Not Sure!!

So I haven't posted in quite awhile, and my blog really has been lacking. So here goes. Health wise, I am still stable. Not quite sure exactly what that means but it sounds good right!! I still have many ups and downs on a day to day basis, but for the most part I am doing o.k. I still have problems sleeping and haven't seemed to be able to get on a good sleep schedule. I think that is all about me health wise.
So since I don't sleep anyway, I sometimes lay awake and think about things that I really don't like to think about. Such as the state of affairs of our country and how we got to this point! I am not a political person by any means, nor am I a great thinker, but I do have some things that I wonder about. Way back in the "good old days" a person did business simply by his "word" and a handshake. You never gave your word unless you could fulfill the promise, and this was enough for most people. Fast forward a few decades and people were using contracts and lawyers. Word of mouth was not even acceptable as a business proposition because people would no longer keep there promise. Fast forward to now, you can no longer even trust a piece of paper because people still find ways to cheat others out of their money and homes using contracts. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to take people by their word like the "good old days!!" I think the world would be a whole different place if we could, and if their weren't people that always want something for nothing. Enough of this, I don't thing it even makes sense because it was 3 in the morning and I was sick when I was thinking about all of this. One more thing though, what ever happened to an "honest days work for an honest days pay??" Some of these people stealing money through ponzi schemes and whatever spend so much time lying and cheating that I think they work twice as hard to steal than if they just got a real job and where being honest!! Sorry, I promise I am done! Well my blog isn't very interesting this time, but at least I updated it right??

What was I THINKING??

O.K. so here we go again, in my last post I talked about helping my dad's teaching friend do some work on her house. I get a call on Monday from trisha's cousin and he needs help putting in a couple of phone jacks in his existing rooms on his house! I went and looked at the job and thought that with his and my father in laws help it wouldn't be to hard. I FORGOT to look in the attic that I would have to spend a few minutes(or so I thought) in!! So Tuesday we get started on the job. It turns out that the way the roof was framed on his split level house did not allow me total access to the existing wall where the phone jack we would be feeding from was. So after a more than a few minutes laying across rafters in 12 inch deep insulation breathing through a mask, and after cutting a few holes in his wall we got it done. Doesn't sound to bad does it? It wouldn't have been if I weren't sick. J.K. it sucked no matter what. While spending my lovely morning in the attic, I was lucky to pop some more muscles loose around my ribs. That sure makes breathing through a mask that much harder let me tell you. Oh well, if he weren't such a great cousin I probably wouldn't have done it at all. At least that's what I tell myself, sometimes I think that I am too much of a pushover. Then Trish reminds me that we always help others because so many have helped us over the last 5 years, not always the same people that we help back in return, but that is not the point. My wife is very good about reminding me of these things in the weeks it takes me to recover from some of these jobs, and even though I might moan and groan during the recovery, I know that we are doing the right thing by helping others. I hope everyone remembers that during these hard times and tries to help others, even if it is just with time, and knowledge about things they might need help with. Pass it on right!!!
