Better.

I'm in the final and QA stage of a project and the Project Manager made major changes at the last minute. Last night she sent out an email that made no sense (she's tired like the rest of us) and it's the first thing I saw this morning. Luckily, I was able to get her on the phone for a conference call and she made sense of what looked like one big mess.

I have my work cut out for me and will work again this weekend, but will probably take the rest of the day off for some retail and piano therapy (going to Costco then home to play the 88s), then get back at it tomorrow morning.

These things happen and life could certainly be worse.

Good and bad...

The bad:

Yesterday I injured my ankle rather badly while attempting to tackle my 80 pound pit bull. Long story.

The good:

Although this occurence has caused a lot of strife in my life (stairs are now a very interesting kind of cardio yoga) I have decided to make the most of what will surely be a lengthy healing time. I am enrolling in an online course I’ve been wanting to take. Lemonade from lemons!

The other bad:

I may have to forgo our planned trip to Salem for Halloween. We’ve got over a week til then so I will try to remain hopeful.

Kitty you were in Salem !! I live less than 2 mi. from where your visited. Right now its all tourist's , and where they said the slayings took place isn't even in Salem. It's a town called Danvers, right next to Salem. Where the slayings actually happened would send shivers right threw you. The judge who ordered the slayings bought property in Danvers where he built an insane asylum . Till this very day the structure is very, haunted. They turned the property into a high end apartment building.

How intriguing ocean! (I) also found it was inhabited by Native Americans for quite a while before the settlers..I wonder how the founders of the town managed to get the Indians off? I lived for many years on former Indian lands by a tribe long extinct and it was very haunted..and not with nice ghosts..these ghosts startled people who came to visit and not in a kind way...Salem has a deep history.. Truly, how exciting that you live so near( i would love to hear more, sometime..i hear there are many witches who decided to make Salem and the surrounding area..home..i find that odd...but then nothing surprises me when you consider the nature of humans :) here's what i found...

"Salem Witches"
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Witchcraft_at_Salem_Village.jpg/600px-Witchcraft_at_Salem_Village.jpg
The central figure in this 1876 illustration of the courtroom is usually identified as Mary Walcott.

The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. More than 200 people were accused, nineteen of whom were found guilty and executed by hanging (fourteen women and five men). One other man, Giles Corey, was pressed to death for refusing to plead, and at least five people died in jail. It was the deadliest witch hunt in the history of the United States.

Twelve other women had previously been executed in Massachusetts and Connecticut during the 17th century. Despite being generally known as the Salem Witch Trials, the preliminary hearings in 1692 were conducted in several towns: Salem Village (now Danvers), Salem Town, Ipswich, and Andover. The most infamous trials were conducted by the Court of Oyer and Terminer in 1692 in Salem Town.

The episode is one of Colonial America's most notorious cases of mass hysteria. It has been used in political rhetoric and popular literature as a vivid cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism, religious extremism, false accusations, and lapses in due process.[1] It was not unique, but a Colonial American example of the much broader phenomenon of witch trials in the early modern period, which took place also in Europe. Many historians consider the lasting effects of the trials to have been highly influential in subsequent United States history. According to historian George Lincoln Burr, "the Salem witchcraft was the rock on which the theocracy shattered."[2]

At the 300th anniversary events in 1992 to commemorate the victims of the trials, a park was dedicated in Salem and a memorial in Danvers. In November 2001, an act passed by the Massachusetts legislature, exonerated 5 people,[3] while another one, passed in 1957, had previously exonerated 6 other victims.[4] As of 2004 there was still talk about exonerating all the victims,[5] though some think that happened in the 19th century as the Massachusetts colonial legislature was asked to reverse the attainders of "George Burroughs and others".[6] In January 2016, the University of Virginia announced its Gallows Hill Project team had determined the execution site in Salem, where the nineteen "witches" had been hanged. The city owns the site and is planning to establish a memorial to the victims."

FIRST DAY OFF since late march that I do not have school work over my head, a medical appointment to take mum to, chores I have to get done for my mum, I cleared my day of my own chores, my house is clean (save my dishes), there are NO co-op meetings to go to, no co-op errands to run.

