The workweek is off to a fast start. Hope I can keep the good pace of progress I set this weekend going also. My first thought this day turns to our brisk morning and strong breezes. An interesting change of pace from the early summer we were having that last stretch. It feels fresh outside after that light rain in the dark of night.
So I blink my eyes and the day has passed and the seat at work is warm.
It didn’t turn into the day I expected but that is the way things go sometimes. I had to think on my feet a bit and help a family member and an old friend with some wisdom, experience and advice. I’m glad to do it and I hope it helps in both of their situations.
Only time will tell if that can happen. I hope it does and in some ways it would be a great relief to many.
You don’t want to shred through all your money before your time is up.

Give it to me straight doc
That time of year again. The semi annual meeting with the cancer doc is this week. I guess its sort of like going to court and waiting to hear your sentence from the judge. But when you get your sentence the perspective from a criminal is reversed. You want LIFE. To only get a few years is bad news.
The times in between our cancer we are on parole. We have to report and be tested. Interesting how there are parrelles there also. What have you been doing since the last visit? Who have you seen? How are you feeling? Have you traveled? Are you working? What drugs are you taking?
I guess another example would be like a miracle drug cure comes along at the last minute to save your life. Sort of like getting a stay of execution by Presidetial Pardon.
It would be nice to have my previous two offences expunged and be given a clean bill of health one day. But I don’t think that day is this week. But I can hope.
And I remember each day that I’m a lucky one. I’m still here kicking after a few challenges. I’m feeling good while many aren’t and are suffering. I count my blessings each morning.
I think I’ll hit my lucky greasy spoon before going into the ward.
Random Thoughts of the Day
- The shorter my hair is the more I can feel the breeze through it.
- There is a logical explanation for almost everything. The issue is, a lot of us aren’t logical.
- I wish I got outside more today.
- I’m worried about one of my best friends who is sick.
- If they could make water taste like Coke, I’d be much happier.
