The last day of June. PoBoy just returned this past weekend from a trip to southern Illinois. The trip down was uneventful and we made good time, considering the storms.
There was a death in PoBoy's son's family on Tuesday of last week. We stayed in order to help clean up the area, doing odds and ends as needed. We did not stay for the funeral.
We were both very tired when we began our northern trip back to Michigan. PoBoy was glad to see signs saying Michigan so many miles. He was driving along when he felt an urgent urge to go to the bathroom. PoBoy was in the outermost lane. He glanced to the side and saw up ahead some blue signs which usually can mean a rest stop. As he got closer PoBoy could see that the signs were saying various gas stations and food exit. It wasn't what PoBoy wanted and he turned his attention back to the road.
Orange barrels were cutting off his progress, as the lane was merging into a construction zone. PoBoy had missed the merging signs. He began braking. PoBoy noticed two vehicles ahead just about to enter the single lane. PoBoy knew he couldn't pass them. More brake. PoBoy steered the car as close to the orange barrels as he could get without slamming on the breaks and possibly losing control. Then PoBoy glanced to right to see if there was an opening to get into the lane. It was just about that time that a tractor trailer rig was coming up to the narrowed entrance. PoBoy did his best to steer closer to the barrels but it was not quite enough.
The tractor went by but the trailer did not clear. It clipped what PoBoy calls Mickey Mouse mirror because of the way it bubbles out. It was indeed shocking. But PoBoy held the car in place. Not sure exactly what occurred because it all happened in a blink of an eye. PoBoy did however see the innards of the Mickey Mouse mirror hanging down.
An opening was present so PoBoy followed the truck driver around and up to a truck stop. The truck driver was quite hostile and belligerent and well he should have been. PoBoy's stupidty had almost cost him and his son's life.
PoBoy's son woke in the back seat. He didn't know quite what had happened.
PoBoy apologized to the truck driver but PoBoy thought he was in the mind set that he planned to sue him or something like that. Anyway the driver escorted PoBoy into the truck stop building and we had the lady behind the counter call the local sherrif. It took the sherrif about an hour to arrive and the young truck driver then explained his story (his side of what occurred). Then the officer came to PoBoy and who told him it was his fault and how PoBoy thought the truck driver did a superb job of defensive driving. The officer took my drivers license and Avis rental package and said he had to make some calls from the patrol car.
He came back and handed the young truck driver his driver's license back and then came to PoBoy. He asked where my insurance card was. PoBoy had totally forgot to insert the insurance card into the Avis package. He had only PLP. Then the officer politely informed PoBoy that he must carry that insurance card at all times and he said if he had pulled PoBoy for speeding he'd given him a ticket for not having the card as well as the speeding violation. Imagine driving almost a 1,000 miles without your insurance card. Dumb old PoBoy for sure.
There was not a scratch on the car except for the damaged inside of the mirror. We finished the drive home and PoBoy literally collasped on the bed.
Returned the car to Avis and filled out their incident report. So PoBoy figures sometime this week he will be receiving bad economical news. Well at least bad for PoBoy's tight budget. PoBoy also called the man who will be hauling his boat to Florida, and have tentatively arranged a cost value of 1,000 to 1500 dollars depending on cost of disel in November. Oh, he is also taking PoBoy to Florida. So PoBoy did at least accomplish something on his upcoming (uneventful PoBoy hopes) venture.
PoBoy is taking the day off today as an added rest day. His nerves are still in torment but PoBoy is okay otherwise. Thank God for that miracle.
The fourth of July is coming at the end of the week and PoBoy is definitely not going anywhere. It's safer to stay inside.
Count down continues. 108 days until retirement; 123 days until journey to Florida.

PoBoy wants to let you know that he, the puppies, and the kitties are doing good. It's been on the cool side here. Like this morning 50 degrees -- chillie.
PoBoy has had to make arrangements for a quick trip with his son. He'll tell you more when he returns. Looks like about a week before he will get back. Mainly, PoBoy is going to help with the driving. Son is okay too.
Will check in, if possible, from destination. Take care and keep the faith. See ya soon.

