Of course we all do.
Lack of proper sleep has been
known to cause entirely too many ailments!
Huh?
What about ailments causing
lack of quality sleep, or the medication for said maladies causing insomnia?
Vicious cycles… around,
around we go, where we stop nobody knows…
Merry-go-rounds… in this case
are not very MERRY, at all!
Try to remember a time in
September, wait its October…when I felt better and was sassy lass, no mellow
fellow here, except Hubby of course; sorry at a loss here!
Just when I think that I am taking
two steps forward,
I seem to take twice as many
backwards.
I know this is life and none
of us were sold a bill of goods that it was going to be easy!
Rough patches are why we need
to go on…if for no other reason than to get to the other side of it all to see
how it all turns out, right?
Sure, that’s the reason! If
only!
Enough about me, although to
be honest I am only halfway through my medication, it is a six day supply and it
may turn out to be nothing more than like spitting into the wind to put out a
fire, huh? I still might need an alternative medication or more of the same…
Told you that steroids can
make you think weird, but this isn’t as strong as my IV ones; what gives?
Any-who…
Oh that’s right, I said I was
moving on, away from me and my soap opera life of the, “stomach turns”…Thanks
Carol Burnett, but mine is real and in real time…WHAT?!
Number one son called a few
times this week to talk to his Dad, my Hubby; they were brain storming on how
to proceed with the repair of lift’s pilings.
Hubby, who initially put the
components together way back in July of 2003 with the aide of a couple of old
timers, so old that one has passed away and the other could have too, but we
lost contact due to his wife having dementia and me being not up to par either,
he was over eighty ten years ago, so who knows really...
Although, we used to bump
into him on occasion when out, but not recently, a bit sad.
Now, really moving on…
Anyway, Hubby seems to think
that instead of the individual large heavy wooden pilings that have to go in nine
to ten feet according to half of their length, and are extremely heavy to maneuver
and end up getting wood borers, but this time he would rap them if he has to go
that way again, but *instead
he could use a grouping of three four inch ones of PVC put together in a
triangle using either carriage bolts or threaded rods through the PVC, they
would be twenty footers in length then insert rebar down the middle and pour
the cement into them with them eight to ten feet under the sand, but much easier
to maneuver, not that dissimilar to the ones holding up the dock, which
are singular four inch ones, all this time, and the dock is a 28’X 24’ wooden
structure, and it has been in existence since after Hurricane Charley in 2004
when our old dock had been destroyed; this is still standing strong and sound
to this day!
*Number one son will be coming down Monday with a sludge pump and a
pool pump to help Hubby in the installation; they are quite helpful in displacing the
water and sand during installation with whichever way they decide to go, wood 8”circumference
pilings 18 feet long or three triangular stuck together 4’’circumference PVC twenty feet
long.
Between those and the winches,
Hubby thinks that it will work like it did last time to get the poles inserted appropriately.
Calling any structural engineers out there,
for a thought on the PVC triangle concept, with any input that could be
beneficial?
On that note of any ideas out
there, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night
and kindly ask you to count all your blessings and share all your overages with
you know who, and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
