It’s Monday. Big Deal.

Ain’t much goin this Monday. I slept very poorly last night. I woke up. I woke THE HELL up at 315 am. Did not go back to sleep. Or, I should say, I took melatonin and snoozed a little bit til 530 when I didn’t get up. I stayed in bed till Emily got up at 555. But still slept very poorly. I’m tired now at 940pm. Tough to overcome. There is always tonight.

Managed to get all in order this morning. Before Emily left, though that was late. She had all she needed – lunch, coffee, etc. I am that good. In three days school is out and I have the summer off from morning duty. Bout time.

I went to work out at 715. Usual. Met with the trainer. Did a ton of reps any sets and managed to pull a muscle in my back. It’s not too exciting. As a matter of fact it’s just pain.

Went home and did my duty. Clean and shaved, the way God and Mr Gillette intended. Got dressed. I look sharp. I always look sharp.

Off to work. I love my job. Wait, hold that thought. I actually heartily dislike my job. I need to win the lottery and quit my job. That is the essence of my retirement plan. Hope it works.

Did not manage much in the way of work while at work. No energy or motivation. I pretty much just sat and stared at me computer. What fun.

I went to my Dr appointment at one. His office is blessedly close to mine. About 5 minutes. I don’t make appointments with my doctor, his office sets them and calls me. I like the system, no work on my part. Just show up. The doc and I have known each other several years and get along well. I can’t say I got much of a physical. He listened to my heart and that was it. Asked questions. Made sure to order very extensive blood tests for all known maladies. Not much else. We discussed how his Med group did not respond to my written complaints. Not at all. Much to his benefit he did not defend them. I still will prob not get the refund I am seeking. Whatever.

Back to the office just past two. I worked some till about 330 and headed home. I am meeting a landscaper whom I hope can do a clean out of my property. The weeds are six feet tall and all the rain has pushed that. Rain has also kept the help from weeding and whacking.

Melvin was there about 30 minutes late. Don’t care. I need weeding assistance in a huge way. 5 acre huge. We walked the property again and rediscussed the price as well. He is going to take over twice monthly whacking to keep this place in check. I don’t ever want to spend so much money on this crap again. Funny news, Melvin is a big Honda fan like me and loves my Type R. And strangely, just like me, he wants a corvette and has for many years. I am same way. We shared lots of ideas about cars.

Melvin stayed about 30 to 40 minutes. And now, the main event. I got the yellow tail from the fridge and got the bbq ready. Em got home a few minutes later and took care of the sides. We had an excellent feast of a meal on a Monday night. Love it? Me too. We also finished a bottle of wine. That helps.

Tottered off to bed early. Tonight we are beat.
