Okay, so I am still up...

LOL. After that long nap, I am not surprised. Got online, got
distracted....and so on. About to turn in, but I thought I'd send just one
more message to start this new day out right.

Ciao.

Yawn! Slept in....at night! LOL.

Had a rather long nap this evening. Started out as just trying to keep my feet warm. I seem to be cursed with weird temperatures in my bedroom, no matter where that bedroom is! LOL.

Great day, though a bit lazy. I did work very diligently today, though I could do better, as always. Took it easy this evening, and now I suppose I should be getting ready for bed. Not sleepy, of course, but we are selling off our old stuff tomorrow, so gotta be up and at 'em for that.

Enough for now,
Ciao.

Okay, so I forgot to post yesterday...

I am still gettting back into the habit. Blogging is an acquired habit, like any other. =D

Well, saw the doc, but still not many answers. He sent me for a battery of tests, the results of which will not be available for a while. All I can do is wait...some more!

Well, first post for this morning. I need a snack, so...
Ciao.

Day Finally Ends!

Well, the day is finally over. Thank you, Lord, for time to rest! LOL.

Managed to get a doctor's appointment moved up from next week to tomorrow. My back and legs have been bugging me for weeks. Took that long to see a specialist. Grr. Well, here's hoping all I need is some meds and the proper exercises.

I can't wait to see Gene tomorrow. I have such fun listening to his stories. He gets a kick out of having something to do besides hang around the Veteran's Home and play bingo. We have become close friends.
Ciao.

Sigh...boring day.

This day is dragging a big. It is only one, and I feel like I should be signing off the computer already. Typical Wednesday, I guess.

Well, I am not much for going on and on unless I have something substantial to say, so:
Ciao.


Well, I am back! LOL.

I have returned, for the first time in over a year. 2007 is fast approaching.

I have moved to a new home with my family. It is very pretty, and much larger than our old house. Get this though: my new bedroom is smaller! Still wondering how that happened.

Well, I am working, so this first entry will have to be short. Catch everyone later,
Ciao.

Another late night....

I will be turning in soon. Today was a comedy of errors, so to speak. I got up late, and one thing after another delayed my return to help my friend. I finally got there after one, and we put up a bulletin board and a few other decorations. Some boxes got put away, but she has tons more to fit in her room.

My friend gave me a card to get gas with, and I headed home, after a quick detour to return my brother's textbooks to the college store. I have been home all day, and slept a lot.

Time for bed now, so catch you tomorrow,

Ciao.

Another day....

Spent another day with my friend. Her classroom needs a bunch of work. =) I actually went later than I planned because I could not get ahold of her via phone. I finally just went. She had left her cell at her house. LOL.

After some cleaning and rearranging, I accompanied her to a local school supply specialty shop to pick out something for her bulletin boards. We found a cute stage-theme and she dropped me off at my vehicle. Then, I went to visit a friend at a nursing home nearby.

I chatted with my friend for about an hour, and was so hungry I was nodding off. He invited me to stay for dinner, but the person at the front desk claimed not to have a key for meal tickets. Whatever. Came home, spent the evening on the computer.

Have heard nothing yet about the job interview.

Catch you tomorrow,
Ciao.

Here again!

Busy weekend. Lots happened, including my brother regrouting the bathrooms.....an on-going process.

I am back to job hunting again. Showed up at my favorite camera store when it opened this morning to apply for positions in three areas. Then, off to visit with a friend while trading calls on another job. Afterwards, I stopped by the other job place. Turns out, they needed some clarification of my background, so I sent them a detailed resume when I got home.

Now I am surfing the web, chatting, playing games, etc. I have a few ads I can send resumes or call about, so tomorrow I will have something to do.

Chat at you later,
Ciao.

Worn out already....

....and I have a full evening planned! A gentleman nicknamed "Geo" has been circling our state via bicycle to raise money for the local children's hospital. He came in this morning, so I met several riders who accompanied him on the last leg of his journey. We went 6 miles in ever-increasing heat, and the last quarter-mile or so we were preceeded by a cart with a camera crew and the street was lined with cheering patients, staff, and parents. Very cool. The other riders and I peeled off-camera as Geo was interviewed by the local news.

Turned out, all the other riders had parked near the finish. I had the long--by now super-hot--ride back by myself. I made it to my car by fifteen-til-noon, but I swear I hit every stoplight, stopsign, and intersection between my car and my noon luncheon. Took me 20 minutes for a five minute drive. I was late. Urgh!

My luncheon was fun. I am home now, resting before I join my friends at the water park. Only a few minutes before I have to get ready, so I will add more later,
Ciao.

Nearly the weekend....

Went food shopping today, with it threatening to rain. Never really did. Just spit some. Got everything we needed. My local general store rearranged stuff so much, I never know where I will find it on each trip! lol

Watched a particularly interesting episode of "ER" this morning. Called "The Lost", the staff gets a call that Dr. Kovac has been killed. Carter is so freaked out, he flies back to the Congo to retrieve his friend's body. Between Carter's frantic search are flashbacks to a couple weeks before, when Carter returned to the US and left Kovac behind at a rural clinic. Back and forth it went, Carter getting further and further inland, and time drawing closer in the flashbacks. Toward the end, Kovac was sick with malaria and fleeing with any wounded who could walk or be carried. Carter was led closer to the area that Kovac's id was recovered from. Finally the tension reached a peak with Carter entering a makeshift morgue and the flashback showing Kovac captured, with his fellow prisoners being dragged off and shot one-by-one.

Kovac was the only one left, and he began praying in his native language. The rebels noticed a cross on his id and started asking if he was a priest. The woman who gave him the cross yelled that he was. Kovac was paying zero attention to the yelling, but the some of the rebels ended up praying with him. Carter found him a couple days later, alive but still pretty ill from the malaria. Best tension builder I have seen in a while!

Anyway, enough of my TV prattling. See ya later,
Ciao.
