Something About Nothing............ #14

The verdict - surgery is not needed. The doctor is referring him to a pain specialist for nerve blockers and then for physical therapy. He has been cleared to go to Universal in January. She told him to use his best judgment on rides.

Waiting for B to get home from work so we can figure out what to do for dinner. Dh has theater rehearsal tonight.

Walked out of the house, and went crap. Hope I still have that ice scraper in my car. Yep, and ugh, ice scraper I was. Then kept the defroster on most of the commute. Was 33 degrees.

No ice for us yet, but I am sure it is coming soon. We are supposed to have highs in the low 40's for our last home football game at the end of the month.

Time for a reboot, as every time I said close the program it gave me that beautiful swirling blue circle. And it’s still restarting. Eh, probably the download of updates was going on in the background and crashed my mail. Glad it’s not my laptop,

It seems you have been having issues with that laptop for a long time. I know you won't be sad to give it up.

I just tried to renew my AP online and got an error message. I don't know why I have so much trouble with Universal ordering online. Looks like I'm calling them again tomorrow.

We decided on pizza for dinner. B can pick it up on her way home from work since she has to drive by the place anyway. I just don't feel like going out again.

That’s actually good news, Charade, that no surgery needed. I hope the therapy and pain killers will help with the pain issues he’s had. Glad also to hear he can go to the parks without medical restrictions.

Yeah, we never get nice work laptops, Charade, so issues with connectivity happen every so often, so I think it was trying to download updates, as when I rebooted, it said updates failed. Just had it say updates downloading now as I booted up for the day.

Ugh, as I got out the entrance yesterday late afternoon, my car’s low tire pressure flashed on. I was like, hmm, I don’t feel like a have a flat. When I got home, I asked the kids to look at my tires. They thought the one front looked a little low. They took it to put air in each tire, as my car is too old to say which one gave that low warning. They said all four were at the right psi. When I turned it on this morning, it still gave me that warning. I told the kids, if I get out of the office this afternoon, and I have a flat tire, I’m going to be annoyed. Hoping it was just the change in coldness the night before, and not a nail or other. Going to call my auto shop I use, and see if they can look at all my tires to see why that warning went off. In most cars, you can turn that warning off. My car, nope, mechanic had to do it. Worth it to me to have that shop take a look to ensure there is nothing poking into one of my tires.

But a pep in my step, as it’s the last Friday of week day routine. I’m trying to clear out each day. Office is looking bare with all the pictures down, and most of my little fun things are packed up. Also tossed a lot of papers I don’t need, nor not ones that have to be saved. The rest, gave to my colleagues. Getting real.

Brought in two kinds of salad, as it’s that holiday pot luck turkey luncheon in my office. My head boss, always brings in a huge turkey. The rest of us bring in the sides, drinks, and desserts. Most of the time, it’s way too much food. But with 2 large refrigerators in our break room, any leftover will be packed up, and saved for Monday, or up for grabs to take home.

Still dark out, so no sunrise to show you yet. Sunrise is a half hour from now. Yep, shorter days until that winter equinox, where our shortest day will be. Then, minutes longer every day after. I feel like this year has flown by. To say next week is our Thanksgiving Day, is almost crazy. But lots to took forward to, as my favorite time of year to enjoy the decor and pine, cookies and peppermint smells that come with this wintertime’s holidays.

So a good morning from this predawn homie, and hope all have that Fabulous Friday feeling today.
