had no work for awhile now overworked...and getting 40 hours in a week - could get more but the boss said no way.
We have the biggest bass tournament going on up here at Houghton Lake with the N.B.A.A. (National Bass Anglers Association) with a 3 day contest. Had to set up over 400 chairs in the Atrium (large room) for a 1 hour meeting. Lots of furniture moving, etc., trying to get ice machines working and running outside power to give the boaters someplace to plug in the chargers to charger the batteries for trolling motors. The place was PACKED yesterday with boats, trucks, etc. Cheapest one boat I saw was probably 20 grand. Today, tomorrow and Friday they are competing. Friday we also have a billiards (pool) tournament to start. I can't tear down fast enough to get things set up for the next event.
That is good news that the business is picking up. No day off so far in almost 3 weeks which explains why you haven't heard much from me. I get home, put the laptop on my lap and by the time it has powered up, I have fallen asleep with it in my lap.
Got home from the hospital this morning at 4 am and was back at work at 8 am to fold rental chairs to be picked up. Stacked the remaining chairs as they will be bringing in the pool tables today to set up for Friday. Just one thing on top of another with no end in sight.
Got home from work last night and Sherry had had a couple angina attacks (heart pains) but nothing she thought unusual but when she took her blood pressure the machine could not read the pulse...then she took it again and the pulse rate was 166 beats per minute...way too high.
She seems to be doing pretty good at the moment. Just talked with the doctor who seems intelligent (and a non- American - maybe Argentinian?) Had some questions and he answered them rather well. I think Sherry is on the mend but will probably not be release til tomorrow and Casey also has a graduation party tomorrow...whether Sherry will make it or not we are not sure.
Thanks for the prayers everyone - God bless you all.