I'm ecstatic.
So far I read up on some pain pathology journals, something I haven't done in a while.
Made plans for a friends birthday on a week.
Made myself a lovely breakfast.
Loaded up a Docu-fest to watch on meso and neolithic culture in UK and Ireland.
And made appointment for a physio appointment on Monday, after Ikea with dad.

I went grocery shopping last night for my day today. I'm making spelt bread and bone broth for the week. And today I'm having corn tortilla baked into chips, then sprinkled with roast chicken bits, extremely aged cheese, peppers, hot banana peppers, tomatoes, zucchini. And a dip made from yogurt, parmesan, pepper, salt, spring onion greens.

Then I might bike down to the harbour for a bit in the early eve.

I've turned my phone off and I'm about to turn my computer off too :)

so happy for a day without looming obligations!!!!

I am not sure if I will be able to sleep tonight. What if I sleep thru the alarm in the morning? What if my blood work isnt good enough for them the start. Hell it has been over 2 months since we found out I had cancer just how good is it suppose to be?

Questions I have 1000s of them and I don't know the answers or if anyone else has the answers. Its a horrible place to be and I dont wish it on anyone

I haven’t experienced what you are going through and I can not compare it nor would I try. But I know the feeling of worrying about sleeping through the alarm with important procedure in the morning, being nervous, anxious etc. and having a million questions. I go in ready to ask and the doctors are always so damn quick and fast and I usually get some questions in but the environment feeling rushed makes me feel rushed and I talk too fast and rushed and leave then realize I forgot to ask half my questions. So if this happens to you make them stay and listen to you! Make them slow down. I hate how doctors are these days. Good luck to you!

Right now a bit of anxiety. Just did a little research.

So I came across articles about how it can impact cognitive function one being memory loss. Just great. Part of me wishes I didn’t research that!!! :(

I'm feeling so very much better, thank Gawd. :cheer:

I spent a couple of days in the hospital with a large (8 mm in size) painful kidney stone. The stone is too large for me to "pass" normally, so they had to put a stent in my right ureter. I will go back in for surgical removal of the stone on the 20th of this month. I guess they will do lithotripsy and blast it, then pull out the "shards" surgically, via the stent. Until then, I'm taking a lot of meds for pain, spasm and discomfort and am working on ceasing to pee blood. :|

For now, though, I am (very happily) back home with my dear wife, who is taking such wonderful care of me.....and my 3 fur babies. My little cat, Tootie, has not left my side since I arrived home yesterday. :heartbeat:

I am so very truly blessed. :winky::heartbeat:

I am feeling pissed off!

I ordered an NcStar mag tube mount for my 12 gauge (one inch long, 3 weaver rails which provide 5 angled positions) ...

I just read online that our clown president declared a national day of mourning for George H. W. Bush. USPS is suspending regular mail delivery and retail service today.

I think this is a bit much!!! I am at work today and have not been told to go home and mourn. Doubt any of you have been told to leave either.

My gadget is stalled out in the western U.S. for a day because this old fart passed away. George lived a long life, had everything he could possibly want. Our bodies wear out. His wore out. Prezzy Clown went way overboard! I would think the same thing if it did not affect my gizmo delivery.

I had one sick doggy who got me up every hour to run outside. The other doggy recovering from her surgery is VERY demanding that she be glued to me all night. Any time I move, she scrambles and scratches and digs with all four feet to ram her little body against and under my ribs. She doesn't let me get settled under the blanket or fluff my pillow. She has an absolute panic attack trying to get under me. She must think she's gonna get kicked out of bed. But it's a queen size! EVERY time I moved I got this seven pound KNOT WITH CLAWS in my ribs or boobs. Made it worse if she had her E-collar on.
Yes, I had to remove her face and E-collar from my boob several times!

It's great for softening skin but why would someone do that? A bruise is underneath the skin. I could see massaging the area as it helps to increase circulation or using herbs and vitamins to help speed healing but can't see the benefit of using Vaseline on a bruise. It won't help it heal and bruises don't require covering.

Does your family do that for bruises? I find that very interesting!

For thread compliancy, I feel okay. I'm getting hungry as it's been 6 hours and change since I ate but I am heading to bed so I'll just suck it up, get some shuteye and have a big breakfast later.

