Tonight,I am feeling a little bit better.I had a pretty decent day today.I ran a small errand for my mom and I also did something for myself.It wasn't anything much.I simply judt did what I had to do and that was it.The day,weatherwise,was pretty cold but it was not freezing.It was mild but it felt like it was freezing just a tad.A pretty decent day.
I also had myself a late but light lunch.I had a Wendy's burger today.It was pretty good.It was something to tie me over until dinner.After I did all of this,I headed for home.
We had a light dinner.It was baked chicken with scalloped potatoes and beans.It was nice and filling.After dinner,I finished my personal computer work that I started earlier.
I am now at home relaxing.I am just getting ready for the night.I am going to be singing up a storm for the crowd.I am looking forward to this.I always look forward to singing up a storm.I am anticipating a pretty good time and I am hoping that the evening goes well.Though I rarely,if ever,have an off night,I still hope for things to go well.You never know what might happen.Still,I have a feeling that it will be a wonderful evening.But I always continue to hope for everything to go well no matter what.
As for Sunday,I am hoping to get together with a friend who I talked with last week.If it happens,I hope that it is a wonderful time.
That was my day today and my hopes for tonight and the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling a little bit better.I had a pretty good day today.The work day went by a lot smoother than yesterday.Nobody left their work for me to finish.That was great.I simply did the work that I needed to do and that was it.After my shift was over,I simply bagged the clean laundry and dropped it off at the drug/alcohol rehab center and went to cash my paycheck.I also got a few Buffalo Sabres themed DVD's as a freebie at the bank where I cashed it.I got one for myself and a couple more for my nephews.I am going to surprise them this Christmas when I give them as gifts alongside the usual CD's that I give.After doing that,I headed for home.
When I got home,I did some personal computer work for a while before dinner.I had to register some bills at Where's George and I did some e-mail work.
While I was eating my dinner,I did a scan on my computer to check for viruses and spyware and there were two viruses in my database.They were both Trojan.Byte Verify viruses and according to the Symantic website,they were mild but were still a low risk.I had to restart my compute two times with the system recovery turned off to get rid of them.I also deleted my temporary internet files and deleted cookies at the same time.I also checked my Norton program to delete these viruses that were captured in my system and did another scan.The result from the new scan was that the viruses were successfully removed.
While the initial scan was going on,I was upstairs in my room making my mom a CD for Christmas.I was burning her vinyl copy of Christmas With Eddy Arnold onto the CD-R.I tried out by sampling some of the music track by track and it sounded pretty good.I know that my mom will be surprised when she hears this on the CD-R that I burned for her.I will be doing another one for her later on.It will be Mario Lanza singing Christmas carols.It is also on a vinyl record and I know that she will be surprised.
I am now at home relaxing.I am anticipating the weekend,which I am glad is here.I will be doing my usual entertaining the crowd on Saturday night and I am hoping that it goes well.I always look forward to singing for the crowd every Saturday night.I am hoping that the night goes well.
Earlier this evening,I went out to an A.J.Wright store in my area and I picked up a mini keychain digital camera and I can hardly wait to use it.I have to upload the program that was included with the camera when I got it.I can hardly wait to do that.I also picked up a couple of big cans of sweet potatoes so my mom can prepare them for Thanksgiving,which is next Thursday.I also have the entire holiday weekend off and that is great.I can use a break from all of the hustle and bustle from this week.It will be great.
That was my day today and my hopes for the weekend ahead and the upcoming holiday weekend.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay with a little bit of edginess.I was hoping for a great work day but that all ended when I arrived at the work and found that the person from the previous day did not finish his job.I had to finish it for him.He overloaded one of the washers and one of the dryers.This really put my schedule out of proportion.I had to finish his job before I could do anything.First,I had to separate the load in the dryer.I had to take one of the articles out and put it in the other dryer due to dampness.I had to start with only a small load due to the fact of the other washer being overloaded.When those loads were done,I had to once again separate the loads and put each separate load in the dryer.This really was not too thrilling.I mean,I try to do my job and try my best to finish it.But when somebody does not finish their job,it does put me at edge.Fortunately,I managed to get everything done in the time period that I had to do it and I also informed the supervisor's about this morning.They again said that the would look into it.After I was done,I dropped off the laundry and I also went to the post office to mail out an important letter for my mom before heading home.
