Suck It Up

I was amazed that i got out of bed this morning nad made it to my first day of work.  I was starting to come down with a cold yeaterday and i was really feeling it today.  Thankfully for the first day it was really simple.  To sum up the day all i did was connect a few hydraulic hoses, reinstall some panels back onto a loader and hone out a bore because a pin was binding inside where it is supposed to turn freely.  Spent a good 4 hours doing that with a drill.  Slowly moving it in and out, in and out.  Get boring after the first 20 minutes, and the pin was still binding after all that work so guess what i get to continue to do tomorrow :-S

I was offered to work overtime today, but when the end of the day rolled down i was still feeling like s**t, if i wasn't so sick i'd stay till 5 or 6, but i don't wanna take a risk of working too hard and end up getting worse so i can't make it in tomorrow.  Instead went home and slept for a good 2 hours.  If i had more than 70 bucks to last me till payday i would go out and get some cold FX to help out.  Guess i'm gonna have to suck it up till the fever is gone.

Didn't even feel like cooking today, but i guess some part of my brain inside of me knew what had to be done so it got me up off my ass and i made another batch of that chili that i made last week.  Instead of ground beef in the chili i used ground turkey.  Originally thats what the recipe called for, but there have been numerous times i would go to the store to find out they didn't have any in stock so i would have to improvise with ground beef.  Once i'm all caught up on bills and more spendable income i had a thought.  For breakfast every morning i should start eating yogurt with granola, strawberry and blueberry mixed in.  I do wanna start eating healthier and i think thats a really good start for the morning.

But i should get to bed, gotta be up at 5:30 to be at work for 7.  Hopefully i feel better tomorrow, i would really love to get some overtime in

  1. Sounds like a good start to the day, except berries are expensive! I recommend using frozen berries. Good luck with the super early start!
