This will be a collection of everything from my thoughts, to funny things I find on the net to whatever else I decide to post. From being a parent, to being a husband, to everyday life with a MS patient.
Although this is a journal of my life and times, I enjoy comments and interactions.

Here's a little look into last week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Monday</i></b> I had over 10k steps and 10 zone minutes, all at work and I didn't do anything when I got home other than get up and move every hour when my watch told me I needed to.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Tuesday</i></b> I had 12.5k steps and 32 zone minutes. Most of the 12.5k steps were at work but 30 of the zone minutes were on the bike. I ended up riding 7.24 miles. It was a nice day out and I had the playlist that I crank up when I have the windows down on the way home. After I got home, I still had the playlist going so I stayed on the bike until it was finished.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Wednesday</i></b> I had 10.5k steps but only 2 zone minutes, that was all at work as well. I got annoyed with a 1 on 1 with my boss so I wasn't in the mood when I got home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Thursday</i></b> I had 11.3k steps and 6 zone minutes, again, all at work. We went out for supper when I got home and I didn't do anything after that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You can see my work week is where I struggle, I knew I would. I did get 1 day in on the bike so it was better. We'll see if I can get better this week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Friday</i></b> I had 3.2k steps and 1 zone minute. I did ride the bike for an hour but apparently I didn't register any zone minutes for it. I just went a steady pace and sidetracked myself with going through my New Release playlist which lasted just over an hour so that worked out. I did do 13.15 miles on the bike which is the farthest I've gone this year. Not only all that but I made sure I didn't just ride the bike and sit down. I ended up being on my feet for most of the afternoon while working on my cards. At one point, I even squatted down to grab a book without realizing it. I ended up coming right back up which I couldn't tell you the last time I was able to do that without screaming in pain when I got up.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>Today</i></b>, we got up and went out for breakfast and ran a couple of errands which is usually my downfall but I forced myself to get on my bike when I got home. I was going to listen to my New to Me playlist but I noticed more songs on my New Release playlist so I went through those and a couple of artists on the New to Me before calling it quits. It ended up being around 48 minutes and for 10.27 miles.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My mom stopped by to drop off a couple of things and I told her what was going on and I told her to hit me up if she was going to go walking so hopefully that will help me do something else other than biking.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Tomorrow we have a show so I doubt I'll get on the bike, although it is the local show, maybe I'll get home in time to ride some. That's also the reason I'm posting on Saturday instead of Sunday. I knew I wouldn't be home much tomorrow.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-62508343370229107752024-03-10T11:57:00.001-04:002024-03-10T11:57:26.904-04:00Motivation<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I've been trying to motivate myself to do something, just get off my ass and move some. I do ok on the weekends because I get up, throw on a work shirt (why dirty a good one) and go downstairs and hop on the bike. Notice I didn't say put on some shorts, I do it in my boxers. Again, why dirty a pair of shorts. I did this once last weekend and had planned on getting on the bike after work during the week. That didn't work out. I work 10 hours, 1 1/2 in the car and by the time I get home, I just want to sit on my ass, there lies where I need the most motivation. Work days.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I just hate to exercise, it's not my favorite thing to do and I'm all about doing things you enjoy and not doing things I don't so it's extremely hard to get motivated. Part of my motivation is I topped 300 pounds a couple of weeks ago (2/16). I usually go up and down in the 285-295 pound range but I hadn't logged in over 300 until then. I've been weighing myself once a week since November of 2022, mainly just to make sure I didn't top that 300 pound mark and I hadn't even though I wasn't doing anything to prevent it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I see extremely obese people (not hard, they have their own shows) and my thought was always how do they get themselves that far. Well, I think I have that part figured out. Lack of motivation. So I'm trying not to get that bad.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You would think that be enough motivation, sadly, it's not.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On Friday when I got up, I went downstairs and did 11.3 miles in around 45 minutes. That's the most this year (haven't been doing it long) but my previous high was only 6.5 miles but I haven't really done it much at all, then proceeded to sit on my ass most of the day, which is my typical weekend. Although, the wife and I did load a dresser, desk and 3 nightstands in the car so there's a little bit more exercise.