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
