(here is a picture of me Blogging, I have not taken any pictures so I have to borrow them from Ben)
Oh hey, this dress I am wearing is sewn from my sister, Nola, and today I have gotten so many compliments. it is nautical and cute all at the same time. (thanks!)
back to the walk of the squeaky wheel...
...Why oh why are we still on the hard? Welp MN nice gets us nowhere! Interestingly whenever we take the walk of the squeaky wheel we seem to get a little bit more done each time. for the past 2 weeks every monday morning Ben and I get up enough guts to talk with the Boatyard management ( the guy-suit, "the-man") He nods and then gets one little thing moving. so today we both go up and talk with Sean. this time we think we got through to him! He was funny... We asked when? one week? two weeks? one day? two days? He said, "I don't know." well I was happy to hear that he did not know cuz he has not told us anything he is true to his word about that one. Why don't you know? well he has not gotten any information from the electronic guy Mike. Well we have! then sean tried to blame us and say that we had the electronic unit on our boat and not in the ships room. What? We didn't know he was waiting for it. (which he was not, it was just words of blame) Then we said Mike has it all worked out, we've talked with him, he is waiting for you to give him the word. Sean again denied any wrong doing or laziness. He just said that Mike had not talked with him. We both said, "Oh you are waiting for Mike, well we will talk with him. we know he has what you need" He said "no no no I will talk to Mike." Sure we don't care who talks with him. Then that afternoon Mike stopped by to say," hey I talked with sean and I have the schematics so I'll stop by in the morning and give you some cabling and you can run the backbone" yippy. we will get going tomorrow on running the backbone ourselves. as much as we can do saves money! the squeaky wheel gets the grease!!! Ben took this picture and he edited it with the squeaky wheel! cute.We love all the men that work so hard here at the boatyard. Tom does alot of the little jobs. He put in the triducer, he worked on the mast, he helped with the rigging guy cliffton and He is just an all around good guy. cliffton is very sweet to us also, he communicates well - he is the rigging main guy. The yard guys have good communication and they apologize all the time for such lateness! I would love to run the Yard here!

I have not been so good lately since my back is way out. I think it might be soooo out that if I don't get relief of anysort I might have to go in for an MRI... they will just say, "Oh you have a bulging disk. Take these drugs, do physical therapy, and call me in the morning." I've heard it all before... The hardest thing is getting up and down a ladder to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I'm soooo sore, I don't walk well until I get up and moving for a while. This too shall pass. meanwhile we are just getting things done. (and I'm laying around for a few more days) I'm a good talking head. This is one of the reasons Ben and I are doing the sailing thing now cuz my back might not make it to retirement age. I told Ben today, "Don't worry, I will still captain from laying down and tell you what to do" All in jest! we had a good laugh.
oh pam ...

gute nacht

climbing up and down a ladder at night to go to the bathroom is rough (esp. with a sore back). This makes me value my flight of stairs and cat attacking my ankles when I have to get up in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteVery true that doctors would say "Take these drugs, do physical therapy, and call me in the morning".
Doctor Dave says minimal, light walking whenever you can, along with a high-protein diet might help.

P.S. I originally didn't know there were red-winged blackbirds in CT, though I saw (and heard) one a few days ago! The stripe on its wing was closer to and orange color.
