February Sucks

I can't believe we are getting another ice storm tonight! Well, believe it sister, it's a-comin and there's not a thing to do about it. I live in Pa. and the last time this happened, which was on Valentine's Day, we had three major interstate highways shut down for days. There were people out there for 24 hours! Can you imagine. I would have been psycho. So let it come. I'm ready. Got cig's, got booze, got food, got my honey, what else do I need? HEAT!! I just pray the power stays on. Maybe, I should just hurry up and pack and go to the Virgin Islands for a week or two. Now that sounds like a plan. Not gonna happen. Oh, well you know what they say (who ever they are) When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call over a friend!

Trying to beat the winter blues

I talked to a friend of mine over the week-end. She was upset because a friend of hers passed away and she is facing some kind of a legal battle with an old employer. We had a few beers and talked everything out. She called me this morning to thank me for being there and being a friend. It seems I just happened to show up at the right moment on Saturday. I'm glad I was there to listen and to help. It got me to thinking about my own life. Although I'm not having any kind of major crisis's going on in my life, I just want to try to be more happy with myself. I guess it's just a case of the winter blues. I have gained a few pounds and it seems like I don't get much accomplished without pushing myself to get things done. I have heard other people saying the same things. I need to get on some kind of a schedule and stick with it. I need to think positive and be more up-beat. My neighbor lady is 85 years old and has a treadmill in her basement. She told me I could have it since she would not be using it anymore. I told John to please try to move it over here as soon as possible, because I need to GET MOVING!! We'll see in the next couple of weeks how well I do with my plan. Wish me luck!

What I Thought this Blog would bring to me.

I thought by opening this blog I would be in contact with other people out there that would be interested in what I had to say or what was going on in my life. I try to leave comments on other blog's if it relates to everyday life, gardening, love's in your life, or other things that catch my interest. I am just wondering if my life is boring or if anyone is reading anything I have put up so far. So anyway, my last blog was Saturday, and I was bored and decided to catch a buzz. Had a couple of rum and pepsi's here at the house. John was lounging on the sofa watch tv. Still being bored, I decided to go to the local bar for a while. Sat down there for a few hours getting pretty toasted and socializing with some friends. Called John and ask him if he wanted to meet me for a drink, he said he would. He came down about an hour later and we had a few more. That was about enough for me, time to head home. Had a little something to eat and crashed on the couch. Sunday was a lay around and recover day. Don't often go out and get smashed, mostly on the week-end, but when there is absolutely nothing else to do on a Saturday afternoon why not?

what to do on a saturday afternoon?

It's Saturday (not quite afternoon) and I'm wondering what I am going to do with my day. Got all the house cleaning done yesterday, so that's that. This morning I washed up some dishes, went to the bank, got a couple of things at the store we needed, stopped for cig's, and took Hannibal for a walk. Now I'm sitting here at the computer, just wasting some time I guess. Since I really don't have anything exciting to do today, I think I'll go to the kitchen and mix myself a cocktail or two or three or more and get drunk and be somebody. OK! Later.

medicine head

I have this nasty cold and have been taking cold pills and cough syrup. I have the dreaded medicine head. I hope I am making sense because I can't think. I was up almost all night coughing. All I wanted to do was sleep, but noooo! As soon as I would lay down cough, cough, cough. So as much as I hated to do it, I called the doctor and got an appointment for 4:15 this afternoon. Hopefully, I will get something to relieve this hacking and will be able to get some sleep tonight.
