Pain

Steve had an interesting but uneventful day today.  He called on his way home to tell me the local news had been filming all day and I that should watch at 11.  He didn't talk to anyone, but he is sure he will be on some of the footage.   One of the conversations we did have again today was the 'stay below the radar.'  He has no choice but to picket but management will remember and he will, hopefully, be back to work soon.  No reason to be obnoxious or rude.  He was fine with that and said there were no incidents.  Day 4 and counting.   They met up at a park not to far from the plant so they could be bused in.  He said they had a spread of food there and then again out front of the plant.  Snacks, pizza, wings, hot dogs, coffee, pop, and water.  The barrel fires were going to keep warm.  I do think he is glad his shift is over. 

 

Talked to a girl from work today.  We are chipping in to do a basket for a Chinese Auction.  A girl that use to work with us was recently diagnosed with cancer.  She went because of a back ache she couldn't get rid of.  Turns out she is pretty much full of it.  Liver, pancreas, spine, brain.  It's such a shame and each time I think of it I get all teary eyed.  She's a single girl on her own putting on a brave face, but I know she is scared to death!  Technology is so much better then it was years ago, but when it is that far along it leaves little hope, yet I keep mustering up some.  I wish I had a magic words or a magic wand to change things, but I don't.  No one does.  Let's hope they can make her comfortable and maybe... just maybe.

 

The rest of my day was pretty boring.  I did laundry and watched football.  Oh, yeah I watched the Bills get their asses handed to them.  It was like watching a high school team against the pro's.  Pitiful!!  While doing laundry I twisted a bit funny and did something to a muscle in my back/shoulder.  I felt a little pull when I did it but it was fine.  Then a couple hours later I stretched.  A good stretch, arms high above my head and legs out stretched with toes pointed anddamn if I didn't cramp!  I actually got stuck with my arm up in the air for a second.  I was finally able to get rid of the cramp, but I ache now.  A throbbing type pain that just doesn't want to relax.  I think I will use the bed buddy tonight.   LOL  Now get your minds out of the gutter!!!

 

Hope you all have a great evening and a wonderful week!
