“…Labor peace was restored to the NFL when the owners agreed to the players’ union proposal Wednesday, extending the collective bargaining agreement for six years.
There were no further details on the agreement, including whether it includes expanded revenue sharing.
The vote was 30-2, with Buffalo and Cincinnati, two low-revenue teams, voting against it…â€
Thank The Gods!!!

I guess no matter how hard I try not to kill, it just come naturally to me, so here is this journal I will confess my deeds to all of the world.
We have 2 garden hoses, one has been stored on a hose reel and the other has just been wrapped upon itself on the ground since we moved to FL. Well the one on the reel has been leaking since we moved down here and for whatever reason I decided to switch them out today.
So I unwrap the reel and hook up the other hose which has sat on the ground for 9 months at least, I put on the nozzle and turn the water on, it works perfectly then stops, so it dawns on me there must be leaves and crap in there so I undo the nozzle and a shit load of crap comes out including a gecko lizard. It was pretty small and just sat where it landed so I touch it to see if its alive and it takes off…..whew…
Then I notice the nozzle has a tail sticking out of it and see another larger gecko is in my nozzle. I try to get him to come out, but I know better then to pull on its tail, so I nock it against the hose a few times and then figure out it is more then likely dead… and its head is caught in the moving parts of the nozzle, I try to take the nozzle apart, but no dice so I need a new nozzle and I need to bury a lizard.
After I deal with that body I decide to reel in my hose and while doing so I move the stand it is on and see the other smaller gecko bolt from under it to my foot, which at the time I was off balance and had all my weight on the other foot and was trying to get my balance and sure enough…. As soon as it bolts I get my other foot down and yep…Killed it…
I lived in FL for 1 year and 9 months and in all that time I have never gotten close to touching a gecko until today and I kill 2 in 5 mins….
Parents lock up your children tonight; there is a murderous madman on the loose…

I spent the day getting some cleaning done around the house. I scrubbed the hell out of the bathrooms, got the whole house vaccumed, mopped the floors and got the laundry caught up. Harold did some yard work, just to get away from the pc for a little while. It felt good to get some work done.
Harold took the truck in so now all the major stuff is done except for the front tires/alignment. I still need to get the fog light fixed, Harold thought we were going to wait on that, since we didn’t know how long it would take, so it didn’t get done. I’ll see about getting either the fog light or the tires done on my next week day off. I want all of it done and out of the way. So the only thing we need to worry about is the oil changes. =)
After all that I decided to take a break for some me time. I started to re-read Year 6 of Harry Potter. Some times it is good just to lose yourself, but I think I was also avoiding the taxes. =( I do have the weekend off so they will get done & I need to get a few letters/notes out. Until then I’ll just be working.
I cracked the hell out of my pinky nail last week. I glued it knowing that it was just the arylic. Well yesterday at work I jarred it and it hurt. Today when starting on the bathrooms……ouch….that is all she wrote. It is the 1st time I every went to the skin. It was hanging on by the smallest part of the nail, so I had to be very careful on removing it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to have an arylic on it for awhile. If I had been able to get through today without ripping it, I would’ve been fine on getting it fixed tomorrow. So now I’m going to wait to Friday to see how far my nail heals. If not I’ll just get the rest of them done for now.
Time to do some more reading. =)

I had very well earned day off today.
Yesterday was a rough day at work, in just it seemed like I couldn’t get anything done, found out that they cut our labor budget again……….gggrrrr…….I don’t know how they expect us to get anything done and then I had to deal with a difficult client.
No one cares for this client, they expect us to change our own personal habits just to suit her and I don’t think so. She wants to talk to the management above us and I have communciated that to them. It isn’t my fault that they haven’t contacted her, but I’m sick and tired of them avoiding her and I’m the one stuck dealing with her……gggrrrr
It helped when my boss came that I was able to vent to her. It did wonders for me and then I was actually able to get some work done. So I didn’t feel as my day was a complete waste.
Today we started with a bike ride. We were doing good but on the way home my tire blew. =( We ended up walking that last mile or so. So for the second time in 2 weeks we took my bike in. They don’t know if the problem was from when they replaced my rim or not. But they replaced my rim liner and tube for free, so I can use my bike tomorrow.
We had some errands to run and then went and did some grocery shopping. Boy we did some grocery shopping……….lol We do the bulk of our shopping once every 2 weeks, so it ends up being a nice size. It is actually kind of nice to only have to do about once every couple of weeks. Means we spend less time in the stores. =)
We have an appointment for the truck Monday. I can’t wait for it to be done cuz the only thing that will be left is to get 2 new front tires and an oil change and we should be good to go for a while. Thankfully.
