Christmas greetings!

Where have I been? Working.

Tonight I will finish the kitchen in our upstairs apartment so my stepdaughter, Pamela, can move in. I've been working on this since September when our tenant moved out. I've been working nights and weekends and have used up all my sick days, personal days and vacation days in finishing up.

Last night I ran out of gas at 9:30, which meant not much got done since I got home at 6:00 and had to rest and eat for an hour and a half before I could get started. Did I mention that I'm old and have a brain tumor? Sometimes I remember being young and strong, other times I just wish I were able to sleep.

The results of the blood test mentioned previously were that my testosterone levels were barely normal while my prolactin levels were up a bit to 20 (when in a normal male they are at trace levels). So I have gone back to my previous prescription and now I'm feeling better. But I need to get my body stronger and sleep better.

At my job we've made some changes in my department... Most notably moving us to the Gym. They've left about 20% of the Gym as usable while giving my department the much-needed space we need to work. We are constantly scrambling to keep up, and now some large corporation wants to license our equipment and especially software (that we develop in-house) for their very popular product. That would create explosive growth in our department. I'm the help desk guy and I have visions of creating a help desk for the necessary support from the ground up. This is going to be fun, if I can keep from implodeing.

I'll post my family Christmas photo when I get home. Merry Christmas.