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Saturday, we had a card show in Fort Wayne so I get a little bit of exercise. My cousin and I carry everything in from the car and set up. He usually pulls the cart so he only goes to the car twice where as I bring all the stuff that doesn't fit in the cart. The showcases and boxes of wax so I make multiple trips to the car and back. Once inside we set up, I usually set up the newer wax while he sets up the boxes and the cheap wax. So I get a little exercise, nothing terribly exciting but it does get the heart rate up (according to my Fitbit) for 10 minutes or so. During the show, I sit and I stand. I occasionally walk around but not a whole lot. I prefer the shows where they are so busy that I don't have a chance to sit or shop but it's rare to never have a chance to sit. After the show, we pack up and load the car back up so again, 10 minutes or so of accelerated heart rate. After that I went to my sons and unloaded all the stuff we loaded up the previous day so a little bit of movement.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This morning, I did the same thing as Friday, got up, threw on a work shirt and got on the bike. I did 13.34 miles in an hour but instead of going and sitting at my laptop like I normally do, I walked around my basement for 5 minutes or so just to get the stiffness out of my legs from being on the bike. Then I went into my Card Room and stacked up some boxes on my desk so now I've been at least standing while on my laptop. When I stop typing to think about what I'm going to say, I wander around my room. It's now been 45 minutes or so since I got off the bike and I still haven't sat down. The wife got out of bed so I went upstairs to talk to her for a few and started my laundry as well so we'll see if I can sustain the movement. I don't really have much planned today so I'm not sure how long it will last. At least I'll be heading for the shower soon so there's more not sitting on my ass time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The real purpose behind this blog post is possible motivation to keep going as well. There's a girl at work who's trying to improve her life and part of that is physical so she's been trying to push me some as well. My wife pushes some and I could get my mom too as she's is always trying to stay physical. I need to reach out because I obviously can't motivate myself. The problem with other people doing it is I tend to do my own thing so I don't necessary listen to other people either.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We'll see, I'll try to keep going on here about my fat ass. I'm pretty sure I have a tag over there called fat ass that I used years ago when I tried to work out.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-62161571739627213202024-01-02T15:36:00.001-05:002024-01-02T15:36:41.829-05:00Eating Stats<p><span style="font-size: large;">I know, I'm never here anymore but I figured I should at least give you a stats post as I have most every other year. I would love to tell you that I'm going to use this blog more but I say that every year and it doesn't happen. I did make it to February last year before quitting. Sadly, that was my last post of the year. I truly just don't have much to say, I lead a pretty boring life of working and sitting in front of the TV.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I'm actually think about breaking these stats posts to multiple posts and do 1 stat a post since I've been keeping stats for awhile now and can probably make a whole post of each one since I have a bunch of years to talk about now but I don't know if that's what I'll do.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Today, I'm going to knock out restaurant stats for me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">1 time - 35th Street Red Hots, Applebees, Buffalo Wild Wings, CBP Smoke Barbque, Chick-Fil-A, Coney Express, Costco, Cristo's, Dog LB, Dominos, El Trejo, Gerace's Pizza, Hacienda, Hungry Howies, Italian Village, Krispy Kream, Mandarin Kitchen, Margaritas Mexican, Pizza Hut, Roma's Pizza & Wings ect.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">2 times - 7-Eleven, Happy's Kountry Kitchen, IHOP, Jimmie Johns, Party on the Patio, Portillo's, Puerta Vallarta, Red Lobster, Smith's Food Mart & Subway, </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">3 times - Arby's, Bravo Cafe & Mandarin House</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">4 times - Martin's Deli & Trinity UM</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">5 times - Brunos, Dairy Queen, Firehouse Subs & Long John Silvers</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">6 times - 5 Guys, Chili's & Dunkin</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">7 times - Copper Creek Cafe</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">8 times - Barnaby's & Little Caesar's</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">That's everything in the single digits, now we get to the double digits. and a countdown to the most.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">#7 - </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipnY5t8bAiQoKHHYWm-7Da6Dxssi8xCnq_fqtdWbt0I_cZwmSwoH4Kn2nBmmO0yF7KM1lV4r8daHq1Iv6uQVOXg6FbhkaUMRV_CGwE6udAQHs2aj6K_nQ62nmXvfG3SEHmOsuwosB-8QmYLESUpj6ysrDx57zqIWjDRGGfZS8VSIEpqaeeWcbGPuLEGSgJ/s200/KFC-logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="112" data-original-width="200" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipnY5t8bAiQoKHHYWm-7Da6Dxssi8xCnq_fqtdWbt0I_cZwmSwoH4Kn2nBmmO0yF7KM1lV4r8daHq1Iv6uQVOXg6FbhkaUMRV_CGwE6udAQHs2aj6K_nQ62nmXvfG3SEHmOsuwosB-8QmYLESUpj6ysrDx57zqIWjDRGGfZS8VSIEpqaeeWcbGPuLEGSgJ/s1600/KFC-logo.jpg" width="200" /></a> <span style="font-size: large;">(10 times) Last Year - 8th place (8 times).

