• Maybe Headed in the Right Direction

    Well, my late night ER visit was a waste of time, except I found out I didn’t have strep, the flu, or covid. The doctor was no help. I explained my symptoms and how I was concerned about my immunocompromised wife. He said well, there are hundreds of viruses, it could be. When he came…

  • Ironing Out the Details

    I was up late last night again even though I left early to get to bed sooner! I woke with a sore throat. This is common for me, sometimes I even get a sore throat after a sneezing fit. This one was more rough than usual, though. So, I walked to a Walgreens nearby to…

  • A “Fun” Night and a Busy Day

    I am tired lately and haven’t even started going back and forth working out of San Antonio yet. I don’t have any time to rest. When I’m at the apartment in the afternoon, I’m working on getting things all situated, and the same goes for the nights when I get there. I have a shelving…

  • Processing

    I was up late last night, I worked on a stand up bathroom shelf organizer with drawers till about 1:30 in the morning. It was Ikea still put together job. The instructions weren’t even in different languages; there were just pictures. That was about two hours of my life I’ll never get back. I will…

  • Another Big Hit

    I had yesterday’s post mostly written and then lost it. The perils of using my MacBook to write and then using my iPhone to take notes on the same document. I started retyping last night but gave up. Not much happened anyway, Tank did have a meet and greet with the dog sitter. She is…

  • The Hospital Waiting Game

    I was up early this morning, too early. Plus with the time change, I’m not sure I got four hours of sleep. Tank and I went for a stroll this morning down the side road next to our apartment. There aren’t any sidewalks but a large swath of grass, and I don’t think we even…

  • From One End of Texas to the Other and Back

    Friday night I slept well in Alpine, I usually catch up on sleep there. Even having a car up there, I don’t go and do much, I just sleep. That’s precisely what I did this trip. I called to check on Amanda when I was up. She was doing good and not much was going…

  • Transfer Pending

    As I left to head home, surprisingly, I remembered everything I needed for work. I was worried it’d leave my grip, what railroaders call their luggage, but I remembered it. I forgot my work jeans, though, but I’m thankful I had a pair at home. They were waiting to go to the cleaners, so I…

  • Abandoning Amanda

    I can’t hit the transit just right, I waited a bit for the train last night. I should just quit being lazy and walk the 10 minutes to the transit center. Waiting on a train is the story of my life anyway, why add more of it now!  When I returned to the apartment, I…

  • Hospital/Apartment Days

    As I left the hospital last night, I’d planned to catch the train to the transit center. I heard it pull up when I was about halfway to the stop. If it weren’t for the cables in the middle of the road, I could have just hopped on the platform and made it. The following…
