I Definitely Have A Bug.

I don't know how I got it, since I know no one who is sick. My resting heart rate is up,  it is how I know for sure. I shouldn't have played golf yesterday. 

I didn't do much after. I drank a lot of water. My appetite was still quite healthy. I was starving,  and I ate a lot. I don't have a fever either. 

I will do the same tonight after work. Read,  drink water,  and eat.  Just rest. We are still out of internet and TV,  which I don't mind really. It isn't anything I would normally miss. We watched the end of a Harry Potter movie last night. I read my book in between. 

That's about it for me. Fighting a bug. Another night of rest will probably have me feeling perfect. I'll shoot to get my blood work done tomorrow. 

Laterzzzzzzzzz.       :)

Starting A Normal Week?

My dad's drama is done. At least for me. We got the exterminator stuff taken care of. The house super clean. The kitchen is a mess again, but that is a quick clean up. 

I do have an annoying cough, and that seems to be taking a little out of me. Maybe not too. We will see how today goes. I am golfing after work today. Not sure how that will go since I didn't do any golf activities past last Monday. 

I think I am going to put in for a vacation after labor day. Just relax. See movies, maybe golf,  do some house stuff. Maybe just be lazy too. It has been a busy Summer. I should try to recharge if I can. I don't do well on days off though. I just don't like them a ton. 

Yesterday I listened to a new book while working. A new series from 2 authors. I read or listened to some 17 or 18 of another of their series. They made a movie a while back. "The Relic"  based on one of the books. I just checked. The 20th installment comes out tomorrow.   :)

Writers definitely write. I know I thought about trying it before,  but I doubt I have what it takes. Time for one thing. I think I would struggle with dialog and stuff. 

You never know. Fall is different than Summer. Winter is too. I can write shitty blog entries seemingly every day.  :)   That's not really a skill though. 

Today is a new day. A new week too. Everything seems better now that my dad is gone. He burned all his bridges. Glad he is out of here. Social workers will get in touch with him to give him a place to live. It will be a long long time when I visit. Probably won't. He is nothing to me. I made my life. I brought myself up by making a turn,  and not wanting to be my father's son. I had to find my own way. I am accountable for me,  not others. So, I had to take that path. 

Anyways,  I spose.

The Streak Is Done.

I blogged for every day for well over a year. I stopped my streak yesterday. I didn't feel like blogging. I am not proud of my streak,  I don't feel I had anything important to say, so to stop my streak was not hard. It wasn't an accomplishment or anything important. 

It meant as much to me as collecting some other rubbish. You know the stupid shit people collect. When they die someone has to throw it out. 

I did most my Saturday stuff Friday night. I did a shit ton of laundry due to being so grossed out by my dad, and his bed bugs. I saw black widow at the theater. It's good. Its not a huge blockbuster for some reason, but I thought it was pretty good. Up there with the others. 

Lisa cleaned my dad's crap up yesterday. Nasty ass person he is. He was collecting towels,  knives and utensils. Uses them, and puts them in his dresser. 

Lisa got in touch with some social workers who will work to get him in a place if he chooses. She also notified the police of his story. They know him already,  and they know who he is staying with. A ton of run ins already. They warned him several times over the last several years to stay away from those people,  but he didn't. I could give a fuck what he does, but when it costs me money AGAIN, he's persona non grata. 

Like I said he's nasty. He isn't a nice person. I don't think he ever had a long term plan. Just go along being an asshole. You have no idea how much I dislike that person. 

So that's that. Oh, I paid for the new license plate thingies too. Kept forgetting. I am 55 today, and birthdays seem even more stupid at 55. As important as a blog streak, or a collectible. Not important at all. 5 short years til I am 60. 55 isn't old if you stay as active as me. I still feel 25 internally. 

Our internet and cable is out til next Saturday. Soonest we can get a technician out. Lisa was a little freaked out. I am like people live without TV and internet you know. It is possible.  :)  Personally I am excited for it. Not a big deal to me. Lisa's brother will freak. His friends live in the games he plays online. 

Anyway, I spose. Today should be okay.

That's Done.

Our exterminator guy came, and blasted our house with heat. There was no evidence of the bugs being anywhere but my dad's old room. I think he blasted that room to 155⁰, and the others not adjacent 145⁰.  He had some clothes in his drawer, he put them in a bag,  got that up to heat. Afterwards I took those clothes to the laundromat to clean them,  and dry them on high heat. Did my sheets, and mattress pads too, just to be safe. Once again our bed looked really clean. No bugs. 

