Happy Saturday. My insomnia kicked in early this morning and the first time I was able to get back to sleep, but the second time (a couple hours later) I wasn’t and watched some TV. Today was a free day for me so I chose to be lazy, eat a junk food breakfast, watch tv and go back to bed for a while. I woke up with plenty of time to spare. Got a shower, dressed and made the matinee of Iron Claw.
Much to my surprise the theater was packed. A small family walked in and their son, man he set off alarm bells for me. Tall and he was wearing grey sweats which did a great job of showing off his ass. I am a poor judge of age but for sure he was in High School. The scenarios that went through my mind. Oddly enough we were there to see the same film. He sat a couple rows below me.
The movie over all was great, I think it was well made. However, there were multiple suicides and they made it look like everyone was reunited that had passed. I could hear a few people sobbing. I felt bad and due to the suicides I kind of wished that I hadn’t seen it. Zac Efron did a good job but there was way too much muscle there for me to enjoy any of the shirtless scenes. I like a little muscle but looking close or even like The Incredible Hulk is a huge turn off.
After the movie I passed by Sam’s and it was packed so I kept on going to the post office. Grabbed the mail and came back home. I really hadn’t eaten anything all day and was eager to go for pizza. I wanted a little bit more time to pass to be sure that if the cute guys were working they would for sure be there.
When I arrived at the pizza place I had this genius idea like Wyle E. Coyote. The plan was to order a small pizza for there and then a large to go. Only my dumb ass thought that their small was too small so I went to a medium. Now I have an entire large plus half of a medium to eat. I like pizza but everything gets old if you have too much or have it too often. I’m sure I will never try that again, if I do I will go with the small. Thing is that I figured I would devour what was in front of me due to the fact I had eaten so little but my appetite is all over the place with this new drug. Even when I want to eat and try sometimes I change my mind. Never was like that before but if it keeps the weight off I am okay so long as my sugar doesn’t bottom out and that hasn’t happened in months now.
The cute guys I like were all working and I got to inspect the goods. Really good looking cakes. Shame I couldn’t take a few photos. I’ve got a major crush on one guy and again I’m a poor judge of age. I think he’s legal but I don’t want to ask not only to be turned down because he’s straight but also because he’s not legal. It’s one of those situations where it’s better to remain silent. It’s a huge struggle for me because I am a talker.
I drove through the subdivision to peek at the holiday lights. Lots of creativity. Some houses were subtle and light and others made it obvious. I like looking at the lights but never seem to manage to get out in time. There are lots of homes around that go all out. Me and my late spouse used to make the rounds but ever since he passed it’s not something I do by myself.
My friends reached out about their open house on New Years Day and wanted to know if I was coming. I said yes. I missed them at Christmas but really don’t want to hear the same stories over again, get aggravated by their neighbor who loves to poke fun at me but doesn’t quite know his limits. I want to fuck him up sometimes because he really crosses the line and once he knows he’s made me angry he just doesn’t let up. There will be a way different crowd that stops by for the Open House. They are starting kind of late I think at 11am and it usually goes until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Then they kick everyone out and start the clean up process. So at least I kind of have something to look forward to.
What really sucks is that Tuesday it’s back to work. My childhood friends mom that passed away has a funeral mass on Friday. I really want to go but it’s quite the haul for me and then the reception is even further out. I for sure would need the entire day off. I think I would probably feel out of place if I go but if I don’t I will feel that catholic guilt. Kind of damned if I do and damned if I don’t.
Tomorrow is my big work day that I look forward to but also dread at the same time. I’ve informed Rudy that I need to get up early so hopefully he doesn’t fall down on the job. I don’t set an alarm clock on the weekends. My plan is to go out for breakfast and enjoy. Then hit up Target, the grocery store and gas station. Come home and I am done with running for the day, unless I change my mind later and want to go out if for some reason I don’t feel like eating left over pizza. Then rest for a bit, work on laundry and cleaning the house. I’ve got reminders set for when I need to jump into action in mid-morning then I get a break and the real work is all done at 5p. It should take me maybe an hour or hour and a half. Then I am done with work for this year.
Finally, what would a post here be without a complaint. I went to make changes to my U-verse line up and of course that ability has been taken away from being able to be done on-line. Your referred to use your TV remote to upgrade. Yeah I don’t want to upgrade I want to downgrade, don’t ya know you can’t do that through the TV. I saw something else that referred me to make changes through the app, that doesn’t work either. On line there is a button that says make changes but when you click it your redirected to a help screen. I’ve tried to make changes on-line using three different computers and all three got the same results. I used to be able to make changes on-line but I suppose they figure that if people really want to downgrade they will call. I don’t have the greatest luck in talking to people when it comes to making service changes they always seem to mess something up. For now things are staying as is. I was just looking to try to save a little bit. If Showtime wouldn’t have taken away their stand alone app and incorporated it with Paramount Plus then I’d be okay but now that I can’t use an app to get to Showtime I really don’t need it. Of course The Circus will be back on in a few months and I will want to see it so that’s why I figure it’s better to leave well enough alone. It just made me made that I have less control over something I am paying no small sum for and expect better access. I have thought of dropping U-verse but no matter what you change to it will wind up the same. You start out with a promo rate and then after a year prices continue to increase. Kind of like buying a new car now and then getting the surprise that you have to start making payments come June. Kind of silly that we’ve all been suckered into paying for TV. When I was a kid before cable, it was free but you didn’t have a way to fast forward through commercials and you had to watch live. Hell for the longest time everything was black and white. Then one day we got a color TV and that was eye opening.
Well I think I am putting a fork in this post. Hope that it was a great day for you and that tomorrow is even better. Be safe and take care.
