Tired Friday

I am sooo tired, I didn't stay up too late last night, but I had a really hard time waking up this morning.
I am ready for the weekend.
This afternoon is a going away party for a woman who is retiring.

Thursday

This morning I had an outside broadcast, but it's been rescheduled to tomorrow. Now I have an outside broadcast and an important meeting at the same time tomorrow. I was kind of looking forward to the OB today, because the people there are friends and it'd be nice to be outside on a Thursday. Now, somethings gotta give.
I used the last of my coffee at work today, I've been meaning to get more all week, but I keep forgetting. If I forget tomorrow, I'm DOOMED! DOOMED I tell ya!

Sufferin' after work

Here's some pics from yesterday after work, I'm really ruffin' it.
Last weekend, I invested in a hammock, and it is turning out to be a very good investment. Also yesterday, the sunset was about as perfect as it can be.

A new decal

Yesterday morning I had to take my Dawg to the vet to have a grape-sized mass removed from his chest. When I went back to pick him up yesterday afternoon, I saw a new sticker on his folder-

"WARNING! MAY BITE!"

Apparently he wasn't too cooperative coming out of his cage when they were getting him ready for his operation.
The mass they removed wasn't anything dangerous, but it's getting checked out just to be safe.

Cardboard box

Yesterday the OI Girl sent me out to her car to get two empty cardboard boxes, but I could only find one. It was hard to find too, because it wasn't out in the open, it was in a cardboard box. . . .

Another weird dream

I dreamed that i was watching car race on water. I was standing on a dock, watching cars race. It was in New York I think, I don't know why I think that, but the water was cold and black.
On the other side of the "track" was a guy in a kayak, watching the race too. Then behind him this big wave came and tipped him over and drove him and his Kayak deep underwater. I could see him under the water trying to get right-side-up, but he was having a hard time. Then pop! His Kayak came to the surface without him. A second later he came up. He swam over to the dock where I was, got out, walked right past me and around to a canal where his kayak was, put on his hat, and dived back in. (He was wearing a drysuit, for the cold water).
Then I was sitting on the dock by the canal, I saw an old lady and her son (or grandson) lowering themselves in the water and swimming. She was wearing a winter coat.
Next thing I remember after that, I was laying on my back on the dock by the canal. On the other side of the (vary narrow) canal, several people came out the door of their apartment. They had some type of toilet. One of them took the lid off the toilet and laid it on my chest. I said WTF! and threw it in the water. We started exchanging words, and I don't remember what was said, but after a few minutes of arguing, I started walking away and two of them followed me, giving me a hard time. One of them (the same one who put the toilet lid on me in the first place) shoved me, and I grabbed him by the wrist and swung him around me and whacked his head against a wall. It knocked him out, and he would have fallen in the water except I still had his wrist. I was holding him by one wrist, and he was hanging down off the edge of the dock. I think his feet were in the water. I turned to the other guy and said "Do you want to get your buddy? Or do you want me to drop him in the water? I was just laying there, and he put the shitty lid of his toilet on me, I didn't do anything to you guys." The other guy came and took his friends wrist and pulled him up. I could see that the guy's eyes were open, but nobody was home as I walked away.
A few steps later I was thinking that if I had dropped him in the water, he might have died because the water was so cold, and he was unconscious, and I'd get in trouble for murder.
Then I woke up.

These weird dreams are staring to bug me, although as far as I remember, it's only the second one (recently).

My Pic in the paper

Line up in an orderly fashion for autographs, I got my picture in todays Cayman Net News.
Passing out numbers to the finishers of the 5K walk/run that was a couple of weekends ago. (I didn't realize I was so ugly!)

Video For You

Here's a (kind of) funny video

It reminds me of the time I put catfood in my coffee grinder instead of coffee beans

Dream

I had a weird dream last night.
I was at this womans house, D's, having dinner. It was very good. After dinner her two daughters brought dessert. I recognized them, and they looked much older than they are. All three girls were very happy that I liked the dinner and dessert.
Suddenly an ex-girlfriend, L, appeared, and was sitting at the table with me. She seemed very calm and sad.
Then D's husband came in, and walked by me, giving a strange look but not saying a word. He went into the kitchen, and I could hear him talking to D. Then he came back out to the table and was teasing me. Calling me lovey boy, and saying I liked his wife, which I did, and she liked me too, in this dream. (L had disappeared by now).
I got angry and got up and walked to the kitchen, looking for D, I was going to tell her I was getting ready to kick her husbands ass. Instead found another ex girlfriend, K, in there hiding. She said we had to go, so we went outside and got in her car, a gold Jaguar. The Jaguar had windows that wouldn't roll down and the AC didn't work and it was HOT. I looked over at her driving and she was wearing a very short skirt and a very tight sleeveless shirt and had very large boobs, flat stomach, nice tanned arms and legs and her skin was all shiny and wet from sweating. She looked very good, but it was very very hot and uncomfortable in the car, and I felt guilty for wanting to have sex with her.

