i should be in bed, but just a quick post, end of the long weekend, had a nice time at my daughters, she had shrimp on the barbe......excellent, had a nice chat, need to go to work tomorrow so i have no idea why i'm still up.....nite all

ESPN.com - NCAA - Syracuse edges Navy for ninth lacrosse title i watched this game this afternoon, just an awesome game, really well played on both side, there is a lot of local interest in this, syracuse is just down the road from here (70miles)m my daughter is and alum of SU, and 2 of the players powell for SU and dingman for navy both went to carthage high school which is about 15 miles away and my sister-in-law teaches there, and i have nieces and a nephew who attend(ed) there.......but even if there wasn't the connection, it's a neat sport and was a great game

was a nice sunny day today, if a bit on the cool side, after church went to my sister's for lunch, not bad but really was not in the mood for company so left early, watched the indy 500, and have spent most of the rest of the day just hanging loose....plan to sleep in tomorrow, have nothing planned until dinner at my daughters,
i just feel worn out....the last 3 months, really 2 years have been a real emotional roller coaster, and i just want to get off, to get back to a more normal life, but at this point no real end is in sight, i need to just get away for a while, although things are looking up,.....

i have spent a quiet evening, i really lost track of time tonight, and have spent it watching a little TV, fooling with the computer, but really have no real feeling of the passage of time, weird really....i settled on pasta for supper (which will make no sense at all unless you've read the earlier post from today....)
i must to bed, i'm tired, not physically so much as mentally...after i get by the necessary post month end jobs that i must do next week i may take some extended time off, i've been taking half days here and there and one full day but nothing extended, i need several days in a row where i can leave the alarm off, and wake when i do....
i think that the person who invented the alarm clock, and also the one who invented deadlines, and being at a certain place at a certain time should have a special place reserved for them in hades.....maybe because of my age or the number of years i worked in a job that is total governed by what time is it....but i need a less structured life....or at least i think i do....but if truth be totaled after a very short time i'd probably complain about that as well.....

(WARNING:grouchy troll on the loose, proceed at your own risk.....remember you have been warned)
today was kind of screwed up, but so far has come out ok...went to work, had a couple of jobs to do to clean up month end, apparently they had received an order to the west coast warehouse late friday after i had left, and it need to be confirmed for month end, we handle all of that from watertown, but when i looked at the order it just didn't look right, so i had to wait for the boss to come in just to make sure, and it wasn't right so we did a quick fix and got it done but i ended up there for longer then i had planned, so what's new, the dang place is like flypaper...
needed to fill two pots that i set either side of the front entry, and was debating a 3rd for a spot in the main bed, but unfortunately awake in one of those moods where i was going to be very hard to please, went to 7 different greenhouse/stores that sell bedding plants and only ended up with enough to fill the 2 smaller pots....and probably will just go with that...got some oddball stuff that i've never really seen before, but still might wait until everything is on sale and throw something together for the 3 pot, or maybe buy a small perennial for the one spot i should fill ( really don't absolutely need to but....), may ended up with some yard nic-nac, unless you count the bird bath i don't have one,.....i wonder if i can find an ugly troll or gargoyle...definitely nothing "cute".......i hat "cute".....scare the heck out of the dang squirrels in the neighborhood....
my problem with plants has extruded to food as well, i'm hungry, should eat but nothing i can think of really sounds good tonight...will probably just eat something and not care what because you just can't please me today.....

it's clearing off finally, it's been a dreary day, but it's improving, it is supposed to be nice tomorrow and through mid day sunday and then rainy and miserable through mid week, i need to go into work tomorrow and clean up month end, and then i think i'll buy a few annuals and finish off the setup of the garden.....
i feel rather down tonight, i'm alone and feeling sorry for myself and i don't like the feeling, it's not like me and i will get over it but sometimes try as i might the pessimist that i would rather not admit to being, gets the better of me......not to worry it never lasts but tonight i feel down....reminds me of the old joke about the duck who bit himself and felt down in the mouth....(rimshot)......i find as i put things down on paper ( so to speak) that it helps let it go.....(/pity party)
anyhow i still haven't decided whether to do 2 pots and buy an anchor bush (anchor as in permanent planting that the rest of the garden hangs on) or three pots and place one where the anchor should go, and have no idea what plant to buy for the pots.....but whim will usually come to my aid and it generally doesn't steer me wrong, i really have no eye for color, but have a great sense of shape and proportion

really a nice day today, first one in almost a week, we've gotten almost 5 inches of rain over the last 4 days prior to today, and the black river has flooded in several sections up to the east, it runs right behind the plant but is no where near coming over the wall, although it has in the past.....but not this time
the morning was hectic and very screwed up, for some reason some of the pagers weren't working....smoothed out this afternoon..
got some groceries after work, made white pizza for dinner, and have spent the evening doing yard work (mowing) and laundry......boy do i know how to live it up.....