It probably helped we got rid of his bed,  and shit right away. I can only imagine under what conditions he lives in now.  Yuk.  Nasty people. On the bright side our house will get a deep clean. 

This World is just nasty isn't it?  Bugs, and people, gross gross gross. Better off definitely are the people who were never born to view this nastiness. 

I am pretty disgusted with all things now. 

I will definitely be busy for a while. Have to get this house cleaned.  Get rid of all my dad's shit. Kevin has to move into his room. That dude is nasty too. Dude who has bad asthma never vacuums and never dusts. Come on!!  

Everything is so disgusting. I see the World as I see it right before my turn. This place is gross. There are no noble deeds to be done. So, I gave up my one coin in hopes to get a better one. The World didn't improve any. Still as gross as I saw it. I just see more clearly how gross the people in it are. 

Doubt you see things as I do. You remain as you always were. Just older.

Turning Bad Into Good.

We got everything ready for the exterminator people today. On the bright side is my dad will no longer live here. We are moving Kevin into his room asap. Then we will clean where Kevin was staying, and it will be an extra room. I'll put my pull up bar/dip bar there. 

That stupid fucker cost me a lot of money. Money I can always make, getting rid of that gross nasty person is priceless. A better way for me to live. He's had a relationship with that crack whore for years now. Always giving her money for Heroin. Go do your stupid shit. Nasty ass people. I do feel so much better just wiping my hands from that gross person. 

You know its bad when you just hope that piece of shit dies.  Who knew he was such a gross person?  If I did I never would have let him come live with me. 

We've done our fair share. No longer. We are retired from taking in strays. I am not even hard to live with really. Just don't be an imbecile.  

Now all of a sudden my days really filled up. I guess we will be doing some major cleaning. Switching rooms and stuff is good for that. 

It sucks having to pay so much for the exterminator,  but I get paid every week, so I can get it back. Just today I get paid for both my jobs,  and I will next week too. See, already getting it back. 

That's the major shit going on with me. We really are turning a really annoying situation into a positive.

Kinda A Big Day.

I had a pretty big day planned yesterday, and I did get a lot done. I kicked my dad out of the house again. Due to his being with the crack whore, he brought bed bugs into his room. It is going to cost me almost $2000 for the exterminator. I told him you cannot go with her anymore. Not if you live in this house. My wife yelled at him too. We did not sign up for this shit. So knowing the ramifications he went with the crack whore on Sunday. We told him don't bother coming back. 

Once you have bed bugs its a Bitch. The people are coming in, and heating our house to 150⁰  Best way to get rid of them. A lot of prep on our end too. Who knew?  It is pretty much just in my dad's room, so they aren't going to do our basement. Just the main level.  Yesterday we took his bed, and mattress,  sheets, pillows etc... to the dump for another $100. 

When he was saying stupid shit to me on Sunday,  I wanted to slug him in his face. What a stupid gross old fucker. He's revolting as a person. His crack whore is gross as fuck too. Lisa asked him too. "This is what you are choosing?"  Her instead of living here.  I cannot express into words how fucking gross she is. 

Take it from me,  if your parents get old,  and need help. Let them fucking die on their own. Especially if they are just lazy fucks. People are not worth helping.  

Like I said though, I had a lot to do yesterday,  and I did a lot. A lot to do today too. 

Life goes on. The big thing is my dad is no longer allowed to live here. This house will be sooooo much better. Get his room cleaned out, and that will be so much less stress. 

I feel better getting this off my chest. Airing my dirty laundry in public I spose, but I don't care. Who am I trying to impress?  Besides there isn't anything impressive about me anyway. A dude with a life,  with pretty normal shortcomings as a person.  I think anyway.

Squeezed 9 In.

The weather system moved just North of us, so we were able to golf. I hit a medium bucket of balls to get my drive back. I took just a little off my swing, and it kept my drive pretty good. I don't think I played really good,  but I stayed out of trouble. If I didn't play like shit on the last hole I would have broke 50. I shot 51. That is improvement. 

Monday golf is fun. I bought a cooler over the weekend,  and had 2 beers on the course. Just for the heck of it really. That's part of the fun I think. 

It will be a busy week for me, as I have a lot to do around the house. That's fine though. It doesn't bug me at all. 