Well good morning. PoBoy has completed his task and is back from the conference. He left for Bay City on June 13th (Friday the 13th) but ran into no trouble whatsoever. So much for superstition. The conference appeared to go well and of course, PoBoy made some mistakes. He'll hear all about that today.
They'll be a lot of changes to make at the office as we have a new slate of officers. Name plates will have to be changed, new letter head will have to be ordered, roster changes all kinds of fun things to do.
It was also sad (the feeling PoBoy had) to know this was the last one. He was his grumpy self too. Not sure why PoBoy gets in those moods but it happens more frequently. Oh well! No more for your PoBoy.
PoBoy returned home Saturday in the afternoon. He was worn out. Funny how once in his lifetime he could just go and go and not even notice any effects. Now he feels everything. PoBoy spent the day catnapping as he calls it. So the remainder of the weekend was not much to speak about unless you're into "snoring." LOL LOL
It was good to see the puppies and kitties again. Those puppies were so happy to see the PoBoy. Of course they wanted to romp and play which PoBoy did for a few minutes before collasping in the bed for a catnap.
Sunday returned the rental car. He watched some television. Downloaded emails. Filed the emails. Basically just lounged around and catnapped too.
Sorry to report that although your PoBoy had his camera with him he did not take picture number one. One of the office ladies showed him how to work the camera again, but for some unknown reason he did not take a solitary picture. Bet he fishes like that too. There's something definitely something mis-wired in his brain.
PoBoy's son gave him a call to wish him a happy father's day. He thought that was nice. They talked for a few minutes. The boy is having his share of problems too. He didn't sound happy at all. However, PoBoy told his son they would go out for dinner a few times before he left for Florida.
Well that about concludes the factually based trip to the "Last Conference." Life goes on. Countdown continues. Days remaining until retirement: 123. Days remaining before the move to Florida: 137. PoBoy is a real short-timer now.

Little Sad but Getting Glad

How about that! It's Monday! What a weather weekend PoBoy endured. First was the heat, of course. Then came the storms, wind, rain, and even tornadoes. The storms tore off tree limbs and leaves everywhere. Better grab a few of those Adam and Eve. LOL LOL
Thank goodness in PoBoy's area did not get hit with a tornado, although there were a few touch downs reported throughout the county. And today forecast is more of the same. However, there seems to be relief on the immediate horizon with temps dropping back into the 70s.
Other then the weather it was quite boring. Oh! Please be careful of "tomatoes" as PoBoy just heard on the news that 16 states are now reporting somenella poisoning from tomatoes. Even though it is his favorite fruit/vegetable, he'll be cautious too.
Here's your daily countdown to Florida: 130 days until retirement; 144 days until move to Florida
You certainly won't believe this, but it's now Wednesday evening. The work week at the office is ended. Now comes the finale. Just 3 more days and PoBoy's final conference will be over. Tomorrow he's renting a subcompact to make the 100 mile drive up and another 100 miles back. Hope car gets good gas mileage.
PoBoy is a might sad tonight. He called Florida yesterday about a pickup he had seen for sale. Sounded like a sweet deal to him. However, PoBoy learned this evening, or maybe it was feeling, that tonight the owner suddenly had other buyers coming for a "look see." It's difficult to make such deals when you are 1300 miles away. So PoBoy will have to wait until he reaches Florida to make a good deal.
The whole USA is talking about these gas prices. PoBoy heard on news this morning that it costs the sheik about $2.00 a barrel to make the stuff, yet he is now charging $140.00 a barrel. Something is wrong here. That is highway robbery profit. PoBoy wonders what happened to all the oil wells in Iraq. Our boys paid dearly to help that country. He thinks maybe it is time for those folks to kick in a little help for good old USA.
Count down continues: 128 days until retirement; 142 days until move to Forida.
PoBoy is sad to report no pictures arrived to show trailer with tipout displayed. He was promised he would have pictures by end of week, but that was 3 weeks ago now.
Oh Well! Not all is lost as PoBoy sweetened the pot a little. He picked up a lead here in Michigan and is going to pick up an igloo cooler tomorrow. Want to see what it looks like http://www.calibex.com/igloo-cooler-on-wheels/zzcalibex2zB1z0--search-html It's the third one down with the wheels. How much you want to know? $15.00. That should keep the PoBoy well supplied with cold drink. Say do you think the fishies might like their worms chilled? Bet PoBoy catches even more fish using that technique. LOL LOL
And decided to get a second desktop PC with more speed. The one he's getting is a Pentium 4. It was built for film editing so should be on the fast side. This one is going to cost him 150.00 but PoBoy thinks it be worth it. Why? Cause he not sure exactly what type internet service he be able to get: probably dial up or satellite connection
PoBoy suppose to pick that up tomorrow too. He going to have a busy day for sure.
PoBoy will check back in Saturday night after the conference.