hits on your blog are a very funny thing, they seem to go in streaks, not that i've every really had a huge number, and if i was doing it for hits i would have got discouraged and quit long ago, but i still find it quite funny, i have a hit counter that lets me see where a particular hit came from, and sometimes i can figure out how the heck they got from there to me....of course there are sneaky ways to get hits, i could for example blog about a certain hotel in a certain french city and probably get more hits in a couple of days then i have in a year, of course they would be looking for something completely different but hey a hit is a hit.....

there has been a changing of the guard, aggie has claimed the role of alpha cat, even to the point of sleeping on my desk chair, who would of thunk it, normally she's afraid of her own shadow.....
finally a little break in the weather, sun was out a little this afternoon and it isn't as damp....lawn is in desperate need of cutting but i really don't want to cut it until it dries out, or i'm just to dang lazy tonight to do it.....take your pick......and you have the option of all of the above.....
weekend is filling up quick...sunday at my sister's and monday at my daughter's....i'm still free on saturday and i will travel for the right food.....
actually i need one day to finish up the spring yard work, hope saturday is doable.....

this day started out bad, got worse then smoothed out to the point that right now i feel pretty good, not enough sleep and add a very frustrating morning and i was about to order a few body bags and i already had the name tags written up, but the afternoon smoothed out and i feel fine now....very strange rehearsal, one of the vocals who has been away was back, been gone about 3 months and everything was just a bit out of wack.....the two high harmonizers that have been singing sing basically a 2nd soprano/1st alto harmony, which gives me miles underneath in which to play, but this girl tends to sing more in the 2nd alto/tenor range and that really constricts what i can do, and i had to make several adjustments, plus she was understandably a bit rusty, but in the end it turned out ok....think i'll hit the sheets early tonight....bye bye

this is very weird, although my posting page comes up i am unable to get to my blog, very strange, well lets see if this will publish

just a quick post, it's late and i should have bedded down for the night a long time ago but am wide awake, feel really good tonight which is weird because it is not the way the day started out, it rained to beat the band last night, thunder, lightening the whole nine yards and i woke up stiff and sore, whether because of the yard work, the weather or probably both i'm not sure, but was very gimpy this morning, weather was still rotten, but took the afternoon off, really wasn't doing anyone any good at work, and came home, ate lunch, weather improved and started to feel better so just tinkered around the garden.
no i did not listen to the president tonight, no i did not listen to the endless dissection of what he said, i find myself becoming increasingly a-political....i just don't see what good anyone is doing or could do.....i'm seriously considering resigning from the human race.....wait....i've never really considered myself part of it to begin with...

i didn't sleep well last night, which was no surprise, it rained like crazy and i was pretty stiff and sore from the yard work, even a couple of IBs didn't help much, i discovered this morning that i made a big booboo, when i extended the island bed to added the juniper, i reduced the space between that and one of the main beds to the point that i could get the lawnmower between them, oy vey.....so i had two choices, i could re-set the juniper and reduce the bed size or i could just extend the bed and join it into the main bed, which is the choice i took, i added a stepping stone and a small mongo pine and a few more lava rocks and all is well, i'm glad that i decided to you the red mulch this year rather then the black because while the texture of the mulch and stone is different ( now there is a statement of the overly obvious, the color is almost identical so the transition is smooth, saw a couple of plants i'd really like to add but no real place to put them. everything is now done except for the annual pots, and i'm not 100% sure i'm going to do them or if i'll use plantings or seed....

well i was sitting at my computer playing blogshares and trying to convince myself that i really didn't need to go out, get the hose out of winter storage, set it up and water the new plantings. now i knew i needed to do it but was just too tired. well right queue, the sky opens up and we get a nice easy but good rain for about a half an hour, more then enough to fulfill the needs of the new plants.....thank you.....