After I got home,I rested for a bit and did some personal computer work.I also helped my mom get a few things for a birthday party.One of my grand-nieces and my niece alongside my brother in law were celebrating birthdays tonight so my mom went over there for a while.After I dropped my mom off at my niece's house,I went home because I did not feel too good.I had the runs twice and I had to take medicine for it.I did manage to eat dinner but I still had a gnawing pain in my stomach that lasted for a while.I am hoping to feel better before the night is over.
While my mom was over at my niece's,I spent some time home alone and caught up on some much needed stuff.It was great to have some quiet time in the house.I did not even turn on the TV during this time.I actually felt better emotionally and I am hoping that the day tomorrow is a great one.
Tomorrow is another work day.I am hoping that the shift goes well.After that,it's the weekend.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling mixed emotions.I had a pretty topsy-turvy day today.First of all,the laundry pick up went smoothly.There was no mess to clean up and that was great.I sorted out the laundry at the work site and afterwards,I went shopping for my mom to pick up some last minuet stuff before the holiday.So far,the day was going by pretty good.
But that all changed when I had an experience with an inconsiderate Canadian driver in the parking lot of a Target department store in my area.I was going straight in the parking lot when all of a sudden,he had the nerve to make a left turn while I was going straight.According to law in the area I live alone,people driving straight have the right of way in any situation,including a parking lot.An argument ensued between him and I,with him almost threatening me out loud.If it weren't for the department store security guard getting involved,it would have probably turned uglier than it was already.I simply continued to my original destination,which was the bank and I withdrew some money for my mom.
One thing,I don't mind Canadians coming here to shop.But at least they should be courteous by obeying the laws,including those pertaining to driving.Too many times when Canadians have come here to shop,they have broken driving laws and have caused accidents as a result of breaking them.Not only that,they also throw trash around everywhere when they do shop rather than use the proper receptacles to throw their trash in.I have sen trash left by them when I am driving on certain roads in my area where a shopping mall is at and I have had to swerve past where the trash was so I would not hit it and it would cause me to swerve and hit something causing damage to my vehicle.
Before I did the pick-up,I went to my insurance agent to pay the renewal fee on my auto insurance.I also had to return later in the day to pick up change because my agent's receptionists were not in the office earlier in the day.But I am glad that this has been paid and I await the next bill.
Tonight's support group meeting at the church went great.It was wonderful to let loose some more emotional baggage once again.It was great to be heard and also to hear what the other men had to say.I am also sad to say that in a couple of weeks,the meetings will no longer be there due to a lack of attendance at the meetings as of late.But I did talk with one of the men in the group,they are hoping that another group will be stared at another church and they will let me know when that starts.I am looking forward to hearing when it will start.I will be checking next week to see when it will be a go.
Tomorrow is a work day.I am hoping that the shift goes well.I also have to help my mom with a few things tomorrow after work.I am hoping that tomorrow goes better than today.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had a pretty good day today.The work day went by smoothly but I was tired when I got in.I had an awful lot of work to do.I picked up four heaping and heavy bags of laundry today.It was a chore getting them to the car.But I managed.When I got to the work site,I sorted everything out,which took me nealy half an hour to do.I started a couple loads the minute that I was finished with that.It was an awful lot of laundry and it was a chore getting it to teh site after the pick-up.But I managed to get everything that I needed to get done accomplished.But I was tired by the end of the day.After I dropped the laundry off,I simply went home to relax.I was tired and I needed to rest.I was planning to go to the laundromat to get some of my laundry done but didn't get to that.Hopefully,I'll get that done on Thursday.
I am now at home relaxing.I am simply getting ready for bed.I am also anticipating the next day.I have to do a pick-up as usual tomorrow morning and I also have to run an errand for my mom after I am done doing that.I also have my weekly Wednesday night support group meeting at the church tomorrow night.I am hoping that all will go well tomorrow.
I have been on an emotional roller coaster ride lately.I am working on rebounding.I am hoping that things will get better as the days progress.I will be paying my car insurance renewal tomorrow.I am also hoping that my niece is careful where she parks the next time.I can not afford any hassles from the police department in any area.That would not sit well with me.I know that for a fact.