Besides that not much. I just have to do dinner. Thinking of doing pork chops on the grill. I bought some nice fat ones. 

I am not sure when I'll get out next to hit my irons or play a round of golf. I'm not too concerned. I feel I did accomplish what I already wanted. To improve.  I can improve way more,  and I want to, but I have other shit going on too. 

I really don't have much else going on. I spose.

Looks Like Rain.

I guess we won't be golfing today. It looks like 100% chance of rain during our time to go. Maybe I'll see a movie. I worked a little long yesterday. Got into an area I haven't been able to in a while. Then I came home and watched golf. 

We had a little drama with my stupid ass dad and Lisa's dumb as fuck brother. People are the worst. Those two are so fucking gross. You know they annoy you when you figure the World would be better off when they are dead. You can't tell them anything though, because everyone in the World is a goddamn rocket scientist in their own mind.  

This human species is not highly evolved in the least. 

Outside that I think I have less than 10 hours left in my book. I'll be able to finish it this week. It is good. Not really sure how it will end. There are a few cases they work on,  but the major one is a 40 year old cold case. It is pretty strange. 

After this book I'll move onto something else. Not sure what. I just set a reminder for me to renew my license plates. I keep forgetting. It is that time of year again. 

Outside that not much. Another day as they say. I think I am ready for Fall. I was worried about not golfing, but I barely golfed last week, and I am fine. Today will be canceled,  and I am not heartbroken over it. Life does go on after golf I guess.  I wasn't so sure a couple weeks ago.  :)

As usual nothing really going on with me. I slept good the last 3 days which is nice. I can get my blood work done too next week any day. I think it should come out good like last year. My blood pressure is good. You know what helps blood pressure?  Checking it every day. Just so you know how it is going. It doesn't have to be every day really,  but I do. You can do it weekly. Like I do my weight, every Saturday morning.  

I guess I better get my lunch ready.

Blogger Spam.

When blogging was a thing people might comment on an entry. I did a lot for whatever reason. If you commented, then you could see if someone else did after, if you wanted to be notified of further comments. 

Anyway someone spam commented on a blog that had 5 or 6 of my comments. Last update 2012.  Lol. I have no idea who the person was who I commented on. I read a lot of people who I didn't know. 

No one blogs anymore hardly. I have my journal here I guess, I keep in the blogger thing. I just do my day to day, cuz it is part of my routine. 

This doesn't serve any purpose,  and of things to have in your daily things you do, it isn't the worst thing. 

I think I feel better today. Yesterday I was still off. I didn't feel 100%.  I did get my Saturday stuff done. I also wore a mask again. I wore it at work all week. I am going to again too from now on. I wasn't the only one masking up, but I definitely wasn't in the majority that's for sure. 

I don't really remember colds affecting me too harshly,  but this one did. I still had energy,  and could work,  but I wasn't 100%.  Yesterday may have been the worst too. Like I said though I think I kicked it. I feel better today. 

Today at work I have to get cutting on my 32 hour book. I didn't listen as much this week as normal,  cuz I didn't take the dogs, or golf. The library books I listen too, you only get for 2 weeks. I'll get 10 hours done today at least. 

That's about it.  I am glad I feel better today. 

Besides that not much. Another day in the life.

That Was A Week.

I am going to skip playing golf today. Rest up some more. I'll get my regular Saturday shit done. I'll probably see a movie. I weighed myself this morning. 156 pounds. That is beyond ridiculous. I guess I did pick up a bug. I will fall short of 72 miles this week too. So it isn't an activity induced weight loss. I guess an appetite induced weight loss. I don't feel I ate less this week though.  Maybe though. 

Yesterday I thought my face looked skinny. I thought it was from my haircut. Me at 156 would give me a skinny face. I feel my weight is good at 170, so 156 is pretty light. 

I just checked movies,  and there are a lot I want to see. That's good. 

Not much else going on with me. I see the virus is back going strong.  The antivaccers are fucked. So smart they are. You can see it slowly turning into an us vs. them type thing. When is it that everybody turned into an expert into everything?  Has it always been this way?  

I guess it is time for me to shut down the World again. There is nothing to see  here type thing. Everything looked pretty good for a while though huh?  Seems like it all might turn to shit again. 

