because Chuck Norris loves you.
6. Chuck Norris isn’t hung like a horse. Horses are hung like Chuck Norris.
7. If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can’t see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.
8. Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother’s womb.
9. There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.
10. Chuck Norris can win a game of Monopoly without owning any property.
11. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.
12. In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone has ever gotten.
13. Chuck Norris invented cancer because he was tired of killing people
14. In an average living room there are 1,242 objects Chuck Norris could use to kill you, including the room itself.
15. Chuck Norris is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.
16. Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
17. When Chuck Norris goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.
18. Chuck Norris has two speeds: walk and kill.
19.When Chuck Norris jumps into a body of water, he doesn’t get wet. The water gets Chuck Norris instead.
20. Chuck Norris can divide by zero.
21. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.
22. When Chuck Norris runs with scissors, other people get hurt.

Bonus: The propane truck showed up this morning. They are not happy with us since we started using wood for heat. We haven't needed a delivery since June. The tank was down to 48 gallons this morning, so they put 202 gallons (at $3.11 per gallon) into it.

Which sounds grim. Almost $600 worth of propane. But at our current levels, that's likely to last us well into the summer. Between February and June of last year, I had 675 gallons delivered. At this year's rates, that'd be about $2,100. So even after paying $190/month to get a cord of wood delivered (and we'll probably need about three more this year), we might save just a bit.

I think a chainsaw is in my future, but probably not until July or so.