I used "bruised" as a generic term for a boo boo.
When I picture a shopping cart running into someone's heel I imagine broken skin actually not a bruise per se.

Feeling better since I got home.

I thought for sure I would be robbed in Walmart parking lot tonight at 11:30 p.m.

I was exiting Walmart with a huge buggy of groceries. My truck was sitting alone ... four empty rows on both sides of it. I unlocked and opened both doors on the driver side and had put one bag in the back when a mid size late model sports car came very quickly, pulled up so their driver side door was facing mine. All the windows had dark tint. First I turned, faced the car with my hands on my hips and glared at the car for about thirty seconds. Next, I took my shotgun out of a tube thru the suicide door, turned it upside down, gazed in the well and racked it, making certain the person in that car so close was the only one who could see what I was doing. Put it on the front seat in easy reach at a good grab angle if I needed it ... went back to unloading groceries which took a good fifteen minutes. The car did not move even after I drove away.

I don't know. Perhaps I read this situation incorrectly and over-reacted or maybe I didn't.

Thinking on the drive home ... if it was innocent, any decent person would have driven away after they saw me alarmed enough to pull out a shotgun and rack it.

Funny thing, it had no shells in it. I never carry a loaded shotgun in the truck. It goes totally against my safety and comfort level. Too many accidental discharges happen with these type firearms. I did slip shells into my jacket pocket when I removed it from the tube. If necessary, I could have easily loaded a couple of shells as I pulled it off the front seat.

It is a fact, parking lot robberies increase around Christmas time.

Everyone, please be aware of your perimeters when you are out and about this time of year. Pay close attention!

Sad that some people will become a statistic.

Trying not to get annoyed.

My fire alarm has been chirping since the wee hours of the morn. I was able to sleep thru it. This morning I was going to change the battery. The alarm is located in the living room in a not the highest point of the ceiling. I looked at it, looked around and got my bar height dinning room chair. Pulled out the step stool, grabbed the battery, and climbed up on that chair.

Drats! About a foot within reach. I'm tall, but alas it fails me with these high ceilings.

I then look around, I have a very sturdy solid foot stool. I'll put that on top of my chair. I start to climb up, and notice the edge of my coffee table, the glass shelves of my TV stand, the heavy claw like base of my dining room table. My thoughts go to landing on any of those.

I decided I will call for maintenance and just be safe.

I'm turning up the music, lol.

Mentally and physically exhausted.

I wasn't supposed to work today but I went in for a few hours to catch up before the weekend since I'd been out all week for the holidays.

2 hours after I got in our street was filled with police and K-9 unit and state troopers and other trucks I couldn't name. Police hiding behind cars with guns drawn, dogs everywhere, sirens everywhere. I put our building on lockdown and called police to see what on earth was going on. All they could tell me was there was a "situation" at the church a block up the road. I asked if we should be on lockdown, they couldn't tell me. I asked if there was a person at large to watch for, they couldn't tell me. It was another 2 1/2 hours before we would know there was a bomb threat with a person saying they had an AR-15 ready to shoot any police who came.

We put the child care children into shelter in place in one room in the basement. I ran around the upper floors putting all the residents who were home to shelter in place in another location up there. All while remaining calm to not freak out children and adult residents more than they already were. Then it was just watching and waiting. Quiet inside, sirens and chaos outside.

News hardly reporting anything other than heavy police presence.

Eventually, hours later, the pastor at the church was able to say that their surveillance cameras didn't show anyone entering or leaving the church and that it must have been a false alarm. But they weren't saying anything about police actually having searched the church physically, so we waited longer.

Eventually all but two police cars left the scene. Roads were still closed. But we got parents to get their children from the daycare and we got the residents of our buildings out of shelter and went into an uncomfortable space of more waiting.

But we're clear now, though I still don't know what happened. At least I'm home and it seems the danger has been cleared. My spouse brought me home CBD infused tea and whiskey which I will partake in shortly. That will help settle my nerves. Spouse is driving my daughter to a party and picking her back up after so I don't have to be responsible for that. I need to just decompress.

