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).

Well, a fairly typical Wednesday at work. Busy for Green County, but still preferable to Adair and the incompetence there.

As I foresaw, the pizzas were a relief to C, though she still managed to stress out about the dirty oven and the slow cooking. The pizzas were Wild Mike's frozen pizza.

I found this picture of a 2011 (2012?) Christmas play we put on at the Glens Fork Methodist Church.

I was only in two or three Christmas plays before my patience gave out, but I admire L's creativity and devotion to bring off these productions. She is a better servant than am I.

And I found the following picture in a bunch of pics I culled from my Dropbox account in 2017 or 2018. I don't know how old "Howdy Doody" was in this picture. He died when I was a senior in high school. That would have been 1985:

AE hired me today to proofread a short story approximately fourteen thousand words in length. After a transaction fee, I cleared $47.45. So, about three words per cent earned. She messaged that she has three more after this one that she wants to get done by year's end.

Also, I had a message from my California proofreading friend, J, Monday night. She says she'll soon forward me my first novel-length job from the company she works for. I figure she's passing me the excess she can't handle herself. I'm hoping to in the vicinity of $300 on it.

Here's my nephew by marriage, Sam Brummett, picture taken late October 2019.

Mother called me crying this afternoon and told me that Morris Coffey shot and killed himself this morning.

The clear 2.5" drive enclosure arrived today, and I put the 500GB spare drive in it and plugged it into the back of the T-NAS. I'm currently copying Macrium backups on my laptop, the Hewlett-Packard, and the ThinkCenter M53 to it.

I also found a picture of me with Susan's uncle, Leon Davis. I think it was taken early 2016 or late 2015.

Today, I had eight clients at TR. K was off and C and I handled things. Everything went smoothly. A couple of TC's practicum students spent much of the day with us. I found a family tree schematic I made years ago.

To read the contents of the family tree clearly, you'll have to download the file and zoom in with an image editor.

I typed a letter for P to send to the court. I floated the idea of closing one member due to low attendance. We had hot dogs, baked beans, and onion rings for lunch.

We had supper to celebrate Mamaw's birthday: beef and gravy over biscuits. Very good! Jimmie was confused but pleasant. Ice cream sandwich and coffee afterward.

On the left, a picture of our three dogs, brought to you courtesy of a backup of Susan's iPhone pics.

We're watching Money Heist again tonight. I think we're on episode four of season two. A is cooking H supper. He seems to be doing well on medication. I really like the guy. I hope everything works out for them, long-term.

K has pulled another of her stunts, cried off a second consecutive day of work. I think I'll just pick up some frozen pizzas for TR to eat tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow is our cra-cra day, super-busy with the prescribers there, and staff meeting. That means I'll be out of pocket a lot, and C will be more stressed than usual. This makes frozen pizza seem an even better idea.

This morning I submitted an OTR and talked with CP about her ongoing health crisis and treatment saga. I offered to help her with gas money if/when she must travel to different specialists.

Grant has turned into a fine young man. He's continuing to attend Lindsey Wilson College, is helping Mr. Allen with the LWC band, and is working at Sonic. I'm proud to be his stepfather.

I'm also showing a photograph, on the left, taken about a decade ago when Susan and I were on our honeymoon in Mexico.

This photo shows the 100-person capacity hi-speed ferry that took tourists from our cruise ship to the mainland in order to see the ancient ruins. We ate authentic Mexican cuisine there, and boy was it spicy! We've taken a Florida vacation since then, and last year Susan and I went -- just the two of us -- to the Smoky Mountains for a weekend getaway.

Susan and I ate anniversary supper at Ponzi's. Now we're watching Money Heist on Netflix.
