Sunday Recap

One thing I hate about late parties is that I get up so late that half the day is gone already. I know lateness in the morning is a relative thing.  I know I get heckled a lot for getting up at 8 during the week.

I passed on the Japanese animation convention since it was ending at 2 and it was after 12 when I left the house. Oh well there is always next year.

High impact injuries abounded from all the running on concrete.  My ankles, knees, and thighs were all sore yesterday.  So I made it a relaxing day.

First up I hit Starbucks to relax with a chai latte, and to start reviewing my first story since I finished the second. Rough work.  Writing I usually just explode on the page, but this reviewing is rough work, but like all new habits it will take some time to get use to.

Boy trying to find some Thanksgiving decorations. Forget about it!  The holiday has been run over by Christmas and left in the dust.

Spent some time at Barnes & Nobles and was happy that a book in one of my series came out with a new book. Ended up helping a elderly lady.  Since she couldn't make it up onto the high stools at the counter she was going to stand and eat.  She looked so uncomfortable so I got her a table sitting down so she cold eat in peace.  While there I did find a awesome site.  Star Trek fans will get a bigger laugh, but I think it is still really funny.  This is one of my favorites.

With some of the money I earned from the big parties I picked up Justice League Unlimited the first season.  So I spent most of the night watching episodes.  It was great since I haven't seen most of them.

 

Saturday

My Mom’s wheelchair arrived today.  So now I am all set to take her out of the memory unit when I see her and take her around.  Due to her decreased cognitive functions from the strokes, new settings can be anxiety provoking.  So I am trying to get her out of her unit routinely so that she can work on that part.  If she stays in the unit she will really not be pushed in that area.  So long distance walking is too hard for her so I made a deal with her.  She has to use her walker in the unit, but I will push her outside.  I know my Mom would love me to push her all over the place.  So I think I got our routine down today.  A stop at the club room for some coffee and then over to the big windows to look at the flowers which she loves.

I got to stop at the Rock N Roll picture show. It was pretty good with some really nice pictures.  Fewer that I thought and about the right price I would think.

 

Finished Christmas shopping for Eric today and since he is the only person I buy for.  I’m finished. 

Hoochie Momma Party Recap

That was brutal, back to back Hoochie Mamma Parties.  Last night was sick.  We had about 500 people there. They all came early which is unheard of.  It was the usual scantily clad women, punks calling me names, and so forth.  Boy my knees and ankles hurt all night long while I was asleep from all the running on the concrete. 

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

Tonight’s party was actually more subdued.  The women were dressed as usual which is to be expected.  However no name calling, be cursed at.  I’m just not use to that.  Almost made it, but in the last 10 minutes I almost got into two fights.  I’m the money person of the two of us.  I know why. My friend can’t say no or put his foot down for anything.  So I am the heavy hand.  I don’t mind since it is good practice for me to stand my ground and these are people I don’t give a damn about so they are the perfect guinea pigs.  The smaller of the fights was really his problem, but the guy came to me.  The guy’s car got ticketed since he wanted it downstairs at a certain time and he showed up 30 minutes later.  We split the ticket.  The second one was my holy grail of the night.  Every single guy in these parties will try to get away without paying, as did one of the security guys tonight.  He tried everything to get out of paying.  Lies, threats, etc.  Finally he paid the $10 dollars.  He said I was a funny guy for going through so much for $10.  It’s enough money for me, but more principle.  Not my responsibility and I’m not picking up yours.  So I feel good tonight to have stood my ground.

Friday Night

I'm beat and I still have to go to work in an hour and a half.  Yuck.  You really need to be in the right mindset for the Hoochie Momma Parties.  I don't think I am ornery enough yet.  I tried to sleep in this morning and skip the gym, but I didn't get enough extra sleep for tonight.  Oh well I'll have to rely on the cold.  It's already in the 40's here and I know down by water it will be a lot colder around midnight.

Send in my ad for the SPCA to run in their email announcements.  They didn't seem as enthused as they were before I turned down their $345 ad.  I wonder why?

I definitely want to hit one of the local mall tomorrow.  The Rock N Roll art show is in town till Sunday and I really would like to go see it.  The other thing I want to try an make is the Japanese animation convention that is happening this weekend.  I will try for Sunday since it is the only free time I will have that is a big block.

Thrusday Musings

I realized yesterday that I my back seat is full of jackets.  With the crazy weather here of 70's during the day and 50's at night I have been switching jackets and forgetting to take them back in the house.  Hopefully since the cool down last night it will stay at one temperature and I can unload my back seat.

Still off day wise.  With no yoga Tuesday and my house calls switched to Friday I have no idea what day it is.  I think this will be a week without yoga since I don't think I will want to get up early this Saturday after a late night Hoochie Momma Party.

I no longer have a ton of boxes of stuff in storage, but it is still a pain trying to find stuff in the 20-30 boxes I do have.  Since the room is small I have to become monkey boy to get through there without breaking my neck.  I found almost everything I need for doing the acupuncture.  I want to find one more book and I have narrowed it down to about 8 boxes.  So I will start the archaeological dig soon.

I see AOL has updated their journal page.  Nothing new though.

 

Need a Shirt

I think I need to get myself a shirt for my birthday which says I am 40 and not in college.  While I do enjoy looking younger than my age I do get tired of people asking me what I am studying in college.  I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too.

Man on Fire

I am use to the good feelings of taking care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  However over the last 2 days I have been taking care of myself business wise with my marketing.  Trying to restart old clients, the new acupuncture in the office, and the usual beginning of the month marketing.   So I really feel alive today which is a great feeling.

The lady I valeted at night got my tip out of the ATM before getting her car.  A nice crisp dollar bill.  I was soooo happy.  LOL.

Well my landlord if off again on a trip which is unusual, but hey the place to myself again for a few days.  Cool.  Although with back to back Hoochie Momma Parties Friday and Saturday I might end up sleeping most of the time away.
