Daily Success February 23 – Failed. Pretty simple, that. I let myself down.

Yesterday

Yesterday was a mess from the get-go. The 21st saw me eating much too much and drinking much too much because I was feeling sorry for myself over my right shoulder. That led to an absolutely terrible night’s sleep and an exhausted Barney who simply had no energy to do the things that needed to be done.

Add in to that an extended effort on an email to Sam, a waste of time, IMHO, driving hither, thither, and yon for an MRI for the shoulder and to the Frederick Costco to deal with hearing aid problems, well, nothing that might affect my Camino future got done.

Well, one thing did get done. I notified the folks scheduling Ribadiso that I can’t be available at any time they might want me during the summer. The goal was to give them as much notice as possible. It’s clear to me that March, April, and May are going to be very limited in terms of how much I want to be on airplanes and such like. Later in the summer, maybe.

Today

Today is the first day doing better. The layout is inconvenient as I’ve got Dr. Higgins at 9:30, then Monika this afternoon. Dr. Higgins will set the schedule for the next month as he is the one to decide (heh, heh) whether or not I need surgery, then how soon it will be. Given my symptoms, the first answer is “yes,” the second is “as soon as possible.”

That schedule makes exercise a bit tricky. Two showers? Exercise after Monika? Stink with my medical professionals?

And, of course, Poli-Sci and Spanish. They got skipped yesterday as well. I really let myself down.

The Future

Not a single prediction here, except for having dropped Ribadiso from my summer plans. Beyond that, it’s pretty much beyond my control with Dr. Higgins and Sam having the choices to make. Sam’s ability to change things is going to be cut, probably to zero as it appears that my only recourse at this point is to bring the contracts to an effective halt and, probably, a disastrous end. Too bad, really, but if I’m to get zero, he will get zero as well.
