Things on Tuesday

A different kind of list today as the day is coming to an end and I really should be doing something else besides playing around on the computer.

♥A temp job for five days has turned into a temp job for six or seven days and possibly even another two or three days  after that.
*I keep choking.  This is not good.  I choke about once a week, my swallow muscles don't do their job and that leaves food trying to go down my trachea instead of down the esophagus.  It is very very disconcerting and luckily it has either been a real mild choke that I can cough myself through---but then there are the times that it is much worse and Chris comes running trying to help me stay calm as I cough, drool and try to breathe.  Tonight, he attempted the Heimlich.  He did not do it right....but it helped clear the passage ways. 
*Along the choking lines---Sometimes I have trouble swallowing my pills in the morning.  I take a sip, toss in a pill and swallow---or I stand there trying to make my muscles remember how to swallow.  Sometimes it feels like 30 seconds go by while I am trying to relax and let my throat muscles to their job.
♥Jordan is loving band camp.  Even the 9-9 days with heat indexes in the triple digits.  He is carrying himself different.  He's getting a good looking tan on his face and arms, even his legs are getting color...he likes his 'farmers tan' and even called his feet 'hobbit' feet tonight as there is such a difference between the tanned leg versus the scary white sock and shoe area.
*There is a kitty that is hanging out by the office.  S/he was dropped off Friday evening and has spent the early mornings trying to sneak into the office as the agents come and go.  The kitty has access to water (because someone in the office is filling a bowl with it) but no food.  Some of the agents are giving kitty some cookie crumbs and such, but that is not a proper diet for a teen-aged kitty. 
♥I have the awesome opportunity to be a 'test reader' on a book my old boss is writing.  Unfortunately I have not been able to keep up with him and am only on chapter 4 while he has sent out 13 chapters.  Must.get.caught.up.
*Hoping I will qualify for the newest unemployment emergency plan.

Lots of good stuff, minus the choking problem , on your list. Glad Jordan is liking Band camp.  I imagine he has made some friends too for when he goes into high school.  it's nice to have someone you already know when everyone else seems to already know where they are headed....It sounds as if this temp job is going somewhere, at least for a bit of extra cash which has got to be great during the back to school season!

I choke about once a week, my swallow muscles don't do their job and
that leaves food trying to go down my trachea instead of down the
esophagus.

That sounds quite scary!  Have you consulted a doctor about it?  Once in a while I suppose wouldn't be a worry but if it's once a week, well...

Oh -  I get that choking problem when I'm having dinner with associates of my manservant!  In my case it is nerves because I worry that I won't be able to think of anything intelligent to say!
