Wow, long time no post.
Aug. 16th, 2010 12:19 pmWork has been eating my time mostly. I had a trip to PA planned last week and finally late thursday afternoon I was told that I wasn't going. So, I made phone calls, canceled plans and managed to meet with my the guy who is going today to transfer all of the knowledge. Even he was surprised he got picked to go versus me but we are making it work as a team and that is good. Ended up working on thursday night and on friday to make up time from the doctor appointments.
The verdict from the kidney specialist is that I can't take calcium supplements. So, I've stopped that. We will check again in 6 mos and see how I'm processing the excess calcium and if I haven't used it up we might try some meds but she felt that that was probably unlikely. So all good there. It was good to have an answer and not have to go through another panel of tests. Friday I ended up picking up the house a bit and then resting. The week had wore me out. Game night started and we managed to strategize well enough that the bad guys realized we had them outgunned. Not sure what they will be bringing with them next time but I'm sure it will be bigger. Which ain't cool. Got a side quest at the end that is looking like its not going to be a side quest. Went to bed and I slept okay. The sleeplessness/restless nights have been taking their toll.
Saturday we got up and going and I headed over to Steffan's shop. We worked until 8pm on my casting project. Nothing really accomplished but some frustration but we learned a few things. Which is good. I think we might actually get a full cast next time. I luv casting..hot metal is so much fun to play with. Got home and mel and marina were working on her shoes. I brought home dinner of burritos. Enjoyed those and then mel played games while I read. I had finished #23 for the year which was "The King's Bishop" by Candace Robb and started "Blood Bound" by Patricia Biggs.
Sunday we got up and hit breakfast. Got home and mel cleaned up his armor explosion at the end of the family room and I finished up #24. Then I sat down and spent most of the early afternoon and evening weaving on the loom for my A&S project. I got about a foot or so done, not as much as I hoped but it was hot and I was tired. Ended up watching the last half of Empire Strikes Back and then all of RotJ. Mel and I then hit showers and I am now reading "Dyer Consequences" (no that's not spelled wrong its a mystery at a yarn store.)
Again I had a pretty restless night. Digestion issues aren't helping. Work has gotten interesting with being thrown into a selection committee for a new piece of hardware. I get to sit and grade 8 suppliers over 2 days next week for our next down select. Its gonna be a few long days. Actually kinda glad that I didn't end up in PA this week (sorry maggie!) but I have a lot of research and reading to do on the suppliers for next week. A quick glance is showing a real lack of technical writing from one vendor. Considering from the response to one of our questions I couldn't tell which question they were answering. Oh, well. Should be interesting.
