February 21, 2009 Saturday

The weather has been exceptional lately. It is about 50 degrees as I write this at 251 pm on a Saturday afternoon.

I have been taking it easy today other than I got a call out to adjust the temperature at a building ( I am on call right now until Thursday) that was easy enough....though I had to call someone else to actually DO the job due to the bldg was not in the computer system I have access to.

I have been a bit stressed about school lately. Well, not going but getting all the paperwork done to actually go is kind of a mess. I'll need to go and do MORE paperwork on Monday. I finally got my award letter yesterday, and looks like I even got approved for a Stafford Loan, so I won't be paying too much at all. I'll be happy to have the diploma that's for damn sure.

Last time I spoke with the kids they told me that this weekend they would be off to St. George, and then Vegas so I hope they are having lotsa fun. Makes me want to go to Vegas again, too. I love that town.

I finally opened my own local checking account yesterday so that I can direct deposit my checks. I got an ugly lava lamp design debit card...hunter orange lava....I love it.

The day is progressing pretty well. I am hoping to not get any more call outs...but that's the nature of the beast when you are on call. Probably what I like least about doing what I do for a living.

Tha's all for now. That was my day so far, how is yours?


749 PM

Just got through watching "Taking Chance" on HBO....the best show I have seen in months, very moving.

Before that I received my award from NGC in the mail...a really nice plaque for "Best Collectors Journal" I also got an honorable mention certificate a few days ago for my journal as well. It's nice to be recognized for working hard.

I had beefaroni for dinner tonight, ate it while me and my wife watched the end of "Forrest Gump" I thought the dinner was bland, my wife said it was delicious.....I think love makes the taste buds blind sometimes. I am glad she liked it though...not one of my better dinners.

By the way...there's been a lot of typos in my journals, and I know that. It takes long enough to put entries in, let alone make sure every word is perfect...so if you'll just translate and ignore...I appreciate it!! :) I get sloppy sometimes on my typing. To think I do this with the 2 finger method...I never learned to type, but tI think I do pretty well as it is.

That will do it for today.....hope your day was great!!
