Whiskey Wednesday

 Hump Day!

Looks like it is going to be a full sleepless night for me this evening/morning. I took my last edible last night, and did not go out to get more today, so no help from that end. I also stayed home and did not go out drinking, so no help from the alcohol to put me to sleep. I tried to rest and relax the body and mind in bed for about an hour, before I gave up. Then it was onto the computer to watch FB reels. Thought about watching some TV shows, or a movie, but just didn't feel like it. I tried reading for a bit - no luck.

The Wife has today off from work evidently. I know she had a PCP visit scheduled for this afternoon, but I guess her boss said she could just take the whole day if she wanted, as she is not training a student currently, and I guess Wednesdays are their "slowest" days. No idea what that means, But the Wife made sure I knew about it before I tried going to bed. I think mainly so I don't wake her at 8am (like I usually do, to make sure she is up and moving).

I think once the Wife has left for her Dr appointment, I shall head up to the pub for some reading and some drinks. Started a new series by J A Jance, about a detective in Seattle. So it is a crime/police story, but the first book was pretty good. Moving onto the next 20 in this series, followed by about another 30+ in three other series this author has, and some books are linking the series together.

Taxes were completed yesterday morning. I admit, it took me longer than I thought it would, but not too much. This is the last time we will be able to claim the Youngest on the Federal. We are getting refunds from Fed and State, so I am not complaining at all. It was much more than I expected as well. The Wife texted from work this afternoon asking if she needed to sign anything to get them submitted, and I told her they were already done, and doing it electronically, we don't have to physically sign the forms. She was happy about that, plus the amount we are getting back.

Youngest is still looking for work, though not very hard from appearances. I know I have seen him searching and doing applications online several times, but supposedly has not gotten any calls for interviews or able to track a contact for a follow up to his apps. Might be time to tell him to get out there and hit up stores that don't have an online presence or are national, etc. 

Welp, I guess that's about all I want to say today....

Let's Raid and Plunder!

 Another mid-week has arrived. I am still waiting to hear of any open projects to come along from the Company. It has been several weeks since my last one, and I do not see any hope in the near future, but maybe I will be surprised. I know I am starting to get that 'stir crazy' feeling of being at home and unproductive (employment-wise).

With it being Wednesday, that means it is Raid Night. In Warcraft, the Guild that my Sons (all three) and I are in (called Soldiers of Death) have Raid around 4:30pm my time. I don't always go, as sometimes I tend to go to the pub instead. But the Sons are all on the regular raid team. They'll go at it for about three hours tonight. Sometimes I go along for the first few bosses, but the progression they are working on (goes towards an achievement) is complicated, and I am no where near the level of gear and able to inflict the damage I need to, to play at that level. They "carry" me through the bosses so I have a chance for some gear (and get closer to their level).

The Oldest Son and I spoke (well, texted) the other day. He had mentioned in a conversation awhile back about he and I going out. I followed up on it, and he would like to do it tomorrow. I'm not sure where we might end up, but it will be nice to have some one on one time. He has been quite busy with work, and is still putting in quite a bit of over-time hours, even having moved to a night position. Middle Son came over Monday, to do his laundry, which is fine. We hung out for a bit and talked. He offered to take me out to breakfast, but I wasn't hungry, so we didn't go. He, also, is kept busy with his night-time position at work. Youngest Son is probably just enjoying no school for now. He will have two weeks of Band Camp coming up here shortly.

The Wife has been quite busy with work. Lately she will have to put in 2-3 hours after her normal hours just to stay kept up with paperwork. Seems at her facility, she is the only PT (there whould be at least 2) so she has to do all the evaluations, treatments plans, etc. She does have 2 PTAs that can help administer the treatments, but not prescribe them. Evidently, the Facility has been trying to hire a second PT for many, many months but has not been successful. I think it was last week the Wife mentioned they finally hired someone, but it waas going to be 30 days until they start - if they don't back out of it. So, waiting game on that. Then last night she tells me, they have up to around 20-something patients with Covid, and 5-10 employees as well. I don't know when it gets bad enough to start the Covid wing again, but it must be getting close. They are getting tested twice a week for Covid. At least it is at work, and free.

I guess that is all I have today. Sorry no humor or political views (thank goodness). On a good note, my glucose count today was 120 (one of the best ones yet) and BP was 157/89 (about fair for me at this time).