i am exhausted tonight, a put in an 8 hour day of yard work, i mucked out the flower beds, planted just four new perennials, to fill in holes, mulched the beds and planted some annual seeds, but went you have probably 100+ feet of flower beds it takes a lot of time, i had intended to just do the beds by the sidewalk today and then do the beds around the house next weekend but just got going a did the whole shooting match. i decided to take a much more minimal approach this year, i've been planting a lot of annuals in the beds next to the side walk but decided against it this year, just mulched the spaces between the perennials, and added 3 new ones, a sage and a dwarf arctic willow and one other that i can remember what it is(edit:i checked the tag spirea). also planted one bed with african daisies, sunflowers and gords from seed. added a dwarf japanese juniper to the bed by the bird feeder, had a big hole where something had died, a poppy i think, and surrounded it with red lava rock, i was going to put white sand around it to give it more of an oriental look, but then remembered that there are far too many cats in the neighborhood, may dust a bit of soil in the rocks and see if i can get a sedum to take.
i've used a whole bunch of pots with annuals in them to accent spots in the past but think i'll stick to maybe two pots this year, it was nice but it was a bit cluttered, and i really want to just keep it simple this year. in any case will not buy the plants until next week. in this zone, putting out annuals before memorial day is just to risky...heck we still get frosts sometimes in through the 2nd week of june. but will probably fill the two pots over next weekend.
it was a weird day, it was just a tad cool and overcast all day and tried to rain probably a half dozen times with little success, but a prefect day for the yard work because it wasn't too hot. but got involved with the yard and forgot to eat. never ate my first meal of the day until 3:30 PM. probably will have a snack here in a bit but am too tired to think about it....

it was a nice day today, just warm and really quite nice, fairly easy day at work, decided to just eat at home tonight, really wasn't in the mood to go out so just made some quick pizza with some pre-prepared shells, turned out great was just relaxing, getting into weekend mode, two days off, and got called back in to work.......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!....ok it was only an hour but now i'm in a royal blue funk......

it's been a typical day here, if you don't like the weather wait a bit and it will change, it was an absolutely beautiful day this morning, sunny and about 70*F, then about noon the clouds started rolling in and it got very windy but still quite nice, then about an hour ago we had a thunder storm come rolling through, wasn't bad right around the house but form the fact that the sirens were going pretty well non stop for an hour i would guess that there was some damage else where in town.....
had the afternoon off, which is nice because it was payday and let me run some errands that needed done, and played dome golf...stop at the fruit and veg market on the way home and got some salad fixings and some asparagus, really nice stuff...
played some blogshares tonight and just hung out....cold seems to be getting much better....finally......

a real beautiful spring day, not to hot, just right....stopped and did what little grocery shopping i needed to do....after the excesses of the last week or two all i really needed was some fruit and a few odds and ends...went to choir although the voice is still on the mend, and then had a long chat with a friend.....haven't done that for a while.
i'm tried tonight but only have two more work days this week, plant is closed saturday so i won't have to go in even for a few hours.....i hope.....never seems to work out the way i plan though...nite all

another off day, cool and rainy but not bad, went to rehearsal and it took most of it to get my voice loosened up...just a slow night....nothing shakin'.....

it was a beautiful spring day today, warm,sunny and not very humid...work wasn't too bad, and although my voice was a little rough today (which isn't surprising as i abused it yesterday)....the cold in general is much better...cut the grass tonight and hung out on #blogshares for a good bit......feel pretty good tonight......

i actually has been a very restful sunday for a change, had made a boiled dinner last night, for the sole purpose of reheating today so i didn't have to screw with dinner, got some lovely asparagus, really nice, one of my fav veggies and really enjoyed the meal as much as any in a long time, i've decided that i need to put a little more effort in my meals......took a bit of a ride this afternoon....cold seems to be a little better......heard some things today that put my present situation into a more understandable form......

it's been an interesting day, and it's not half over:
i went to work figuring i'd be out in an hour, but as often happens it didn't turn out that way, they had posted a new production schedule which made a big difference in my order schedule so i ran over to the whse for 5 minutes to check on one of the raw material inventories and discovered i had a major problem. we get plastic resin 1100 lbs. to the box, set on pallets and stacked 3 high. well 3 of the bottom boxes had started to collapse,and i had 3 leaning stacks, fortunately all 3 were leaning to the left and to had rested on the material in the next row, if they had leaned the other way they probably would have fallen, which would have been a real mess, got everything made right but ended up spending about 3 hours at work.....
i filled the car up with gas today, with the gas economy of my car and the fact i really don't drive very many miles per week i only fillup made every 2 1/2 weeks. but i paid $2.09.9 per gallon for gas. what a shock. about 40 years ago when i was in my teens i'd cut grass for money in the summer time, i'd buy gas by the gallon and get change from a quarter....
i took a run down to adams center to go to a fruit stand, get some fresh veggies...which is weird, when i first came to watertown there were probably 5 fruit/veggie stand right in the city, now i've got to drive 15+ miles.....oh for the old days

