Hammer Time

An unexpectedly busy day today. It started out quiet, but then the phone calls from elderly friends began. Long story short, I've been out doing things for people. I don't mind, I just hope I'm buying some 'special favors' as I get along in age. I got home just about the time it began to rain here,... Sign in to see full entry.

I Gotta Get With The Program!

Just a quick note to those asking about my health. My blood test came back with a slightly elevated white blood count, (10,000 vs a normal of about 4,500), meaning that my body was gearing up to fight something, but the rest of the blood test didn't show any signs of the endocarditis that I was...

Happy Saturday!

I'm feeling much better today than I have the past few days and I proceeding cautiously 'full speed ahead.' I'm still not sure what caused me to run a fever for a couple days, but I'm glad it's gone. I was supposed to be making a trip to the new house to affect a few more repairs, but I've relegated... Sign in to see full entry.

Burning Love

I'm not sure what I had, but I developed a fever of about 102F for the past couple days and I was very uncomfortable. I used all the typical things I used to advise people to do while I worked as an ER nurse, all to no avail. I did get a blood draw done just to see what might be happening, but the...

Pure Blather

If something else could go screwy this week, I'm still wondering what it might be. Nothing serious mind you, just enough to keep me busy doing things I'd not do if I had a choice. I have several elderly neighbors that need help doing things a couple times a week. It's not that I don't like helping... Sign in to see full entry.

It's A Nice Recliner!

I thought about doing a lot of stuff today, but then I thought about it again and decided to just relax. Hey, it's Fathers Day and I faintly remember having kids, but who knows? I faintly remember a lot of stuff. I'm working on something in my brain or what passes as such, and I think a spell in my... Sign in to see full entry.

An Agenda, Always An Agenda! (A Title with FIVE 'A" Words!)

I have plans that require I go back south today, but I'm waiting for a phone call. While I don't do about 80% of what I used to do for the local dirt track racing place, I still do the live streaming and write a small press release for them for Monday morning newspapers and Friday afternoon, "What's...

Twas A Glorious Day!

Yesterday was a great day. A very pleasant 76 or so most of the day and then a nice thunderstorm to cool it in the evening. We took John fishing and it wasn't until he was handed the rod that I was told was his, that he told me he had never been fishing before. I spent a few minutes teaching him...

Well, Here We Are (Hat tip to Dorothy Parker's 1931 Story)

We made it safely yesterday after having to wait a few minutes to go across the "Mighty Mac" due to high winds. While wound tighter than a 35 cent wrist watch, Johnny is having a great time. We went for a morning walk of about ten blocks and I don't think he took a single step without uttering three... Sign in to see full entry.

On The Road... Again!

Well, in less than twenty minutes, I'm headed to Mayberry to retrieve that truck. I'll be gone until Saturday afternoon. I have Internet access and such, so I may be taking my stuff with me and working up there. My office isn't ready for me, so everything is set up in the living room. I think...
