I'd rather read my book.

Due to the holiday, I have 2 days off of work in a row. So, I figured I'd blog today. Not that I have much to say. Lisa is back to work starting yesterday. 

Geez, I guess its a new year soon. I should have a resolution, but honestly I haven't even thought about it. There isn't much I'd change about my life. 

As a new year starts people have talked about planning vacations. I realize, I don't particularly enjoy traveling, and I don't really like spending money doing that stuff. I'm happy doing what I do. 

I am not like everyone else. I get that so people cannot really get in my head, and be like me. I continue to not seek out better days. These days are fine. 

My life is busy, which for me once again is a good thing. I don't know people all too well. I am a social distancer pretty much, just cuz I don't really need to be social. I think I have been a social distancer even before covid, I just never really called it that. I am not really a hanger outer. I work 6 days/week though, so not a lot of time for me to hang out. 

Anyway, that is all rehash stuff. I am not a terribly nice person. Inside me a Saint does not live. We have that in common, but I doubt anyone besides me accepts that truth. 

The truth in the end gives you a heart like a lion. The truth is a scary thing to look at. If you haven't been led on that path, you wouldn't be able to fathom it. 

I blogged for a pretty long time. I thought I had a message at some point, but now I think it was all just folly perhaps. 

Still my heart is fine with things. People come in and out of our lives, yet for me I am fine with me. My time is my own,  and I do what I like. I don't owe anyone else my time.  "Have to", and "supposed to" do not have a say in who I am. I am strong enough to be my own person. 

I do have a lot to do today. A football Friday. I am going to make chili, and drink beer. I don't normally drink beer, unless I have one when I go out to lunch or dinner, but I'll make an exception today. I don't want a hard stuff hangover. I wouldn't be able to drink enough to obliterate myself before I fell asleep. Let's say I want to stay awake for the game.   :)

No predictions on the Michigan game. Preseason I thought maybe a .500 team, but they've been pretty dominant. Georgia, can kill them perhaps,  but if Michigan wins it will probably be close. 

Should be a fun day.  

Laterzzzzzz.       :)

Hey, It's My Blog Day.

I can't believe I used to do this so often. I don't mind doing it. Like anyone I have no problem talking about myself.  If I were on the outside being the one reading this blog, I can't imagine I would read it. Actually I know I wouldn't. I am just not that interested. 

I don't want to hear about people's life stories. 

Anyway,  we had the Corona scare this week. Lisa the prior week was exposed at work. Lisa gets a cold she gets the worst version of it, so I was always worried about her getting it. An unvaccinated person got it, and went into the hospital. He lives with his ex wife. (Separate floors, separate rooms)  they don't hate each other, they just don't want to be married. Anyway the ex wife works closely with Lisa. That is how we are assuming she got it. Lisa's work mate got pneumonia,  and so far 2 ambulance calls to get taken to the hospital. She was unvaccinated too. 

Lisa started getting symptoms Sunday. I got her a test on Monday. First test positive, 24 hours plus later also positive. Her taste and smelling departed too. She had cold symptoms for a few days. She gets a cold she gets knocked down for a few days. The last two days she is doing much better. 

I read up some this morning. She had a J&J shot,  so she was past due for a booster. J&J it is recommended 2 months after. The others 6 months. Regardless she handled covid fine, and I believe J&J vaccination helped her defenses quite a bit. She has antibodies now, plus we will get her booster shot after the New Years. I see it is still recommended. The first death in the US of omicron was from an unvaccinated person who previously had covid. 

I had my booster on Monday,  and Lisa started getting symptoms the following Sunday. I never felt like I had any symptoms. I just wanted Lisa to recover quickly,  and she did. Her breathing was always pretty good. 

We are alive to tell the story, covid vaccinations are a powerful defense. Unvaccinated people are going to be like bike riders who go the hospital with a head wound while not wearing a helmet. Care workers will look down at them, because that isn't really smart. That is just the way it is. No way around it. Bike helmets cost money,  and vaccinations are free too. So real bottom feeders is how the sick unvaccinated people will be looked at. I would look at them that way. 

On December 24th, I golfed 9 holes. Today, I am going to shoot 18 holes. That is a mild December. My clubs have not been put away at all. Yesterday I shot a 49. I had one triple bogey, and double bogey or less the rest of the holes. No cheating either. I lost one ball, and used the penalty stroke to use another. That was my triple bogey hole. 

My distance was short. I am not a long distance guy at all. I was living in the fairway the most part though. I think I only had one mishit though where it went like 10 yards. Improved golfers have to get rid of those. 

My main job is a baker. You can imagine a bakery during Christmas time prints money basically, so we've been busy. So busy I skipped taking Hope like 3 times last week. Too tired. Christmas is done though, so the dogs will get their walks. Offseason is upon me. What has changed in the last 15 years?  One I barely blog, also,  my off-season is from golf, not running. Somehow I still only weigh 152, instead of 165. Weird right?  

I spose

Found This Blog At A Good Will Store. Bought It For A Nickle

Hey long time no see. I stopped blogging when I got sick last summer. My last update was like August 16th or something. I was sick for like a week. It wasn't covid,  which was surprising. No one else got sick though. So 4 months no blogging. 

A couple weeks after I stopped blogging, I noticed I didn't look at social networking anymore, so I took Facebook, and Twitter off my phone. 

I don't miss the blog, or social networking. I played a ton of golf,  and I read now instead of blogging in the morning. I weighed 154 yesterday, which I've been mostly 152-153 for a couple months. 

I started working out again, now that golf is in off-season for me. Added to my workouts are swings with the driver. Try to increase swing speed. Its my favorite exercise. 

Golf I am improved since I started up again. I am a consistent 110 golfer for 18, but really not far from a 100 golfer. Something I knew I could easily get addicted to. I use a push cart so it adds steps,  and I love it. I cannot run anymore so I love adding steps. 

I never got into the 150s when I was running. Go figure. 

I am still working both jobs. I just got a $2/hour raise at my Sunday job. My reaction was "Oh Shit"    :)

Not much besides that. I do like blogging sort of. I don't know who I am writing to though when I do it. Myself?  

I do think it was rude of me to just disappear. I am a horrible friend. I don't feel guilty about it, but I recognize it about me. 

Blogging is also a bit presumptuous,  or arrogant too. To think someone gives a shit about reading this. 

I did get my booster shot on Monday, and Lisa is going in a week or so. Oh our pool has passed all inspections. I'd say $7500 for pool and installation,  and maybe another $1500 for electricians,  and pulling permits. Who knew?  

Besides that not much. I think I'll blog once in a while. Maybe Saturdays.  I like reading books on my nook before work. I don't really have much to say every day. 

I think I do have a good blogging "voice" 

I heard a song yesterday, which always made me think of Audrey who had a running blog like a decade or so ago. Don't know her last name, and don't really care to. She had a picture she put up, and took down. I always asked her why she did it. I saw it when it was up, and later saw it was down. It was a good picture of her. A sad picture kinda. Who knows?  I just remembered.  

People come in and out of our lives. I am comfortable with that. I am happy and content as I am. 

Anyhow, I may do this once in a while.  

Laterzzzzz.     :)
