No, I'm not complaining, even though it might look that way at first. And yes, I can handle it, and a lot more. It's just draining. And being the middle of Winter in Dixie (15 degrees this morning), there is little recourse for recharging of one's batteries other than sleep. And I don't do that very well any more either. So, what's a guy to do? Drink? Smoke dope? Some do. Not my style though.
They say writing is therapeutic, but when you're a perfectionist, you're never satisfied with what you create. I did just see something that did warmed the cockles of my little heart. I'm always bragging on the guys that work at Tom & Jerry's Chevron across from the old Police Station on Highland, right? Well, I just got back from there and as I walked in the door, there was Ed, standing beside a guy in a power wheelchair helping him put his wallet back in his fanny pack and make sure it was securely zipped up. He then made sure all the things the guy had purchased was securely tied up in the bags and he hung them on the guy's power wheel chair. Even held the door open for him as he left too. And that did my heart good. It's nice to see people who care about their fellow human being. Don't see it a lot either.
My doggy buddy Garcia. He's got cancer. Already spread to his lungs, not much that can be done. Sad. We thought we were going to loose him this morning, but he made it to the Vet, got some shots and made it through another day. We'll pray for another night. Here's GarDog (brown), Elliot (white) and a funny girl named Caitlin (human), that loves them both.
The weekend is here, I gotta call my Dad and get some VA info from him that might help my Mother with some of the nursing home issues. Joy's gotta work tomorrow, Caitlin too. Maybe I'll stay up all night tonight so I can sleep all day tomorrow? Gotta go to the bank Monday and retrieve the last 5 years of my Mother's financial records, then hopefully to the VA office and file some papers there for my Mother. If the weather warms even a little, I'll be out of the house like a fly on a watermelon and be hitting the coffee shops trying to get to know the iPad a little better. Who knows what kind of stuff I may get into this weekend?
Oh... Saturday is my birfday. Yeah me! No, don't need/want anything, thank you very much though. I might get me a nice cupcake at one of the coffee shops???
I got a friend named Reggie that is doing the job search thing. To no avail. He's got a vision problem, can't drive, has to rely on public transportation. Very talented, great personality, not even ugly, just got more issues than most employers want to take on. I keep looking for him.