i have been in one of my can't sleep cycles again, i'm still fighting this dang cold and i think that's part of it, but even if i don't cough i just can't seem to drop off, nothing really nagging at me i just can't get to sleep, i'm sure that the hot, humid weather is part of it but......
i need to go into work tomorrow for at least a couple of hours...would like to skip it but my boss is off so i'm the one who must deal with the daily reports...think i'll just veg the rest of the day

oh i was going to mention the final survivor show earlier, ok so i figured rupert would win the vote for favorite...makes sense, he had lead the most poplular polls for the whole season, but amber as the sexist female survivor of all time.......give me a break...she won't even crack my top 5....no i freely admit to be partial to dark hair and a darker complexion.... but she won't even be the best blond.....heidi was far sexier then amber.....amber is a little too much the girl next door to be truly sexy

it was hot and humid again today and when work was done i didn't feel like cooking but it was just to dang hot for my normal take out retinue. so decide to go to this little greek place, i normally feel i little funny going into a sitdown place alone but did, got a large Greek salad, ice tea and a gyro platter....really hit the spot
rained pretty hard for about 15 minutes which cut the humidity for about 5 seconds after it had stopped and it's right back to hot and humid.....off to take a cold shower.....

it was my firm intention to go to bed early tonight, but i got involved playing blogshares and just looked at the clock and realized that i had just shot 2 hours.....oy vey....

it is hot and humid in watertown today, mid 80's F and very humid....living in an area where cold is the common extreme, hot and humid really does a number on me and the to have the weather in may...
took the afternoon off and played golf, and like an idiot forgot to take a bottle of water with me, so i'm a bit over heated and probably a little dehydrated, although i have made a real effort to re-hydrate since getting home...
i got a new twist on the nigerian scam today in email, i should have saved it but i deleted it without thinking, this one was from Hong Kong( at least that's what it said) and involved the secret funds of a dead general from iraq......(if you haven't heard of this scam check out some of the links here)
i've made a not so amazing discovery, every can that a cat hears being open contains tuna,or some other canned meat that cats like, i opened a can of potatoes tonight only to find my herd of cats at my feet looking for handouts, when i showed them that it was potatoes i though there would be general rioting

a really hot day today, particularly for may....must of been near 80*F.....
i'm finally driving legally.....my registration was due april 25 and i forgot about it and never mailed the form in until the 19th....well here it is the 12th of may and it just got back today...my fault really but 3 and 1/2 weeks to travel the 200 some odd miles to the state capital and back.....oh did i forget the redtape, pencil pushers......bad trollie
still fighting this damn cold.....but haven't gotten much a;eep...Intended to go to bed early last night and didn't....bad trollie

i had intended to call it an early night, i've been up as the old folks would have said..."way past my bedtime".....the last two nights and am tired...so of course i started to fiddle with my template and looked up at the clock and nearly an hour has gone by....don't have it quite right yet but it's not bad and i'm going to leave well enough alone....well probably not knowing me but at least that is my intent....
i really like the new blogger but i have one minor problem with it...if you change the template you have to republish the entire site....and with a year+ with of entries that takes awhile....and if it gets hung on one like it sometimes does it will timeout and you have to start over again....took me 3 tries to get the changes published and one time it timed out at 99% done....nuts......i do hope they get that corrected because the changes they've made are really nice

well just after i posted earlier the driver showed up so i got out basically on time..my rehearsal is cancelled tonight, so i think i'll just hang out...have some yard work to do but nothing that can't wait...cut the grass last night and that is really the only must do job, with the rain we've been getting it's been growing way to fast...

this is getting to be real stale. i'm sitting here waiting for a resin truck to arrive. for the second time in a row the load is way over due. i'm being told that they had a breakdown. and he's due in within the hour. thankfully i don't have anything i need to do right after work but i did have somethings planned to do at home, and i am getting hungry....(/pity party)

i'm having one of those days that i find it hard to concentrate on anything....nothing seems to hold my attention for very long.....i think it's remarkable that you can have literally 100+ channels on the boob tube and there is absolutely nothing on that you want to watch.......on the other hand you can guarantee if there is one thing you want to watch there are probably at less 3 things....must be some corollary to murphy's law and if it isn't it should be
i'm rather pleased with the way the blog redo has turned out, and i think that i probably won't tinker much with it......the old design had got much too busy......like a pack rat it just kept throwing new things in without taking any old things out....

