Good evening everyone. I am sorry if I sometimes appear to ramble, I do struggle with my emotions sometimes. I still think of you all every day. Today was a double whammy, I was a wreck from the hellish work week. I was in a lot of pain from not having enough recovery following a 16hr shift Wednesday. Now, today I was a mess. I had to work but they were kind and I left at noon. The kicker was that the cold came back at 28 degrees and sleet and rain. This is the weather that makes my body scream. Deep breaths once again.

Tomorrow I will have all 4 of my siblings, their children, and my mom over for dinner. We keep it lower stress by doing a pot luck. I will grill come snow or sleet! We are long overdue to be together. One of the many things my late grandmother taught me it's that no matter how small your house is, there is room to keep a family together.

It is cold and wet today but no accumulating snow! It was briefly warm but it is supposed to be warmer next week. If we are in the 50's that is warm to us, at least as of late.

My long standing attempt to help my wife understand my pain is slowly working out. I do understand that pain is relative to the recipient, and that it can't be seen other than in expressions. She has 2 years of school left starting in August. If all goes well I someday have options. By that I mean that I may not have to do brutal factory work and settle into a less physical job. Until then I press on.

Mimi, the big lake can be a huge factor in the weather, it changes the patterns when they hit the water. 5 miles from town the temp can be 25 degrees different. In the summer it's cooler by the lake and in winter it's warmer. All affected by the water temp that maintains about 56-8 degrees all year if I recall. I wish only the best for your family.

Debbie, as stated, we had a taste of the warm air, it will come back in a few days. Your niece is at the fulcrum. I am now 38, and although still young, for me I thought a lot more of time and age after 30. It's not that I am old, just matured enough to not feel like a kid anymore.

Mary, paintings can make a room. They completely set the whole mood for it. I am blessed to have many of my grandmothers artwork in almost every room of the house.

That is all for this eve, take care everyone.

Good evening everyone. I had a very long day yesterday, but I made it. I was about to leave work after an 11hr day. As I was literally on my way out, we had a serious fire. I started at 5:30 am and most of us mechanics were there for 16 hours. It was not easy to keep going. Most of us did not have break for 6hrs. I knew if I sat down that would be it.

The good part was that none of us probably had to stay that long but we all value protecting our facility. The fire department took care of it until it was manageable then we finished, did a small repair, and had to un-flood half of the plant. We were able to protect the people and equipment involved.

I went home at 9:45, and showered, went to bed, and got up at 5:20 for todays work. I was very slow today and beat up, but so was everyone else. The bosses all knew that and respected the fact. I am still a mess and hoped to get Friday of since I worked a double yesterday, allowing me to hit 40hrs today, but they want me to come in. I hope to leave at noon.

I am having a rough time today, probably the body's way of telling me I did too much. I get sore and tired, then depressed. At least tomorrow is the end for a few days and I can heal up.

On a good note, we never saw a single flake of snow here, no frost this morning. The birds were singing so I knew we were alright.

My mother is home. I was waiting all day to get a call on her condition. It was too late to call her last night so I haven't yet. She left a message saying it was a medication problem that put her in ICU for 2 days. I think my brother may be right, that she has a terminal illness she will not tell us about, hence the morphine pump. I have never heard of anyone having one for fibro before. I was very worried we would lose her in her frail state.

This eve I am sitting on my couch taking deep breaths, reminding myself that I have a good life. Even if the day brings great challenges, they are all worth it. Take care everyone.

Good evening everyone. I have been very busy enjoying the weather. We went from highs of about 40 to a peak of 70 in three days. That was yesterday. Today we have clouds but it was still a wonderful day to be out at about 60. Almost all of the snow in town is gone. It's hard to believe it. We have seen snow as late as June, but it never sticks. I think our spring finally made it.

I have been busy picking agates from the lake shore in the area. They can be tricky to find as many residents and most tourists hunt for them. I probably have more than I need. I will be picking up a rock tumbler soon so I can polish them up. It has been a good relaxing hobby and gets all 4 of us outdoors more.

My body is in poor shape today. I suppose from the muggy air. It is damp and heavy today. I still managed a short walk to the beach this morning. My back is still my nemesis. It continues to hurt but not bad enough to stop me from doing things. It's just very uncomfortable. I have to sleep flat on my back. At least I can still function. It's a good thing I have a massage scheduled for next week. It's just a couple weeks late.

The spirit is better. I do struggle with some depression. The fact that I can get outside is a huge plus.

My mother called me today. She has severe fibro. She is on a morphine pump and has had several surgeries to correct problems associated with her body not healing and infections. Now she has a severe sinus infection. She has smoked like a chimney since 16 and just will not quit. Her husband is also in poor health from smoking. She is small and should be about 115 lbs. She has wasted away to just 80 right now. We do not go to her house because the smell is so bad you have to some home, shower and change clothes. She knows this, but only leaves the house for Dr. appointments. The saddest part of it all is that the has never fought to save herself. She is only 57.

Life goes on here at my little house. We are all pretty healthy and doing well. I wish the same for you all. Take care everyone.
