Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had a pretty good day today.
I had only one errand to run.I had to pick up a few things from a local drug store that were needed in the home.The weather was rainy for much of the day so I waited for the rain to calm down so I could go out and get the stuff.It was a very good walk and I managed to get everything that was needed.I headed straight home afterwards.
When I got home,I relaxed for a bit and I had a light dinner.While eating,we watched the special Nestor,The Long Eared Christmas Donkey on DVD.The holiday season is almost over and so,my mom and I are simply rewatching what we can until after New Year's Day is over,which will be the official end of the holiday season for another year.Overall,this holiday season,despite the setbacks,was very good.I enjoyed it and everybody was happy.
The only unfortunate thing to happen was that my father came into town unexpectedly.He came into town yesterday looking for me,but I was working.He is currently at my sister's house and will be leaving for North Carolina tomorrow morning.He just wanted to stop in and say Hello and now,he is going back home.Though I really didn't want to,I called my sister's house and talked with him for a bit.But he is going back home tomorrow morning and I hope that he makes it home safely.
As I stated yesterday,I will be staying home tonight due to the fact that I still haven't got my 4X4 back on the road as of yet.But I am hoping that it will be ready on Monday so I can at least go out on New Year's Eve.I am hoping.
As for tomorrow,I am just going to stay home and take it easy.
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 shift went smoothly and fast.I did not have too much to do today.I did what I had to do in the short period of time that I had.They also let me off early because there was really nothing going on and most of the people who worked at the offices were all home on holiday break.But I managed to get some work done and that was great.Not only that,there was also a radio on and the station that they had it on was still playing some holiday music because I guess that there were still some people celebrating somewhere and that is cool.
After I cashed my paycheck,I walked home from the bank after I went to a nearby Burger King to use the restroom.It wasn't a very long walk and I got to at least exercise.It was also not too cold out because of some of the warm weather that we had.We had lots of rain on Christmas Eve and it did melt some of the snow and ice.But it did cool down but not to the point where it was freezing.But there are still some icy patches here and there and it is still pretty slippery in some spots around.But we are supposed to get some more warm rain tomorrow and it will melt some more of the mess that we got from the blizzard that we had for much of last week and early this week.
I laid down for much of the afternoon when I got home.I also had a light dinner of homemade soup that my mom made.It was awesome.My mom and I also watched some more holiday themed videos and DVD's.There were mostly reruns on the TV tonight and we decided that these were a reasonable substitution.Reruns can be quite boring and sometimes,there isn't an awful lot of choice when they come on.But my mom and I felt that watching holiday specials on video and DVD were better than that.We still have some snow on the ground and it still feels like the holiday season.The feeling never really goes away until Spring hits and all the snow melts.But that is the way it goes.
I still don't have my 4X4 back as of yet.But I am hoping that Monday will be the day I get it back on the road.As a result of that,I will have to stay home tomorrow night again.But I am hoping to go back out and sing for my friends next week or even better yet,New Year's Eve.
That was my day today and my plans for the day ahead.FJ

Merry Christmas,Everybody!
Tonight,I am feeling a little bit better.Though I am still feeling over the edge over the situation regarding my vehicle,I am feeling hopeful and optimistic.
The holiday today went surprisingly well.I really wasn't expecting much today but I got a lot.Of course,I didn't get too much today but seeing everyone happy when they got what I bought for them was better than nothing and it made me feel good.I actually forgot about my situation.I also had a nice dinner and I felt full even with only one helping.But it was wonderful.
At the moment,I am home.The holiday is almost over and I am now anticipating the work day tomorrow.
When we got home,my mom and I watched a few holiday specials on video and DVD.It was neat.The last one that we watched was Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July.It is about when two of Christmas time's most popular icons Rudolph and Frosty's family decide to take part in a 4th of July circus with the hopes that Santa Claus will come and take them back home to the North Pole when the whole affair is over.But there is evil afoot because an evil winter magician wants to end the icon's lives for good and is also behind this whole plot to let them do the performance so he can do just that.It is a very interesting crossover and it is always worth watching each and every Christmas season.Overall,it was a wonderful holiday today.