well i think i'm done re-inserting everything i wanted from the old blog. i may need to add a few more links to some friends sites but i think i'll wait on that for another day.....
what started out as a pretty raw day has turned nice this afternoon, and maybe we'll catch some nice weather for a change.....
i must say that i was disappointed with the way survivor turned out, i had thought that with a bunch of 2nd timers playing that the game would have been more interesting.....less predictable...
off to make supper

well i've been a little busy, i decided to change templates, and reduce the amount of links and add ons to the blog, with the comment feature blogger added i've decided to can the tag board, i've still got the code so i can re-insert it at a later date but for the time being...it's outa' here...

it's a miserable wet, rainy day, and i feel just about as bad as the weather...got very little sleep last night and at present i'm just trying to get through the day in one piece....

i can't get to sleep tonight, and i'm confused, i really have nothing pressing, nothing that really is bothering me, something i'm obsessing about, i'm tired and just can fall off to sleep,but i've given up for the time being.....

it's weird, i seem to be able to post to the blog,but i don't seem to be able to get any of the new features to work, can get re-publish to work without errors, either well i won't speculate...will just try again tomorrow

this is an experiment of sorts, there have been upgrades made to blogger and as of now i've been unable to get publish to work......lets hope it's working now

have just hung out today after the brief run into work, had some yard work i needed to do but really a nasty day and with the cold still hanging on i really thought it would be better to stay in...
2 of my three cats really aren't much for table scraps, oh all 3 go nuts if i open a can of tuna or there's raw ground beef about but other then that 2 of them never bother me for anything else, aggie sue on the other hand i swear will eat almost anything....including french fries.......well i as finishing up the seafood i got last night and she's knocking deep fried clams off my plate and eating them......good grief....if i hadn't stopped her she probably would have eaten all of them.....and it's not like at 17 pounds the dang cat isn't getting enough food.....

so i finally got out of work at 6:30, 2 hours late but everything done, the resin truck driver i was waiting for had a worse day then i did, so i guess i got away lucky....apparently somebody was in a bad mood when he went through customs and they put him out of service for a scuffed hose and then had the company that he called to make the repair try to rip him off for parts that weren't used......oh brother.....
by the time i got off i was too tired to think about cooking and too hungry to take the time to cook and so stopped at a place on the way home and got some takeout seafood, deep fried shrimp and clams......a few fries.....some potato salad with egg......hardening of the arteries here i come but what a way to go......i need to go in tomorrow for a bit and am really tired so i think i'll call it an early night.......

oh this is funny, i don't care that's it's friday night and the only thing i've got going is going home to my cats but i'd like to....i'm stilling waiting for an outbound and an inbound truck to show up....both still coming( or so i'm told) but way overdue.....and probably two hours of work after they show up....i'm not pleased......oh and you really don't want to see an unpleased trollie if you can avoid it

ok so i admit a personality flaw, i am hooked on survivor, and although i would much rather see somebody other then the rob/amber duo get to the final two i have to admit that from a pure tactical view they've played almost a flawless game, until tonight...what a bone head move......tom would have voted with them in the 4 automatic..unless the remaining other had won immunity so they only had a 1 in four chance of a two/two vote and a wildcard knockout......but by voting tom off they almost assure a 2/2........i know that rob's arrogant but sheeesssshhhh!!!!!! do the math........
i feel pretty good today, got the half day vac i didn't get yesterday, and that was ok because today was payday......and i went hogwild grocery shopping....i bought a bunch of long term stuff......two week in a row with a shopping cart......
and being home all afternoon took the time to make one of my favorite things.....cooked cabbage......ok so i have the taste buds of a peasant.....i grew up in a community dominated by old style german/polish cooking.....i love cooked cabbage....you should just be glad that this blog isn't wired for smell.......nite all

it's been one of those days, not a bad day, not a horrid day, but just one of those days when every thing seemed to be just a tad out of synch.. nothing blew up or anything, no disasters but nothing seemed to happen just the way it should have, really frustrating...the promise of an easy day that should have been but just wasn't.....

