dang today really turned into a tough one, shouldn't have been, should have been a "see spot run" day but that was not to be......
still have asleep i rolled over in bed, and ended up with a mouth full of hair. discovering one of my crazy cats curled up on the pillow right next to my head......
well i was really tied up this morning from the arthritis, i haven't been that still and sore with it for along time........and today turned into one of those highly demanding physical days........didn't need to be ....if everything had been in synch and i would have caught a couple of breaks......i really won't have had to catch a break come to think of it....i just needed things to happen in the order they should have.......anyways after i spent 3 hours doing a 1 hour job because the day didn't fall right that threw the entire rest of the day off and i had to just muddle through......
had a great rehearsal tonight but now i'm very tired, very sore and mind is in a whirl and i doubt i'll get the sleep i need to recover.......

it's late and i should have been in bed awhile ago but i'm too keyed up tonight, also my arthritis is flaring tonight and i probably will have a problem getting comfortable.......i had hoped to take a half day vac as i need to get my oil changed ( trollie looks back and realizes what he meant to say was get the oil changed in his car)........and starting the day looked like i should have no problem doing so......(silly trollie)......well the upstart was is it didn't work out quite the way i had planned.......load tomorrow so that won't work.......hopefully wednesday.....

i slept very poorly last night, work up about 3:30 overheating and realized that i had forgotten to turn the heat down and then just slept fitfully the rest of the night, needed to get up at 6 as i needed to stop into work before church........was a very long day......special service tonight that last 2 hours+ and the worship team was involved the entire night......a good day.......but a very long, busy day and i'm pretty well all in.......
had a steak and a salad for dinner and then cooked corn beef and cabbage this afternoon which i had for a late supper about 9 PM...........never got home until almost 9 and left for service about 5 for mike checks and the like.........and really don't like eating much of anything before i sing.......
i'm hoping to be able to maybe take a couple of vacation days this week.....i'm pretty well worn out and just need to get away for a couple of days.......

well i was absolutely shocked, despite the fall i awoke this morning feeling pretty good, back as just a bit sore, but that is not that unusual for me......went out to get some backrub and some milk.....came home with that + a bunch of other stuff.....a couple of stores had corn beef on sale and i ended up with 3 of them that now reside in my freezer, as well as some beef cut for beef tips......And some stuffed grape leaves......And well the list just keeps going on and on........

well i expected two loads today, which i got but unfortunately they both came within about 5 minutes of each other, well they both needed to go to the other warehouse and i'm rushing around trying to get everything arranged went out the back door, not paying attention to what i was doing, lost my footing on the ice and landed flat on my back........fortunately i had on several layers of shirts and a heavy peacoat which absorbed some of the blow, and didn't hit either my elbows or my head but it did knock the wind out of me......well i got through the day afterwards...and don't feel to bad tonight, but i'm sure to be stiff and sore tomorrow........but i have the day off so........
had intended to go out to dinner tonight, but after today's adventures the thing i most desired was a long hot bath.......so got take out seafood........which both i and my cat aggie enjoyed greatly.....i've had my bath....and i'm having a nice cup of rose hip tea........i'm really not a big fan of flavored, scented, or herbal teas in general but i do enjoy both rose hip tea, and earl grey......

blogger has been real unstable the last few days, i tried to post earlier and it didn't take.....ah well
crazy day but then most are

today turned into a relatively easy day, that's the good news, the bad news is that two of the loads that were suppose to shipped today got kicked into tomorrow, which gives me 3 tomorrow and 2 friday..........which should make both days.......well interesting........
made a batch of pea soup tonight, was well not entirely pleased with the last batch......it was good but ....well just a little flat......so i switched from green to yellow split peas.......instead of ham used smoked ham hocks....doubled the bouillon.....doubled the onion.....tripled the pepper and tripled the garlic........okay so maybe most people would not use any garlic in pea soup but i've been tempted to put garlic in a hot fudge sunday........oh and a couple of bay leaves......well any how the resulting soup is top drawer......the only thing i think i'd do different is cook everything but the peas for about an hour before adding the peas........i think it would help to richen the stock a bit more and would soften the hocks a bit more then they are now.......althought they're fine, they could stand to be a tad more tender.......
feel decent tonight except the arthritis.........but then i could say that 7 out of 10 nights......

this morning was hectic at work, i had the last of month end to take care of, and needed to get my resin schedule for april worked out and in the system, this time of year is a little unpredictable production wise so it took me a lot longer then usual......plus i had been kind of brain dead yesterday and forgot to write my monday use memo.......it's a new thing i've been doing and i had to rush around and get that finished.....all on a day when physical i felt off, the weather has been very unstable and that always fires my arthritis, and i've had a couple of very difficult days right in a row, very stiff and sore......truth is i never am with out a background level of pain from my joints but i've gotten very good at "shutting it out".......but days like the last couple it is not possible to do that and it can be very distracting........
had a light supper, just soup and sandwich.......i got a late jump on it because i had some chores i needed to do and with rehearsal tonight i never eat too heavy.......rehearsal went great.....i love to sing.......i've been singing in groups and solo and playing instruments for about 52 of my 57 years.....it is the thing in life that gives me the most joy.........
made a BLT for a late snack and a bit of danish blue cheese.........in many ways i feel great tonight but am still a bit uncomfortable.......ah well warm weather is a coming
