Getting up early

Today Harry and I had to get up at 4:30am. Some of you may know that my step dad, Chuck has Bladder Cancer. He has been fighting it for the past year. Today is his last chance and they are going to remove his bladder and prostate and then rebuilt his new bladder. They were taking him in at 6am and mom wanted us to be there to wish him luck. Also my aunt came the day before and stayed with us so she didn't have to drive much. So we got there at 5:30am and visited with Chuck until 7am when they took him into surgery. We waited in the waiting room for over eight hours as they preformed the surgery. Around 3:30pm they came out and said everything went as expected. They still have to check his lymph nodes for cancer but everything looked good. He was heading to ICU and we wouldn't be able to see him the rest of the night so Harry and I decided to head home. It was a long day and both of us were very tired. I am just glad that Chuck looks to be okay and will be home in two weeks.

The Bed Monster

My aunt Joyce came to stay with us for the night so Harry and I pulled out an air mattress that I borrowed from my brother. It was a queen size and at first I thought it was pretty good. We went to bed early because we had to get up at 4:30am. A few hours into our sleep Harry got up to go to the bathroom and the next thing I knew I had sunk down into the bed. The air was slowly leaking and what was once a nice firm airbed turned into a bed monster and had sucked my down to the floor. After that I couldn't get back in and instead slept on the couch. Harry on the other hand jumped back in and sat in the middle of the bed and sunk down and went to sleep. I normally don't mind the air mattress but this one was not fun.

Harry Potter 5 Again

Today we took my Dad to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This was Harry and I fourth time seeing the movie. It's been a few weeks since we saw it and again it was awesome. I can't wait to buy this on DVD. I don't think Harry will see it again in the theater but I hope to see it a few more times before it leaves.

Got my Star Trek Figures

Today I got the loose Star Trek figures that I purchased for only $150 bucks. I went through them all and oragnized them. There are 234 figures so that's .64 cents each.. wow what a great deal. I was like a geeky kid at Christmas... It's great to have these figures loose. I can hold them and move them around it's so much fun. Not only did ai get these figures but I got my 18" Harry Potter figure along with two 12" Harry Potter dolls that I purchased on Ebay. It was a good day for my toy collecting.

Being a Nice Guy

Well today I offered my services to my new job and said I would help them finish up there last episode for the first season. I figure I would be there for three or four hours but of course things never go as planned. What was a simple job turned into an ordeal and I didn't get out of work until nine hours later. Of course I didn't eat all day long and I felt it when I got home.. I felt strange when I got home and couldn't really explain it. I tried to eat something but couldn't. I wound up going upstairs and soaking in a bath. I had chills and couldn't get warm. I then got in bed and crashed.

More Action Figures

Today on one of my Star Trek action figures mailing list some put up there entire Star Trek playmate action figures. Even though I have all these figures this person's collection was loose and if you have seen my collection all of my stuff is mint in package. She was selling them quite cheap so I asked how much for the entire bunch. She emailed me back and said she would part with the figures for $150 shipped. This is a "SUPER" deal and I jumped right on it. Over 200 figures.. wow.. can't wait to get these.
