Frajabulous day!

I got up at 05:00, after getting to sleep sometime after 01:00. We had a really neat thunderstorm starting about 04:00, and it lasted until about 06:00. We might've gotten about 1.5" of rain. Which is kinda unfortunate, since the grass will start growing again....

So, I got to work in time to have a cuppa coffee, then I had to go to physical therapy. I told the cute physical therapy girl that I was feeling great, 95 % cured. She did her re-evaluation and agreed with me, and wrote out a note for the Doc. So, I carried the note downstairs and to the ER, where I did all of the paperwork to get me back to work on my night schedule.

The schedule in diagnostic was not very busy, so I told the boss that I would be happy to go home if she would find someone to cover CT for me... especially since this was all going to be overtime for me. So... she did, and I got outta there at 09:30.

I am so very very happy to be going back to nights. I am intending to do my exercises and keep doing them, and to treat my back with love and respect. At first, I thought that the pain was the punishment for hurting my back, but I know now what the real punishment is having to work first shift!

I had a nice nap with a really weird dream. I won't bore you with the details, but it really gave me something to think about.

I woke up about 16:30, and we have still had no word from Tyler. I'm gonna call JD later to see if he did leave yesterday. He was making a stop in Arlington, he probably wound up overstaying there yesterday and didn't leave there until late this morning. I haven't got him trained to call me when he changes his plans.

I'm not quite ready to declare him a missing person yet...

I'm planning on staying up most of the night tonight and sleeping tomorrow day, so as to get turned around properly. I'm full of energy right now, so it should work.

I've been working on my counterpoint to Al's Sunday entry. This is going to be more fun than I thought...

I just got back from eating; Karen and I went to Village Inn, just to see if their service has improved any. It hasn't. Or maybe we just look like people who don't deserve good service... the fella who came in just before us was done with his meal and had paid his bill and left before we were served.

On the way home, Karen drove by Kims and we stopped. I was rather impatient to get home, so I left her over there; so she's babysitting while Kim and Steve go out to eat.

I checked the answering machine when I got home, and there was a message from Tyler... he's still in Huntsville, he's got some stuff to finish up before he comes up. So I don't need to worry about where he is any more....

More tomorrow....

Thanx for being here!
