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......
