The first out and gay football player drafted by the NFL Michael Sam, who unfortunately never got to play in the NFL, tonight, plays for the very first time in a Montreal Alouettes uniform in the CFL.  Good for him.

And here's a little Michael Sam, and his bootie, for us all to enjoy.

I got to work a bit late on Thursday, just wasn't feeling getting up.  I had an outside agency coming in to speak to a few clients, they do this about once a month or so.  I always get a little stressed about this, but this month, everything went quite well.  For lunch, then, I went out to eat with my co-worker, Frigga.  She and I decided to go get something at Panera Bread.  I got the You Pick Two...a chicken Cesaer salad and ham and Swiss sandwich (again).  She got a sandwich and some tomato soup.  And we talked and had a great meal, and good times.

I came back to work and waded through the stuff that needed to get done.  And then the workday was over.  At work, I got a message from Derick, and so after work, I went to his place straight away, for some bedtimesexxyfun.  Afterwards I stopped by Taco Bell and got some take out for supper.  After coming home and eating it, I putzed around online for a bit.  Then mom called and said she had some stuff she wanted to bring down to my basement, for storage.  So I got a dolley, a wheelbarrow, hedge clippers, some kind of ladder/scaffolding that you can use on stairs, and a 14 foot tree limb clipper.  Who knows when I might need them?

She and I chatted, and after we did so, and she left, I watched some tv and was online again.  After a bit, I went to bed, read some, and then to sleep.

A three day debate on a high rise estate....

The Republican clown cars (and the clown bus carrying Trump's ego and hair, and the clown U-Haul carrying Christie's bulk) are pulling into Cleveland tonight.  In just a few short minutes, the first Republican debate of the 2016 campaign will begin.


No really, Doctor Who's David Tennant, I am serious.   I know it's pretty ludicrous, but it is what it is.  They already had the JV debate with the 7 candidates who didn't get enough support to be in the 'big boys' debate, by big boys I do not mean just Chris Christie.

There's only supposed to be ten debaters, but they're going to have to have two podiums just for Christie's overflowing girth, and they'll have to have a separate one for Trump's ego, and perhaps another one for his hair.  And probably one for Cruz's stupidity.  So I'm not sure how they're going to fit 14 or so podiums up there, but that's not for me to decide.

I won't be watching it.   If this were an SNL skit, I'd watch it, because it'd probably be more accurate and truthful than what they're showing tonight.  But I have desire to watch a bunch of idiots sit around and try to sound knowledgeable and attempt to one-up each other.  If I ever do, I'll just watch some reality TV show, because that would be more polite, informative, and entertaining than this shame tonight will be.

Tuesday morning I was not functional at work.  My mind was somewhere else.  It took 24 ounces of Rutters coffee and a cup of tea at work to just get going.  It was crazy.  The day itself wasn't all that bad, but I just couldn't get focused.  At this point in time, I'm not gonna lie, I really don't remember what else I did Tuesday.  I know was online.  I know read some.  I know I went to bed and read and then to sleep.  And honestly, that's about all I remember.

Chapter 8, Page 5...

Wednesday at work, I got things done that I needed to.  I was feeling slightly stressed because since two other people are on vacation now, there are aspects of their jobs I have to do, in addition to my job.  There are a few things I need to get done, for them, this week, and I haven't been able to do them yet.  I know I'll get them done, its just an issue of WHEN I'm going to be able to get them done.

Anyway, after work, I came home, changed my clothes and waited for Phoenix to arrive.  When he had, we talked for a bit and then left when we needed to.  We drove to the theater, got a VIP ticket, and since it was in the middle of the week, we got a free bag of popcorn, as well as free refills on the popcorn and sodas.  We didn't get any food anywhere because we had decided to just feast upon popcorn for supper.  And so we did.

The movie we watched was Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (which by they way makes no sense, as there is no rogue nation even mentioned in the movie).  There were plotholes large enough to drive a Mack Truck through, but I expected that going in.  So I'm not going to nitpick them all, although there were a LOT of them.  But I just went with it and ignored all the stupid things, dumbed down my mind and logic, and just watched it.  frankly, though, the previous Mission Impossible movie, the one where they're in the insanely high building in Dubai, was better than this one.

When it was over, Phoenix and I came back here, chatted shortly, and then he left.  I got online for a very short time, and then went to bed.

Monday, I slept in a bit, not getting up out of bed until like 9ish again.  I did NOT deweed the flower garden, as I didn't see any thistles there the day before.  I did however go out and water the flowers.  I did NOT go to Rutters for breakfast or coffee.  I did, however, have a piece of homemade bread, a hard boiled egg and a bottle of diet Snapple with lemon while I read the paper.

I did some reading and in fact that what I did most of the day.  The book I was reading just totally grabbed me and I read all 385 pages in just two days, over 200 and some just on this day, finishing the thing about 1045 in the evening while laying in bed.