Soap and Hot Rinse were almost empty. The Etch and the Seal were off. By the time, I got the tanks filled up and the other 2 tanks heated up, we lost a few hours. Which in an 8 hour shift, you lose a few at the beginning of the shift and you automatically lose a couple hours at the end so we didn't get much done.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After work, I got gas and then dropped off the box to F&G and he gave me 3 Walmart bags full of blasters and packs that were already open. After I finished scanning my cards, I went ahead and pulled all of the cards out of the packages and skimmed through them. I saw a bunch I'll be keeping plus a lot of decent cards so I'm not sure who took what out of them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (February 7th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The boss gave me a project to get done by Friday and I haven't been able to start it because every time I sit down to do it. I think I can knock it out pretty quick if I can just get the time to sit down to do it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home and finished the cards I brought home Monday so I'll probably run by the shop tomorrow and get more.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday (February 8th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I got the most sleep last night compared to the rest of the week but I was still tired today. Even napped a bit when I got home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I ran to F&G after work and dropped off the cards I finished and grabbed some more. He said it was mostly Cubs cards so I don't see me getting too many out of it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (February 9th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Meeting have started to fire up again which means I'll spend half my days in them again.</span></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home and Samantha was here. We chatted for about an hour and than Cheri and I ran to Lowe's to do some shopping and grabbed some supper at Sonic. Other than that, nothing too exciting.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (February 10th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was Friday, Woo Hoo! I had a couple more meetings so they are definitely picking up. I spent a couple hours sorting bodies. I'm going to feel that in the morning. I got out there around 1:15.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home, showered and shaved and then went downstairs for a couple of hours. I finished the boxes that Fred gave me but I still have to check the cards I pulled for myself, then I can put them away and I'll probably take them back on Monday.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We got the Plymouth show tomorrow. I don't think it'll be a great show, financially because the Fort Wayne show is going on as well but I don't care. I just enjoy this show. It's always a good time with good dealers.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Cheri and I ran to Culver's for some supper. Felt good to eat out for a real meal again. I was surprised that it was the 1st time we've been to Culver's this year. Probably because they ditched Mountain Dew.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (February 11th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Kevin and I did the Plymouth show. I had a really good time, better than we usually do and we always love that show. It was probably the busiest I have ever seen it and we did close or more than we ever have there. Came home with 3 cards from the show and a box of 1974 Topps to go through from Kevin.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday (February 12th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Woke up at 7 and rolled around in bed until 8 before I got up. I went downstairs and worked on getting my cards logged in most of the morning in. I still need to scan them but I plan on going over to Kevin's after work all week so I'm not sure when I'm going to do that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I went over there today and spent about 5 hours sorting all the cards we got from the Man Cave. We got through about 10 or 12 boxes and I came home </span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-85338489666558401842023-02-10T23:04:00.001-05:002023-02-10T23:04:41.928-05:00This Week - Food<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (February 4th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjM8V1Jg1maP082iHHuOVimVhnRMbu-iJ220GsHFqjxdyb8n0zFPQz_zPjbSr_mfg7QpMds1BWO5_d583Wn3F-FDyF5CHNJCtKZM3NP3QIOQgt0dgE9VO7g74e82xDoimd2DszBY_d4JfFYHRO63hYWKia84KL1W2Uwh3rmuDl26_J05pHIP8JbywMbbw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="198" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjM8V1Jg1maP082iHHuOVimVhnRMbu-iJ220GsHFqjxdyb8n0zFPQz_zPjbSr_mfg7QpMds1BWO5_d583Wn3F-FDyF5CHNJCtKZM3NP3QIOQgt0dgE9VO7g74e82xDoimd2DszBY_d4JfFYHRO63hYWKia84KL1W2Uwh3rmuDl26_J05pHIP8JbywMbbw=w198-h200" width="198" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We were set up at a show and I had my son bring us some food.

