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.
