Making It Up As I Go Along #472

Pebble Beach
Grey blue high peaks
Across blue swells
Under light blue skies
Tufted cottony white

Distant deer bask lazily in a lush clearing
Hidden orcas patrol unseen gorges
Eagles glide silently overhead
A giant peak’s snow intermingles with the cotton

And here I sit
Atop a great washed up log
Among the smooth worn cobbles
Watching sand fleas explore my foot



MONDAY…
--- Back to work. It goes ok for the most part.
--- After work I get the e-mail from Budget Rent a Car. They feel we owe them another $1300 for ‘damages’. Budget is a slimy, untrustworthy organization who treat customers worse than any company I’ve ever dealt with.

TUESDAY…
--- Slower and harder getting out of bed today and work is slow too.
--- Insurance company does not get back in touch with me today after I forwarded the Budget BS to them yesterday. Possibly not a good sign.
--- Late trip to physio. There from 7 PM to almost 8:30. Almost fall asleep there.

WEDNESDAY…
--- Night shift is busy. At it steady until about 2:30 in the morning… with walk in finger prints and shoe impressions and the fax machine going off… and on and on.

THURSDAY…
--- Sleep until about 11:30. Some TV follows. Night shift is quieter than yesterday.

FRIDAY…
--- Physio and a few groceries. Taking it easy around the house beyond that.

SATURDAY…
--- Three laps of the pond today. And some TV.

SUNDAY…
--- Walk to the grocery store and back again… bit of a shoulder test with the full bag and it’s alright.
--- Watch the Blue Jay game with Alomar’s number retirement. Good time… full house at the dome, a win, and a fine tribute to the best second baseman of all time.
--- An evening walk of the pond. Two laps today… but coupled with the 45 minutes to walk to the grocery store, get the food, and walk back… it’s an active Sunday.