It may be I caught a bug,  and that has me down a bit. Nothing is really going to change for me though. I'll continue to work eat sleep. I'm going to do it with a mask on though. Kids will be going to school soon spreading all kinds of germs. The parents will be bringing those germs to their respective workplaces. We haven't even dealt with colds in a while.  I predict a bad flu season for this reason.  Our bodies lost some ability to fight off bugs is my guess. 

I guess I'll start my day now. I have some stuff to do before I see a movie.

Hey, I Have Tomorrow Off.

I have tomorrow off, and I am ahead of schedule. I did whites yesterday,  cuz I was out of socks.  Last weeks golf outing knocked me off track. The kitchen is clean,  so that's pretty good. I haven't played golf all week, except Monday, so I am not sore as Hell like usual. I will probably try and hit my 8 Iron today at the park. The time off may have done me good. 

My cold feels better I think. I think I felt better yesterday. A little pep in my step. I didn't take the dogs,  but I got some shit done. Made biscuits and gravy for dinner too. 

Not much really going on. It is kinda nice being back in my regular routine. A normal day off. I guess in life we all have a type of schedule and routine. It's good if you like it. I do. It helps I guess  I don't like time off really. Everybody is so excited for time off, and I am not. The ability to become lazy happens,  and then I don't feel good about myself. I don't enjoy vacations for that reason. Not much to do. 

You know this already. This blog has gone on long enough I am sure I rehash shit over all the time. 

I spose. 

I have to make my lunch.

Fuck It.

I wore a mask yesterday cuz I have a cold. I might as well continue to wear it. This virus is going to be around awhile. I am vaccinated,  but why not just be safe. Safer I guess. I will be considered weak, and a wimp, and whatever I am sure. I am past the age where that matters. 

We are all that person who says "I never get sick"  "I never get the flu "  you know what is a more accurate statement?  "I am not fucking Superman."

I was kinda thinking how I got this cold. No clue. Also I was thinking could it be covid?  No reason it couldn't be. If I got it chances are symptoms would be mild cuz of the vaccination. 

Who knows. Luckily I am at an age where I can do my own thing. I definitely don't have to impress people. 

Also I thought maybe I have been running myself down. I've been tired a lot. As fun as the summer of golf has been,  I've been extremely active. Active is good until you hit that point of diminishing returns. If you stay at the red line for too long something is going to breakdown. That may be what happened too. 

After work yesterday I just relaxed. No golf,  no dog walks.  I did have to stop by the store for a few things, but that's it. I am getting better, but I probably am still a day away from kicking this thing. 

I watched women's golf yesterday. US Amateur,  and Olympics.  Girls are good golfers. Many have really good swings. It seems to me golf is popular with a lot of women.  That may not be the case, but those two sporting events show so many women golfers. 

Not much on my mind besides that. Today I will relax after work again. Not sure what to do about dinner. Maybe stop by the Mexican store, and do fajitas. Gotta see about getting a haircut too. 

I spose.

What Is This Thing?

So, I got a cold. First one since the pandemic started. You kinda wonder. I still taste my food though,  so it seems like a regular cold. I can only imagine how I got it. I'll wear a mask at work to try to stop the spread. 

We finished the work on our pool. It should get a passing grade from the inspector. Electricians came Monday and bonded the pool. (Grounded basically)  

Speaking of sickness I still had a really healthy appetite yesterday. My blood pressure was good too. 

I guess preseason starts after this week. I think about the Bears, and I think not a good team. Defense isn't going to be anything great, and either will the offense. I barely even know the players on the team. There will be pressure on them this year too to be competitive. 

Honestly I am more excited to watch Matthew Stafford show why he loses so many games,  and hope Jared Goff helps the Lions improve. Stafford is sooooo overrated. 

I checked out to see how the Sox injuries were. I stumbled across ages. Eloy Jimenez 24, Luis Robert 24, Yoán Moncada 26. Just the players I noticed.  That shows a hefty barrier to entry to be competitive in the AL Central for a while. The Sox will win the division this year. As to the playoffs who knows. That is always a crapshoot. 

Not much going on besides that. Summer is almost over for people with kids. If that changes their life a lot. I wouldn't know. I saw the lady who lost her husband yesterday cutting the grass. The pickup,  and 5th wheel trailer were moved to another place. She had a scooter for sale for ~$2100 or something. I waved as she was riding her lawnmower, and she smiled and waved. She does hair,  and her hair always looks cute. She's cute for an older lady. I know, but I don't know if she knows I know.  What's her plan now you know?  Condo I'd imagine.  

