Behold, I am alive.

Took a couple of days off from the blog thingy. Actually I had not intended to, it just turned out that way. Sunday morning became rushed and I was going to blog in the afternoon. Once we returned home from church our day became very tense as we were gathering production requests and other info for Krl's deposition. She was upset about having to go through it and I was upset that she had to. Anyway, not a good Sunday afternoon.

Monday morning things were not much better. I left for my work and she left later in the morning for her deposition. Beginning around noon I started calling her to see how she was and how it went and she never picked up. Her biggest fear had been that since she couldn't produce some of the requests, the judge would be upset with her. I had told her we would do what we could do but we couldn't pull rabbits from our hats. Turns out while it was long, repetitious, sneaky, and at times blatantly beyond scope, it is now behind her. The urchin didn't bite her and seemed to be on a deluxe fishing expedition while billing time to his client. The home situation had eased somewhat by the time we got to bed.

My Monday was spent in the office until late in the day, then I made the trek to the company shop. This appears to be one of those weeks in the making. The faxes for can loads this week indicated a slow down in shipments. We were going to be back in the fifteen to sixteen million can range. This allowed us to commit to some longer product runs for our customer. Just when you think things are coming together they get scrambled. We received a heads up call from one of our carriers alerting us to problems with the can manufacturer and the possibility of them canceling loads for Tuesday. This info turned out to be false. When the call did come it actually added almost a million cans to today's move. Things got in a tizzy very quickly as some of our trucks on the longer runs cannot return in time to participate. It would appear that we may have a chinese fire drill with personnel and equipment as we work things out. It would also appear that about half of us in the office are going to change hats and make the metroplex run again today and possibly tonight, it may even be a split day.

I seem to be battling a spring cold. Cough, sinus headache, snot, fever. I feel miserable. Krl has most of the same symptoms.

FATHER, I pray for relief from this cold. I pray for relief from the pressures from the outside. Be with us as we deal with all of it. FATHER we are battling many issues, we ask for YOUR strength, YOUR wisdom and YOUR guidance. I pray for those in need of YOUR healing. I pray for their care and comfort. I pray for those grieving from loss. Fill their void as only YOU can. I pray for those of us with spiritual hurdles. Be with us as we make our way through them. I pray for our spiritual family and our leaders. Be with me LORD.
