Another day in the life...

Nothing going on. Finally, FINALLY getting over the flu and bronchitis. Whatever was in my chest is finally breaking up and coming out. Right on time too. I'm dealing at the Poker Tournament Fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Club on Saturday. Good timing too, because I need the money. Otherwise it will be ALOT of pasta for dinner over the next few weeks. Made reservations for March to take Ann to Downstream for our anniversary. Can't get it on our actual anniversary, so doing the weekend before. Can't do the weekend after because that's Easter, and that would just be tacky. Besides, I'm on vacation the week BEFORE Easter, so it makes life easier. Other than that, nothing going on. Hockey is back, which I am happy about.

Turned the page...

Finally starting to feel "better" after the flu hit me a couple of weeks back. Still losing weight (15 lbs in 2 weeks, what a diet!). Starting to eat more, but it sits in my stomach pretty bad. Thankfully haven't gotten sick yet today, but there are still a few hours left. Sleeping has been great the past few days, aside from the stupid dreams/nightmares which I barely remember. All I recall is I am constantly lost in my dreams. When I wake up, though, I'm rather refreshed. Just a bit lightheaded is all. Other than that, everything is normal. Revving up for ice cream season, which means in about a week or so I'm going to be bombarded with work. I like that though. Going to be challenging as we have much going on, but I can handle it. Just hope the warehouses can.

Great start to 2013

Don't get sick! I had a bad cough last week and went to the doctor. He diagnosed me with bronchitis and a sinus infection and gave me meds. Said I should start feeling better over the weekend. Now I have a 102.4 degree fever and ache everywhere. I can't sleep for any period of time because I wake up choking to the point I can't breathe. Ann just went out to get me some Motrin. Hopefully this will help with the fever.

End of 2012

We have finally reached the end of 2012. They say that everyone has an opportunity to "reset" themselves and start fresh in 2013. I don't see that as much of an option. No matter how much I change or how much "nicer" I try to be, I still don't like most people, I do not call anyone a friend. So, 2013 will be pretty much the same as 2012.

Way too much...

There is just WAY too fucking much craziness in the world. Last Friday, Dec 14th, at an elementary school in Newtown CT, 26 people were needlessly killed by a gunman. Six of those killed worked as teachers or the principal. The other 20 were kindergarten students. Since then, there have been at least 2 arrests made by others who thought of or planned to do the same thing where they live. It's just fucking sick! My heart goes out to those who lost their loved ones that day. It is a tragedy that should never have happened.

12-12-12 and beyond...

They say today is a "magical" day. If I heard the news reports correctly, about 7,500 couples will be married today. Why? If you are basing your marriage off of a date instead of the real reasons you should get married, you're fucked up! The next one is the end of the Mayan calendar, which is on 12-21-2012. People say the world will end on that date. My world has ended EVERY YEAR on 12-21. This is the day my daughter was born, 16 years ago! And on 12-23 of every year I relive the pain I felt when she died. I couldn't get there fast enough to save her. So you know what? Let the fucking world end on 12-21-2012. It's not like I have much left in me to live for anyway.

Another hump day...

All dressed up and nowhere...wait, that's not right! Life is like a box of...oh hell, that's not it either! Why oh why was I blessed with such talent and good looks?!? THAT'S IT!! I am at work and luckily for me it is fairly quiet. I lost a category so now it's just me and the ice cream. Being out of season, I do not currently have much on my plate. I have, however, been working on the training manual. Hopefully will have this completed by the early part of 2013 and rolled out to everyone on the team. Then we can use it for new hires. I also have many OPL's (One Point Lessons) which are very handy tools to have. Eventually have to go through those as well to update where necessary. Next week begins the last month of the year. I am actually (kinda) excited about it. I have 3 full weeks of work, then 1 full week off, then 1 day of work, then 1 day off, then 3 days of work. The difference this time is that, unlike Thanksgiving, I will NOT be working on my time off. It's MY time! If anything gets screwed up, let someone else fix it. My ass will be on the couch playing X-Box with my son, playing poker (if I can find a way to afford it) and watching many movies on Netflix. Now THAT'S what I call a vacation. One definite plan is to watch "The Stand", a 6-hour movie based off of Stephen King's novel of the same name. Hell, I may do that this weekend! Other than that, I am just way fed up about almost everything. It's normal for me this time of year. Did you know Danielle Nicole would have turned 16 this year? I knew. I never forget. Sucks to be me huh?
