• I wake up at 5am these past couple days with that weird feeling like I'm gonna be late for work (is there a syndrome named after this, 'cause I think I gots it).  also, it feels a bit more Arctic outside (both last night, and this morning's pooperdog walks), with it being in the 20's and windy (closer to feeling like winter than that day I raked leaves). I've been thinking lately about having a backup heater for this place in case the power goes out.  maybe kerosene or propane fueled.  something small to keep the frost out.  just in case. so the small mammals and I don't popsiculate (word?) if bad weather works up a black out.  even though we're more likely to have blackouts here during the summer (when the grid overworks due to everyone using their AC, I'd imagine?).  anyway, it would be good to have around, for peace of mind sake...maybe Amazon.com sells 'em?

  I take a minute to burn some coffee, and notice there's no clean coffee cups to be found.  there's a couple waiting to be washed.  where's the rest of 'em?  prob'ly in my little truck.  I'll bring a coffee with me to work (or where ever) then set the empty to clink around with other empties on the passenger floor of my truck.  I really should clean that wreck out today *adds to to-do list* (and/or buy me some more cups).  oh, the coffee is especially delish this morning (wait, I say that every morning).  I limit myself to 6 beers last night (slow down, it is a long "weekend" after all) while watching more of the 'Jericho' series (via Netflix).  I also find another series that parallels 'Jericho', called 'Survivors' [BBC...also via Nf], 'cept instead of a nuke scenario, it's about a group of survivors who manage to escape the plague that wipes out 90% of the world's population. and even though there's huge stockpiles of food, clothes, and vehicles, peeps defend stores and warehouses like a drug dealer defends his turf. peeps get all weird when civilization as they know it ceases to exist. understandably so.  I like these post catastrophe kind of series. they tease out the 'how would I handle that situation?' within said scenarios.  prob'ly barricade myself inside my favorite beer store

  I've got a hankerin' for breakfast.  maybe Denny's or IHOP.  I'll flip a coin...

  later: I skip going out to eat being that I have plenty of leftover ham (ugh!) to do me some green eggs and ham mitt. then commence to cleanin' a grubbed out kitchen (where do all these empty beer bottles come from?  Squabber?...I got enough in returnables to buy that new car I wanted).  afterward, I check my email for that confirmation letter telling me to wander over and pick up that jumbotron.  nothing yet (it'll either be today, or tomorrow).  another good feature of hooking up a TV instead of the monitor that's hooked to it now, is I'll have a remote to turn the volume up and down, instead of guessing which buttons on the bottom of the monitor gets me to the volume page, then which is 'volume up' and 'volume down'.  good gawd! it's frustrating!  I can't even see the small symbols that are supposed to be there to help you know what's what...anywho.  I gotta take me a shower and do another pooperdog walk *plan*
