On top of that, I feel like crap this morning. I think it might be a combination of several factors. I haven't slept well most of the week. That's left me not only tired, but stiff and sore. On top of that, I think allergies are hitting me with hints of pollen in the air. And on top of that, I think the new cholesterol medicine doesn't like me all that much. I didn't take it this morning.

My co-worker was back in the office today after being out in the field yesterday. When I saw him this morning, I started making up a bunch of weird crap about what happened in the office yesterday. Then I followed it up with the old "No, wait! That's my soap opera!" gag. It reminded me of the good old days around here. When the other Fawtly folk were still around, and we were the cool kids to hang with.

I was both early and late getting up today.
We had to drop the boy off at his school for his trip to D.C. this morning. So I set my alarm for 0340 (though I was up early than that), to get him to the school by 0430. When I got back home, I took my usual medicine and went back to sleep. Then finally got back up about 15 minutes ago.

My daughter asked the wife yesterday if she would take her to Hobby Lobby. This being my wife, she conveniently came down with a bout of "my stomach is bothering me". This didn't surprise me in the least, as my wife is highly resistant to the idea of expending energy (except for her kickboxing classes).
So, to try and salvage something from the situation, I suggested my daughter could watch a movie and pop some popcorn later after dinner. This seemed to at least mollify the child a bit. And she remembered later on, as after dinner she chose to watch 101 Dalmatians (the original animated version, not that live action remake abomination).

I was hoping to smoke some turkey breasts today. It's been more than a month since I've done that. Fate, it seems, was against me this weekend. The grocery store only had one pack of the turkey breasts, and it's really not worth the effort unless I can get two of them.
So I opted for what has become an old standby - chicken breasts. I'll marinate them and throw them on the grill later this evening.

Not that I was in too much of a hurry. Near as I can tell, this week will continue the whole slow time at work thing. Still, I did have some work to do yesterday. Monitoring a hydrotest for one of the clients. That's easy, though, since it mostly involves looking at pictures and responding to text messages. Which is the only reason I do it.

The boy sent his mom a few more texts yesterday. One was a picture of him wearing some sunglasses he either borrowed or bought. They had American flags on the lenses. The other was a picture of the White House, where he mentioned his favorite thing about it was seeing the snipers on the roof. Because they are snipers.

Going back to Saint Patrick's Day...
I made sure to wear my green today. Not only do I have a green dress shirt, but I also have green t-shirt on underneath. The green t-shirt goes back to our 2016 family trip to Disney. It was my family, my younger brother's family, and our mother. We were in the park on Saint Patrick's Day and had all bought green, Saint Patrick's Day themed shirts to wear. The kids have all since outgrown their shirts, but I have not.
