I'm 4 days post surgery for a disc replacement. I was prescribed oxy, every 4 hours. That scares me. Today I took one at 6am. I wanted to see if I could make it all the way through the night without, but I had a lot of pain. I made it 12 hours yesterday. 15.5 hours. That's progress.

Wheels 🛞 Down. So happy to be home.

I'm flying today. Flight is delayed. I'm in pain and exhausted. This will have to suffice as my travel day update posts. Thank you for your understanding.

Thinking a lot about this little guy today. A week ago he met an unexpected end. Lukie, I really miss your face pressed into mine every morning. I miss my goofy boy with no understanding of personal space. I wish every morning it was you waking me up. Happy, loving, and enthusiastic until the last.

I love this guy. I hope you will too. youtube.com/shorts/3_qbS...

This guy is probably leaving us today, depending on some additional testing. I am heartbroken. He most likely has bullous emphysema. It causes his lungs to leak in his chest cavity. A chest tap released a liter of air. The treatment is an open chest surgery where the damaged portion of the lung

Went to the hotel bar with a bunch of friends and my wife. The only one getting free Whisky is me. I've had a double and single crown rocks. Didn't order the single. I know who the bartender likes. Sorry, wife's not into a mix-in.

Round 2: Wheels 🛞 Up.

Sitting in an airport lounge. I was about to post about the entitled people on the show Love It or List It. Then this person sits down next to me. Talk about being entitled. JFC.

Am I understanding this correctly? The President, the Vice-President, the Speaker of the House AND the Secretary of Stare were all at the White House Correspondent's Dinner together and security was so laxed that a guy ran through security with a long gun? I call bullshit.

I've heard this song only 2 or 3 times. It's not often played. During COVID Delaney Buffett made this documentary called "Songs You Don't Know By Heart" with her father. This is a beautiful song with an equally beautiful back story. music.youtube.com/watch?v=bg9P...

When I turned 18, my dad told me it was time to get a job. 'When I was your age, my very first job I had, I worked with over 500 people under me.' 'Wow,' I said. 'Did you work in some big corporation?' 'No!' he replied. 'I mowed the lawn in a cemetery.'

Semi-lazy dinner just went in the oven. Tasty Taco Stuffed Peppers. The salsa is scratch made and preserved in our kitchen. Admittedly there are some canned goods. Rotel and black beans (no sodium added), green chillies, diced jalapeños. Prepackaged shreaded cheese. Link follows.

Jesus EFFIN Christ. I know most of them are unqualified. But, HOLY SHIT! The bar was set low and they still manage to limbo right under it.

It looks like I'm starting early.

Date night. No zoom. Love their Christmas show. It never gets old.

Wheels 🛞 Up. Odd for a Sunday. Customer wanted me this week. The condition was to pay double time for Sunday travel so I can work Monday full day and take first flight home on Tuesday. It's nice to be in demand.

Wheels up. Heading home is bittersweet. I want to be there. I wish I was there yesterday morning. I dread hearing only one barking dog when I walk through the door.
