Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Yesterday was a long day

It actually began on Thursday. I was awake around 4-5 PM, put in a full shift and then I had to head to the Sepulveda VA ACC for two appointments. The first one was at 1040 and the second was at 1300.
It focused mostly on my neuropathy. I got an increase in the medication for it.....................that's it.
The carpal tunnel netted the doc ordering a new pair of wrist splints...........the ones I got a few months ago did not fit right and the thumb hole was too big along with the main body. They would slide down and dig into the upper base of my thumb and it hurt like hell. The bonus? The prosthetics fitter is only in two days a week and Friday ain't one of them............
By the time I got home and had something to eat and sat with my feet up it was well over a 24 hour day.
The "extra bonus" was the bloody damn traffic on the 405, 5 and 14 heading home. It was a mess all the way to Canyon Country.....................
It pretty much sucked....................