In Between Happy and Sad

Well look it here! It's Saturday! Almost noon. One week exactly and about a couple of hours, PoBoy be heading back from Bay City. No more conferences. Looks like he will have one more board meeting to do in late August. The one that follows that will be after his retirement date. So PoBoy has two more major functions with the Board of Directors then he's done.
Not to break the thought pattern but does anyone know what they call an emotion somewhere between happy and sad. Poboy was happy because he felt, those urges young men feel in youth, after 7 months of recuperating from heart attack. Then PoBoy watched a movie called "Eye of an Angel" with John Travolita. It was about a man in trouble with something like the Mafia, a little girl who was daughter to the man, and a Doberman Pincher. It was a sad movie with a happy ending. Now PoBoy is caught somewhere in between and has no idea what they call what he's feeling. Anyway he just thought someone might know. Strange.
Boy once again in high 80's. Yuck! Sticky. Well PoBoy get use to it. LOL LOL Yep this almost like year round weather in Florida. PoBoy be a big puddle for sure. LOL LOL
After PoBoy's doctor's appointment, he picked up his refills at a local pharmacy. One prescription was not ready so he told them he'd pick it up after work on Friday. Anyway PoBoy forgot Friday to pick up the meds, so he figured he would waste a little gas and pick it up Saturday. Away he went only to discover the pharmacy closed at 2pm and not open Sundays. So it will be Monday before PoBoy can get the missing bottle of meds. Oh you such an old fool PoBoy.
Next PoBoy thought he'd drop by the friendly dollar store and pick up some more Powerade (lady doctor told him to drink stuff with electrolytes) because it was something the heart needed. PoBoy gave up coffee after work and is now drinking Powerade.
PoBoy has to take a break and run down to local pharmacy. When he ordered meds they had them all but one. Told him be another day. So like a fool that PoBoy can be, especially this time of year, He walked out of office and drove home in a different direction. Silly PoBoy. Forgot the med. Now has to go and pick it up and use more gasoline.
So that med will now have to wait until Monday before he can take it, after work, that is. PoBoy will be off from work on Thursday. So he get's an extra day of rest. The office is closed from June 12 - 14. Conference time.
Friday morning he'll be up and headed for Bay City. He's suppose to be there by 10:00 a.m. He will be on the registration table. Registration will close at 2:30 p.m. on Friday with events to follow. One event he'd like to particpate in is a boat ride on the river. Last time he was there it was too cold for him to even attempt that. So keep your fingers crossed. Finally there will be an evening banquet but he will probably just head out for a MacDonald burger.
Saturday morning he'll get up and help prepare for the delegate meeting. The delegates will vote for the new board memembers and at noon, the new board will hold their first meeting of the year. Once that begins, PoBoy will load his vehicle with things that need to be taken back to the office. About a 2 hour drive back. Then its over for good for the PoBoy.
Ok. Have a fantastic weekend. Maybe PoBoy will find something to jaw about tomorrow. Take care.

