Did not win Corvette
Well I was hoping to win the Corvette at the reverse lottery last night but I did enjoyt the steak dinner and all you can drink beers. For sweetest day I bought Merry a wrist rocket with deadly and non deadly ammo, just about the biggest candle I ever saw, and a Tigers t-shirt, some flowers, a coffee mug and put it all in a Serilite tote that she can use. She bought me flowers which is more than I deserve.. I will probubly work a double today esp. in light of the fact that I am up next on the mando list.Sweetest Day Link

First Day Back
Mood:  d'oh
Now Playing: Led Zep
Well on my first day back to work I was the Food Service Officer. It was a nice slow way to get back into the groove. I was wondering how Vance was doing. I heard he was still working but today he was not there. The picture of him is with Officer Ganun. That reminds me She wanted to get a tune from Led Zep, Your Time is Gonna Come. I found it. Your Time Is Gonna ComeIt is off Led Zeppelin I 1969.I will give her all the versions. She rocks as well as Vance. It was nice to see Vaive and it was very cool that he was going after a better job even though he had Cindy do his easy work. LOL He knows what I mean. As normal the food service equipment was screwed up and by lunch time no dishwasher and paper products were used. A very expensive contractor came in to fix the problems. I could not even use the can before I left. YUP I'm back to work.


Duhhhhhh!

Vacation is OVER
Mood:  a-ok
The vacation is over. It was great to see Loree. She is so skinny.
The boat ride on the lake and the ribeyes that Mike cooked up were fantastic.
There are many deer up there and it was fun to see them. Watching the X-MenX-Men Theme song was a ton of fun.
It was a great time.

What a new entry?
So much has happened since my last entry I wont even try to list it all here.

I'm on vacation right now. My anniversary was great. Niel, who was the best man at my wedding came by as well as June, Ellis, A friend of June's Ann and Molly and her boyfriend Bill. Also June's friend Mike.

Spent the whole next day layin around and eating. SWEET.

Today? Running to the courthouse for Mike and to the Meridean Mall for my appointment with DOC. Will I need glasses? I need something that's for sure.

Thanks to Merry's comments I feel mucho better. OK keepin the smokes.Not a problem. Thanks to SmokeyJoes, Mason's newest and best and only smoke shop.


Built of sturdy steel and Teflon construction, like its big brother the Supermatic, this machine is sure to provide many years of cigarette production. First place a filter tube on the end of the chute. Then load about a tablespoon of tobacco into the tobacco bay on the face of the machine. Crank the handle and the tobacco is inserted inside the filter tube. This set comes with instructions on use. Makes filtered king size cigarettes only.

The Pheasant is in the fridge thawing. The venison chops are also in there waiting, OHHH so waiting for their teryaki marinade. But wait... mornings oatmeal. Alas! well maybe tomorrow.

The fight was brief and controlled I'm told. I ran like the wind to get there but all were cuffed and ready for transport when I arrived. But poor Mikey. Fucked up his knee. Glad as hell it was'nt me but now he's out of the game and that's one less player that's half way decent. Can a guard get a break here?

I know he hates being laid up but I guess it goes with the territory. Good luck Mikey.

Still can't get Mom to talk to her mommy but they are both as stubborn as MULES.

MP3 players RULE

People fighting across the street at 10 at night frighten me and apparently the pizza driver.

love to all and myself

I'm Back
Mood:  energetic
Now Playing: Onward and upward
To start with I'd like to thank Loree and My mom and Mike about their concern about me because of my last blog entry. These postings are supposed to be a sort of journal so I can reflect on myself to improve myself. An added benefit was other people reading the blog and contacting me or making comments in the comments section to offer support and I appreciate it.

Working 8 days straight after my vacation, not to mention pulling a double and being mandatoried the following day and stopping drinking and smoking and changing my diet was just too much to handle on my own. I am looking forward to not having any of my next days off so I can get my training out of the way and use those days to beef up my overtime as well as working as many doubles as I can. I'm not going to worry about the smoking at this time and concentrate on my diet and which would include avoiding alcohol .I think this will work out much better.

I rented Fantastic Four, March of the Penguins, and 40 Year Old Virgin. Saved copies for myself and a copy of Fantastic Four to Grandma H. Hope she likes it. She wants old movies but she is going to have to be more specific. Fantastic Four was better than I hoped as it got such crappy reviews. Still did not see it all. 40 Year Old Virgin was also funny but had to go to sleep before the end. Sure is handy having the DVD copier so I can watch the shows at my leisure. To bad the companies that make movies do not encourage a more intelligent way of seeing their product. I don't enjoy spending the time, money and effort to copy a movie but if I have to spend money to watch a movie I'm going to at least watch it. One way or the other.

It's been a pretty rough time the last week but I think I was setting my self up for it. I'm looking forward to much better days ahead. This is a kind of dry posting but future additions should be much more entertaining.

Off to work.

The Question
Mood:  down
Now Playing: Give often, and Give today
Who gives a fuck?

Happy
Mood:  sad
Now Playing: Happy and Sad
Paid bills. Drank.... Smoked..... Don't even feel guilty. Well, Yeah I do. A little bit. 4 Days. Not bad.
Bills are paid. Warner does not hate me. At least I don't think so. I tried to piss her off but she was to big about it. Damn I like the people I work with. Sometimes I coulsd just cry. And I am. That feels damn good too. I must be a huge ass.

Still in there
Mood:  rushed
Now Playing: Mr Gardner, also no sex and only breath through your nose.
Worked a double last night. 16 hours in the bubble. Still not smoking, not drinking, eating right. made black bean soup the night before last. I'm in there folks, but have to run to get to work. More later.

Damn I wan't a SMOKE
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: It's always somethin
What a day. 24 hours with no smokes. No booze. The food was OK. Breakfast: one serving of oatmeal with a banana and a glass of carrot juice. Lunch: a pear and a lettuce salad with croutons, carrots, celery, and blue cheese dressing. Dinner was supposed to be potato soup but we need to do some more shopping so we ended up going to the Chinese place by Save-a-Lot. Not as good as the Imperial Garden but a change.


I exchanged Merry's gift, an MP3 player that did not work. The new one works better but is still fucked up. Sometimes when you turn it off you can't turn it back on unless you remove and re-insert the battery. No costumer service today and I'm debating if I should return this this one and just get a different brand.


I went to exchange my vest Mom gave me but there was not much there in my size that I wanted esp. in light of the incredibly small amount of money used. She is a great shopper but it was a close out item so only store credit. At least a gal that worked there said they had new stock coming in soon. Maybe I'll have enough time to go all the way out to the Lansing Mall someday and take advantage of it.


Wild news from Rhonda. She had a breast augmentation. She is getting married in the spring. Why bother, I ask? But she said she has wanted one for a long time. I always thought she was great looking even though she was flat as a board.


Merry's back is still hurtin and with my being on edge from the fucked up MP3 player, horsing around at the Lansing Mall and nicotine withdrawal. We were at odds some of the day . Things should be better tomorrow.


I should get Mom's thank you card from Merry out on Tuesday. No mail today and I forgot to send it last week.
