Jonah's healing nicely.

We're past the Neosporin-on-a-gauze-pad phase. We ended up picking up a tube of the Neosporin plus pain relief. That stuff is amazing. If I get this job at the casino, I'm picking up a tube to keep in my knife roll for minor burns. Now we're into the Vaseline-on-a-gauze-pad phase, for the next couple of days.

It doesn't seem to be causing Jonah much pain, except for when he's running and does the splits on accident, or right around bedtime when he's been active all day. Nothing a dose of Tylenol can't fix. It looks to be healing up quite well too. The stitches are dissolving, and most of the redness is gone. His peep doesn't have the "collar" on it that every other circumcised penis that I've seen has, but that's just a cosmetic thing, and perhaps it'll form. If not, I don't really care. The important thing is that it's been mended.

I haven't heard from the casino yet, but it's a holiday weekend. Hopefully I'll know by Wednesday.

I'm still without a street-legal vehicle, so tonight, I got to walk down to Family Video to return a movie of Diddy's that I'd forgotten to take back, then up to the store to get Jonah more Tylenol - the store in question being WalMart. I hate going there, and if I'd had a bit more energy I would have gone to Meijer's, but I just couldn't do it. My legs were seizing up, my back was screaming at me, and I was cursing the state laws that require tags to be renewed every year. All total, I had nearly a 7 mile hike tonight. I had to take a long hot shower to get my muscles to relax enough to bend forward. But, Jonah got his Tylenol, and that's all that matters.

I've been browsing online for a new vehicle. If I get this job, I'd like to start trying to sock away $15 per paycheck toward a down payment. The van's got over 207,000 miles on it, and while it still runs fairly reliably, I'd like to have something a little newer, especially for Flint trips. I'll probably go through Tailored Enterprises again - the whole parking ticket fiasco really did a number on my credit.

My phone's still shut off. Another reason I hope I get the job.

For anyone thinking about making a donation to the blog, as a wonderful girl did recently, I'm having paypal issues. I can accept donations through Jeremy's paypal, however, so leave me a comment with your email, and I'll send you his paypal address.

That's about all I've got tonight. I'm exhausted.