My whole crew was back, hopefully it will stay that way. The bosses boss wasn't there so that was nice but he'll be back tomorrow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ran to the card shop after work and dropped off the boxes he gave me to sort and picked up another. I came home and went to work on my cards as I want to finish them before I start the shops.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (January 31st)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Not a whole lot going on at work. We're trying to convince the plant manager to bring back 3rd shift next week. Our report is getting redder and redder by the way.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home and finished logging and scanning my cards then we headed out to Wendy's for supper.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday (February 1st)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Work was work. They finally decided to bring 3rd shift back now that we're buried. Well, the department before ours is buried, us not so much but we will be.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (February 2nd)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This section is getting smaller and smaller as I don't have much to talk about other than work and I only want to say so much on here about work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I finished the box from F&G but I still have to go through the White Sox before I organize the rest of the stuff I pulled.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (February 3rd)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I hit my 40 hours at 11:30 so I got out of work early. On my way home, Cheri called and during the conversation, I volunteered to run by Walmart and grab our groceries. I was then going to go to the pharmacy but while I was waiting for our groceries to come out to the car, I looked up the local garden center to see their hours and they closed in half an hour. Once I got my groceries, I ran out to the garden center, thinking I'd have to drive back by Walmart to go home and I'll get my drugs then. Once I left the garden center, I realized I needed to get a birthday card for my mom so I ran to Walgreens to get the card because I would rather run out of my way, go into Walgreens and go back to Walmart then to go in to Walmart to get a card. I hate that place.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home to the house by myself, went downstairs and worked on cards but since no one was home, I turned my music up and jammed to some tunes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (February 4th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Got up this morning, at 7:30. It was so nice not to have to get up super early to go to show. We set up in South Bend which was only a 20 minute drive from home. Although I had to go to his house first which means I had to help unload the car.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was a good show people wise, it got really busy for about a 2 hour stretch but it wasn't one of our best shows. We did alright, probably better than most but it was lower than what you usually do.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday (February 5th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Got up around 8:30 and headed downstairs to work on the new cards I've gotten. I've thought about using my personal Instagram for cards but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I may even start a new one, I haven't decided.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We went over to my mom's to celebrate her 71st birthday. It was actually on the 1st but we got together for lasagna, as we do every year. It was good. I got to watch the ending of the Ohio/Michigan game so that was good too.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm on my own for supper tonight which probably means I won't eat. It's not like I can't lose the weight. I got in the scale but I forgot until I was dressed so it wasn't accurate, I didn't ever record it.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-3799984447750412472023-02-03T20:42:00.000-05:002023-02-03T20:42:05.142-05:00This Week - Food<p><b><span style="font-size: large;">Saturday (January 28th)</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewfQxzlX--FcY_-oYqq2wD5LPvianC-aFPfQWkSlDyZ130E_zi6J1s7v6IL_9wJ548RI4SmKse897UFXASTWLU-x9AyKVmrC_1pl4TVDczS2cBJ1i90zVlCgHh9vVnlsNN03qaSJz4q0L9TezaPNp69gcX0oB_QNHsYb0N-4OW-O88kxpr6LXz1uzrA/s155/Screenshot%202023-01-28%207.41.19%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="141" data-original-width="155" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewfQxzlX--FcY_-oYqq2wD5LPvianC-aFPfQWkSlDyZ130E_zi6J1s7v6IL_9wJ548RI4SmKse897UFXASTWLU-x9AyKVmrC_1pl4TVDczS2cBJ1i90zVlCgHh9vVnlsNN03qaSJz4q0L9TezaPNp69gcX0oB_QNHsYb0N-4OW-O88kxpr6LXz1uzrA/s1600/Screenshot%202023-01-28%207.41.19%20PM.png" width="155" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This was just a pizza place in the mall that we were set up at for a card show.

