Hello everyone,I hope everyone is doing great. I am doing OK. I have been very busy the last couple of months. I hope to update the website by the end of the month. I was going to try and learn a new program to update my website but changed my mind. I have had other things going on too.Henry had to have emergency eye surgery on his other and only eye left. He is totally blind now. The eye itself is still there. But, the contents inside the eye have been removed and replaced with silicon. At least he has no more pain from his glaucoma. The eye vet said he is doing great at his one week check up.I hope to be going back to Tennessee at the end of March to check up and stay for a little while on my property in Paris, Tennessee.Take care everyone! Bye for now.

Well, I hope everyone is well. If you haven’t notice the website has not been updated in a couple of weeks. It probably will not either. I am not in the Christmas mood. This year. We are having a lot of remodeling work done in the house and it has caused alot of chaos. We have not put up any Christmas decorations. Another reason is I will be learning a new program in the new year to create and maintain a website and just haven’t fooled around with it yet.
Some breaking news. I am getting really fed up with work lately. So, if I don’t get a certain position I have been trying for I will be taking early retirement late next year.
For everyone else have a Merry Christmas and remember the reason for the season, JESUS!

My favorite time of year is coming between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hopefully, I will get a transfer in my job. I will keep you posted. Nothing new with me right now. Except on the medical front. I started taking a diabetes pill, Actos. Not that I have diabetes or pre-diabetes. But, my glucose has been 103 the last couple of times and it should be under 100. So, the doctor stated he wanted me to try this medication for 3 months to see if it helps with that and my fatty liver. They have found that by giving the pill before hand you are 70% less likely to get diabetes. I have also started dieting. Basically eating less. I gave up colas over a year ago and drink just water and tea. Though sometimes it is sweetened tea. The majority of the time I drink unsweetened tea.

Well, I hope everyone is doing fine.

Well, this time I am sick with a chest cold. This has not been my year in reference to being healthy.
As far as work. I had today off because of overtime and the company not wishing to pay. I have a 4 day weekend. Which is good. Since I have been in bed sleeping most of the day and coughing. I have no sick time left. So, good thing I got sick on my days off…..NOT!

I am thinking of taking early retirement. If I do it won’t be until sometime next year.

Today is my Dad’s 54th birthday. My sister’s was Tuesday. It has been a birthday week.
Happy Birthday Dad and Stacey!!!

Well, nothing new here. I have been out on Workers Comp due to the side effects of the medications I am on. I have another two weeks on the medication. I can’t wait until that day.
I don’t like being on Worker Comp. But, as for right now I have no choice. I hope everyone else is doing great.

I got my new computer last Friday, an HP, with an AMD processor. I thought about getting a Dell again. However, the quality of my last Dell I was never impressed with. So, far this HP is great. I hopefully will have it back up to where the old computer was within a couple of months.

I have been out of work last Wednesday, today I went in for a couple of hours then left and will be gone again tomorrow. I had a blood exposure at work and taking the PEP (post exposure prophylaxis) medication. This medication makes my stomach sick/nausea. Now it is giving me diarrhea. So, until these things clear up. I am out from work.

First of all this is going to be a rant. I was watching channel 52 ABC family, one of my new favorite shows of Kyle XY, and the the channel goes blank. So, I check the other TV. Yep, it is blank too. So, I call Brighthouse to let them know. After spending 15 minutes on the phone, I get this nice lady who says “I haven’t heard of a problem with that channel. But, I schedule you an appointment to have a technician come out to your house to check your cable.” I state there is nothing wrong with the cable. Both TV’s are doing it and all the other channels are fine. It is the signal. “Well we have to schedule you an appointment for a technician to come and check the schedule.” No please don’t because by the time they get here someone will figure out the channel is down and fix the problem. Don’t you people have someone control room monitoring all the channels? No response. Just let them know the channel is down. Thank you and goodbye. The channel then comes up for about 10 seconds then goes out again. Customer service and technical support need to improve at corporations as far as letting one hand know what is happening and then post for customers to know immediately. Not 5 days after the problem is fixed.