When the holiday officially ends tonight at midnight,I have to be prepared to go back to work tomorrow.I will be sleeping when the clock strikes midnight.But I am hoping that the shift goes smoothly and that everything will start working out for me again before the year draws to a close,including getting my 4X4 back soon so I can get my life back on track.I am sick of being at home each and every weekend and I am now facing the concept of staying home and missing the New Year's party at the place where I entertain the crowd.This is what not having my vehicle is doing to me.The only thing that needs to be done is a simple ball joint job.But it hasn't been done as of yet and it has been driving me up the wall.I am hoping that by Monday when I bring some money into the garage as a payment,that my 4X4 has the ball joint on and I can drive it again and I will have my life back.I can only hope.
As previously stated,tomorrow is return to work day after the holiday today.I am hoping that the shift goes well.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead and that I will have my vehicle back finally on Monday.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling mixed emotions.I had a pretty so-so day today.
Today was my day off.I simply did some catching up on some shopping.It was an accomplishment.Since I haven't had a vehicle for much of the month(as of this writing,I still don't have a vehicle),I couldn't do much of what I wanted to do.I have missed some very great things this month because of me not having a vehicle.I am feeling really angry at the moment because my mechanic's assistant at the garage hasn't gotten around to it and I keep getting the same old "BULLSHIT STORY!!!!" as to why he hasn't started it yet.I understand that he is all alone there and that he is only one man.But my 4X4 has been there for over a month.The fuel leak has been fixed but it is in desperate need of that new ball joint on the driver side.Since we have been having some treacherous winter weather lately,I don't want to take any chances.A bad ball joint is bad news because it means that the vehicle is not safe.I am afraid that I could be endangering the lives of other drivers and even pedestrians as a result of this.I don't want to put other people's lives in danger nor do I want to endanger myself.This is a big deal to me because I am trying to love my neighbor and I feel that this is the best way I can do that.They have been insisting that I drive the vehicle with that bad ball joint on it but I keep saying NO.I feel that they are not being considerate of my feelings regarding this.Again,I don't want to hurt nobody.I just want my vehicle to be safe and I want it to be totally fixed so it will be.The minute that the ball joint is on my vehicle,it will be safe.Right now,it isn't.As I am writing this,my anger is really INTENSE!I don't want to be angry.I want to feel joy and happiness.But right now,I am not feeling that way.I am hoping that I can get some answers on Monday when I have to bring in some money.I just want this whole thing to be over with so I can have my vehicle back and I can start driving as well as getting my life back on track.I haven't had a real life since this whole thing happened and I am feeling INTENSELY ANGRY as a result.I want my 4X4 back and I want it to be safe for driving.I feel that I am not asking for too much.
As for the shopping,I got practically everything that I needed to get.My shopping is now complete.It took a bit of doing but I am glad to get that done.The only thing that I need is for my vehicle to be back on the road.I have to wait another weekend.But I am hoping that this can get finished and I can drive it without feeling any source of guilt or fear.
Tomorrow is Christmas.I am hoping that the day will go greatly and that everything will work out for the better.I could use a nice holiday in helping me get over this whole thing that I am going through right now.
That was my day today and my hopes for the holiday ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling pretty good.I had a pretty good day today.
The work day went smoothly.I did quite a bit in the period of time that I had.After the work day had ended,with help from a job coach,I dropped off some clean laundry at the rehab center and was dropped off at a nearby transit center to take the bus home.
When I got home,I helped my mom out with a few little things and I made my bed.I also finished my personal PC work.I was glad to get that accomplished.
After I ate a light dinner,I watched some TV for a bit and I went to the movies.I went to see the movie Quarantine and I enjoyed it immensely.It was well worth waiting for to come to the local bargain theater that I like to go to when movies come there to be shown.It had been a long wait and the wait was well worth it.I enjoyed it immensely and I was glad to have gotten out to see this film.I am now waiting for it to come out on DVD.It will be quite a while but it will be well worth it.
