Matt-Man in the Meat Grinder

Hail and well met

WOW WTF!!!

It has been quite a ride since I last posted. I have been working at the Post Office almost every day since. Now I am not complaining cause I am guessing that after next Monday it will be down to the one day a week I am supposed to run the route. It is just that to go from no work to everyday up at 5:30 to be at work at 7 and going nonstop till 3:30, 4:30 and even as late as 5:30 is a bit of a shock to the system. I am still not entirely caught up on life.

I did go to see Terri for Thanksgiving and that rocked, although it was a trial. I was going to head up on Wednesday after work and figured it would be a normal day like it had been. Nope they decided to give me 90% of the route and had me run it off the normal carrier time sheet. I believe that it means that I only get the evaluated time that the route should take, not the actual hours I worked. Now I am not compalining cause it is a good pay for the time put in, I just don't think they will like that I was there from 7 till 5:30 and took almost 5 hours on the route proper. It was quite stressful as I was trying to get done so I could leave and see Terri.

I finally got up to her place at around 8ish and we went out and had dinner. We came back and crashed until the next day. Cut and prepared some pumpkins to make pies with, hung out and then went to her parents for dinner. It was a good meal and it was good to be with her and her family. It was a good Thanksgiving, one of the best I have had for a number of years.

Mostly cause I had more then just my health and friends to be thankful for. Not that they are not good things to be thankful for but after awhile it seems hollow. Well this year I added two things. One of course is my beautiful sexy lady Terri and the other is my job.

I could never have expected to find someone so smart, fun, strong, understanding, patient and beautiful who so totally love me for who I am. I am the luckiest man on this planet and I don't exaggerate. Not to say you all haven't found your luck in your partners but this is me we are talking about. You know the man that could need only roll a 2 or better on a D20 and manage every time to roll a 1. But all that has changed now and I am thankful for having her in my life. I cannot thank the Man upstairs for sending her my way. I guess waiting 36 years paid off in spades (I still don't quite know where that comes from or what it means exactly).

My job is...Well my job. It is a paycheck and should allow me to do some things I have been waiting to do that have not been possible whilst broke.

So here I sit. Tired both physically and mentally but at the same time I feel quite content and happy. I know that in time all things are possible, well that and the Force being with me.

Ok well I am quite tired and I don' t want to start rambling aimlessly.

voices scream off screen "TOO LATE!"

Ha very funny. Eat me!

So on that note I am out of here.

May the Force be with you

Excelsior!!!
