Started this gorgeous day at 4:30am. I was up and out the door by 5:15am. Got to work and did a few things on the server and went out for my daily walk. This was a particularly great morning. The air was really crisp, but the fog was so thick, I couldn't see more than like 300ft. When the sun came up, it was amazing. I got some good pictures as I was finishing up. One thing I did notice, was that the sun is coming up later and later every day and it kinda sucks. My back was really bothering me today. I was talking to a friend yesterday and he thought I may have a pinched nerve because my leg is going numb when my back starts hurting. I might try and find a chiropractor and see what they say. If I could go over a mile without all this back pain, I would be sooo happy. I feel great when I'm walking other than the back pain. We had airplanes all over the place today and there were helicopters buzzing around and it was a great day. I was having a serious case of "I want to go flying so bad." today. I'm really itching to be able to fly again. I'm a very plan oriented person. There is something about the whole "checklist" and "procedures" part of aviation. Even something as simple as getting in a Cessna and starting it up, setting the avionics, calling the tower, doing the engine run-up and all that good stuff. It just makes me feel alive doing something that very few people do. I know there are a lot of pilots out there, but it's unique to me. I actually stood next to a Cessna Skycatcher this morning and checked out the interior and moved the controls around a little just to screw around. I would love to play around and fly again. I have so many opportunities at work to go flying here and there and I just can't. There have been a few times Ben has asked me if I wanted to go with him on a test flight or up for a recreational run around the pattern a few times and I just can't go along. Soon though...soon!
Work was kind of slow today...finally! I hate being slow, but it was definitely a good change of pace from what it was like earlier this week. We had a good week though and I have lots of ideas on some improvements at work...just need the time to do it. On the way home tonight, I stopped and got a salad for dinner and went out on Josh's boat to test it out. He finally got the engine running right and now it needs a new prop. It was cavitating pretty bad cuz it's bent up and knicked up. It was a lot of fun. We went to Hobbytown on the way home and checked things out a little bit.
I'm ready to hit the sack. Been a long day...kind of in an emotional rut. Wishing time would go faster I guess...time seems to be standing still lately. Time heals all wounds, so let's get the show on the road. It feels like I'm counting off these pounds like I'm counting down the days before a big vacation. I know I've started a new life, but I don't think I'll really come to life until I'm able to really live my life to it's fullest. I'm spending my time loving and appreciating the love my friends and family show me and how I'm trying to better myself. Maybe it's like a book? Every day is a page turned and every now and then a new chapter starts...there's always that one book that starts off really well and is fun to read and then there's that middle chapter that just seems to drag on and on and you just can't wait to get to the really interesting and meaty part...I dunno, just a thought. I'm off to bed...Goodnight, friends. Love you all. :) Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings tonight. See you on the flip side. :o)
