Recapping The Weekend

I hope all are well. I had a wonderful weekend however yesterday we reached the three digits of one hundred and two. A record for us here as we normally don’t reach the three digits. Then again certain parts of the U.S. are going through a heat wave. I guess after 63 days of rain it was bound to come. All I can say is Mother Nature has lost her ever loving mind. Recapping my weekend, Friday work as usual nothing exciting there. It was fairly easy so I wasn’t complaining. Than again it wouldn’t do any good anyway. Found out our second build will finally be opening around the twenty fifth of this month. Still haven’t decided if I’m going over there however my work wife is and she wanted me over there bad. I would like to go to a morning shift and enjoy evenings off again but we’ll see what happens there. Working in a prison for 15 years I’m not to king on small and tight places especially when you have a bunch of teenage boys running around. Gang activity has really been getting out of control but we’re holding fast and breaking them down. Something about being a teenager they just don’t think straight.

Saturday morning took the truck back to the mechanic to see if he could find the leak and the damn thing never leaked while it was there. Got it home and there it went. So I’ve been parking it on the streets So it won't spot the driveway more than it already has until I can get it back over to the mechanic and leave it so they can find the leak and fix it. In the meantime I’m been keeping up with the fluids to make sure so nothing breaks down on me. I’ll be able to buy a little run about here in a month, so I’m going to nurse this one until that time as it’s time to retire the old girl.

Got home and took me a nap as I was exhausted from the ordeal. Got up about three and called Bob John as he wanted to go eat dinner, Sort of like a belated Birthday dinner. It was nice of him then again he wanted some company too so it worked out. We ended up at the Texas Road House. My first time in one but Logan’s Road House is similar as well so it wasn’t that much of a difference. Man was the eye candy in there. You talk about opening your eyes, it was nice. We got there just in time to beat the crowds. We decided on a movie afterward and ended up seeing The Borne Ultimatum. I have to say it was good and plenty of action. I won’t give away the ending but lets say they left it open for a forth.

Sunday help move my nephew back to college. Senior this year and I’m ready to see his little narrow ass get out and working a regular job. He’s a little strange but he doesn’t do drugs or drink so I can be thankful to that. Nice place he’s living in as well. Of course every student on the grounds was moving in that day so it was U haul city in the complex. I was hot, dirty and tired when it was all over. Made it home took a good shower and laid my back ass down of course after I got something to ear and watched BIG LOVE.

So It’s Monday and so far it’s going good. Got up early and working on a few things that needed my attention. It’s suppose to get another three digit day today so I’ll make sure I stay in doors. Well not much else to tell. I do hope all had a great weekend and an even wonderful week ahead. So until fingers meet keys do take care my friend and chat soon. Hugs to you all.

The Start Of A New Week

Monday, and I’m feeling much better than I was over the weekend. I tell ya, running a fever of 103 isn’t a good feeling at all as all kinds of things ran though my head. Not to mention the hot sweats and chills I was having. Even had to turn down the air a bit. I didn't go out much, only to get the paper and maybe some soups and things to help me on the road to recover. Over all I’m on my way to recover and the wound is draining pretty good now. Got the truck back over the weekend and it has to go back. When they dropped the transmission to fix one leak they caused another leak somewhere. Needless to say I’m not to happy about driving it back over there but we do what we have to do. Of course I didn’t see my father as the fever had me drained. I guess I needed the rest. When the fever finally started breaking I felt refreshed. Over all nothing else really to talk about. I hope all had a great weekend and looking forward to an even wonderful week ahead. Until fingers meet keys. Hugs to you all.

Still Down For The Count

Well I’ve been suffering with this Spider bite or Staff infection for four days now. I’m in cline to think it’s a staff infection. Last night was running a fever of 103 and thought it was never going to pass. Since I’m rarely sick it was an experience as I didn’t know what was going on. However I’ve been keeping myself hydrated with fluids as the antibiotics has me going to the rest room more then I care to. My poor poop shoot is sore for sure. I like those good flushing but not in that way, not to mention I’ve lost three pounds since all this has started. I like loosing the weight but not this way. I want to thank my entire friends who dropped your well wishes and concerns for me. They are greatly appreciates for sure. I still have a little ways to go but if the fever consists I will be in the Doctors office again in Monday morning. Good news I got the truck back and parked is as I haven’t been up to doing anything at all. Well that’s about it as I wanted to update so the ones who didn’t know what was going on with me. Hugs to you and until fingers meet keys.

New Month, Hump Day

Well another Hump day and the first day of a new month. I’m doing ok except for a swollen arm from something that bit me Friday night. I’ve nursed it long enough and like most stubborn men finally going to the doctor to have him check it out. It’s really been bothering me today and sleep was really awkward sleeping one way so the pain wouldn’t wake me up. I guess I was I’m always trying to see how butch I am and push it to the limits. Truck broke down on me on Monday so now I’m using my mother’s vehicle. Needless to say I didn’t make it work this past Monday. One thing about being on salary you can take off more but I won’t abuse my time that’s for sure. Took the truck to my dads shade tree mechanic and he called this morning and said he wasn’t going to be able to work on it. So I have to go pick it up tonight and take it somewhere else. I tell you I really don’t need these issues in my life right now but the way I look at it. Life is about challenges and if we’re not up for the challenges then we won’t make it in life.

Weekend was restful but as usual always busy on my project. I visited my father as he’s in good spirits. The home took them on a field trip yesterday, Tuesday to the big Aquarium restaurant downtown. He enjoyed getting out then again he enjoys getting out anytime. I’ve been having some issues with the neighbors next door as they are the new folks on the block. They have a dog the constantly barks and it’s really becoming annoying. Sunday morning it started raining about Five AM and the dog started barking as I know it wanted in the house. Two hours later it finally stopped. Lucky I didn’t have to go to work that day or I would have been pissed. I contacted the home owners association and it’s not much they can do but send a letter. So I called 311 to see what my options were and they directed me to the sheriff’s office. I haven’t called them yet but don’t think I won’t. This is really getting out of hand. I get along with all my neighbors but I tell you these folks are kind of off the wall. We’ll see how things transpire in weeks to come.

Well really nothing else to tell here. Just rolling along. I’ll keep all informed on my arm situation as well. Hug to you all and do take care. Until fingers meet keys.
