The Blog of Michael Lee Mitchell

Well, I just got the news that Paul Harvey has passed away . I've lost so many family members and familiar faces in the past three years—uncles, aunts, TV and radio personalities I grew up with, and my grandmother. His wife passed away last year, and I’m convinced that when a man loses his wife first, he usually doesn’t live much longer. But if a man passes first, the wife often lives on for many years. I’m not sure why the Lord made it that way.

Here is the opening of this year's Oscars in case you missed it. Hugh did a great job. That was about all I watched. Then I had to study more.

This guy is great. He should be U.S. Treasury Secretary. He is on the money. Watch this.

Well tomorrow it's back to school. I have another big test on Wednesday. Only 5 months to go until graduation and hopefully a job.

This year's American Idol is not that interesting this year. And on the weight front. I have lost five pounds over a week and a half. I am happy. Also, wearing one of my suits that I bought last year when I retired, tomorrow. Have a big function and test tomorrow at school.

I know my website other than this blog, has been updated lately. I will try to get around to it either later this month or next month. I have just been very busy study for school and my National Certification Exam. As I will need a job desperately before the end of the year. 

Well, as far as school goes it was a great week. I kicked butt on my tests. However, for the first time in my left I got a stye in my right eye. It hurts and itches like the chickenpox. Praise the Lord he gave me an excellent Ophthalmologist. She had her nurse return my call and had an instruction sheet for a salt water warm compress and a sample of an eye antibiotic ointment. I picked it up the same day. Thanks Dr. Anglin. My eye still itches however, I think the stye is starting to resolve itself my lower eyelid is only 1/4 of its size since the beginning of the week. If I never get one of these again, I will consider it a miracle. This was my first time having one and I did not like the experience.