2019 has to better--2018 sucked all the joy out of life. :fastdraq:

Shocked, saddened, and angry as well that my fellow soldiers both female and male have experienced devastating illnesses throughout their lives because we lived in a toxic dump/experimental site during our basic training and/or AIT at Fort McClellan, Alabama. I do not use fb, but thankfully there are fb groups where Fort McClellan soldiers are banning together to work at passing legislation so that those ill because of their time in that toxic environment can receive medical benefits. I still will not use fb, but have found another way to support my fellow soldiers. Do check out the link of the website that is one way one of our female soldier is addressing and supporting us.

And, in case your wondering...No, I know I am beyond blessed to continue being healthy...and am more grateful than words can say.


Found out about this today and am sharing with all of you Vets, and lovers of Vets past and present who completed basic training and/or AIT at Fort McClellan, Alabama WAC, US Army no matter the year.

I feel like I want to crawl back under the covers again. It was SOOO deliciously warm with the new to me duvet and my freshly washed comforter. I didn't even need socks last night.

I'm also feeling like I don't want to go out in the 11 degree cold but am very grateful that the storm is going to cross south of us and so the weekend, while cold, should be dry.

Greco, thanks for your post about Ft McClellan ... I did my basic training there and then stayed for my other training too after that. I will read about it later this evening when I get settled. The only things I liked about basic training was the wonderful all you can eat at every meal food. The cooks had it going on!! And throwing live grenades, shooting m-60s, m-16s ... scored top on all that. When we did m-60 night fire on our bellies at distant tanks, the boo-lits were rigged ... you could see them, watch them go hundreds of yards ... so cool! Enough of my memory lane.:)

I have had a darn good week. Feeling pretty good tonight. Been in training and my favorite instructor taught the class. He is about the most kind hearted person I have ever met .... known him for probably a decade. We fly him in from extreme NorthEast. He is head of Electrical and Computer Science Divisions at an impressive college there. In his electrical engineering classes, they get to design their own computer chips. Once my friend the instructor looks over everone's chip design to ensure it will work, the designs are sent off to be built. I find that immensely interesting!

I told him he hurt my feelings because I had asked him 3 times to send me photos of his wife's chickens. We laughed and laughed. I think I will receive photos soon. His wife is a dear too. She came with him one time and we all went out to dinner. Good people! The world could sure benefit for a lot more like them.

Hey Friend, I know it can be a difficult thing to do but perhaps you could try and fit in more time to sleep and or rest. You seem to be tired a lot lately.

I know when I get run down from lack of sleep over a long period of time and it is cold outside, I usually get really sick with the flu.

Not trying to run your business, only concerned.

I am feeling a bit grumpy towards myself.

I am out of milk and have to drive about 24 miles round trip to buy some. I intended to pick up 2 gallons Friday on the way home from work but forgot. It is cold outside, almost dark and I just drank the last glass I had.

I don't do well knowing there is no milk in the fridge. I know if I do not make the trip, it will be a rough night. :(

Plus, I have three fingers that hurt like all hell from the deep cracks in them. This always happens in cold weather - I forget about putting lotion on my hands. I bet my African-American friend who works at Home Depot has them too. He takes his gloves off and does a show-n-tell ... his looks worse because of skin color ... he is such a fun guy!! And a splinter in my right elbow that I cannot reach to extract. Laura (work friend) will take care of it tomorrow ... and laugh at me while she is doing it.

Woe is me but will be much better once I get the milk.

Someone inquired in my previous post:

"why do you specify "African American" friend? Why not just my friend that works at Home Depot?"

It is because of the color of his skin (darker) and it makes his finger splits look worse than mine. I thought I stated that (maybe not so clearly) in the post.

Probably others who wondered too ... thanks for allowing me to explain the "why" :)

Yup that about does it.
The moving that was supposed to happen last month is happening this month instead as “we speak”. A little stressful but happy about it and parts of it are fun. I find fixing things up and clearing off parts of the land fun.

Also I went for a second opinion on my chronic abdominal pain since my surgery..... damn it’s been 7 months! Wow... anyway she is going to do exploratory surgery to see if it’s adhesions and if so she will cut them out. I hope that it is! I want off all these nerve meds that is making my bp and heart rate high, and more often than not, sleep too much.

I have a few more things going on too that I Hope turn out well. :)

And I have to be up at 4am to get ready and go for surgery. Wish me luck!
