Well…with the drought of news that has been plaguing me for the past couple of weeks, I am still struggling for topics…probably as I should be after doing almost 2800 of these….but, today…I may just do this one on the glimmers of hope that I see on the job front..there have been many more positions to apply for and I even have an interview for Monday…that, in itself, is cause for some sort of celebration but I am tempering all of this with the fact that once they see me, there will be no chance of getting the job…they just aren’t going to hire someone my age….but, the interview should be fun….but, as I said before, it will mean less fun for me for the next couple of weeks until I find out whether the job happens…probably do me some good to take it easy for a few days…I do need to continue to send resumes until then but I think I’ll take today off and continue tomorrow…maybe even try to get caught up here since a job will crimp my time here some…would be nice to relieve some of the boredom, though…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but with going over to K’s for a while and then having a cocktail night, I feel a little slow this morning…didn’t do much other than watch Doctor Who all day and cook a ham that will last me the next week or so…I do need to work out this morning since I skipped yesterday but that is about all I need to do…might go out for a couple with G later but that is about it…just can’t get motivated to do much else right now….so, I will go back to the couch and finish my coffee….more later…

Okay…think this one deserves an update since I did get a piece of good news today…finally have an interview after not getting one all year…for an ME job at a place called Challenge mfg…so I have to be good until after the interview Monday….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I again didn’t accomplish much…I did figure out what program was putting hyperlinks in all of my writing and websites that I read everyday…uninstalled it and all of the problems I have been having just disappeared…pretty cool…slept okay last night and feel okay today even with it being a cocktail night…the newspaper was so thin this morning it took about 5 minutes to read it and that is why I’m here so early…and I’m not sure why I paid a buck for it…I am going to try to get caught up today with three of these but, as always, I’m not sure what I’m going to write about…have all day to figure it out though…I did discover something pretty cool yesterday..was watching the old “Star Trek” series on Netflix and found that they have re-done all of the special effects to make them more modern…I wonder why? Looks pretty cool but the cheesy effects were what made the show…it does make it like a brand new series, though, so that is cool…not much to do today…I am looking forward to the “Doctor Who” specials today…the last with Matt Smith who I like as the doctor…not sure about the new guy they chose…should have been Simon Pegg….more later…

Well….as I’ve done all week, I’ve tried to come up with a political topic that would be interesting to anyone, or everyone, however you want to look at it but have just had no luck…been through the papers twice today and that didn’t help..so, I guess I’ll just noodle and see what happens…I have been exhausted today and I have just figured out that I only had about 1200 cals yesterday with it being a no cocktail night but I was also up at 5 so I guess that’s not a good combo…looks like the same thing is going to happen again today since I don’t have anything in the fridge other than tomorrows food and I don’t want to break into that yet…there was a cool post out on Kos a few minutes ago where Markos put up the holiday pictures of his family from the time he started the site and it was neat to see….and the comments showed what real family is and that it is not what the repubs continually say it is…you can be a good family person and still be a progressive but they seem to think to be a progressive with empathy for others is not possible….the site is an oasis in the hate of the internet and I appreciate having a place to go that all people are valued….okay, the tray from the chicken from a few days back is starting to stink so I need to put the trash out…more later…

Well…if you got past the anti christmas screed from yesterday, I will say that I am feeling better today and not nearly as frustrated…so, there will be no more I hate christmas posts…and the thing is I really don’t hate christmas, I’m just ambivalent to it…it is going to just be wednesday for me…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t got too much done but I’m okay with that…I am going to try harder today to at least vacuum and get the kitchen cleaned up…just so I can dirty it again tomorrow…I did get out to lay in supplies this morning and I won’t have to go out again until saturday…I am going to cook a dinner tomorrow just for the habit of it unless I hear from one of the kids…and, I do like ham so that’s what it is going to be…or not…it will keep until the weekend if need be…not much to do today…going to just veg it out today…I do need to go out and clean off the car and dress the seals so they don’t freeze shut….more later….

Well…after being immersed in 24 hour non-stop christmas for the past 6 weeks…I am just tired of it…I’m tired of the forced happiness, I’m tired of the so called christians taking offense if you don’t greet them correctly (hint…happy holidays isn’t it) I’m tired of the commercials where people get new cars for christmas presents….I’m tired of having to explain why this isn’t the best time of the year…I’m tired of explaining why I don’t celebrate it….I’m tired of having it jammed down my throat in every store, on every commercial and in every way imaginable…okay…that was a little bit of a humbug post but it did serve a purpose…it got me closer to being caught up for the month and it really lets me vent that this is not a joyous season for me….it is again something to be endured; not enjoyed and I just can’t wait for thursday…

Well….it was another disappointing day yesterday with the Lions playing the worst game I’ve seen all year….and another year not making the playoffs….50 some years and counting for a championship…slept okay last night but I am depressed mightily about being broke…not much I can do about that, though….other than the game, it was a really, really boring day yesterday and I didn’t accomplish much other than getting the ice off the car…the weather has me down some with the snow piles getting so high that I can’t see over them in the car and the incessant cold is just a bit much…oh, well…not much I can do about that, either…not much to do today…I am going to clean some and that’s about it…I do need some topics so I am going to go back to the papers to try something new…more later…

One last thing..forgot to talk about the power outages around here…the church right behind me has been out since Sat…and T’s has been out since the same…mine blinked a little yesterday but it never went out…maybe something to smile about…

Okay…just did this one to see if the counts are correct…can’t remember how I got two behind….thought I’d done enough to get caught up the past couple of days…oh, well….just haven’t had anything to say really…and I’m not sure why that is….maybe I should write about the “war” on Christmas? Just can’t figure out why these so-called christians feel so put upon this time of the year just because some people say happy holidays instead of merry christmas…..and the whole damn society celebrates their holiday even atheists…so what are they bitching about? Of course, it just going to be wednesday to me and I may not even cook this year…maybe just some venison tacos…I did get the the half inch of ice off the car…but I don’t have anywhere to go so that’s kind of a moot point…geez…now I’m just rambling…so, I think I’ll stop…more later…

Well…it was just another day yesterday and I did get a little work done so I feel good about that…but, I didn’t feel good about getting up to a car with 3/8 of an inch of ice on it…need to go out in a minute and try to get the rest of the ice chipped off so I can get the headlights to open…slept okay, I think, but don’t really remember…I was up early again today and that is getting to be a pain…did have a weird thing happen at FF this morning…going through the self checkout, I put a 10 in and got 16 dollars back from buying my 2 dollar paper…now, if it was a real person doing the checkout, I would have noticed and given the extra cash back…but, to have to go through talking to the person at the counter and explaining just wasn’t going to happen…it was hard enough just getting the ice off the car and driving over there…not much to do today….just a veg day it looks like with the Lions coming on later….more later…

Well…haven’t really been thinking of any topics today but I know I have to do another one today so I guess I’ll just give it a try…probably something I’ll have to do for the next couple of weeks while congress is gone and no one is doing anything stupid for me to comment on…so, here we go…first…the new battery for the walkman is working like new…charged it once Wed and after using it for three days, the indicator still reads full…so that is cool….there is something weird going on with my site that I noticed a couple of days ago…it is underlining some words for a reason I can’t figure out…might have to go into the guts to see what is going on…it has been a lazy day for me but I did get the bathroom done while I wait for State to come on at 4…after that one starts, it will be all sports the rest of the day with Michigan and the Wings playing later…I do hope the storm stays to the south…it has been hard on the Miata with all of the ice…it was so slick going out this morning that it was actually dangerous even with the snowies on….okay, that’s enough for now…