I don't know if a power outage screwed up the system or what but 2 of the tanks were almost empty so I spent the first hour trying to get the tanks filled back up.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cheri scheduled the garage guys to come fix ours tomorrow afternoon which is perfect because there is supposed to be a storm coming in. It's only been one night parking outside and I'm already over it.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (January 24th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Nothing really special happened today. I got home right after the guy got here to fix our garage door. We're supposed to get hit with a pretty big snowstorm tomorrow morning so I'm happy to be able to park in the garage again.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday (January 25th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I stayed over 20 minutes at work trying to get some last second stuff done so I'll get to leave a little early on Friday. We called Danna back for 2 10 hour days tomorrow and Friday and we tried to call Mecario back for next week but we haven't heard back from him. If he doesn't call back then Danna will get his hours.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I came home and Cheri needed to go to JC Penny's to pick up something she ordered so we left a little early to hit CVS to pick up her pain patches then grabbed supper at Barnaby's because it was before 5 and we like to get there before the rush. We definitely did that as we were the only ones there when we got there. Which is totally different then the last time we were there and it was so loud. After that we hit Penny's and did the curbside and then headed home for the evening.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (January 26th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My boss gave me a bunch of stuff to do like I don't have anything else to do. I don't have a problem getting done what he asked other than he wants it done by tomorrow. That's probably not going to happen but whatever.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I came home and finished logging my Thomas cards and then started the sorting for the shop. I was extremely sleeping and did a lot of head bobbing while working on them. It might be an early bedtime for me tonight.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (January 27th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That stuff I was supposed to do for the boss. I didn't hardly do anything towards it. I didn't even have a chance. I had to leave a little after noon so I don't go over my 40 hours.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home and chilled with Cheri for a bit before heading downstairs to sort more cards for the local shop.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (January 28th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Kevin picked me up and we headed off to Lansing for a card show. It took about 2 hours and 20 minutes to get there but the ride was much more pleasant than last time. No backroads or constuction. The show went alright, it was really busy but the sales didn't concur with the traffic. It wasn't a bad show money wise, just not as good as we usually do there.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday (January 29th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I actually slept through the night for the first time in awhile.

We went in because he doesn't like to eat TBell while he's driving. It was good and I'd give them a green light but again, they didn't put much of anything in the taco. The Mexican pizza toppings only covered about half of it and my cheesy fiesta potatoes had sour cream all over the outside of the container. I guess I should mark them down more but at this point, I'm just happy to get everything.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Monday (January 23rd)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioG_XIXXaDvD2pblx4YOZu9a09-J5dXfUKKKSWi5XG4QNMZF2oOK4t-I_7JMiHRD8bc9gH2p1S9Yc02L6QeHdQN0MjQFIkaPt_72I_THY5B6Ufqkm7aPw-n_6Z_PE0olAM-CLXA2D_lf2-cCVVs5qDX7x0td2LOwySWDrbpolQrQd6RiQvipdk5ua_FA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="320" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEioG_XIXXaDvD2pblx4YOZu9a09-J5dXfUKKKSWi5XG4QNMZF2oOK4t-I_7JMiHRD8bc9gH2p1S9Yc02L6QeHdQN0MjQFIkaPt_72I_THY5B6Ufqkm7aPw-n_6Z_PE0olAM-CLXA2D_lf2-cCVVs5qDX7x0td2LOwySWDrbpolQrQd6RiQvipdk5ua_FA=w200-h113" width="200" /></a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The boss decided on Taco Bell this evening.

