When asked what he meant, he said &#8220;there&#8217;s a highway that goes all the way from California to Florida and you&#8217;re going to be driving on it&#8221;. In a sense, he&#8217;s right. I will be driving about 500 miles today (or half way to California or from Denver to Gallup New Mexico) as I need to deliver some samples to a couple of sales reps in Grand Junction and Glenwood Springs and see a couple of key accounts. It&#8217;s 4:15 now and I&#8217;ll be on the road by 5, in Grand Junction by 9am and hopefully home by 1:30 or so. Ah the joys of being self employed.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight we have the kids school auction which the misses insists we go to to bid on our own stuff to support the school. I suppose she&#8217;s right but I&#8217;d rather stay home, especially today as I imagine I&#8217;ll be pretty tired by tonight.<\/p>\n<p>We managed to keep the misses on the couch for most of the day which helped a bit. We did receive the mri report from the doctor and it appears to say that about 4 or 5 discs are degenerative and compressing. This is all genetics that was sped up or aggravated \u00c2\u00a0by the person at physical therapy a few months ago when this all started. The misses is determined to get better and really doesn&#8217;t want surgery but we&#8217;ll see. Today she has acupuncture again which we hope will help. I feel so bad for her as I know you all do too as I can&#8217;t imagine having a head ache for 2 months!<\/p>\n<p>Well time to hit the shower and load up the car, maybe the misses will write some today as I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d have time to do this and told her she&#8217;d have to opine today. Take care and have a good weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night, the youngest, upon hearing that this morning I&#8217;m driving to Grand Junction and back, commented, &#8220;Dad, you&#8217;re going to be driving on a major highway, one that goes all the way from California to Florida&#8221;.
