work's been crazy busy, though I'm still behind *sighs*, and now we have someone knew that's observing me a few hours of the past couple days that will hopefully be able to assist me with some of my work
she seems to be interested and has asked just the right questions, so that's very cool - though I have to figure out how exactly she'll be able to assist my work
as a parts master, I have a lot under my belt and have already given away/given up a lot of the menial tasks I had been doing... but I think there's portions of my major duties I can probably pass on with training and working together that'll make some monthly tasks and projects go quicker.
have to think on it, but I think I'll come up with something ( she's also assisting in inventory, which works with me often, too )
to use up my remaining vacation time before it resets I had taken Monday off, this coming Monday off, and the next as well
it's still crazy busy and I'm still behind, but after not taking it last month as intended, I'm using it now since it's slightly less intense than last month was
last weekend I joined a couple old friends - one from way up north-country - and a couple of newly-met individuals to Renaissance Festival
it was fun - plus RennFest has bacon now, and by gods, one cannot pass up pure crispy bacon!! - and we hit a bar for a bit afterwards
...admittedly I'm thinking I'm becoming a bit too old for RennFest ( yes, I'm aware that people older than I go there and work there, too, but I just felt out of place there which I hadn't before )
*shrugs* oh well.
maybe I'm finally starting to feel my age - I know I looked it last weekend with how busy the last month-plus had been my beard was pretty wild ( I finally shaved yesterday morning )
I need one final haircut before it gets cold and I don't dare cut it until spring... if I don't get one last cut in, I'll be buried in hair by springtide :D
no matter how much I've walked this year ( albiet much less than years prior ), I haven't been able to lose any of the weight I gained over wintertide... I even gained some weight!
the ex-wife - as well as a couple other people who are aware of my pains and health-type issues - have gotten on me a tiny bit the past couple months as well :(
but being uninsured, ineligible for any free health shiite, and savin' less than 20$ a month, it's not as if I can just up and go see a doctor - even for just one visit
it's insane how costly doctors are nowadays... even UrgentCare, the only place I can kinda afford if it's an emergency, is now up to 80$ for just the visit ( it may be even more now since it's been awhile - when I first utilized them prior to N0bamacare kickin' in and jacking prices it was less than 50$... not cheap, but I could handle that )
SO... that's several months of savings to be able to go to UC for an emergency situation - a doctor visit would come to a HELLUVA lot more than that!!
*sighs/shrugs*
no worries, though, it's not like I'm dead yet :)
yes, something weird/awkward/annoying is up with my left arm - if I try to reach out with it, push against something with my left hand, lean against anything with the left arm, lift anything even lightly heavy, or try to raise it close to shoulder level, it goes numb and basically "turns off"
then I have a limp arm hanging by my left side until feeling comes back... a "Yay" situation
I'm already used to it enough that I avoid utilizing it if I don't have to - it's just kind of a bitch, especially since I'll wake up having slept on that side and can't move it for a bit :(
for all I know it's related to my legs randomly going numb, which has been ongoing for over a decade now but never resolved before I'd ran out of $$ to find out more ( I did find out it didn't relate to my bad heart and they thought it may be nerve damage from my accident years ago - but they wouldn't test that without $$ to do so )
pain is such a prominent aspect of my life that I really don't feel any of it's a big deal
hells, I've had chest pain since memory began due to my bad heart - and that hasn't killed me yet
( if I ever woke up without chest pain, I know I'd be dead since not a single day in my life has been without it )
it's one of the reasons I had the nickname of "Emdee/M.D." back in my mid-teens, with all of my health issues
oh well - I wish others would stop worrying since nothing can be solved until I either win a lottery or insurance becomes free
...since I don't buy lottery tickets and N0bamacare is doing exactly the opposite effect, it's unlikely either will be ANY time soon
BUT... enough of the ranting, rambling randomness - it's a 3day weekend for me with 36hrs with my spawnlings in the midst of it :)
Farethee well and enjoy your weekend, my freaky darlings!

3 steps in regards to dumbass of the year Kim Davis ( as I've posted/re-posted with editing elsewhere ) ::
step 1 : jailed... in permanence until she acquiesces to court order, resigns, or until 15-30days after steps 2-4 occur
these next steps are to occur no matter what she decides to do :
step 2 : have her removed from position for official misconduct
step 3 : have her pay for her free attorney, the court fees, and then repay the money earned while refusing to do her job due to official misconduct
step 4 : bar this woman permanently from any official position, ever - be it federal, state, or local