Other than reading, I did a load of laundry, got some things from Wal-Mart and KFC for lunch.  In the last afternoon, I took a walk.  A three mile walk.  It was warm, but not terribly hot, nor humid, but I was sweating up a storm when I got home.  I took my second shower of the day.

I then made a ham slice for supper.  I watched some tv, and then went to bed, and, as I said, read until I finished the book.  And then I went to sleep.

Sunday, I woke up a little bit later than usual.  I hung out in bed reading some, and just doing nothing really.  Eventually, like 9ish, I got up, threw on clothes, and went to Rutters for breakfast and coffee.  I ate it here while reading the Sunday paper.  Then I went upstairs and laid in bed and read some more.  I also took the morning blood sugar, and as I expected since yesterday, it was really high.

Finally, I got showered and dressed and called mom.  She came and picked me up, and we drove to Chambersburg to Rosalie's.   She still had the craving for cheese steak, so she ordered one.  I got the spaghetti and meatballs.  And the wood oven baked bread is so delicious there!

After this, we went to Target for a few things, and then we headed home.  Before getting back here, though, we stopped by the old folks home that my grandmother is in, and visited her for about a half hour.  And then we drove by mom's cottage...it's empty, of course, but it DOES have her name on the front now!  How exciting.

She dropped me off and I did basically nothing here.  I read some more.  I took a nap.  I did a load of laundry.  I drove to the grocery store and got a salad for supper.  I decided to take a walk too, and I did for a little bit.  It was very warm, and a bit humid.  And I felt quite icky after returning home.  So I got another shower.  I then spent some time watching part of the last Mission Impossible movie, and I wrapped up the coins I had, coming to $33 this time.

And then I eventually just went up to bed, read some and went to sleep.

Chapter 8, Page 1...

Welcome to August, the worst month of the year.  Saturday morning, I got up and to work just about on time.  I didn't start out with that many new clients to interview, but they kept arriving.  And I'm pretty sure it was still a full moon, cause like almost every single one of the eight of them had some sort of....issue.  What fun.

After work, I stopped by mom's because she had gotten me two 12 packs of Diet Snapple with Lemon, buy one get one free.  So I got 24 bottles for $13,99.  Nice.  I told her we'd go get something to eat tomorrow for lunch and I'd buy, and that's would make it up to her.  She also gave me some of her homemade bread.

I came home and did ab-so-freakin-lutely nothing.  Not a thing. I did watch some TV.  I did read my book.  I did get online and waste time.  I did very little else.  Until I went to bed, read and then to sleep.

For lunch, at work, we had meatloaf and a big baked potato (carbs).  In the evening, I went to Hardee's and used a coupon to get two big roast beef sandwiches (carbs in the buns) and medium curly fries (more carbs).  And in the evening, while watching tv, I munched out on some snack mix I have here made up of chocolate covered caramel bits (carbs), cashews (carbs), peanuts (carbs), and m&m pieces (yet more carbs).  And even though it was cooler than earlier in the week, I did not take a walk.  I do NOT expect my blood sugar to be anywhere near a good level tomorrow.

Today I walked 2.59 miles in 40 minutes.


Although, honestly, this is a rough guess, cause the app GPS was going bonkers again, and ended up saying I walked the first mile in 4 minutes and some seconds.  RIIIIIGHT.  So I just started over from there.  I added 4 minutes to the time, and roughly a half mile that I think I walked up until then.

Chapter 7, Page 31...

This morning, I managed to get to work again early.  Not really sure why, cause my ass ended up dragging five feet behind me the whole day.  I got done the things I needed to, but really wasn't feeling it at all.  And was yawning quite a bit as well.  I was one tired puppy.

When work was over, though, I drove over to Kris'.  We got the coffee table legs on and the coffee table those legs in like 5 minutes.  He and I talked for a few minutes about his upcoming trip to California, and, of all things, shoes.  As I left, I got a big hug, a thank you, and a few kisses...the last of which made the whole thing worthwhile.

I then drove to mom's house, where we exchanged car keys.  I sat there at her place and talked with her for about a half hour.  She mentioned wanting a cheese steak, I told her I could check the Waynesburger menu.  I found out they did indeed have cheese steaks, and then I suggested we go there for supper.

I came home, changed my clothes and watered the garden out front.  She went to the bathroom, put her car in her garage, and then called me.  I then left my house.  We both walked towards Waynesburger, meeting about halfway there, and then walked the rest of the way together.

It was warm, but not as hot as it had been earlier in the week.  Nor as humid.  Had I known it wouldn't be so hot, I would have worn sneakers, not sandals, and brought my earbuds and taken a walk after we were done eating.

As it was, mom and I got to Waynesburger, she got her cheese steak, I got a burger and fries, and we ate them there and enjoyed them.  Then, since it was Friday night, we decided to walk along main street for a bit and see what kind of music they would be having downtown.  And we walked Main Street down to the Square and then up the street to mom's house. It was a pleasant, albeit slow, walk.  And after getting her home, I proceeded to here.

I got online for a bit, and then watched some TV while I was online as well.  After a bit, I went to bed, read some and then to sleep.
