Think we all have days like that when we can't sleep. Know I had one a couple of nights ago. Just one of those things.
You are doing great Jack and it is good that your manager notices it.
Don't beat yourself up. The A is right next to the S. I think it was just a typo.
Got some good sleep yesterday, so last night was another cake walk. I was able to order my tires today before I went home and they were even a few bucks cheaper than i was quoted over the phone. Under $260. :)
They're going to call me in to schedule an appointment. Probably as early as Tuesday. Going to make sure the glass place is ready for me that day too since they're right down the street. $400 bucks plus the $40 I put into parts for the fix I did makes me a happy guy. I thought it was going to cost me $1,200-$1,500 to get this car in decent shape again. All I need is new breaks and a burner phone and I'll be ready for anything on the road again. :)
I don't know if I'd say I'm doing great, but at least the trajectory is up for the first time in years. I'll make it someday. One small goal at a time. :)
Do Right, Be Right. :)

It was a typo, just annoyed that I didn't catch it before I posted it. Happens.
Good sleep helps on all things. Don't rock the boat when things go smooth.
I would love for things to go smooth around me. My idiot cousin never showed up on Friday. Today I have to get laundry done and if she shows up while I am out oh well that is too bad. Can't stop and wait on her to move her butt. 'sides that is a tough enough chore around here as it is. With all the junk on the walkway I have to use to get out and about.
Talk to you later. Got to get a move on that.

Seems we've had some tornado action up here in the Northlands. One touched down in Alonsa Manitoba Friday night. One man dead.

Good luck with your chores. :)
Hope the tornado's didn't effect you at all.
Checked my BP twice tonight, because I just couldn't believe the results of the first one after my first break.
111/71 !!!!!!!!
When I checked it again at the end of the shift it was 123/84 !!!!
I never thought I'd have to worry about finding out how low you can go before you have to start worrying.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Got it done without too much damage to myself.
I am safe. We get the odd funnel cloud out over Vancouver harbour and sometimes they come on land. Drop some water and then disappear.
Alright on the great BP readings Jack.
Mine at my doc's the other week or so ago now was 130/50 perfectly normal but as a rule mine sits at around 90/30 or something like that.

Not completely. They can happen in Alberta and the other prairie provinces because they are so flat.

My cousin showed up yesterday afternoon. We went over the local McDonald's I saw her pictures of Scotland and the Orkneys. Beautiful country. 
She moaned about the repeating of names on some of the family gravestones around Aberdeen. I told her we do the same thing over here. She concluded it was ridiculous but hey it's a family tradition.
Learned my Scottish great grandfather's name from here though. Pretty boring. Charles.

I'm glad your cousin stopped by; it sounds like a nice visit!

It was okay. Short and sweet. I can say this we are definitely our fathers' daughters. Certain mannerisms about both of us show that.
