Friday 19. Just one of those Days

Hello Friends.
Hope all are doing well. Here in Houston the weather as been crazy however still cold out but not freezing rain in the forecast. I’ve heard some folks say there rather be cold than Hot as they can always layer to keep warm then again I guess I don’t care for either. Why couldn’t my parents live in a climate that’s perfect all the time? Is there such a place? Yesterday Thursday wasn’t a good day for me as I had to get up way earlier than I’m normally use to and take my father to yet another doctors appointment. Doctor says he’s looking good and his eyes are clearing up nicely. However he has to go back to the doctor on Monday to be cleared so he can do the eye surgery next Wednesday. I’m taking that day off that day as he has to be there at six in the morning. There is not way I’ll last the day at work after about four hours of sleep. Moving my father has become a chore in itself. He’s still able to get around on his own power but its getting to the point he doesn’t like to walk on his own power. Makes me wonder what’s going to happen to me when I get around his age. Especially being one who doesn’t have kids. Then again not having kids doesn’t necessarily mean they will take care of me either. In the meantime I will do what I can to take care of him in his retirement years.

Got up this morning and it started off to be a good day but shortly after I got to work I hurt my back again. Nothing that would send me to the house but it’s been uncomfortable today for sure. My work wife gave me some meds to take for it and it worked some but I’m still a little uncomfortable. Just been a bad day all around since I got here. Dropped a coke on the floor and of course it burst and went all over my pants. Lucky I wore black pants today so it’s not showing at all. However hope no dogs will be out licking my pants legs on the way out the door. Friday and home visits for the kids. I’ve been turned every which way today as it seems my presents were needed just about everywhere. Now I know what Michael Jackson means when he said it makes you want to scream. I even went off on one of my supervisors as two had the nerve to call me while I was eating dinner to do a job that I wasn’t getting paid for. One thing you don’t do while I’m eating is call me to come do something as that’s my time and I wasn’t about to move. I told him to write me up if he wanted to but I wasn’t moving. I’ve been in this business to long to play those games. Save that for these new boots that are diving up here. I’m not the one for sure.

Blowing that over my head I have nothing really planned this weekend however will be a very busy man. Will’s birthday is on Sunday and I would love to be there with him to give him something he can feel but that’s not possible right now. However I have been sending Birthday cards all week so he’ll have a smile from ear to ear. I’ll give him a call on Sunday as well. He’ll be in town next Thursday as well as he’s having the lap band procedure done. Me I like him the way he is but as I many have mentioned he wants to do it and not because he wants to loose the weight but health wise as well. So it’s all good. W2’s were released today so I can get my income taxed done next week. All of it’s going towards getting my vehicle fixed. LORD knows I’m ready to have it back up and running. Pop’s truck is good for a spare vehicle but not an everyday driver. Not to mention it cost me twenty dollars less to operate my vehicle than it would my dad’s. Auto show will be here in two weeks and I’m looking forward to that as well. As I mention nothing special going on this weekend. So with that I’ll say hoe all have a good weekend and looking forward to hear from you all again soon. Since I can’t chat anymore during the week from work I have to play catch up on the weekend. A few of you have been sick due to the weather but I do wish you all a speedy recovery as well. Again hope all have a good weekend and until fingers meet keys be safe and looking forward to hearing from you all soon. Hugs my friends.