Day of Good Blood Pressure
This is my blog address: http://retire42.blogspot.com/
This is my new website: http://poboy42.myweb.io/
This is my campground: http://www.sunshinervresort.net/

Today is PoBoy's big day. It's Heart Doctor day. Please keep your fingers crossed that PoBoy's blood pressure is closer to normal. Please. Please.
It's also going to warm up today. Suppose to reach a temp of 86. Some good news, the weatherman lowered the predicted 96 degrees on Monday to 93 degrees. But after that blast of heat, it appears we will be back in lower 80's to high 70's.
Nothing much to report except PoBoy managed to get five hours of sleep. Isn't that good. Didn't catnap just slept. He's looking forward to a warm shower and excited about finding out his bp results at the doctor's office. PoBoy knows they are going to be good this time. Remember, keep your fingers crossed.
When PoBoy gets home from work tonight he'll rush to the pc and post the results for you. Have a great day. PoBoy will have one too.
Guess who's home? Yes indeed, PoBoy is home for the evening. Now where did he put the evening. It's gone already. My gosh! PoBoy wishes his work day went that fast.
Okay PoBoy quit your stalling. Doctor's appointment went like this. Managed to get in just about on time, in to the back room where all the big shots are. Nurse weighed him, 199 pounds. She said he lost two pounds. Then she and a trainee take him to a room and close the door. Oh you naughty boy PoBoy. What? PoBoy didn't do a thing. They pull up pc and start going over his chart. Head nurse say "I let them sit while i go over their meds and chart, give them time to relax before taking vitals." PoBoy wonders where she going to take his vitals. She pretty attractive so he let her take them anywhere he figures.
Next comes the vitals. She throw the wrap around his arm, turn on switch and it squeezes him. Maybe we going steady and PoBoy just doesn't remember. Soon there's a whoosh and the band start releasing pressure. Oh boy! Here it comes. And because of you it come all the way down to 143/75. Wow! Finally. That one tolerable but they still want it lower. In crease dosage on another med. July 10 next visit. Temp is 98.2. He good so far. Why PoBoy even got to drop one med. That's two gone in two visits. Next visit PoBoy talk them into dropping another one. He a smooth talker. LOL LOL
Smooth until it come to ladies he like. He a real dunce then. Fool too. Gets all nervous, blushes, and just a bundle of nerves. Well still have time to grow out of that mess PoBoy.
Except for not taking his aspirin, he did good. Why don't you take aspirin PoBoy. He don't like no pills. Well, let me tell you, you gonna have to take that aspirin the rest of your life so get use to it. PoBoy nods his head, lets his chin sag a little, and agrees. "Yeah doc, just watch me," he thinks. No lady to keep tabs on PoBoy, so he know what he do. PoBoy knows when you have lady, they work with doctor and you sunk. You have to do what they say or you get clouted. LOL LOL
Okay PoBoy need to close his eyes for awhile. He exhausted. This conference is going to be the death of him. He is stuck doing it all, but he keeps going because, he knows this is the last time they gonna ever stick it to the PoBoy. Next year let them figure it out for themselves. Don't call me, I call you is his work attitude. Just 137 days to put up with the office folk. And 148 days before the move to Florida.
Oh! PoBoy going to hold an elaborate funeral on his retirement date (October 17). He gonna lay out the lamb. Nah, he not going to kill anyone, but he is going to bury his alarm clock. No more beep, beep, beep for him, as long as he healthy that is. Someday he go to hospital and he pray to keep hearing the beep, beep, beep of heart monitor. But for today, he is fine and clock is going to be buried in full ritual and ceremony. Good bye work force.
He better go to bed now. Morning come early. Beep! Beep! Beep! Enjoy yourself clock your days are numbered. Nite, nite.

