Dark & Early

Been busy since my last writing. Trying not to get worked up over politics since I’m in the minority where I live. I’m an Independent living in a land of conservatives. Not a safe place to be in this day and age. I will say that I’m not a fan of Newt. My conservative Christian friends give him a free pass, why I don’t know, it’s disgusting. I’ll keep it at that. I can’t rant like my conservative friends, because I’m not allowed that same freedom that they have. If I rant, I actually put myself at great risk personally and professionally. It’s not fair, but it’s how it works.

I’ve felt a little better off and on this past week. Right now I’m having some head and ear pain. Not sure what that’s all about, but it’s not fun.

I’ve been extremely busy at work. I guess that’s good, hopefully it means job security.  I hope so anyway.

Well, not to be a complete bummer this week, I did manage to get my hands on the Chubby Checker twisting video from the 13th. I know people who had smartphones couldn’t watch it, so here it is in all it’s glory!

I’m still here. Just haven’t updated things in a while. Been really busy at work, and have been drained for whatever reason since my Christmastime illness. I’m still enjoying different kinds of teas.

I have spent some of my free time playing Skyrim. That is a great game. Probably one of my all time favorites already. Playing just a little bit of World of Warcraft, but taking a much needed break before I get really burned out on it. Hopefully Diablo III will come out about the time I make it through Skyrim with my first character.

One highlight I have to share. I got to meet, and dance with Chubby Checker on live TV!

I’ll try to post the video when I can get my hands on it in a YouTube friendly format. It’s actually very funny!

I’ve been sick for a whole week now. I’m a bit better today, more energy, but my ears are stopped up. Since I wasn’t contagious, I made sure I worked all week. Can’t really call in tired, even if I am sick.

I did discover one good thing this week. Celestial Seasonings Morning Thunder Tea. That tea has some kick! I really like it. I’m glad that I started drinking hot tea. Gives me something to look forward to every day.

Didn’t make a lot of progress in Skyrim this week. Played just a little at a time, but haven’t felt well enough to play a lot. Same thing with my bass playing.

I hope everyone has a good new year. Take care of yourselves.

I hope everyone is having a good Christmas, regardless of what you believe. Even though I do not practice organized religion anymore, Christmas is still a special time.

For the second year in a row, I’m sick for Christmas. That really takes a lot of the enjoyment out of the day. I really made it a point to take care of myself this year and not get sick, but unfortunately I still got really sick Friday night, and I’m still sick today. I have to get better before work tomorrow, so I’m drinking lots of hot herbal tea. If nothing else, it helps soothe the throat. Two years ago, my grandma passed away. I guess there’s always hoping for next year.
