Finally, today was a good day for me. My daughter has been concerned about me she was afraid I have dementia. She made an appointment for me with a Neurologist. She took off work to go with me. After almost an hour of tests, the Doctor said he wished his mind was as sharp as mine. He didn't see any signs of dementia. Now, what is the next thing she will worry about?

Why was she worried about you possibly having memory issues?

I've spent the last two days on the lathe, and milling machine making up, and modifying pulleys, and shafting for the trolley system for the garage doors. Made another big batch of southwest soup earlier today.

I spent my life as a machinist, it's truly a skill very few can ever master, tho many make the claim. It was a great careere for me because it let me use my hands and my brains every day. I miss the creativity and seeing tangable results. Keep making chips buddy.

I've spent a good part of yesterday going through the clothes in my closet that I haven't worn in 10-15 years. They just sit there, so I'm going to get rid of them. Oh, and a ton of clothes hangers that I have been storing, too. I had an appointment for my shoulder today, so while in town, I dropped off everything for charity. It looks strange to open my closet and see a big empty spot....but at the same time, it feels good. I have plenty more to go through, but it's a start!I

After that I stopped at the grocery store. The parking lot is down hill from the store, so I jumped up onto the back of my shopping cart, and rode it all the way to the other side of the lot...I had picked up quite a bit of velocity by the time I finally jumped off! 😂.

Pleased for you that you took the action you did against your boss.. it was all getting a bit ridiculous the way he was asking you to do all these different shifts..

Yeah. I was starting to really feel taken advantage of, especially since when I signed on, my schedule was "fixed" and shows up in the computer as "unavailable" Sunday, something that could supposedly only be changed by me. I was also to be off on Monday and scheduled to work Tuesday through Thursday.

A co-worker called out "sick" the first day after her two-week vacation! Then again and again other times. Finally called on a Saturday (think that was either the day before Mother's Day or Mother's Day) when "something came up" and said she could only work Wednesdays, etc., ad infinitum. It's something at least once a week, sometimes more often. Heck, even the boss is out a couple of times a month that aren't regular days off, and I'm often the only one there.

I finally got darned tired of the dept. manager and supervisor and the co-worker behaving as though their not being at work wasn't a big deal because they could count on me to pick up the slack. There's just so much "slack" I'm willing to bear...jussayin'

No more Mr. Nice Guy! Or Ms. Nice Gramma👵

It is miserable to have to take on so much just to have to cover for others.
 
I would never claim to be a machinist, but I really enjoy turning big pieces of metal into little ones, and I generally get the result I'm after, even if it's not in the quickest manner, or even in the first attempt. I learn something new every time I work on something. I have a lot of respect for the guys who are really good at it, and know all the little tricks and work around's.

I worked in Quality Assurance for the Defence and the Aerospace industries, for 20 years. Every job had something to add into making the final product....Engineer's, Set Up Men, etc. But if it wasn't for the machinists, there would be no product. They were the most crucial part of the industry!!
 
Finally made it to the post office after which went straight to the polls. I left the house a little later than expected but it worked out great. Thank goodness, my meds fit in my P.O. box so didn't have to wait in line. It was lunch time and my cousin's mother, who works the polls had ordered sandwiches for herself and coworkers. They had plenty left over so she offered me some. At first I said no thank you but she insisted. Then it dawned on me...I had no idea what I was having for lunch and I was getting hungry, so I took two turkey and cheese sliders. I ate one for lunch and one for dinner.

I also did a lot of napping today. I guess my body needed it. Played WWF2 as usual and watched a little T.V. It's almost midnight and since it looks like I'll be up for a while, I would have liked to go down and do laundry but it's raining outside.

Watering early, when its cool. Its hot and we so need rain but none in site for the rest of the week. The banana trees looking good, though as are most everything else.
Speaking on zoom to a group of people later this afternoon so told hub I'm jumping in the pool and eating early...he can grab a sandwich. He and the cat both love Black Forest ham...lol.

Have a nice day, folks!
 
Both Mrs. L and I are feeling a tad 'off colour' today - nothing bad - maybe it was my cooking! Anyway, it's an excuse to be lazy ish. Mrs. L baked a 'Pineapple upside down' cake and I did a little tidying up in the garden. The grass needs cutting again, but I don't think I've got enough petrol for the mower. Weather not so good. It's overcast and a lot cooler, but at least it's dry - so far.

Today I peeled a potato....right hand.....sans thumb....whoopee!!! View attachment 224254
no I am not going extra senile
just an achievement.

I read about what all you busy folks are doing and I am dead jealous so
I got out my potato peeler and after about 20 mins all the skin was off
of course now I have to cook it...real mashed potato with butter--yum.

I hope you mean the skin is off the potato, not off your other hand!