She said he lost two pounds. Then she and a trainee take him to a room and close the door. Oh you naughty boy PoBoy. What? PoBoy didn't do a thing. They pull up pc and start going over his chart. Head nurse say "I let them sit while i go over their meds and chart, give them time to relax before taking vitals." PoBoy wonders where she going to take his vitals. She pretty attractive so he let her take them anywhere he figures.
Next comes the vitals. She throw the wrap around his arm, turn on switch and it squeezes him. Maybe we going steady and PoBoy just doesn't remember. Soon there's a whoosh and the band start releasing pressure. Oh boy! Here it comes. And because of you it come all the way down to 143/75. Wow! Finally. That one tolerable but they still want it lower. In crease dosage on another med. July 10 next visit. Temp is 98.2. He good so far. Why PoBoy even got to drop one med. That's two gone in two visits. Next visit PoBoy talk them into dropping another one. He a smooth talker. LOL LOL
Smooth until it come to ladies he like. He a real dunce then. Fool too. Gets all nervous, blushes, and just a bundle of nerves. Well still have time to grow out of that mess PoBoy.
Except for not taking his aspirin, he did good. Why don't you take aspirin PoBoy. He don't like no pills. Well, let me tell you, you gonna have to take that aspirin the rest of your life so get use to it. PoBoy nods his head, lets his chin sag a little, and agrees. "Yeah doc, just watch me," he thinks. No lady to keep tabs on PoBoy, so he know what he do. PoBoy knows when you have lady, they work with doctor and you sunk. You have to do what they say or you get clouted. LOL LOL
Okay PoBoy need to close his eyes for awhile. He exhausted. This conference is going to be the death of him. He is stuck doing it all, but he keeps going because, he knows this is the last time they gonna ever stick it to the PoBoy. Next year let them figure it out for themselves. Don't call me, I call you is his work attitude. Just 137 days to put up with the office folk. And 148 days before the move to Florida.
Oh! PoBoy going to hold an elaborate funeral on his retirement date (October 17). He gonna lay out the lamb. Nah, he not going to kill anyone, but he is going to bury his alarm clock. No more beep, beep, beep for him, as long as he healthy that is. Someday he go to hospital and he pray to keep hearing the beep, beep, beep of heart monitor. But for today, he is fine and clock is going to be buried in full ritual and ceremony. Good bye work force.
He better go to bed now. Morning come early. Beep! Beep! Beep! Enjoy yourself clock your days are numbered. Nite, nite.

Blood Pressure and Nurses -- up goes BP
This is my blog address: http://retire42.blogspot.com/
This is my new website: http://poboy42.myweb.io/
This is my campground: http://www.sunshinervresort.net/
Campground Amenities: http://www.sunshinervresort.net/Amenities.htm
PoBoy made it to the Office of Veteran's Affairs this morning. It was an interesting interview. He could have signed up this morning but after talking with Chuck, he decied it was best until he reached the land of Florida. But Chuck filled out his form with a few areas that PoBoy still needed to plug in like the Campground address, my son's address, etc. Then Chuck helped him pick out the closest area to where hewould need to go once in Florida. They chose Orlando. PoBoy applied both for Health benefits and dental. Dental PoBoy was not to sure about but Health benefits would be okay. They help with co-pays, and provide hospital services in VA hospital -- closet to PoBoy's Florida home is Orlando
Well have to retire for the evening. Next 10 days are rough ones for me, but then it will be over. Completely over. No more conferences.
Wow! PoBoy slow. Didn't get up on time to write a post. Don't recall if PoBoy told you but we have more then 200 people coming to the conference. Oh ages 3 months to 66 years old. Quite a wide range ages. And today is the fourth which means the conference will be over in 10 days. Just 10 little days and PoBoy will never have to work on preparing one again. It's good and sort of strange at the same time.
PoBoy wonders if you are reading these dribbles of information. He wonders if you have even gone to his website to check out his trailer. You have my email write and tell him if you don't want to post a comment. You Hoo! Anyone out there. LOL LOL
PoBoy knows how to get you. PoBoy says he'll post a nudity of himself. LOL LOL Sure couldn't do that you'd die for sure. Of laughter. LOL LOL
Well PoBoy is worried a little about tomorrow as he gets his blood pressure checked. PoBoy crosses his fingers in hopes it will finally be down but fears it will be up. Mostly pressure at the office. Anyway be sure to watch for the posted results tomorrow.
Tomorrow leaves only 148 days remaining in Michigan. That makes PoBoy giggle. He missed the weather in Florida today did anyone see if a hurricane was headed that way? PoBoy worries about that for sure. He wouldn't worry so much if he was there because he'd hold on to a palm tree and make sure no debris hit his place.
Well time for your PoBoy to catch a nap. Up and at 'em early tomorrow. PoBoy promises to post results of his new and improved readings tomorrow night.