It was nice because last time we were there it was really loud. Pizza was good and we got it quick so no complaints. The girl behind the counter was pleasant. She isn't always. Not that she's mean or rude but she's usually so busy she doesn't take the time to chat. I even made a crack to her when she brought our Garlic Bread with Cheese about how she knew it was ours and she made a joke back. I'm pretty sure she's almost there every time we go.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-45126264704459763272023-01-25T21:01:00.000-05:002023-01-25T21:01:10.714-05:00This Week - Music<p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wVQGDHUAaDC-uTPtZieBjnSx5xcXpZ1usalSAGq4EnXn6lML3JO1_q-gbj-mKUT-LhMtO2Rg3IY8HCpkzljHeB2b4lQeIWtZe5fP581LR6-dRk9IRMZWzFMDJaeJLBycUqwSz3hfLtAGswoEKEXfXzadswapwVxozU__xb826YOh8Su6RmAB0llgDA/s696/Screenshot%202023-01-25%208.58.33%20PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="407" data-original-width="696" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_wVQGDHUAaDC-uTPtZieBjnSx5xcXpZ1usalSAGq4EnXn6lML3JO1_q-gbj-mKUT-LhMtO2Rg3IY8HCpkzljHeB2b4lQeIWtZe5fP581LR6-dRk9IRMZWzFMDJaeJLBycUqwSz3hfLtAGswoEKEXfXzadswapwVxozU__xb826YOh8Su6RmAB0llgDA/w640-h374/Screenshot%202023-01-25%208.58.33%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (January 19th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I listened to 190 songs today.

That didn't go well. I think the CPAP made it worse. I ended up just putting my legs and head up like I was in my recliner, took off the CPAP and went right to sleep so I'm guessing that's what I'll do tonight.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Work sucked, nothing was going right with the line. Boiler issues, Air issues, the whole damn line is an issue.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Went to Tractor Supply and picked up dog food, hit Martin's on the way home to pick up some ranch and then came home and finished my Frank Thomas box so I'll probably run by the card shop tomorrow after work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I might crash early tonight, I'm pretty tired already. Been fighting dozing off for the last hour.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (January 17th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Nothing terribly exciting today at work. The line actually ran well. They are talking about doing 5 days now this week, of course, I also heard they were going to take 4 hours off everybody so who knows.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After work, I ran to the card shop and dropped off the box of Frank Thomas cards and gave him $10 for the ones I kept. Came home and Samantha was here, we chatted and watched a movie while she did her laundry.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday (January 18th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I have to admit, I forgot how great it is to leave work at 1. I have so much time at home when I get there. Although, I filled up on gas and went to Goodwill to drop some stuff off so for the 3rd day, I haven't come straight home yet.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Cheri was in the storage area, cleaning and organizing for the 3rd day in a row. She's going nuts down there but it makes her happy. Once she got done, we ran to Goodwill (2nd time today for me) and dropped a couple more items off. Then UPS to return some Amazon stuff and grabbed some supper. I had Chick-Fil-A and Cheri had Sonic.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (January 19th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Next week I'm getting my 3rd shift wastewater guy back so I can go back to doing my job. Travis thanked me for pulling the numbers for all of our production vs all our scrap and put it into charts for him to present in a meeting. He also asked for all of our downtime for last year which I had to update 1st because I hadn't done much with it since taking over the department. About an hour before I left they told me that we will be swapping my wastewater operators, one week the 3rd shift guy, one week the 1st shift guy, that way everybody is getting some hours until it picks back up.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I came home and went to the card room to work on the Frank Thomas cards I got. I didn't get too far before I just laid on the couch and took a nap because I knew Cheri wouldn't let me sleep if I went upstairs.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I tried to watch the Michigan game tonight, I got about 3/4 of it before the stream cut out and I couldn't get it back. They weren't playing that great anyways but still. I think I'll struggle a lot more to get basketball games in then I will football or baseball but we'll see. Such is the way of a cord cutter.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (January 20th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I actually slept normal last night. CPAP and didn't have to elevate my head and legs so much. Hopefully I'm about over this cold.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Slow day at work. We had our daily MRB meeting and I had a coughing fit. I mean, real bad. I almost threw up a couple of times because I was coughing so hard. I heard one guy say this is what happens right before they become a vampire. I have no idea what triggered it. I left at noon because I hit my 40 hours.