Then I woke up.

Age Old Mystery Solved HERE!

Now you know!

Remember where you heard it first!!!

3AM

Seems like every morning I wake up at 3AM, no matter what time I go to sleep. I wonder if it's left over from when I got up to study.
I'm in bed now, typing this on my phone.
Today I have a split shift again. I'm recording a public meeting tonight for future broadcast.
The weather here has been cold and windy and cloudy-ish, too much for the beach. Maybe today will be better!

Early Flight video

Some of these I hadn't seen before. Funny when the guy catches his butt on fire!

BAWLING

Today I am BAWLING

Back
At
Work

I was
Never
Gone.

It was an OK weekend, as far as weekends go, but it was very dissatisfying, and I feel cheated out of the trip we looked forward to for so long.

Last night I had a dream I saw a seagoing green turtle flip flopping across a US superhighway.

Not much fun

The OI Girl and I spent Friday afternoon at the airport, being bullshitted two hours at a time. Then the trip to Costa Rica was canceled. Problems with the plane. Also the Panama trip was canceled. Two planeloads of people, all at the airport together.
I was very disappointed to say the least. The OI Girl is too, but she was the one cheering me up.
Her family had the whole time planned for when we were there, and from what I understand, are devastated.

Who knows when we'll get another chance to go.

Funny thing, a guy at the dive shop was telling me they had a woman in the shop who was irate because they couldn't get a ticket because they were told the plane was out of commission. I told the guy we already had tickets, and we kinda thought the lady was mistaken, or talking about some other trip.
I guess not.....
At the airport, someone else said they heard rumors of plane problems the day before I did.

Funny thing is, if I had known a day earlier, I could have gotten another flight. It seems that the charter company knew and kept their mouth shut. The charter company is blaming the airline, (Atlantic Air, out of Honduras.)

So we had an OK weekend, we went to the beach Saturday and diving today. We're both still off tomorrow.
Then it's back to work, Forever.

Just My Luck

I can't beleive it, yesterday at work, I fell up the stairs. I was walking up these three little steps and apparently I didn't get enough foot on one. It would have been no big deal, except as my foot bent backwards, my heel came out of my shoe and it ripped the sole out of the inside and I ended up barefoot and in a lot of pain as my big toe got bent way backwards. I went to the doctors and it's apparently not broken, but now I'll be limping all over Costa Rica.

Frikkin' Freekin!

Yesterday the OI Girl called my up and left me a message, clearly upset, saying she had bad news. I'm thinking "Oh great, Costa Rica trip canceled" or "Someone died". I'm thinking disaster.
So I called her back and she had dropped her cell phone and broken the glass. I started laughing, I was so relieved. I told her not to worry, we'll get it fixed or get an new one.

Whew! I was frikkin freekin!

Two days and a wake-up till Costa Rica!

Four days and a wake up

Friday the OI Girl and I go to Costa Rica for the weekend. We are both very excited, already I'm afraid it will be too short of a trip.
The OI Girl has informed me that I should be ready for some grilling from her family, like asking my intentions and when we're getting married.
My first marriage was a disaster and I feel I can never be sure enough to do it again, although I couldn't imagine not being with the OI Girl.

The Big But

I used to smoke cigarettes, a lot. When I quit, many years ago (15 years or more ago), it was the hardest thing I ever did. About two years ago, I smoked a Cuban cigar. A couple. Now I'm smoking cigars almost every weekend. Now I wonder if I'm addicted again.
I like smoking cigars on the beach, it's a great place to smoke them.
BUT! Just the fact that I like it might mean that it's bad.

Friday Gone

My hours today were 11:30 PM till 7 AM this morning. I'll be at the beach today!
Whooo hooooo!

Dullard

I knew Halloween was coming, but I missed it. Even when the OI Girl brought home candy and asked about trick-or-treaters it did not dawn on me that it was last night. I realized this morning that Halloween was last night. We didn't get any trick or treaters.

You missed my annual Halloween jokes. Oh well, you'll just have to wait till next year. (Or look at my blog entry for Oct 31 last year or the year before)
