My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

| Interestingly this is today's blog entry, even though yesterday's was posted today. Part of the problem is my time is earlier than site time. The other half of the problem is, I don't usually get in here to write until around midnight my time. Tonight, however, the girls are already in bed and I'm enjoying a bit of peace and quiet over an hour earlier than most nights. Of course, I'm not complaining, and it will be nice having my entry done and getting myself to bed before the early morning hours' especially since I have to be up earlier tomorrow. In fact, I could get used to this very easily and quickly, but hey, let's not jinx this. I had a kind of slow day again, still suffering from dry sinuses and pretty sure an infection. I don't do well with dust, but had a pretty good dose of it a few days back that started my sinus issues. At the same time, the weather turned colder and much dryer, which also irritates my sinuses. Combined together and I was suffering a lot of sinus problems just from that combination. Now, with my sinuses already irritated and dry, I likely have an infection as well. I know this because I go through this every winter. My head, at least, is doing better. Not a lot, but I'll take anything. I didn't have the headaches through the day like I have since I smacked it. Also, I don't have the sensation of wobbling back and forth like I did the last two days. I'm still a bit dizzy and my his still showing a lot of bruising, but even this is less than the last two days. I also think some of the stuff is a result of sinus pressure as well as the head injury. I actually got to the shelving project I had started when I hit my head and finished it up this afternoon. Of course, nothing works according to plan, but it went pretty well with only a few minor adjustments to the original plan. I did drop one of the brackets and ended up having to pull the washer out to retrieve it. That would have been no big problem but the way they are set up, the dryer has to come out to move the washer. They are in a closet area along with the boiler unit, so it's a tight squeeze for everything. In the process of pulling the dryer out, the lint hose broke, so we had to fix that. Luckily, when we purchased the washer and dryer, we picked up all-new attaching hoses and lines but didn't need to replace the lint hose. I still had the new one in the garage and was able to get it replaced and everything back into place with little problems. Now, tomorrow, I should start on the next project, but my wife returns to work so it will be me and the girls home all day. That makes it difficult for me to do much. If I get involved with anything, they seem to need me for everything, so I try and not get too deeply involved, however, if I don't get involved and reserve my time for them, they don't need me for anything. It's crazy, that's for sure. I'm also thinking that I should try and get myself out for some ice fishing, the season is going by quickly and I haven't even used any of the stuff I purchased. That means, I need to help the girls through the day and get something started for supper, then when my wife gets home, maybe load up my stuff and go out for a few hours. |
| We had a change of plans today; actually, a couple of changes. The first, at the last minute, was my younger daughter's plan to stay at a friend's overnight. It was set up earlier this week, originally for Friday and Saturday. But, because my wife had tested positive for Covid, we talked to the friend's mom and let her know how everything was going, that my wife was done with the quarintine starting today, and let her decide from there. After all, we don't want to get anyone sick, and we firmly believe everyone has their choice to make. The friend's mom decided to stay on the safe side and changed the sleepover until tonight. Today, however, she was still concerned about exposure, so she cancelled out. Of course, we understand and support her, but for our daughter, it's still difficult to deal with. She did better than we expected, but we still decided to make it up to her by spoiling her a bit. She got to pick out some chips and pop, some candy, and rent any movie she wanted. She also got to stay up late, and just went to bed a few minutes ago, reading for a bit before she falls asleep. We had decided to let the older girl stay overnight at a friends house as well since it would provide my wife and I some time alone, something we have not had in months. That sleepover did work out, but it didn't help us any with the younger girl stuck at home with us. We didn't make any plans except to just stay home and enjoy the day and night alone, but still, it was a bummer for us, too. I was trying to remember the last time my wife and I had a night without the girls, but I can't remember the last time. We had also planned on cleaning out the laundry center and putting up more shelves, but I just wasn't feeling up to it today. I am doing better than yesterday, but not feeling like doing anything strenuous yet. I still get a bit dizzy from time to time, I'm a bit sensitive to bright light, and my head is still very sore. I have quite a bruise at the point of impact, and I'm still having pretty bad headaches. I really whacked it hard, and it's likely going to take a few days to get back to normal. |