Before the evening was through,I managed to stop at a Big Lots store in my area and bought a few more CD-R's and I even went to a supermarket in teh same area and picked up the latest copy of Ebony magazine that features an interview with Michael Jackson.I hope that it is a good read.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day tomorrow.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling pretty good.I had a not too exciting of a day today.Most of the day,I was at home because my car was in the shop.It needed to have some front break work done.Initially,I dropped it off to get the front break calipers put on and to have an oil change done.But later,I received a phone call from the garage that it also needed pads and rotors and I said okay.I also promised them another $100.00 deposit when they did that.I don't owe very much to them.It is great to have a mechanic who catches something when really needed.I drove for a while and the breaks are working great.They are working better than ever.While waiting for the repairs,I was at home for much of the day.I also went back to bed when I got home.I was still sleepy and I drove the car still half drowsy but I am fortunate that nothing happened nor did I fall asleep.I got the car there and my mechanic's step-daughter drove me home.
A friend of my mom's was here for much of the afternoon.They were having a conversation and as they talked,I was on my computer doing my personal work.When two ladies talk,it's best to let them have their talk.I also spent most of teh time upstairs in my room cleaning up.A little later,some boxes containing my 45 r.p.m.singles collection toppled over and I had to pick them up and stack the back up again.I also tried to put the in a way so at least,they would not fall again.I hope that whatever I am trying to do works.
Today was a holiday.It was Veteran's Day.There was no anger management/conflict resolution meeting today due to it being that.To take it's place,I went to a Salvation Army thrift shop in my area and picked up a few more vinyl records to add to my ever growing collection.I also managed to find a Scooby Doo air popcorn popper.I thought that it looked really neat.I now have it on display on my computer desk.I think that it makes a nice conversation piece and also,I think that it looks right on my desk.The store was having a 1/2 off sale today so I felt that this would be great to have.You never know what you'll find at those thrift shops.
Tomorrow is a work day.I am hoping that day goes by well.After work,I am going to be washing some of my clothes at the laundromat.I need to get these things clean.I am hoping that this also goes as well as I hope it will.
It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a week away starting this coming Thursday.I have a four day weekend coming up when that happens.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling pretty good.I had a pretty good day today.I visited a friend of mine that I had not seen in quite a while.I had talked with him over the phone many times and it was always great to talk with him.But seeing him face to face was really neato.I had not seen him in quite a while and he was in a very happy mood.It was great to see him and it was also great to meet his new girlfriend.His girlfriend is a very sweet doen to earth gal.Him and I talked about a lot of things.We talked about music and we both shared some music trivia.We talked for about twenty minutes.I also showed him the DVD that I have of The Paul Lynde Halloween Special with KISS on the special.After we talked and I helped him out with something,I left.He and her had some stuff that they needed to do.
Afterwards,I went to get a few slices of pizza to help tie me over until dinner.While eating them in the parking lot of a city park,I saw a 1973 Winnebago motor home in the same lot.It was in very good condition body wise and it was hard to believe that I was seeing one.I thought that most of these disappeared after a while because I hardly ever see one.But it was neat to see one after all these years.
When I got home,I relaxed and took it easy for a bit vefore having dinner.We had a light supper and it was filling.I even talked with a friend of mine who lived in New Jersey.He is doing good.I talked with him about the emotional roller coaster that I was on this week.He assured me that I will be okay.I hope that I will be.
Tonight,I did mange to go to the place where I entertain at to have a friendly drink.When I got there,I was the only one there because there was a dart tournament going on somewhere else.It was great to talk with the bartender there and have a nice drink while talking to her.While I was talking with her,another person came in while they were on their way home from work.He stopped to also have a drink and we talked for a bit.After I finished,I bid them a fond farewell and left.I stopped for gas at a convienience store on the way home and I also stopped at an all night supermarket to pick up a few things.Overall,a pretty good day and night.
Tomorrow is a holiday.There will be no anger management/conflict resolution group meeting tomorrow due to it being a holiday.But I still have my Wednesday night support group meeting at the church to look forward to.
That was my day today and my night tonight.FJ
