Cherie's been sick

12/30/08 Tuesday
Cherie’s been sick since Friday or so. She’s dog sitting for Janie so spends the nights there. I ran up there and brought her some chicken Alfredo last night. She didn’t eat much but told me that she did finish it off but it took four hours. I visited Chuck and Lillian to take Miracle her Christmas present but Lillian is sick too. I hope I wasn’t rude but decided not to stick around too long.

I don’t seem to get much done lately. Part of that is probably due to the depression I constantly fight. I keep pondering about my call to dad, wondering if anything will come of it. Then I look at all I don’t do and doubt that I will ever accomplish anything. Hard to believe I once preached about the power of a positive attitude as a marketing consultant and while training my employees. I was always a “Can do” guy who took on whatever came my way.

Worked on the shop a little. A little at a time is how it goes around here. I see something to do and start on it. Then I see something else and forget what I was doing, thus getting sidetracked. I’ve been thinking on getting the planer mounted for a week now, figuring out how I want to do it and then figuring it out again because I forgot what I’d figured out before. So finally I focused on just doing it as best I could and got a lot done. I hurt my back when I lifted the planer off it’s stand. It still hurts this morning. Gotta quit doing that.

Cherie saw a doctor this morning. There is a new one at the clinic and she likes him a lot. In a few we will go to the Big Spring VA where I will get the chest x-rays done the doctor ordered when he discovered I’d tested positive for tuberculosis back in the 80’s.

It’s going to be a warm day so I want to get as much done as I can.
