  • Getting Closer to Busting Out

    Friday night, Amadna never got her evening dose of Bumex. The night nurse finally heard back from the doctors, but when she came in, Amanda was asleep and didn’t give it. In the grand scheme of things, it didn’t matter; by Saturday morning’s weight check, she had lost 3 pounds. It seemed we really were…

  • 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…