i just have gotten home from work and was greeted at the back door by one of my cats, ok rub head scratch tummy, up stairs another cat, crying the old "i'm starving check my food dish" cry, of course the dish wasn't near half empty but then what do i know, rub . rub on my arm and another head scratched, walk to the front to check the mail and the 3rd cat wakes up just long enough to give me that "who are you" look.......so i get online and the first two haven't left me alone.....i'm going to have to consider day care for them (hehe)

the net is truly amazing, i got an offer to sign up for the new gmail service, through blogger which of course is now part of google....i haven't used the address but once, just forwarded an email from one of my other accounts to the new one just to check the address, and i now have the gmail account as the address for the blog, in case some one emails me from here....with all the crap i get in the other accounts it's sometimes difficult to sort out the one or two i want from all the spam....anyways....after like 3 days for the account i'm already picking up spam in it....good grief......
i felt lousy this morning and called in sick....one of those nights when i was in bed for almost 12 hours but never slept more than an hour or so without waking up....the cold and the arthritis acting in tandem to make for an uncomfortable night. but i'm feeling much better so i think i'm over the hump.
actually felt like actually cooking today....the last few days it's been throw something in the microwave....but had a really nice onion so decided to make some soup.....i love onion soup....well i just love onions........and living alone i really don't care if i have onion breath for awhile, although the cats have been giving me wide berth this evening.........

i woke up this morning and felt pretty good considering......until i was up for about 15 minutes and the cold woke up too, felt just lousy and went to work and the day went down hill from there, i had maybe the worst morning i've ever had, nothing went right...except i was able to get out of there in a half day..........feel better tonight but that's kind of been the pattern with this particular cold.....
have just vegged this afternoon and early evening, i've started to cough alot more, hopefully that's a sign that this cold is breaking up......

CNN - Liberty Bell 7 capsule raised from ocean floor - July 20, 1999 ok,ok, i know it's not exactly a new story but i watched a very interesting show on discovery tonight that showed the recovery operation and intermixed it with old footage about the events that happened all those years ago, i grew up during the period of the earliest space exploration, and it was like reliving old memories....really was very interesting.....

decided to stay in tonight, am feeling a little better but just was too tired to get out, and i'm glad as it's rained most of the evening and my night vision isn't what it used to be and i really do not feel comfortable driving in rain at night....

i got to sleep late last night and then slept, fitfully, and really didn't get much rest, had to stop in to work before church and have really crashed out this afternoon, should go out this evening but i'm thinking about just staying home as i really feel wrung out..spent the afternoon watching the SU lacrosse game on the local sports channel, i never got the chance to play lacrosse as it was not a sport played where i went to HS but i really enjoy watching the games, and SU is one of the better college teams in the country......it's funny really that 2 of the 3 sports i watch most on tv i never played, rugby being the other one......golf i've played....badly but i've played......

it a little weird, i guess i've been spending so much time playing blogshares that my attention has been lax. i really took a look at this blog for the first time in a long time today and realized that there were somethings that i had told myself months ago that i was going to change but didn't. now i'm not about to go nuts and change the whole thing, but it had gotten, well screwed up and i've spent some time putting it back together, i also plan to sit down and start working on my poetry blog at a more regular pace....i've written very little lately......but with what's happening don't expect many limericks.......(oh if your here from the link i left on the blogshares' forum you'll find what your looking for a few entries down)....it's late and i need my beauty sleep.......boy do i need my beauty sleep......

i have no idea what happened, i made one small change to the template and now this thing won't load....trying something

as i sit to write this post i'm being bombarded by the absolutely grotesque canned music of the ice cream truck parked at the corner i live on, i know it's a surer sign of spring than a robin ( by the by the american robin is not a robin at all but a thrush), but it is so bad it makes me cringe.
i felt lousy this morning from my cold, but some how managed to get to work and wasn't feeling any better but when i got home i realized that i either needed to mow the grass today or risk not being able to find the house, although a baling machine may have been an easier choice, got the lawn cut, did some laundry, made lunch and started feeling better, have zoned most of the afternoon but am tired tonight.
i just don't understand what some humans use for brains. the city i live in has really bad winters and the streets can be really rough in the spring time before they get around to fill in the pot holes, i ran an errand this afternoon and while i was out here's this bozo riding one of them mountain bikes down the street, one handed while talking on a cellphone and not paying any attention to where the heck he was going....and if some poor slob driver had the misfortune of this idiot pulling out in front of him he'd probably lose the law suit......
i've decided to take a break from blogshares, i know some will probably misinterpret my motivation because it comes at a point of change in the game, which had nothing to do with the decision to step away....i had decided to play to the end of april and then take a break, i've played the game for just over a year and i get bored with things after awhile, i'm the same way with PC games, i'll play a game constantly for weeks and then get tired and not play it for months.....it was just time to take a break, the timing was well....just the timing......and i probably will return at some point....so beware the mad trollie is still lurking......
