Change

After 2 years and 5 months of attempting to survive my job at Citizens, my old shift opened up at Coosa. They contacted me and I'm returning starting 9/14. While I've used the opportunity to learn a lot about clinical pharmacy, there is limited opportunity to use it here at Coosa. But that's not the most important consideration. The shift allows me to sleep late if needed which will be a blessing when I only get 5 hours of sleep in a night. I've been practicing my sleep habits and find I don't have to get up to go to the bathroom. I think once I've adapted to the old sleep schedule, I'll feel better and get more exercise.


In Cullman this week, I donated 2 days to get some brush-hogging done. With such a short window, I didn't focus on any of the other work. I did get all the fields near the house done and also was able to brush-hog the fields behind the old house. I am finally comfortable on the tractor most of the time. The addition of a safety belt helped. I have now mown almost all the areas so I know what I can get away with.


The 6 wheeler is having a little problem with a fuel pump. I ordered the replacement and will install it when I am there next.

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
