Roscoe's Quick Notes

I am determined to make the best of this day that I possibly can!

Rather disappointing. That window of time wherein I have both energy and mental acuity needed to “get things done” is sliding closed. And there remains work I wanted to do. Oh, well. Tomorrow, perhaps.

Twenty-five minutes from now there'll be today's episode of Wheel of Fortune to watch. And after that I'll have Thursday Night Football, so I'll be awake for a good little bit and mildly entertained. But that won't really be time productively spent.

Few things relax me as much as listening to the radio call of a baseball game. Tonight's Phillies / Braves game, now moving into the bottom of the 5th inning and still scoreless after a long rain delay, is really easing my mind. Hopefully this will help me find a better night's sleep tonight than last night.

“Not a recession, a real depression.” Listening to an economist discuss our country's economic and financial situation this morning on Steve Bannon's War Room Show, I heard him make the very good case that despite the denials by the White House, we are not merely in an economic recession but we are deep into a very real depression.

Insomnia break now two and a half hours long and shows no sign of abating. If it lasts much longer I'll just fix some coffee and call it an early morning. My first alarm is only two hours away anyway.

A nap right about now sure would be nice.

As days go, this one could certainly have gone worse. The Honor Guard work at St. Gerard's this morning went well. And taking Sylvia out to brunch afterwards went well, too. Especially given the chance meeting with neighbor Fred so I could check on his health situation. Posting pictures that Sylvia took of my KofC activities this weekend has generated positive comments.

And now, nearing bedtime, the sinuses are getting ugly again. And toothache pain is deviling me. Hopefully I'll be able to get a good night's sleep.

So I've got my apron set out to wear tomorrow morning in the serving line for our Council's BBQ plate sale at the Church Festival. And I've got my 4th Degree Uniform set out to wear while doing Honor Guard work at a Respect Life Mass tomorrow evening with Bishop Mike. Yes, tomorrow's going to be busy. Today I'm resting in preparation for that.

Thank God my sinuses from Hell, which were miserable this morning, have now moderated and my breathing is free and easy with no coughing and related distress. Hope those sinuses behave tomorrow.

A pretty good Thursday winds down. I've taken 3 of my six-foot folding tables over to the Church Hall for my KofC Council to use on Saturday at the Church Festival. Sylvia has gone to play Bingo for the evening, and I have Thursday Night Football to watch after Wheel of Fortune.

Today I'm very aware of how this allergy season is affecting me, and I'm limiting my commitments accordingly. There may be some who will be disappointed that I'm not doing more this weekend, but that's their problem.
