Thankfully Mystery Girl and I have moved to emailing. The whole 'not texting' dealio went over okay I guess. The emails are interesting, and we are trading them off daily. She works three, twelve hour shifts.. I am unclear when these are but okay.

The question/answer game is getting frustrating, but providing useful tid bits from the meta data collected. She works well giving 'non answers'... things like "What sort of music do you listen to?" and I get back "I listen to what I like"... mkay... that doesn't help. Book choices seem aligned to what I would have guessed... she digs concerts - even for bands she doesn't like because live music is fun.. odd... She has affirmed multiple times she is not a boring person..

*sigh* I don't know. I am shooting for some sort of "let's get coffee" and go from there.

About 10pm I get a response text. She wanted to trade texts because she's at work.. Ah.. okay.. limited texting plan but I told her I was off to bed... not a biggie. Now a few more texts coming in.. I am going to have to break it to her that I hate texting and only have a limited number on my plan. That should be an interesting curve ball.. I wonder how she'll interpret that. The game continues.

Ah.. so Ali I left you a message. I figured it would go to voicemail after a few rings - hell that's what I would have done for the thirty or so notes left in the rain on cars. I called, affirmed the car it was left on, my name, and extended an opportunity to meet up and chat.

Your move Mr. Bond...

I get out to my car this morning (super duper early... I am talking leaving my place at 7.17am early! [got to work at 7.55am]) and notice a piece of paper under my windshield wiper blade - passenger side. Greaaaaat I thought. What ass hat hit my car, stole my radio, or has some other complaint. I notice it's folded in half and still more or less intact from the rain last night. Carefully I separate it and lo-and-behold it's a note. From Ali the Nurse/Nursing Assistant/Medicalie person who drove the white SUV - sometimes parted at odd angles. It informs me she moved out, thinks I am cute, is unsure of my relationship status, and I should text or call her at a given number. Niiiiiiiice.

Here I was all set to texting that crazy broad, who has a family but didn't tell me at the time - thank you Myspace, for a lark but this might be more interesting.

I am a bit fuzzy on details for this Ali. We shall see.

God.. is it 9am already? It feels like I have been here forever!

You hit 200,000 miles on 156th and Maple yesterday circa three minutes before 8pm. Congrats on the achievement.

A lame day was followed by a fun fire pit hang out at Anders' and Emily's place. All was going well except Head decided that the party wasn't going his way and threw a fit. He got his laptop, played his Michael Jackson CD, and became sullen. He was barking at The D' and making irrational demands. There was terse discussions that lead to the all too familiar party-buzz-kill from those talks. He wanted to pick a fight and I am certain he probably did before the night was out.

Deals.Woot.com has a special alleging "$329 -- St. Thomas 4-Star Marriott Vacation w/Air, $400 OFF".

More like 5 nights (with flight) for $1129.00 per person. Hmm.... no food or transportation there.. plus baggage fees... Hmm.. that could be do-able..

Screw savings accounts.

I was able to secure three bags of crap (well technically one bag and at minimum three craps) from woot.com's wootoff at 4.15pm today! I don't think I have anything left from the last BOC - which I got 11/17/06. Hurray for me!

I couldn't get back to sleep until about 5.30a or so.. Was mildly hallucinating that I could feel the Benadryl working. Finally got to sleep.. slept through two alarms.. got up about 8.30a to head to work.

The Bennies are definitely working. The painful swelling is reduce and it no longer looks like my lip is going to burst and spew forth some foul liquid. I took two more with some gatoraide. Hopefully the fluids disperse more.

So yes, I am alive.

Circa 9pm I noticed I was scratching at the side of my face and my lip was getting puffy... this would be the bottom left size of my mouth.. almost at the corner of my mouth. After watching the episode of futurama the puffy was expanding..

I scoured google for a few... realized I had no Benadryl and just iced it.. a lot.. Got some drawing done... read my book (and iced it some more) until about 12.15am.

Woke up about 4am and the swelling was worse but localized to the whole bottom left lip from the corner to the middle. Yikes. Went on line to see if missed anything. It's now about three times larger than normal and a bit painful.

PC boots up and facebook starts... future brother in law was hammered and thinks it might be herpes. I jet out to get some Benadryl from the ol' walmart. I took two about eight minutes ago. (4.30am.) We'll see how this goes. If it's worse in two hours then Emergicare I go. I would prefer not to, but will if I have to. I would also prefer not missing the yankees game in KC this Saturday.

As far as I can tell the only thing consumed today (Thursday):
- lunch (11.30am) - elephant ear pork loin at the Crescent Moon.
- dinner was BW3 circa 7.15pm.. usual spicy garlic but I added six caribbean jerk (versus usual honey bbq).

My guess something in the jerk sauce is causing it.

I was a bit hot.. sweating subsided... I think the tablets are kicking in. Let's hope so.

For the record I am not having problems breathing (constricted throat) or tongue swelling.

If I die - let someone know the circumstances.
