Good morning! Are you up yet? What's your plans for today?

Dan you're the man persevering through.

Brett definitely open a bakery/coffee shop one place stop then once it's successful sell it and live off the $ while you have time to relax enjoying life.

Good morning GTA! Happy Monday! I got up at 0430 and I’m about to grab my second cup o’Joe. I was on call this past week and they got me for 2 calls yesterday. I’m not sure what’s on the dispatch board for today, but there’ll be work for sure. After I get Ayrabella off to school, I’ll have to call the office. Only a few weeks left of school and I’ll be glad for that.

Mornin y’all. I slept a few hours last night.  This is probably one of the last days of my recuperation.  I go tomorrow for an evaluation by an occupational therapist. They will probably send me back to work on light duty.  I hate light duty.  So today is a day for relaxing before I have to jump back into that mess.

 Going to work, there I will be meeting up with a customer, to drop off a Daisy Mod 25 for some TLC, sounds like an older edition, will be interesting.

A belated good morning to you all. I got up at 6:15 this morning but didn't do anything until I left here to go to town at around 11:30 AM, I got back home at 7:00 PM. I helped my wife clear out the kitchen cupboards and most of the rest in the house. I packed up 4 boxes of cleaning products and brought them home. I plan on taking the rest of the furniture to donate it tomorrow.

 And there is a nice picnic table with four benches that my brother doesn't want that I will bring out here and set up near the Church.

Good morning GTA! Happy Tuesday! I got up around 0430 again. I’m at work waiting for another technician with a motor I need for a walk-in freezer. Should be a good day. I hope.

I'm going to the VA today. I've got to see the skin NP this morning so she can check for anymore skin cancer. Then I've got to get my eyes checked for new glasses. It's been close to 2 years since I've seen a optometrist. I've got to be there a half hour earlier so they can take pictures of my retina (?) to make sure the macular degeneration hasn't gotten worse.😳 At least no needles today!😁 I wonder if I'm going to have a fight with them about them wanting to dialate my eyes. I'm not letting them and is the reason it's been longer than a year.

Good morning GTA! Happy Tuesday! Went to bed at 1:00 and I got up around 6:30.

  I weighed 196.6 this morning, Apparently eating two meals of mostly protein combined with being on my feet all day and walking up to 4-6 miles a day is how I can speed up my metabolism.

  Since my wife and I both worked on emptying the kitchen cabinets and the furniture pick up didn't happen we will take the rest of the furniture to the pet rescue thrift store donation location today. Then all that will be left is the electronics recycle pile and the two Hammond Organs that are supposed to be picked up Thursday.

  There were lots of dishes and I was standing/walking on the floor joists emptying the cabinets and handing things to my wife just to get it done.

  The wiring that got cut has been repaired but took time away from getting the plywood floor install done since the contractor (my nephew) had to do that electrical repair so, the plywood is about half done. My nephew that is doing repairs in his spare time will hopefully get it finished up soon so that the floor covering guy can get the new vinyl plank flooring and Livingroom Carpet installed in the next few days. Then we will have almost two weeks to get my brother's stuff all moved in.

  Overall I am pleased with the rate of our progress.

 On a side note: while we were all at the place with my brother Saturday one of his adult granddaughters who was visiting from Arizona decided to be "helpful by going through his refrigerator, cleaning it out and get it ready for the coming move. My brother was shocked to find when he got back home that she threw out about $500 worth of his food so he wouldn't have to move it.    ("Bless her heart", as they say in the south)

As Brother Dave Gardner used to say “There’s a light! Did you see it?”

Oh beloved!  There’s a light!  Daylight!

Mornin y’all!    Mom, the memsahib, and myself be going on an adventure!  We’re headed up to the big city to visit some restaurant supply stores and hit re-store and maybe some thrift stores too.  We’re renovating our kitchen and the wife and I are thinking about replacing all the countertops with stainless steel.  We’re taking the dogs with us and planning our stops around their dog accessibility.  I think the “dog park” is probably on the agenda too.

Good Morning, up at 6:40 this morning.
  The first thing my wife said to me this morning is "you didn't sleep very well last night." But I was in bed longer than usual at 7 hours, and I am only feeling normal levels of pain this morning, nothing extra from my fall on the concrete yesterday.

  As hard as I landed I was expecting a bad morning today. How did I fall you ask? I was going through a narrow spot between my truck and a planter on the side walk (I had backed my pickup over the curb on the corner so that it would be easier to load things from the patio) when my leading foot caught on the planter, I went down like a felled tree since there was no way to get the other foot to the front. I landed on my left side with my elbow and back of my left hand hitting first.

 My wife just said a few minutes earlier "don't trip on that planter".     I think I answered "I know" or something to that effect, I know I thought "of course that's obvious"! I think pride went before me and I literally fell as a result.       

 I should try to haul off the electronic recycles today, but I don't have any help available today and there are a couple of items I can't load alone and I really want to do all of it in one load. Tomorrow my wife and I have plans and are going out of town with friends.

  I may just take the day off?

Dan.  Tell your doctor about the fall.  That was a textbook torn rotator cuff fall.  It doesn't necessarily hurt worse than any other fall.  f you start experiencing persistent pain in your shoulder your doctor will have a record of when this happened.

  Thanks for the advice Carter. I think by the time I go to the doctor again I won't remember it. LOL

  My left forearm is sore but as hard as I hit the concrete and I did hit hard, I think I escaped serious injury somehow.
