Here's a pic of our church more than ten years ago, taken in March of 2009:

This morning, I need to finish the last 12K words in Blackout Rogue then submit to JS for conveyance to the author. She and I had a FB Messenger discussion about the novel last night.

Later, when it warms to a bearable 40+°F, I'll go to Bobo's and clean her geothermal filter and visit a bit.

Here's a picture of my wife, Susan Brummett Miller, and my mother-in-law, Barbara Wesley Brummett, taken in August of 2017:

Rough week. Friday, Pam and I did a written reprimand and PIP on KS. She was defensive and offensive in the interview. I'm not the man JS was, because I've not been doing the dishes. So I did pots and pans Friday.

Anyway, I hate this kind of work stress. The personal/personnel kind. I can handle work-load/paperwork stress much easier. S was concerned about me last night because I put the dogs to bed at 7:40 and was in bed reading at 8pm. She gave me my testosterone shot about 8:30 pm and asked while we were reading if I was okay. I explained yes, just tired from work-stress, all the proofreading load recently, and recovering from the UTI.

I'm 28% into my current Variant Publications proofreading job, which is around 193K words total. Today, I will also work more on Tracie Sharpe's dissertation proposal.

Reprimanded K today. P and I met with her. As predicted, she didn't react well. Played the victim.

Proofed 18,150 words in current job for Variant Publications. Only had five TR clients. Did a wee bit of work on TS's dissertation proposal. Skipped Angela Estienne's job. Will catch up on it tomorrow morning. Won't take two shakes.

If I feel as much improved Wednesday compared to today as I did today compared to Friday, I'll be mostly recovered from this UTI. It has really gut-punched me. I sure am glad I went to urgent care last Friday or by today I'd have been in rough shape indeed.

P let me off at 1:00 pm, after notes were done and TR clients had gone home. I texted her "thanks" while ago. I think she knows I'm a good worker and not milking the situation. She knows I chose to come to work today even though I didn't feel well.

I took a two-hour nap from about 2-4 pm, and have been proofreading since then. I just finished a 5K-word sprint and am getting ready to start another. Proofreading is currently 60% finished.

Mom texted while ago. They've visited the Yosemite National Park. Here's a screenshot about Morris Coffey's death she sent a few days ago:

It's been a rough twenty-four hours. I've got a UTI which, fortunately, I was able to get treated after work yesterday by going to the urgent care clinic in Columbia, and then to CertaCare pharmacy for cippro, flomax, and something for urination discomfort.

Today, I bought us a top-notch mattress at Williams' furniture. It's a king-sized BeautyRest Silver, extra-firm. I took a nap on it this afternoon after proofreading 15,219 words in The EMP Project, my first work garnered via JS by way of Variant Publications, a company she's found work through.

Okay day at work. No noteworthy drama. K and D don't like each other, still. I've got a touch of burning sensation when I urinate. I've been eating cranberries and drinking some cherry juice.

My shoulders, neck and back are hurting really badly, like they did 2-3 weeks ago. I've taken four Ibuprofen and had a fair amount of whiskey. It's easing, some. But, I'm going over my calorie allotment for the third day in a row. No help for it. It was 38 °F by the time I came through Columbia after work.

It's gonna be cold all weekend, I think, so I'll have to work-out on the exercise bike, probably.

I've been doing some light reading on Docker containerization this evening. We finished Money Heist (what's available currently) last night, and tonight we've just watched one-offs.

S is also having significant shoulder, neck, and back pain, so perhaps it is the weather causing it.

I've been installing a few apps on my laptop via Chocolatety. I have the space: I removed about 3 GB of games from my hard drive (still available on a backup drive).