String of high 80's Coming with T-Storms

Veteran's Day for the PoBoy. In a couple of hours PoBoy will be sitting in the Veterans Office signing up for benefits. He has already informed them that he plans on moving to Florida and he wanted to be sure the records would be transfered to Florida area. One day, PoBoy will need these added resources.
Yesterday, PoBoy spent the whole day at the office getting material together and corrected for delegate packets. The delegate committee will elect the new Board of Directors at the conference. Next, he posted some more registrants to the roster bringing the total expected to 174 people. So your PoBoy's fingers fell off yesterday. LOL LOL
From now until the beginning of the conference on June 12, 2008 things will be booming. Pressures will be on. Hold it together PoBoy.
PoBoy learned that no one died in the house fire that began about 3 a.m. yesterday. The house burnt totally to the ground. Certainly, that was a morning to remember. PoBoy never saw so many fire trucks in one area before. Pretty weird to say the least.
Puppies too were scared with all the activities but they are now settled down again. They've eaten their chicken an drank their water and pottied. Oh! He gave them their snacko's too -- beef jerky strips for doggies. The kitties are doing fine. We are still celebrating the Tom kitty, who somehow ended up being caught inside a closet for two days, return. He seems no worse for wear, but PoBoy aged a few more years.
Well PoBoy needs to find his material for upcoming meeting this morning. So this post is a little short. Maybe this evening he'll have a few moments to report the days activities. Oh! Almost forgot, PoBoy purchased a Rival Blue Stoneware Crockpot as another non-heat emitting appliance for the trailer. Now he has a used George Foreman Delux Grill and a Crockpot. He's beginning to see things take shape again. Later!

Beginnings of One More Work Week
This is my blog address: http://retire42.blogspot.com/
This is my new website: http://poboy42.myweb.io/
This is my campground: http://www.sunshinervresort.net/
Campground Amenities: http://www.sunshinervresort.net/Amenities.htm
It's Sunday evening. PoBoy has been "under the weather" this weekend. Seems like a "cold" is trying to take root in my system. One thing PoBoy should mention is if you suffer a heart attack it seems like it takes forever to build up your immune system again, especially here in Michigan.
So PoBoy had a not so hot weekend for sure. Sometimes he wonders if he will ever get a normal immune system. Maybe he will never be right again. Then again maybe Florida sun will help him out. Not the heat, just the sun.
It's a tough night. PoBoy has tried to sleep several times but between the doggies and my restlessness he seems to be fighting a losing battle. Anyway he will try again around 11:00 to sleep. Maybe it will get cooler by then.
Puppies are doing fine. They are such great companions. PoBoy will be sad to leave them. He hopes they will understand why he had to do what he had to do. Blubbery PoBoy again. He must be suffering an emotional event again.
Well at this time tomorrow PoBoy will be readying himself for the visit to Veterans Affair so perhaps Tuesday night he will have more to tell you. Keep your fingers crossed, Okay?
Likewise the kitties are all doing great. They are eating me out of house and home like the puppies. PoBoy enjoys watching them eat. They are so fragile like a good heart.
PoBoy added a couple of links above. They are direct links to his campground. There's the main link from which you can explore the campground like he did before visiting the place. The second link talks about "amentities" that he will have at his disposal. Quite a list and more. At the bottom of that page you'll also see a link to a map of the campground. If you look close you will see Lot #292 on Pine Ridge Circle. That's PoBoy's lot. Yes for sure it is. He's been making payments on that lot since December 2007.
If by chance we should get separated when PoBoy moves you can mail him at the campground. You have his lot number and the road he lives on. The rest of address is on the main page.
PoBoy will try to lie down again. The monitor is burning his eyes tonight. PoBoy just loves to catch a cold. LOL LOL
Welcome to Monday, June 02, 2008PoBoy is up and moving. Doggies got pottied earlier. It was a scary time for them. Something happened outside with screaming police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, para-medics. Not sure what it was all about but there were 5 emergency vehicles parked on the street PoBoy lives on. He's sure he'll pick up some information when he goes to buy 3 gallons of gas at 4.14 a gallon. He'll need to spend 12.42 cents for that. Thank goodness for the four cylinder truck he drives. It should last him until about Thursday.
PoBoy is going to rent a car to go to the conference. He's renting it from Avis for about 54.00 plus tax and gas. Yuck! On the gas prices. Boo! Boo!
Well PoBoy better get up and feed the puppies now. Chicken. Yeah! Yeah! They love it. They each get a drum stick without the bone of course. Supper they each get a pork chop. That didn't take long did it? Each of the puppies are eating their breakfast. I see they need their water bowl filled. Okay that is finished now. Boy! I'm a speedy one.
Next on the morning agenda is the kitties. Okay. Time for them now. Gee! They didn't eat all their night time food. Okay throw away the old can food and get them some fresh. Okay they have fresh can food. PoBoy thinks he'll leave the dry and see if they will finish it off by the time he gets home. Change it tonight.
Okay now its time for PoBoy. He's not much of a breakfast hound unless there is a platter of biscuits and gravy looking at him. Those biscuits don't stand a chance. Oh No! No biscuits and gravy this morning. No breakfast for PoBoy.
That gives me an extra few minutes to post this brief event. You take it easy and have a great day. God Bless you.