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I saw my cousin was at the card shop so I went over there and chatted with them for a bit before coming home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (January 21st)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After my good sleep the night before, Cheri decided to sleep in the same room again. I fell asleep ok but I woke up at some point, coughing my head off. Every time I thought I was going to stop coughing, I'd start up again. I decided I better move to the recliner so Cheri can sleep. I rolled over and she was already gone. Damn it! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Had to get up early for the weekend. My cousin and I went to set up at a pretty big card show but it was just under 3 hours away in Lima, OH. It was a pretty great show, we did well and it was packed most of the day. Had a good time as I usually do at shows. Always great hanging out with mostly men and talking sports all day.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday, January 22nd</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I took some Nyquil to help me sleep solid. It worked as I slept straight until a quarter after 7, except I made the mistake a laying back down and ended up sleeping on and off until 11. Going to sleep tonight is going to be a bitch when I have to get up at 3:45 tomorrow morning.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Haven't really done much today, I've been down in my card room since I got up, trying to get those Thomas cards logged in. I'm down to a couple more stacks so I'll probably work on them after work this week since I'll be getting off at 1.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-82809291526540179112023-01-20T17:53:00.002-05:002023-01-20T17:53:43.016-05:00This Week - Eating Out<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (January 14th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgz3xu-PxB7xNzsNgk0vkLwytFDTHkL5QbC4W5twEk_622LO4aof1D0IQrwvXHFHeZAQKRqdJcwcVtOaMF4efmHlIsR03rcZ4UVmJS9hNfu22aB6KPHfrbBROek-2KCSQmubmVZ3VPXp-qmRPEZ07plXuovcv51B7icBd3QAEry1IGqnikHlJuK7bapwA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="152" data-original-width="200" height="152" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgz3xu-PxB7xNzsNgk0vkLwytFDTHkL5QbC4W5twEk_622LO4aof1D0IQrwvXHFHeZAQKRqdJcwcVtOaMF4efmHlIsR03rcZ4UVmJS9hNfu22aB6KPHfrbBROek-2KCSQmubmVZ3VPXp-qmRPEZ07plXuovcv51B7icBd3QAEry1IGqnikHlJuK7bapwA=w200-h152" width="200" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Kevin and I hit McDonald's this morning while traveling.

Something about going back to work after having days off. Last night was worse than usual, probably because I had 3 weeks off.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span>I got to work at 6 like the boss told me. I usually go in at 5 and make sure the line is running before everyone gets there but he didn't want me to and they ended up not starting to run until almost 7 because of an issue with the airlines. </span><span>I worked 10 hours and am absolutely wore out, and I didn't even do that much. Way too much time off of doing nothing. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I called and cancelled our cable so now we're "cordless." Our antenna came in today and I hooked that up so we can watch local TV which will mainly be to watch sports. Most of the shows we watch can be streamed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (January 10th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Nothing terribly exciting today. One of the girls crashed a load but no damage was done to the parts but it took a bit to fix everything. Still haven't had any meetings which is great. I did have a Teams Meeting online but I ate lunch and listened to music during it. I just unmuted when I needed to say anything.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home and ran out to Xfinity to drop off the cable boxes (we're officially done with cable TV) and UPS store to return some Amazon purchases. Right up the road from the UPS store is Firehouse Subs so we went there for supper. Cheri actually wanted to go in and eat which was shocking to me but we did. The chairs kicked her ass which would be why we don't normally go in.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm super tired tonight, I may crash early but I'm trying to get all my online stuff done.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday (January 11th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Actually had my first meeting of the year. I say actually because we usually have a ton of them. I guess I should say in person meeting because I did have a Teams (online) meeting earlier in the week. That is the one nice thing about not having everybody there, way less meetings.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Found out at work that we're only working 32 hours this week. Well, I'm getting 34 because by the time they decided that, it was too late for me to leave early today and I'm working 4 hours tomorrow.