Anyway I spose.

We Tried Another Course.

We tried another golf course yesterday. It is considered an easy course by all stretches. You have to hit it in the fairway,  cuz there are a lot of trees. My driver was no help to me. I did hit my irons good though. Made pretty good contact. I am not worried about my driver,  that usually comes back quickly. I was definitely happy with my iron play. My putting isn't great by any stretch. 

Work was a rush. I had a lot to do plus the orders come in. I got everything done I wanted, and made it to the golf course on time. 

I bought some ribeyes from Sam's a few days back. We grilled them up last night. 2 steaks were $40, but they were as good as any steak I remember having. 

That was the day. Work, golf,  eat, sleep. The electrician came yesterday to do the pool grounding thing. They don't call it grounding,  but that is basically what it is. I forgot what they called it. We have to dig up a bit of area for some code thing. The inspectors will be here tomorrow. Then we are done. 

So today will be busy. Work will be busy all week. My BP was good. Like 127/78. I am closer to getting my blood work done too. 

Nothing crazy going on at all. Just your typical life going by day to day. I am busy, and at my age that's a good thing. Busy keeps you healthy. Mental health is another thing. I am fine with myself my life and everything. How do others struggling fix themselves?  How many people don't even know their significant flaws?  

Not my thing to worry about. I am just doing my life thing. Happy with my small little World.  I cannot fix the World so I don't try. Heck we cannot even fix ourselves. No one should try to fix the World. They should fix themselves first, but that never happens.

Hey It's August

I guess we are hitting the final months of Summer. You can't really tell anymore though. Winter hasn't been coming as quick as years past. It hasn't been a terribly warm Summer for us this year. It's actually been pretty nice. 

The pennant stretches in baseball are heating up. Football will be here before we know it. Who knows how the virus will react. Stadiums are filling up. 

Personally I don't feel the need to go to crowded areas. Concert, and sportsing events who cares.  At 50+ you just don't give a shit about that anymore. Actually I've been done with both for a while. Too expensive.  I don't hate my money enough I guess. 

I work 6 days/week too,  so I'd probably have to take time off too to go to an event. I like the way my days fill up as it is. I know I know I am BORING. I don't mind being boring. I guess if I am boring by your standards it doesn't matter really. I an fine with me. 

For me the aging process just means less and less is important. I am not doing any great things. Just living my life doing my own thing.  

I guess aging means I don't have to make a name for myself. I don't have to seek out the meaning to my life. In the end there really wasn't a point to it. I am happy to live out my days. If you cannot be content at my age, then that would be a tough burden to carry. 

It is Monday. I have work, and golf,  and then dinner. This week is going to be ridiculously nice.

36 HOURS!!?!??!!?

So, I got my book for work today. It is ONLY a 36 hour one. I'll be book listening during my spare time. It is the 5th book In a detective series. Robert Galbraith is the author, but that's a pen name. The real author is J.K. Rowling. You know Harry Potter. I listened to the first four. They are good, I like the characters. They made a series out of the first four,  and it was really good. The characters looked exactly how you pictured them in your head, which is a pretty remarkable feat. 

We had our golf outing yesterday. It was fun. We played okay for us. It was a scramble,  and between the 3 of us we were never in any trouble. I think we had one double bogey, and no birdies,  so par or bogey for the rest of the holes. I lost my ability to drive at the turn for some reason. I had a half a bloody Mary, and maybe 2-3 beers while playing 18. Morning drinking is not my thing. Is it anyone's?  

It was fun, and everything went to charity. I forgot to weigh myself yesterday, so I did it this morning. I am still in the 150s. Same as last week. 159. I guess that's about it. Back to my regular routine. Yesterday was different. Just cuz I usually do my regular Saturday chores.  

Not really much on my mind. I have work today, and my book. I'll take my dad to the store after to pick up a few things. Then probably just chill. We gotta do something for dinner. Another day in the life I guess. 

I take it the virus is coming back. Mostly from those not getting vaccinated,  which is beyond stupid. I guess we will see what happens. I hope it doesn't get really stupid like before. I am going to start wearing a mask when shopping again. Just yesterday at the golf outing as we were waiting for the drawing of rewards, we were all pretty close,  and who knows right?  

I am not anxious about it, but you think about it. Also I am in relatively pretty good shape. Vaccinated,  and in good health = peace of mind 

I spose. Guess I'll get ready for work.
