OK, I'm sitting at work bored right now because its one of those slow Friday's. It doesn't happen very often but we do get them. I'm looking out the window and all I can see is clouds and the rain starting to come down. I like it when it rains out here in Cali because we get so little of it. The problem is I would like it if it rains on my days off. I'm working today, its not a day off! Tomorrow and the rest of the weekend through next week are supposed to be like normal with no rain at all. It's getting a little more than ridiculous out here with the lack of rain. I guess Ill just have to make do with what is given and continue to go day by day. Be happy and thankful for what we do have and do receive.
I like my job as well. The one I had previously to this just wasn't doing my body any good. The manual labor was tearing up my back, knees, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Since I have been at the new job the parts still ache once in a while but nothing like before. I used to come home after work, shower and go to bed. When I woke though I could barely move. It took me a good 15 minutes to a half hour to start functioning fully again. Now not so much; I can get out of bed without any problems and continue on with my day. My parts are still broke i.e. I have a torn ligament in my elbow, my meniscus is torn and frayed with the bones rubbing against each other and my spine has shrunk between some of the disks, therefore causing the pain. The doc said it can't be fixed because its not bad enough to warrant surgery and not mild enough for pain killers....or something to that effect. Either way I know I have pain and its not going to go away anytime soon.
Today after work I am driving to Phoenix to spend time with my family. My brother is in the states visiting from Japan with his kids and the whole family is getting together. Now me, I like to drive but normally do at night. But this time I'm going after work to maximize my time there. I used to, back in the day, drive long hours without any problems at all. I would drive from Ft. Worth, TX to Phx in one sitting, stopping only for gas. That was usually a 17.5 to 18 hour drive. Of course over half of it was in TX itself. Now a days though I can and do still drive long distances, I just have to stop for breaks sometimes if its anything over 10 hours straight. I think driving at night relaxes me and allows me to enjoy the drive as well and if I have any passengers, they can sleep. At the same time I like it when its just me and the open road, very few, if any other cars on the road. Plus I'm not looking at all that scenery go by wondering if it will ever end or going from mountains to desert to trees. I like the darkness and just following the road until my destination arrives.
I have been doing this blog for about 2 weeks now and I like getting the information out to people. What would be cool though is if I could get some feedback. Like what do you like and what don't you like to see? What are some things you want me to add or include in my daily postings? I would like to increase my readership as well and maybe get some subscribers to it. That would be nice. However I know there are like a million billion blogs out now so I will take what I can get. If that means getting the information out to a few people each day then that is what I will do. It won't offend me at all if people just pass me by. I'll keep on though presenting the information and hopefully someday I will get suggestions on what people really want to see and read about on a daily basis. I think that would be nice. Most blogs that I know of are centered on one thing or another. That is why I try to present all kinds of information, that way it can reach more readers. What do you all think? Any suggestions? Leave a comment if so. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Friday/weekend. Enjoy!
