Someone book me a room (Part 360)...
Chapter 12, Page 25...
Christmas Day, I got up about 9:30. I showered, dressed, and packed up my Christmas Gifts for mom. Then I headed on out to her place.
When I got there, she had to finish preparing something for lunch, and then we went into her living room and opened our gifts. This was MY haul, before the unwrapping:
Beautiful purple wrapping paper. Anyway, after the unwrapping, this is what I got:
A mug, some strawberry hand soap, gift card to the local movie theater, Star Trek ornament, Superman ornament, two boxes of White House Annual Christmas Tree ornaments (she's now gotten me each and every one ever made from the start in like 1980 or so), and of course, the YARD OF TWIX! Yes, yes indeed that is a YARD OF TWIX!
I asked what she was thinking giving a YARD OF TWIX to a diabetic! Her reply? "Well it was either Twix or Snickers." HUH? Like one is better than the other for a diabetic???? Ah, well, that's Mama Polt!
I got her a book she wanted, some minutes for her track phone that she wanted, a subscription to a magazine. And then I also got her this:
The daughter of a lady I work with is very artistic. I asked her to paint a picture of mom's house, the one she owned for 49 years and just moved out of this year. I took a crappy photo of it with my cellphone and emailed it to her. And from that (and one visit to the place in person to look at a few things) she painted this. Oh my God, it's amazing! And incredible job! When mom opened it and saw it, she started crying. I teared up too. She asked how I did this, and I told her the story I related above (with a few more details).
I didn't get it framed, because she's pretty picky about the wood in all her frames in one room matching the furniture, the other frames, etc. So I told her, once she figured out where she wanted to hang it, we could take it somewhere and get it framed and I'd pay for it then. She just loved it.
After this, my mother's sister and her husband, and my mother's brother and his wife, arrived, and then the six of us ate Christmas dinner. Mom, as usual, went crazy with the cooking. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, homemade bread, cranberry sauce, corn. And for dessert, she had fruit salad, ice cream, two different cakes, and something else I can't remember. Just crazy! After eating this, and cleaning up, we all went into the living room and sat and chatted for a while.
All day, I'd been fighting off a nagging headache. Not something horrible or very painful, just kinda distracting and, well...nagging. So after a little bit of all this, I left and came home. I was supposed to stop by Derick's, but I didn't feel like it, so I texted him and told him. When I got home, I hung out here, on the computer, reading some, napping more than once. And then, at 9, it was time for the Doctor Who Christmas Special. I have not been a fan of the stories the last few years, and I expected very little out of this one as well. But I was very pleasantly surprised. The humor worked, was not forced or irritating and in fact, the entire show was was quite enjoyable. Well, less so the last ten minutes or so, which got sappy. But other than that great show.
Afterwards, I turned everything off down here, went to bed, read a little bit and then went to sleep.

"It's A Wonderful Life"
I had never ever seen this movie all the way through, even though it's been played all over the airways for years at Christmas.
Then, in 2007, the Christmas after dad died, I was at the house with mom on Christmas Eve. I asked her if she wanted me to stay the night, and she said no, that she was fine. I saw that It's A Wonderful Life was coming on, and since neither of us had ever seen it all the way through, we decided to watch it, the entire movie. And thus, was the first time I saw it.
But it wasn't the last. For a dozen years or so, my Christmas Eve tradition was to watch the Christmas episode of "My So-Called Life" because it touched me so what with the gay character Ricky being kicked out by his family and then finally accepted by Angela's mother. Brought tears every time. And after that, I watched the best Christmas Special ever: The Year Without A Santa Claus. LOVE that one. The songs, the characters, the fun. And it cheered me up. And then I'd go to bed.
Well since 2007, my tradition is just It's A Wonderful Life. I like the alternative universe part of it (something I've always been attracted to in comic books and sci-fi), as well most of the characters in it. A good, enjoyable film.

So Thursday, Christmas Eve, I had to work. Which is not a problem because at work, the holidays are laid back without too many new clients coming in or too may problems. Usually. This year, however, was NOT usual. In any sense of the word.
It was freakin' crazy! There was a total of eight new clients. A few were acting a little strange, one was certainly certifiable. Just crazy shit. And I was supposed to leave work at two (since either the county government or the Big Boss gave civilians two hours off if they worked the last day before the holidays. Which I did.) And it repeatedly looked like that wasn't going to happen. Although, thankfully, in the end, I left about 2:10 instead of 2:00. No problems.
On the plus side, thanks to a co-workers reminding me the day before, I ordered pizzas and had them delivered for the staff at lunch Christmas Eve. (I've done this the last, 4 or 5 years. It's a nice gift to them all, and they all appreciate it) So at least we had pizza for lunch.
But, because of all the chaos earlier in the day, I ended up getting a nagging headache. When I got home, I just hung out here on the couch doing nothing, other than a load of towels through the laundry. I read some. I was on the computer some. I napped a bit.
I wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit. I was still stressed about on going issues here at home. It's crazy warm here, like 70 degrees, on Christmas Eve (but don't worry, Global warming is just a hoax, ask any Republican!), it certainly doesn't feel like Christmas.
But I knew "It's A Wonderful Life" was on this night. So, I had a glass of beers, refilling it once, and I watched the movie. That helped somewhat increase my festiveness. And when it ended, I was ready for bed, going up, reading just a short bit and then going to sleep.

