Last night when I got done writing  my blog entry I tried to print the page and was disappointed to find my printer was out of ink.  I got up this morning and tried again with the same bad results.  So I tried to fix it by banging the cartridge on the desk in case it still had ink but had just clogged up or something.  It didn't work.  I had to have ink and a working printer to do my work so I went to the store and bought 2 new ink cartridges.  I came home and discovered that I had bought the wrong ones.  My thought from last night echoed through my mind  (IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT WHEN WILL HAVE TIME TO DO IT OVER) ,but I also thought;  IT IS WHAT IT IS.  (another favorite thought of mine) so I just drove back and corrected the mistake. So after I wasted some time I got the ink changed and got on with my work.  So I guess that if you finally do whatever it takes to do it right all you have wasted is a little time and that seems to go with the test.  IT IS WHAT IT IS AND IT TAKE WHATEVER IT TAKES. I was glad that I didn't have  to go out into today's weather again when it got nasty, and glad that Sheila got back for helping me out with rounds before it turned stormy (and cold).  It actually thundered leading up to the smaller and fast moving snow storm.  Sheila said that it was just announcing her return home.  Any way, I worked my way through my Monday.  I got a few tasks completed, didn't harm anyone particurlarly and didn't hurt myself when I did my 38 push ups this morning.  So if I can say the same after I do my 38 before I go to bed it will have been an okay day.  As much as I enjoyed the quiet of today (I only saw my wife, my son, Richard. and Sheila's visiting teacher.)  I missed the chaos and companionship of family from last night.  It was just fun to have had you here even if you did eat up all of the food and most of the candy.  Sheila fixed me a wonderful foil dinner to eat, and I ate 2 granola bars instead of chocolate for my dessert.  Oh, I notice that it is past my bed time.  later
