Of all the months, this was the August

I rode the bike to work today for the first time in a very long while. We watched the OSHA video today in our downstairs conference room. It was a lot shorter than I remembered. For lunch, we went to Las Palmas for Heather’s birthday. I spent the afternoon winding down and catching up on some personal paperwork.

After work, I came home and watched Up, which didn’t really induce as much feeling as I expected. I remember seeing a clip from it a long time ago and thinking it was a lot heavier. I guess I’ll have to break out that Toy Story 3 for those feels.

Everything not saved will be lost.

Lessons on No

I find myself getting better at turning people down for requests at work recently. Today I stopped the formation of a near-full-scale computer lab where one needn’t be. I guess that’s cool. It certainly makes life easier.

I even called the shots on lunch, and again after work playing PUBG with Johnny.

I finally got my time-lapse of the eclipse made too.

Kick, kick, kick, kick….

Make the Middle of It

I had a bunch of really weird dreams last night. The only one I can really remember is being in my parents’ back yard seeing some predatory birds attacking what I thought was an orange monkey, but turned out to be a parrot that knew how to talk. Having been missing a pet bird recently, I was upset to learn that my dad had known about the parrot, and had taken it on trips to my grandparents’ house without me.

Like I said, weird.

When I finally got up and around, I went to pick up Josh at his place, and we went to Western Sizzlin for lunch. The food was pretty fair today, and I entered to win a Yeti bundle. Yay.

After lunch, we came back to my house and he fell asleep on my couch while we watched Kingsman. I remember being pleasantly surprised the first time I watched it, and I was disappointed to learn that it was not released in 3D. The intro particularly made it look like it was made for 3D.

After the movie I took Josh back home, then almost stopped by Apex to visit, but decided against due to a full parking lot. I passed Tim on the way home, looking like he had just washed his truck and kayak. A curiouser me might spend some time pondering that, but I’m too old for that shit.

Once home, I waited around the house until Jack and Johnny got on to play some PUBG. I felt like I did okay, but I still have trouble with team awareness. I guess I’m just used to going alone these days.

I’m a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. So hail Satan, and have a lovely day, madam.

I guess I’m goin’ alone

Nothing remarkable about today. I even came home to eat a leftover hot dog for lunch. Then it was leftover spring rolls at my parents’ house for dinner.
 
Hope cancelled the float trip on me because nobody else wanted to go. I had just filled out the paperwork to take the day off. Josh had his wisdom teeth taken out today, so I guess I’ll spend some time with him tomorrow while he recovers.

I finished watching Warcraft after work. Mediocre movie, but I thought the 3D was done superbly. Afterward, I watched Safety Not Guaranteed, which I absolutely adored.

What good is livin’ a life you’ve been given, if all you do is stand in one place.

Happy 64th Birthday, Dad!

I keep consistently getting 4th place on solo PUBG games. Like exactly 4th place.

Mom made spring rolls for dinner. Julie and Andy came over for that. I just felt bad for Dad having something he doesn’t love on both Father’s Day and his birthday this year.

I started watching Warcraft, but stopped so I could get to bed. I forced myself out of bed after about three and a half hours of sleep last night so I wouldn’t stay up all night tonight, but after yesterday I’ve been feeling a cold of some sort coming on. Maybe a normal amount of sleep tonight will help me clear that up.

Everything’s a meme.

Late to Rise and Late to Bed…

I slept in until around noon today, which makes for difficulty getting to sleep.

I played my first solo game of PUBG and made fourth place, so that was a little exciting. Then Mom texted and said they were coming over. I showed them the first part of The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D until she decided it was time to go. Josh came over after he got off work to check out the new TV as well, and then we went to Mulan’s for dinner. I hadn’t been there in ages, and ate way too much.

After dinner, he dropped me off at home and I played a couple more rounds of PUBG with him and Randell before messing around with Kodi the rest of the evening.

…Makes Me Feel like I am Dead

There’s lonely voices, like a scarecrow.

We finally moved my computers to their respective buildings this morning. Unfortunately I’m still waiting on cables and/or adapters.

Fat Daddy’s pork and chicken BBQ spud for lunch.

Overwatch, then PUBG with Josh and Johnny.

I do this from time to time, where I can never wake from a bad dream.

The Excavator

I’m not really caught up yet at work, but I’m not feeling the stress any more. Maybe I’ve just accepted my fate. Things still haven’t settled into any kind of groove yet because I’m assuming everyone still has early-year stuff going on. It’s kind of frustrating to find solitaire running on your team leader’s computer when you’re helping him do something, but I’ll choose to believe he was just getting ready to play it during his lunch hour.

I took a couple gallon bags of leftover hot dogs from the junior high because I didn’t figure anyone else would eat them. I guess that’s my life now. Maybe I can retrain myself to start saving all of my money again.

After work, I came home and mostly just lost track of my evening digging through my entire house looking for a 50 foot HDMI cable I bought a few years ago. I got enough of my desk cleared off for my home theater receiver, so I finally have sound coming out of my JBL Studio 530 speakers and sub. I never did find my 50 foot cable, but that really would have been too long anyway. I just need 7 or 8 feet to reach my PC.

I also found a bit of inspiration.

I’m jumping off of the world now. I’ll never stop; never slow down.

Little Sleep and Big Expectations

I only got about four hours of sleep last night. Waking up wasn’t terrible, though, and I didn’t have to drag myself out of bed like I sometimes do. Everything’s still here. Just how I left it. I ended up staying at work about three and a half hours late trying to catch up. I’ll get there some day.

Dad went to Uncle Rick’s to get my pillow back for me, which was super nice of him. I told him it wasn’t urgent, but I guess he felt bad, and didn’t have much else going on for the remainder of the week he’s taken off. I went by my parents’ house to pick it up after I finally left work, and then came home to some of the Blackhorse Pub Vanilla Cream Ale I picked up this weekend. From there, it was Overwatch all evening until Jack and Johnny got on to play a round of PUBG. Now it’s time to put this rattling mind to rest.

I get along without you very well.

The Return to Somewhere Like Home

Today’s the day we packed the RV and came home. I didn’t really miss it. The RV was pretty comfortable for the past four, going on five days. The only things I had waiting for me were the cats, fish, and work. I really almost didn’t want to come back.

The trip didn’t feel long from the back of the motorhome. It didn’t really feel like a long trip on the way up, either. It’s nice being able to stretch and move around on a trip. It made me really think I might be able to pull off living on a boat. I played Link to the Past most of the way home on my old Game Boy Advance. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever finish the game, because that’s my habit – play a game for a while, and then never pick it up again until I’ve forgotten where I am and have to start over.

Dad made the mistake of packing my pillow away in the RV, so it didn’t make it home. Fortunately I bought a pair, but I’m a bit worried I’ll bring fleas home with it when I finally get it back. Bác Vân called just as I was unloading my suitcase from the car and offered some egg rolls, so I went next door to pick them up, then came inside to do a bunch of laundry. I left my suitcase and duffle bag outside for now, just in case they got covered up in fleas. Things like that just make me hate having pets even more.

I still haven’t had much time to compose my time lapse video from the eclipse, but it’ll happen soon. I guess for now I should try and get some sleep.

It just doesn’t feel like home.
