The sun is shining and I got a walk in the park at lunch. I also bought a full-spectrum light lamp for my desk. It does make things easier to read. I also got a good night’s sleep. I purchased a memory foam pillow (a good one, not one of those fluffy ones from a dept store) and that is helping with my morning stiffness. But, between the new pillow, down comforter and snuggly husband, I don’t want to leave the bed in the mornings. The weather the rest of the week sucks but today helped my mood so much.

After yesterday morning’s commute, my mood did not improve much over the course of the day. I’m really considering a “daylight” lamp. They are expensive but since I’m not sure we are going to see much sunshine for a while, it my help my mood. I am finding myself grumpy a lot of the time and traffic really getting to me. The endless cloudy days are tiring. We’ve gotten just under another 3 inches of rain in the last 24 hours.
Any suggestions on a lamp you like?

DH checked my temperature yesterday when I mentioned I wanted to go shopping. Once I finally got to the store today, UGH! I have a terrible time finding stuff that fits. I wanted an outfit for several Christmas parties was have coming up. I wanted something colorful and fun. I guess holiday hours don’t apply to a lot of stores as most weren’t open. They few that were really didn’t have anything for parties unless you went more formal. The few things I did find to try on didn’t fit. I hate shopping.

It’s silly the little things that can make you happy. I think I’ve mentioned I drive a Dodge D350 Dually every day. I like my truck but being an old Dodge (or just an old truck for that matter), storage space is limited. I am further limited in what aftermarket console I can use because I’m so short and need the seat all the way up. That leaves little room between the gear shift and the back of the seat when in 4th or reverse. Since inheriting this truck, I have been looking for a Rifle-It shelf. It is a shelf that installs by removing the visors, screwing the shelf mounts into the visor holes and screwing the visors into the shelf. Pens and other clutter that you need in a truck can go up there. It is designed for a rifle but I want it for “clutter” — pens, sunglasses, HAM radio, etc. I have Googled every three to four months for the last 2 years without luck. Then I happened to Google is again the other day and low and behold, A-Z Trucks said they had one. I ordered on a Sunday evening holding my breath. On Monday they called and got my voicemail. I hesitantly called back figuring my order couldn’t be filled. I had forgotten to pick a color but gray was all that was available, was that OK? OK? You can get one to me? Yes, they said. It would be shipped from the manufacturer and take up to three weeks. Yipee!!
Tomorrow will be two weeks since the order was sent to the manufacturer. I’m still holding my breath but I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I feel this will change a lot driving this truck daily. I hate things on the dash and that is the only place this truck has for anything. I have a mileage book and sunglasses up there that slide off if I take a turn that is not angled right.
It’s sad. Something silly like a shelf for my truck can make me so happy.

Thanks to new gadgets and software at work, I’ve spent the last 3 days in geekdom. I’m coming up for air only for a few minutes. Then I must immerse myself in Google for a research project.
Yesterday was my birthday and I had intended on writing something profound. I guess since it came and went with much work and little fanfare, the profound was lost. Maybe in a couple of years when I hit a big one something profound will find its way to the surface. DH did get me a new shotgun. I’m so excited. I have plans for it. I may keep a diary of sorts here on my progress. I imagine much of the little cash I have will be spent at MidwayUSA and Brownells over the next couple of months.
Cricket and Bugaboo gave me a WillowTree statue. It’s sweet. I wish I had room for it here in my office at work. But right now, my desk is so buried in projects, it’s hard to see my plants.

Okay, my tendonitis in my shoulder is still bothering me a little. Now, I turned my knee yesterday in the mud. I did not realize I did any damage until this morning. I’m okay walking straight but if I try to turn it the slightest, oy! Stairs are not doable at all. I hate the elevator at work. In the first six months I worked here, it got stuck (luckily without me in it) 3 times. Now, that does not sound like much until you realize it’s only used 5 to 8 times a day.
I’m approaching 40, I haven’t hit it yet. But my joints aren’t cooperating with me like I’d like.

Sometimes I am quite forgetful. This has been increasing as I age. It worries me some because I am still under 40. Today I forgot my camera. So, no pictures of the wildlife we had visits from yesterday or the CMP match the other weekend.
I wish the media would forget about MJ’s death. I’m so sick of hearing about it.

My shoulder had been bothering me for a little while. I have only mildly been babying it because it hasn’t really hurt that bad. But, it started bothering me worse so I schleped myself to the doctor this morning and I have tendonitis. Now, it hurts like hell. He decided to determine my range of motion to figure out if I had injured my rotator cuff. He doesn’t think I have since I haven’t really done anything to injury it. But, between pruning stuff and shooting and driving almost exclusively with my left hand since the dually is a stick shift, I’ve irritated it. Drugs and ice were prescribed. At least the USPSA match that is usually the first weekend of the month has been moved since it’s a holiday. I can baby my shoulder a little.