I have the day off tomorrow.I am hoping to finally get some shopping done and I am also hoping to get a lot of things out of the way so I can finally take it easy and enjoy the holiday.I am hoping that the holiday is truly a great one indeed.I will also be checking with the garage to see if my 4X4 will be ready tomorrow.I can hardly wait for that.If I start driving it again,I hope that I will not have any problems for a long time.I have to go to the garage to drop some money off tomorrow and I am hoping that my vehicle will be ready by tomorrow as they promise.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had a not too eventful of a day today.
Today was my day off.I did not have too much to do.I was hoping to drop off some money to my mechanic today but the weather kept me home.The wind was really blowing and it was COLD!!!!But I am hoping to drop the money off Wednesday morning after I wake up.I am still hoping to get to the movies that night and I am not going to let nothing stop me from seeing the movie Quarantine.I have been dying to see this movie for a long time and I am determined to see it.As stated,I am hoping that this is a very good film.
The only thing that I really did today was that I shoveled the walk for my mom today and also for the mail person so they will have an open walk to bring the mail.Apparently,we didn't receive any mail today but that is cool.We were'nt expecting anything much anyway so that is cool.At least,I shoveled the sidewalk and that is better than doing nothing.
We are supposed to get warmer temperatures in the midst of this week.Apparently,though the temps will be warmer on Wednesday,we are supposed to get snow and sleet.But again,it will be warmer and that will be nice.We are supposed to get rain on Wednesday night before Christmas.That will be a nice change of pace.
I am hoping to have my vehicle back on Wednesday.According to my mechanic's step-daughter,the ball joint is supposed to go on my 4X4 on Wednesday.I hope that this can be done.I have been without my vehicle for over a month and I am going crazy without it.I hope that it can be fixed by Wednesday.
I am now relaxing and hoping for the next day.
Tomorrow is a work day.I hope that the day goes well.I am also hoping that I can get to Wal-Mart after work and get a few things for the holidays.
That was my day today and my hopes for the day ahead.FJ

Tonight,I am feeling okay.I had another hectic day today.
Today,I only went out once to run an errand for myself and my mom.It was to simply go to the drug store to pick up a few prescriptions and to buy another bag of salsa tortilla Combos.It was a chore just getting to that drug store.It was because that the winter storm that we started on Friday has revamped itself and is now wreaking unholy havoc on the town.The wind chills are ranging from 0 to -5 below zero.The winds are blowing very violently and there is snow blowing and drifting everywhere.It has been like Hell here with all of this.It is bitterly COLD!!!!, CHILLY!!!! and very BLUSTERY.The weather pattern is going to be continuing into tomorrow.I am just hoping that this insanity ends soon.It is supposed to warm up on Wednesday into the lower 40's with rain to melt this mess all over.It won't necessarily be "The January Thaw" but it will be better than what we are going through now.This Wednesday,which will be Christmas Eve,I am hoping to go see a movie.It is the movie Quarantine,which is a remake of a 2007 Spanish thriller named Rec.I have been waiting for this movie to come for a long time since I heard about it earlier this year.Again,this Wednesday,I am hoping to go see it and I am hoping that it is a very good film.I have been dying to see this since it was released late this year.I am going to see this and again,I hope that it is a good one.
I also had a talk with a friend out of town.He is doing good and he also tells me that he is also having a horrendous weather pattern where he is living.We talked for only 10 minutes before hanging up.
Right now,I am relaxing.I have no place to go since I have no car and because it is bitterly COLD!!!!I am just going to pop a movie in and relax for a bit before going to bed.
I do have some stufff that I need to do tomorrow and I am hoping to get them done.It will be some last minute shopping that needs to be done.Again,I am hoping to get that done.It will also be my day off.
That was my day today and my hopes for the start of the new week ahead.FJ
