let see, where'd I leave off? prob'ly Tuesday? why don't I start with what's up right now, and work backwards. I just cracked me a beer, and sat down with the laptop. I click "new entry" on my xanga journal thingey, and try and remember past events...the pooperdog and I just get back from a pooperdog walk, after getting out of work a couple hours early. I had the chance to leave 5 hours early but they only needed 4 to leave, and I was lowest in seniority out of the 5 that raised their hand when asked (damn the luck!). oh well. a couple 3 more hours of pay won't hurt. it felt good enough getting out at 4:50pm (instead of 6:35). work is supposed to cut our hours down to 10 hour days here soonly, we just got lucky, today, having a substitute boss, and all. before all that, it was just another day at the stalag. before leaving this morning for the stalag, I do some online banking and throw $90 toward my MC, and take next months rent out a week early (all my bills seem to happen within the first 18 days of every month, so to spread things out a bit, I'll do rent one week before it's due, leaving more money for those first 3 weeks (it's hard to explain, but looks good on paper, so I'll give it a shot). I also set up billpay to include $135/month going toward the money I threw the Kid's way (still well within my budget), that's due on the 13th (another reason to move rent back a week).
[....] *sneeze-a-thon*
I was boring you to death, as I often do, with finances anyway. it was a good time to break it up with sneezes (as a certain pooperdog growls at me
). [....]
good gawd! red watery eyes, snuffle-upagus head, unt about a good 20 sneezes. what am I allergic too?! (don't say beer or I'll cry
). anyway...continuing on, while skipping any more financial boredom, which I guess brings me to Thursday; it was rainy all weekend (midweek "weekend"), so I didn't do much of anything on this day. a good power-nap, and maybe a couple episodes of star trek Voyager. oh yeah, I broke out my bass and played along with Pandora playing 'Man, or Astroman?' radio. I finally get some grocery shopping done, and fill the shrimpy truck's gas tank ($3.35/gallon). Wednesday; I was awoken by some knocks on my door (this must have been 'round 10:30am, after a good night of drinking beers Tuesday night, but now I'm skipping backwards). it was the Kid! I haven't seen him in a long spell. we do lunch at my favorite Chinese buffet, and catch up on what's happenin'. I write him a check for a cool half million (poor man's half million, that is) so he can start his life (sans his mom's iron grip) down souf (yep, South Carolina is his destination). this ought to be enough to get him rollin' 'til he finds a job etc. we then quick stop off at best buy (for no particular reason, it's just fun to see what's new in electronics) as well as an estate sale warehouse (again, just for fun). let's see, we then watched an episode of 'weeds', an episode of 'star trek voyager', and the movie called "I love you Phillip Morris" (Excellent movie!). later on that day, we hit Dairy queen for some chicken strip meals and mini Blizzards (I didn't have a thing, as far as food goes, at the shack...). Tuesday night; I drunk me some beers (as I already mentioned), played a bit of my guitar, and watched a couple more episodes of 'Breaking Bad' via netflix. I don't even know what I wrote in my last entry, but this is prob'ly where I left off...we'll call it good, and sign off, so I can get cleaned up and hit the rack. 4:30am comes around far too quickly...
