Was It the Food?

 I became rather ill yesterday. I woke feeling fine, and had lunch around noon. IT was shortly after I started having some stomache pain, then joint and muscle aches, followed with hot/cold flashes. I managed to stay awake until around 4pm, then finally had to lay down. I ended up sleeping through about 7:30 that evening when the Wife got home. I menitoned I wasn't feeling good, and of course, she said she was making her turkey enchiladas that night. I did manage a small portion, about half an enchilada, then was in bed again. With all that sleep, I find myself awake now at 3:30am. Still feeling achey, still feeling sick to the stomach. I don't know what it is but it is laying me out for a couple days.

Not much else to write about. I started the Warcraft expansion yesterday, and got a good ways before I felt too tired/sick to play.

A Day of Readjusting

 Yesterday was a somewhat nice day. Was able to watch my Washington Team beat Atlanta in football. Continued on into the afternono watching some other games - none that I really cared about. For me it was more hanging out with a friend than anything else at that point. The later afternoon got weird as I the Wife texted me to check my brother's social media. Which I did, then texted him. He is having some family drama (Again). After a call from him letting me know what was going on (not that it really matters to me) I mentioned to him that he just cannot stop creating drama that no one wants to be a apart of. He just laughed at me. It truly is somewhat embarrassing at times, because he and his wife tend to publically announce all the crap. Sigh. As RM would say ... not my monkeys, not my circus. I did text RM and reminded her that I am the Good Son, and th Favorite. She basically just laughed.

Today I am trying to get some things readjusted. In regards to work, the past few projects that I ahve been asked to join have had a requirement that I be licensed in a state, and have passed the bar (attorney). Of course, I have not, and I should not be getting these type of project requests. I'll be sending out an email to make sure they are aware of this, and get their system updated/corrected so I am able to get projects I am able to work on. I know I am bored enough as it is.

Not much on my calendar for the rest of the day. The new Warcraft expansion is to release today at 3pm, and I am not very excited about it. Whenever a new expac comes out, there are more people pnline, doing all the "starting new quests, etc" that it is hard to compete with everyone. I usually wait a few days before starting the new material. I don't know if I will get that opportunity this time around though. The threee Sons and I belong to a particular Guild, and of course our Guild goal is to get through the new stuff, start doing the Raids. Previously I was not part of the Raid team, but have committed myself to doing it this time around. It will help keep me from going to the bar at least two nights of the week, plus spending some time with the Sons, even if it is online playing together.

I do need to make another trip to Walgreens. I have gotten a text the last couple of days that I have another prescription to pick up. I'll probably do that this afternoon so I don't have to try to fight online with hundredds of others to get the new stuff started.

Friday am I am Jobless

 Well, Wednesday was a night. My buddy J and I had gone out, and both drank way more than we should have. J was melancholic all night. His Mom had passed away on that date three years prior, and he still wasn't quite over it. I get that way on my Dad's bday some years...but that was 35 years ago, so it has had more time to settle in my life. Either way, it made things hard in regards to waking up on Thursday morning. I finally got up, and logged in for work, only to find out that the project had finished up that morning prior to me getting online. Oooooo K. I also had an email, stating it had ended and would be notified about the next project. So, as of right now, nothing new. I am sure through the weekend, or maybe by early Monday I will have a new project starting. They seem to get going about that fast.

That means I will be playing Warcraft probably most of the day. The middle Son came by early today, and brought some McD's for breakfast. I tell him he doesn't have to bring food, but he almost always does. I love that. And he brought me sweet tea, too! We sat and talked Warcraft stuff for almost an hour. The oldest Son is getting back into he game now as well, and will be bale to all be online to play together at some point, work schedules allowing.

Not much else going on. Guess I will get the day started and get my normal morning online reads/haunts done.

Quiet Chuckles

Or is that 'Quiet, Chuckles'? This morning, it is a bit of both for me. As my usual start of the day routine, I read RM's blog first ting most mornings (if she has it posted yet). Today she made mention of me because I said she went on a rant about the Cousin. So, I looked up the definition. Yeah, I stand by what I said. I didn't say it was done in a blustery way, or a long speech, but it fits. I'm sure in her thoughts, it was just voicing her opinion - same thing for many of us. I do it quite often!

Anyways, welcome back to another Monday. It is back to work today for me, though a bit later this morning than I like. I finally got an email notifying me I am moving to phase two of this project (it was date/time stamped early this morning) and it will probably last about a week, maybe two but I doubt it. Then it will be on to another one. I'm just happy to be working.

I didn't do much yesterday. Played some Warcraft. The Middle Son has gotten me into a guild he is in, and they actually play raid content in the game. Last night was my first time running with the group, and I thought I did okay. The Guild is good about explaining the mechanics of the boss fights, and I was able to get better gear for my character. I had a good time and laughed quite a bit. They are an older group - meaning not a bunch of teens and twenties griping and yelling about things. More laid back and joking with each other. The Son has said to me before he is the baby of the Guild, being the youngest. Yet, he plays the role sometimes of being a leader of some of the groups we run. Proud of him for that, and many other things.

I guess I am off to get some other reading of blogs done, and whatnot before work.
