The House Divided

You want to understand how I feel about my Bears and my Colts, this article explains it pretty well : Illinois-Indiana fan loyalties divided

Makes it harder that my family is from the Chicago area, even though my immediate family is now right down the road from Indy. But being a fan of the Colts started at the same time as the Bears when we moved back to the states to Aberdeen Proving Grounds, about 40 miles north of Baltimore in ’80. I want my Colts to win, but it won’t upset me terribly if the Bears won.

Unmotivated

I really don’t want to go to work.  I hate working the late shift on the weekend.  I hope for an easy evening….keep your fingers crossed.

The good thing is that I have Monday off.  So I hope that we get things back on track then, because this is getting old and not getting us anywhere.  I hate having my wheels spinning and nothing moving.

I did actually get a few things done this morning.  I attacked the dishes, laundry and did a quick vacuum so the worst of it is up.

I can’t wait for next weekend.  I have it off!  Yes, and we have the SuperBowl.  Last year I got stuck working it, and there is no way in hell that I am this year, especially with 2 teams that I love.

I’m horrible, I have 2 birthday cards sitting on my desk, just waiting for me to send them out and I have yet to take them out of the bag.  One was late to begin with but the 2nd one…………well, I could’ve had it out on time but lost track of it.

I’m glad I’m working Wednesday; it would 1 year that we lost Aurora.  I need something to keep my mind off of it, although it is already sneaking in.

I guess I better motivate myself to finish getting ready for work…….fun, fun…..

Nothing much going on here

Well, for about 3-4 days in a row I didn’t have my morning coughing fits.  That was cool, but I did sleep longer then normal.  The only thing I can think of it that I’m still fighting the ickys.  I still have a few twinges but still doing so much better.

Today was my day off, didn’t do too much.  We did take the truck in for an oil change and a go over.  Stopped by the camera shop to check out a few things, which was a great reason to stop by the Japanese steakhouse that is located near by………grin  We love that place and haven’t been there in a while.

It has gotten chilly down here.  We actually had to turn on the heat yesterday.  We have it on now set really low.

I did have time to set up laptop on the patio and got my messages caught up.

I have my mind full of stuff that I can’t throw out here……it is driving me nuts.

I have been comparing the 3 different models of the Olympus stylus.  There are barely any real differences that matter to me.  So if I get the 740, I can at least get it in blue…………grin  I’m probably going to get it in the next few weeks.  I’m so looking forward to it. =)

Now if I can just get myself motivated to get some work done.

Remembrance

I tried not to think about it, but the 20th was my late Grandma Schinkel’s birthday.  I miss her.

Ever get the “someone is watching me” feeling?

And here is Reggie Miller, as I call him most of the time, “the boy” (Think of Homer talking about Bart), sniffing a stick today, I live such an exciting life.