Change in Sleeping Habits
This is my blog address:
http://retire42.blogspot.com/
This is my new website:
http://poboy42.myweb.io/
It's Saturday and it's also the last day of May. Tomorrow morning, June 1, 2008 PoBoy would have completed ten years in the office "without missing a day." He has no idea why this turned out to be an important goal for him but it did. To come so close, and suffer a defeat is devastating.
PoBoy is not his usual self today. First he didn't sleep well last night, and today he has the strangest feeling. He feels like he's on "drugs." So most of Saturday he has slept and he hopes to sleep more this evening.
PoBoy was hoping that a PC tech would drop by today. He had talked to him recently about the desk top pc. PoBoy would like to beef up the capacity of his desktop. PoBoy also asked about having pc set up, for communication purposes, with all three methods: dialup, satellite, and cable. Not sure if it can be done but it would be nice to have available. That way no matter what the campground area offers for connectivity he can just plug right in. Oh! Of course he has to pay first. LOL LOL
It's early Sunday morning, very early about 3:00 a.m. PoBoy has developed a new problem. It's called sleeping. No longer can he sleep a straight eight. He wakes up at the weirdest times. Guess the old body is changing. For the better he hopes. Maybe it has something to do with stress. The office is sure stressful at this time of year. The room he rents is just that a room but the landlord has a bunch of teens visiting throughout the summer. More stress for sure. The trailer situation is also stressful. Trying to get things accomplished when your 1300 miles from the place has to be stressful. Hurricane season begins today. Ah! More stress. And there is the nagging problem of trying to make arrangements to move South. Not to mention the inflation throughout the country. Stress.
Gosh! No wonder PoBoy's sleeping habits are changing. Is there anything like peace and quiet left in the world. PoBoy sure could use a double dose of that.
6:33 As you can see PoBoy catnapped again. Anyway he's up again and had pottied his puppies and fed them and watered them too. Next is the kitties when they begin stirring. Let's see. He's feeling a little better now. Vicks opened up his sinus passages. He wishes he could eat better but he knows he must sacrifice to have enough dollars to complete his move to Florida.
Besides the office being busy this week, PoBoy has a couple of personal items to inquire about. Tuesday morning, he will visit the Veteran's Administration Building and hopefully to get signed up for benefits offered. PoBoy served in the U.S. Navy on active duty from June 1960 until June 1964. He was honorably discharged. PoBoy has been reading and it seems that only the active duty times count for benefits. He also served two years inactive duty time from June 1964 until June 1966. PoBoy wonders if they will count the two weeks he spent on active duty for each of those years.
PoBoy also did three years with the Florida National Guard. There too, like inactive duty in the Navy, he did two weeks a year on active duty.
Well PoBoy will hope for the best. He is sure that in the not too distant future he will need the extras. The fate of the old is to make doctor's and hospital's richer.
PoBoy, when his time comes, will, in away, miss this old world. He has no claim to glory. No war stories to tell. Actually he has done nothing to increase the value of the world, nor has he done anything to detract from its beauty. Maybe his puppies and kitties will count for something special in the end. His one laurel for the world.
Gee! PoBoy is getting morbid this morning. He calls it reality checking. But hey! It's June 01, 2008. One half year will be gone at the end of this month. And he has friends in all who read his blog and website. May God Bless all of you always.
