Well just one of those days where I got off work and didn't feel like doing much. It's not like we had a heavy work load schedule today. The day started out fine and I even took a selfie something I don't do often. What put me in this mood? Well boss thought it would be a grand idea to change all the ceiling lighting in our building. On a Friday of all days and 4 other co-workers were not there today for a various reasons.
A few days ago we picked up some cases of four feet LED bulbs from the local hardware store. I am the purchase card holder for my building. A few weeks ago I ordered 45 cases containing 16 bulbs per case for around $3000. How many bulbs? I tell you the truth I don't want to do the math, it's just a lot. A lot of going up and down a latter and raising my arms over my head. It's now super bright everywhere and everything looks different. I got the overwhelming feeling of dislike. I'm sure after a few days I will adjust to it.
Also on my mind is my son. Wenesday he was playing basketball in a high school Varsity league. Towards the end of the game he came down on someone's foot causing him to tweak his knees. He did the same thing two months ago and was sidelined for about 6 weeks.According to his trainer he just had a sprain. He needs to get it checked out but refuses. He comes to think it's just another sprain but I want assurance from a doctor. I just don't want him doing things on it if it could be making it worse. So Monday he will go see his doctor which hopefully leads to an immediate referral to get a MRI or at least information that everything is ok.
There is one thing that is currently annoying me. There is some upvoting issues on another platform I write at. Horrible timing because I have just put out a writing challenge there. Well I hope it gets fixed soon because articles are piling up there.
On the drive home from work I witnessed a car fire. I seen it from the distance and it took a good five minutes to come up on it because traffic became congested.My original thought was it going to explode, I believe that only happens in the movies. Still though going by it at 15 mph didn't feel comfortable. The car owner was a good 100 yards foward of his car sitting in the grass with his hands on his head looking down. I will say that putting up light bulbs all day didn't seem so bad now.
The rest of the drive to my final destination was smooth riding. Initially I thought of driving home but I felt I needed to vent somewhere else for whatever reason. Today it's not too hot nor cold a perfect 75 degrees Fahrenheit. So I decided to go to a lake close by.
My destination is a place called Boy Scout Island. A lot of people come here to fish on the dock or on the shoreline. While others either sit in there car or just pop open a chair to relax. Well for myself it might be surprise I'm not here to fish. Heck my gear is ready in the garage for another day. I came hear to relax, take some pictures, listen to some tunes, take a breath of fresh air, and of course to write.
I enjoy coming here and just looking around. The trees here are of good size. I put most of them to be over 100 years old. This little spot has been here a long time. You see I'm a member of a Fish and Game Club at this lake. I hear the "Old Timers" talk about fishing there when they were kids. These guys are between 80-90 years old. I hope I didn't offend anybody. Also there are pictures in the club house upstairs that date back over 100 years.
Every so often I look out onto the lake. It was getting close to that time to head home and than I see this group of geese swimming. They just look like they are at peace. I left the lake and stopped to pick up something to eat to bring home.
Coming here and leaving here I feel completely different. It was good I chose to come here. The environment put me at ease and kind of healed me of my foul mood I was in. Take care, be safe and have a great weekend.