Merry Christmas, one and all!
Here's a couple things for you to enjoy on this holiday.
Yep....that's me.
The DS9 crew wishes you Merry Christmas (and Happy Hanukkah from Sisko). Jake's looking pretty dapper in the bow tie, eh?
Slighty sacrilegious, but pretty damn funny.
And oldie but a goodie.
This is the best part of the entire movie. I want this on a t-shirt. Or in a framed photo hung on the wall above my sofa!
Have the most festive Christmas you've ever had.

Wednesday, I had a pretty slow day at work. There was a few things that needed done, and which got done, but there was also a lot of talking among coworkers and having a good time and all that.
After work, I came home and hung out here a bit, just got online and watched some TV and stuff, no biggie. But soon, it was time to leave. And off I went to the movies, to see the new Star Wars, with all 5 ParisPekings and Ghostie as well! And it was an amazing movie. No Spoilers, I promise. But it was a movie worth watching, and it's what the second trilogy of movies should have been!
Coming home after the movie, I went up to bed, read just a short bit and then went to sleep.

(updated...I forgot two important things from this day)
Tuesday, I got up and to work with little problem. My one coworker is off until after the fist of the year. The other coworker in my department and I are only working together one day each week. Otherwise, we're both working alone. Tuesday is the day we're together. So while he took care of the new clients, I got done the weekly paperwork that needed to be completed. And I did get it all done. For lunch, my coworker Frigga and I went back to Panera. It was great to get out of the building for a short while, and of course, Panera has better food than anything they have at work.
After work, I stopped and got a few things on the way home that I needed from a few different stores. Then, when I got home, I hung out here doing basically nothing at all. I read some, watched some TV, was on the computer. The usual.
I got a text from one of my fuckbuddies, and even though I wasn't really feeling like playing around, it had been a while since he'd been here, so I told him to come on over. And then some pretty good bedtimesexxyfun commenced. And once he left, I went back to doing the 'basically nothing at all' i mentioned above.
After a bit, about 9PM, I decided it was time for bed. So I went up to bed, read a little bit and then went to sleep.

Monday, I got up about 830, showered, dressed and headed out for my appointment. I had my quarterly checkup with my doctor. Everything went fine, it took like only a half hour. I found out my A1C was down to 7.6 (check out the chart below). Great news there!
Afterwards, mom came and picked me up. We had the cookies, fudge, peanut brittle, and homemade garlic pretzels in the car, and we went over to work, where they were having the annual Christmas Party. We put her stuff on the dessert table, and then ate lunch there. With my coworkers. What fun that was. We were there for about 45 minutes, and then left.
We went to the mall, mom got some things she needed. Then we went to the local used bookstore, where we both looked for something, but didn't find anything we wanted. We went to the grocery store, where I got a few things, and then we came back here. I unloaded the car, and mom went on home. I spent the remainder of the day laying around the house, in my lay-around-the-house jammies. I watched TV, was on the computer, read my book and waited for the Monday Night Football pregame to start. I watched that and some of the game, and then went up to bed and to sleep.

Come join our party, not just anyone will do (Part 20)...
Earlier today, Senator Lindsay Graham suspended his presidential campaign.
This again is no surprise at all. I don't believe Miss Graham had ever polled higher than 2% in any poll. She was a complete non-entity in the campaign. In fact, the only thing the senator ran on was that the US should be more hawkish in the use of it's military. And with Trump and Cruz alone wanting to bomb the Middle East into glass, who needs a senator from South Carolina who no one is interested in running as well. The only good thing I can say is that she never hesitated to slam Trump and get personal, because of the enmity she felt for him and his candidacy. Hmmm, perhaps she did have a set of balls in her trousers after all.
Anyway, this is list:
Democrats
Hillary Clinton: April 12, 2015 - 240 days
Bernie Sanders: April 30, 2015 - 227 days (even though he's really an Independent)
Martin O'Malley: May 30, 2015 - 201 days
Lincoln Chaffee: June 3 - October 23, 2015 - 136 days
Jim Wbb: July 2 - October 20, 2015 - 105 days
Joe Biden: 0 day campaign

Ted Cruz; March 23, 2015 - 264 days
Rand Paul: April 7, 2015 - 256 days
Marco Rubio: April 13, 2015 - 239 days
Ben Carson: May 4, 2015 - 225 days
Carly Fiorina: May 4, 2015 - 225 days
Mike Huckabee: May 5, 2015 - 224 days
Rick Santorum: May 27, 2015 - 201 days
George Pataki: May 28 2015 - 200 days

