Trying to keep up...
It's Hump Day! I'm sitting at work this morning with a few minutes to breathe and figure out what my day will be like. What better way than to type it out, right? This afternoon I am getting new toilets installed. Are you enthralled yet? Is this a really exciting read?? Yes, that says toiletS, as in more than one. You have to understand me a little before I go further. I am somewhat environmentally conscious. I care about what I throw out and gets recycled, I prefer to conserve water where possible. It may not seem like a lot to most (myself included) but I feel if I do even some of my part it will help a great deal going forward. Well, we have been down a toilet in my house for awhile. Been needing a new one. Finally found a way to fund the project. Well, they have new "Dual Flush" toilets. Basically, if you #1, you don't need to flush with as much water as if you do #2. The toilet has separate buttons for this now. I got excited and bought one. They also sell attachments for existing toilets to make them "Dual Flush". It's EASY TO INSTALL. That is, unless you're stupid like me. I broke my working toilet. Not so bad that I can't use it, but flushing it is not so easy. So, I went and bought a second one. Thankfully there are only 2 toilets in my house, otherwise this could cost a fortune! Worst part is, the plumber to install them cost more than the toilets. Ah well, such is life. Helping to keep the economy strong! So, I get to work from home this afternoon, so I can be there when they arrive.
There are 47 days remaining until my trip to New York. While I am looking forward to my trip, I stop to wonder if I am giving myself enough time to do/see everything without feeling rushed. Then I wonder if I gave myself too much time to do/see everything. I do know that the Monday night I will be in my hotel room watching WWE Monday Night Raw. It's their 1,000th episode, and I do not want to miss any of it. I could record it at home, but I would rather watch it live.
Been playing poker a little more lately. Play at the Elks Lodge almost regularly on Thursday nights. It's a $25 game, so it's not expensive. The game is a lot better than you would think for a non-casino event with a low cost. Everyone deals their own, no big deal. Did play at Cherokee last Saturday and chopped 4 ways. That paid for most of my toilets. Always the way right? At least this time the money was not used on medical procedures. Crap, hopefully didn't jinx myself.
Two Naturals games on tap for this month. This Saturday for an Eric Hosmer bobblehead, then on the 23rd for Skippy night. The San Diego Chicken will be there. Not sure if I am going to that one yet or not. Will definitely send my wife and son. I have to see. Hard for me to tolerate most of my co-workers outside this place (hard AT the office too!). May just get tickets on my own so I can sit away from them.
Other than that, everything is fairly normal. Will try to post more regularly so everyone knows what's going on. TTFN!
