The Working Man’s Blues

Published by thomasforthe at 6:48 am under journal Edit This

Well here it is, my day off, the pain and cramping have eased, but the sunburn is still pretty lively! We worked a half day on Saturday to get the job caught up and were allowed to go home early because we did it quickly….

Nothing says ‘fun’ like: working until you want to drop in high heat and humidity, while untangling safety ropes and electric cords, and trying to stay out of each others way with eight men performing several different processes at once.

Even though I do hurt it feels good to be able to say I have a job again even if it is not in my field of expertise. That will come again in time and I will be ready for it when it gets here, or at least my body will….

Adam called last week, and my granddaughter is arriving around September 22 or so… I haven’t heard him that excited in a long time. Maybe now that I am working I at least have a chance of seeing her, though it probably will not be on the day she is born. Sometimes life is terribly unfair you know.

Hopefully I will get the cell phones turned back on in the near future, strange how much a part of my life they had become in so few years of having them. It is funny how being able to call Jo anytime of day or from nearly anywhere is comforting beyond description.

Until next time,

Tom
