End of Phase one

The closet and my bureau drawers are cleaned out and organized. At least I can say I accomplished something today. This evening Lisa, Bo and I went to Mom and Dad’s for dinner. Mom made baked ziti and a pork roast. Oh my goodness, it was so good!
I am now on my last couple days of freedom; Wednesday marks my return to gainful employment. It’s time. I have been doing not much since January. Actually, I took vacation the last two weeks of December so actually I’ve been idle before January. Wow! Truth is, I’ve kept busy; this was definitely no vacation. Well, whatever it was, it’s now over.

bladder blues

Lisa and I decided to walk around Tyler State Park again this morning. When we get back, Lisa will give Bo a bath. He really needs one, the little stinker. Last night he woke me at 2am because he had to pee. He had peed just a few hours before at 11am. My life seems to revolve around his bladder.

My closet isn’t even half way cleaned but I am getting there. I just need a break.

There’s a hole in my arm where CG goes

I’ve had enough! No more! I will clean my closet even if it kills me. How is it possible that I own so many clothes? How is it possible that I own so many clothes, wear very few of them and yet can’t seem to get rid of any of them? In just a few days I will start going to an office rather than working from home. That means I am going to need more clothes than I ever needed before. Heck, working from home I usually wore a Cabbage Patch Kids t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. That ain’t gonna cut it with this new job. Well, I will at least try to get eveything organized so I can see what I own. After a few weeks on the job, then I can determine what I need to give to the Salvation Army. That’s a plan!

Last night Lisa and I watched The Awful Truth! It was great! I really loved it. Lisa on the other hand wasn’t taken with it. Of course, I am a Cary Grant junkie.

Back Street Spoilers

Last night I watched Back Street with Susan Hayward and John Gavin. I was really in the mood for a screwball comedy, not a melodrama, but Lisa said she was interested in watching the Awful Truth (this week’s NetFlix), so I decided to hold off on it and watch Back Street instead. Susan loved John Gavin despite his drunken, slutty wife and two children. She readily accepted being his mistress if only so they could be together every now and then. In her spare time she became a very famous fashion designer. (Just like Lauren Bacall in Designing Woman!!!) Everything came to a crashing end when John’s son finds out about Susan. John has to explain why he has a lover; the son can’t handle it. Soon his slutty drunken wife finds out about her and sabotages Susan’s fashion show by announcing to the entire audience that Susan is her husband’s lover. As drunken slutty wife is about to drive away, John gets in the car with her to announce he is DEMANDING a divorce! Drunken slutty wife will not have any of this, no way! She slams her foot onto the gas and off they go careening! Weaving through the streets of Paris, John tries to pull the key from the ignition. He can’t do it, drunken slutty wife means business! She yanks the steering wheel from his grasp, just in time to plummet down a cliff! A newspaper hurtles towards the screen documenting her death and his paralysis and imminent death. He lies in a hospital bed, completely bandaged while his son cries. John tries to speak but he can’t. His son gets a pad of paper and John scratches down the words, “CALL SUSAN!!” The little boy calls his father’s mistress. Susan was unaware of the crash. The little boy holds the phone to his father’s face. “Susan…. I… love…. you….” whispers John just as he takes his final breath. “No! No! No!” she screams! Days go by and Susan glumly just sits at the country home John bought her. There is a knock at the door. Who could it be? Oh my goodness, it’s John’s son and daughter! “We have no one left and we thought maybe we can visit you when we are home from boarding school, is that alright?” “Of course children, of course!” Susan embraces the children as the image fades out! FIN!

They don’t make movies like that anymore!

dreaming swell

I dreamt I went to work at my new job. It wasn’t my real new job, instead, in my dream, I worked at a grocery store. My responsibility was putting up pretty displays at the beginning and end of each aisle. I suffered such block, I had no clue what to do or where to even begin. Somehow I found myself in the desert racing minivans. I then woke up.

tiddly winks

I had a nice day today. This morning I drove Lisa to work since her car was at the mechanic’s and then I went SHOPPING! Strawbridges is going out of business so I spent about two hours going through racks and racks of clothes marked 60-80% off. I didn’t buy much but I got some nice tops to go under the suits I recently bought. Instead of going back home, I went to my parent’s house. My father asked me to scan a picture of his mother he found the other day. At 5:00 I left my parents’ house to pick up Lisa. We went to Uno’s and had dinner. We talked about going somewhere for St Patty’s Day but decided against it. Cops will be out in force and the bars will be packed beyond packed. Lisa is tired and she went straight to bed once we got home. I think I will spend the rest of the evening watching NetFlix movies.
