Sunday was a weird day for me – I woke up – if you can call feeling like a truck rolled over me twice while Tony Stewart was doing donuts on my head “waking up” – with stuffed sinuses and a major headache. Every muscle in my body hurt. TMBWitW got up and took care of the animals, and handed me some meds. I don’t really remember taking them, but I do remember the phone ringing and ringing and ringing thousands of years later. It was Papa, asking if we were OK – because we weren’t at the fellowship yet, and it was almost time to start the studies. I assured him, in what little voice I had, that TMBWitW and MEG were on their way and I would not be there. At least, that’s what I thought I said. I’m not sure if that’s what came out on his end of the phone.
The next time I woke up, TMBWitW was asking me if I was OK, and if I needed anything before she headed back over to Pastor’s house for the afternoon. She gave me another dose of something (oh, how trusting are we when we can’t hold a coherent thought?) and I fell back asleep for a while. I woke up again, just in time to watch the last quarter or so of the game.
At one point, I recall getting a Tweet from Texas Fred regarding the gullibility of some people – and of course, I had to call him. Good talking to you, Fred. We gotta do that more often.
Other than that, Sunday passed quietly and uneventfully. Well, for me, anyway.
Monday I was feeling much better.
Today great progress has been made. The chiropractor has been visited, dry cleaning has been picked up, and the appointment with the Eye, Nose, Throat doctor is on the agenda. Tinnitus is such a drag. It has gotten worse in the last four months, for whatever reason, to the point that without something in the background all I can hear is a constant static ringing loud enough to be distracting when it’s quiet and I’m trying to concentrate on something like reading.
On the up side, one of the insurance companies involved with my wife’s accident has sent a settlement check – but of course, they want to buy her off cheap. The repairs on the car may not be as cheap as they think. After all, they recommend used parts, and the car is not going to be rebuilt using used parts. My wife deserves better than that – since the parts being replaced weren’t used before the accident. We are insisting on OEM parts.

My day off has switched to Tuesdays. It may change again in the future, depending on the scheduling needs of the store. We’ve been training a new closer, and so far so good. It will be nice to be back down to 45 hour weeks again …
Since it’s my day off, I will be working on the cars. Mine, because it’s old and needs nearly constant attention, and TMBWitW’s, because it has decided to cop an attitude now that it’s paid off. For instance, today it wants a new starter, I think – I’m going to have to jumpstart it and get it to the nearest diagnostician.
And then there’s the cats.
They have decided that they want to live outside, so I will be building them an area of safe refuge in a shady corner of the yard. You know, keep the dogs out of their food bowls, someplace to curl up and take a nap without worrying about the dogs using them as chew toys, etc. MEG keeps asking when the “Cat House” will be ready for them …
Well, the longer I use the computer the longer the chores will take.

Kind of weird, today – since I’ve changed my day off to Tuesday and I no longer have Friday to loll about the pool. Turns out that in retail, it is very unusual for a manager to have Friday off, and being new to retail I didn’t know that. That has now changed, with all necessary changes made to the logistics involved with having a young child.
Speaking of which – she turns 5 today. Hard to believe that it’s been five years since God blessed us with MEG’s presence. She is so grown up – she’s reading, and knows basic math, and the way her mind works is just wonderful to watch. She will look at something and puzzle out the how or why, and then ask if what she figured out was correct.
Due to the agreement with her mother, I will not be posting a picture of her on this blog. You might be able to catch a view of her on Facebook, in occasional pictures here and there.

Here you go, Obama(THHO) – your daily reminder that you are not long for the White House. (as always, click on the image to embigify – credit to the ARRA News Service for the cartoon)
Other than that, I got nothing. I’m spending the day with my daughter, and we are going to stimulate the local economy a bit. Ya’ll have a good weekend, ya hear?