Today was my quarterly visit to my doctor. The most important info for me, as always, was my A1C (the long-term blood sugar count). Here's the chart:
In case you can't read that last number, it is 7.6. SEVEN POINT SIX! YAY! In the last three months, I've knocked the level down one full point, from 8.6 to 7.6! (just for context, non-diabetics are usually under 6.0. Diabetics, my doctor, like to see our levels between 7.0 and 6.5). So hell yeah to that!
I can't really take too much of the credit myself. My diet is still, sorta, atrocious. And while I WAS walking frequently back in September and October, I haven't been doing too much of that in November and December. But what's made the difference, I'm sure, is the insulin. We upped it to 35 units a night.
Now, if I can get the diet under control, and increase the exercise, we may eventually be able to even cut back on the insulin. That's the long term goal.
But frankly, I'm just so freakin' happy it's down to 7.6, well, I could dance a jig. In fact, I may just join Conan O'Brien in doing this one!
Feel free to dance along, if the urge grips ya.

Someone book me a room (Part 355)...
Chapter 12, Page 20...
This morning, I got up, showered, dressed, bought my morning Rutters coffee and then headed out to the ParisPeking household. There (and waiting outside because he was eager to leave the 'leper colony' his house had become) was A Local Celebrity, Mr. David ParisPeking. We were talking out annual Christmas shopping pilgrimage. (And yes, we WERE doing it on the Sunday before Christmas because someone is trying to become a 'Doctor' and had classes or tests or papers or some such excuse and we couldn't go any earlier in the month. But I digress....)
Instead of going farther away, like to York or Lancaster PA, or Annapolis MD, or Roanoke, VA, we just drove across the mountain to Frederick. We HE drove, cause I'm not driving near a mall the weekend before Christmas. So we drove through McDonald's for some breakfast. Then getting to Frederick, he took me to the school he's a vice-principal at. And showed me the current school, and the one they're building behind it. The one behind will eventually become the school and the current one will become a parking lot. But it was nice to see it anyway.
After this, we went to, in no particular order, Kohls, Best Buy, Barnes&Noble, walked through the mall, to the comic book store, and then finally, to aka Friscos. Delicious meal, as always. Also, every freakin guy that was working there, like all 6 of them, were freakin HOTT! Yes, with two T's! Amazing. Oh, and the place was packed with people, even though we got there after 1 in the afternoon to eat. We still managed to get a booth to sit in and enjoy our meal. (Well half of it, in my case, I had to bring half the sandwich home).
After this, we returned back to his place. I transferred my purchases to my car and started for home. I didn't make it directly, because I just went right back out to mom's cottage. Once there, she and I packed up the stuff for tomorrow. For the last ten years or more, she and I have taken her homemade cookies, fudge, brittle and other goodies into work and distributed them at various places around work for my coworkers to enjoy. We also did this on the Monday before Christmas (since I have off that day). Well this year, they were having the Christmas party lunch on that day, so she and I are just taking her goodies to the party, putting them on the buffet with everything else, and then we'll each lunch there too. But together we had to pack up the goodies, and that's what I did out there.
Following this, I came home, changed into my lay-around-the-house clothes and vegged out watching football. Although, later in the evening, I did succeed in wrapped gifts....nineteen of them suckers, before I got tired and stopped. I think I'll take care of the rest one other night this week.
At about halftime, I was tired, so I just went to up to bed, read a little and then turned out the light and went to sleep.

Someone book me a room (Part 354)...

Saturday, I got up and to work with no problem. My stomach was still a little rough from the nacho bar/alcohol Friday night. And I knew at lunch they were serving chili and rice. So when I got my coffee from Rutters, I also order a ham and swiss on white with mayo, a nice innocuous lunch meal.
Work wasn't much of a problem. I did all the new clients in the morning, then in the after putzed around with paperwork and such and talked to coworkers. Not a bad day, all in all.
After work, as planned, I went right to mom's. I picked her up and we went to Sheetz. She had a card for 30 cents a gallon off gas, and she had just filled her car up. So, since I was at a quarter tank left, we filled up mine. I got gas for $1.82 a gallon. Sweet. Then, since we were out there, we ate supper at Applebees. It was a nice meal, nothing to rave about, but nice. We hit Wal-Mart for a few things, and then I took her home afterwards.
I came home and waited. A Local Celebrity, Mr. David ParisPeking was supposed to come over and we'd watch the Jets-Cowboys game together. But he call about an hour or so ahead of time to say the three girls had had the stomach flu and were puking and pooping all over the place, and NOW, Susan had started coming down with it. So he was just going to stay home and take of his girls and his wife.
So I watched the football game by myself. All the way to the disappointing, but not at all surprising, ending: a loss for Dallas in the last two minutes. After this, since it was nearly 11;30, I watched the first half of SNL, and then went to bed. Didn't read buy a few moments, turned out the light and went to sleep.