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (January 12th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was out of it this morning, I don't know if it was the cold or the Nyquil I took last night. I probably shouldn't have gone to work. I'm pretty sure I had a fever for the first hour I was there. I kept telling myself, you only have to be here for 4 hours. Only I ended up being there 6 because they brought a hot part down after the line was shut down so I ran it myself and had to stay until it was done. Plus I had a few other things I had to finish.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I got a text from Cheri asking if I sneezed on the pantry door, I replied that I don't think I did but who knows. Apparently it was covered in snot. I went back and watched our cameras, yep, it was me. Oops! I told Cheri it was payback for her giving me the cold.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm missing my first Michigan game, it's hard and I don't like it but it is what it is. I'm following the game online and I'll watch highlights when it's over, maybe even the whole game if I can find it but it sucks not being able to watch it. Hopefully the next game is on something I get.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (January 13th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Woke up feeling like crap. I couldn't breath out my nose so I spent the last few hours tossing and turning. I checked the Nyquil and it apparently only works 6 hours so I'm guessing I slept good until it ran out.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I rode with Cheri out to her chiropractor and then ran out to the card shop. The owner had let me know he had 2 5000 count boxes full of Frank Thomas so I ran in and picked them up before going to pick up groceries and grabbing some lunch then heading home. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I went downstairs and started sorting the cards to see what I needed. I haven't started checking but I already pulled out enough dupes to fill one of the boxes so I'll take that to the card show tomorrow and give it back to the owner of the shop who also sets up there.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (January 14th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Kevin and I set up at the Fort Wayne show. Had a decent show but we depleted our football and basketball and need to restock before next Saturday. We picked up some today but Kevin is going to try to get some more during the week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday (January 15th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I can't believe we are half way through January already. I slept in the recliner again last night. I slept pretty good. Woke up a few times but I got up around 6 and took some more Dayquil and laid back down and slept until 9. I definitely sleep better in the recliner with this cold.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When I finally did get up, I went down and worked on my Frank Thomas box. I was hoping to finish but its taking me longer than I thought. Since I get off at 2 this week, I might jump down and work on them for an hour or so wnen I get home. I've already got a stack bigger than I expected and I still have quite a few to go through.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Cheri was working in the storage room so she was down there with me as well. After supper, I stayed upstairs and watched TV while she went back down there. I figured she was just going to finish the tote she was working on but it's been a couple of hours and she's still down there.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-33145909679318799682023-01-13T22:16:00.000-05:002023-01-13T22:16:07.376-05:00This Week - Eating Out<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (January 7th)</b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLNbyp6WhTBg1ZOjJSXrtUTC8UY0EsxWsH2xTrIn80nuKTs0a2fxfKmUvNK_Z1oixU7dEuLNsH9aNPoB12y5w_-YzmCUjqlSYtRNh-O6uqL6BqF-ClcgaUqoe_gMs46bb_QrGbjoI6_kveE4_TMOCUGdyyyl-cBpEcXXBbTWIziGva8lXrzB0CxMvzxw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="155" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjLNbyp6WhTBg1ZOjJSXrtUTC8UY0EsxWsH2xTrIn80nuKTs0a2fxfKmUvNK_Z1oixU7dEuLNsH9aNPoB12y5w_-YzmCUjqlSYtRNh-O6uqL6BqF-ClcgaUqoe_gMs46bb_QrGbjoI6_kveE4_TMOCUGdyyyl-cBpEcXXBbTWIziGva8lXrzB0CxMvzxw=w155-h200" width="155" /></a></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The wife was wanting some breakfast at lunch so it narrowed it down to where we could go. She actually chose Copper Creek. I had the Gyro while she loaded up on breakfast items. Food was great, service was good. The waitress said it was only her 3rd day but she did fine. The price got a little steep. I can see the extra $3 for her bowl of gravy but $5 for a side salad with nothing but lettuce with 2 pieces of tomato & cucumber. I'm okay with that, I'm in it for the Bleu Cheese dressing anyways but I thought $5 was a little expensive for it.</span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBoEFi0Eqdic98fvHGMhSPXIu3eaE0oiuHFjnPhxU-NTasWiCTHq80YTkhEfKZFpyEPcxBy8EH3q3K8bMLeE2aLgLirFvYVMYPgyT5LIkJdsrDNLwRXwPgq_OP7jvbn_MzgtPrzQMyNiYB6leOwOfU8RawXAHj4td_ek_GQOjZ5bkfWp20SenhFnTjoQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="320" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBoEFi0Eqdic98fvHGMhSPXIu3eaE0oiuHFjnPhxU-NTasWiCTHq80YTkhEfKZFpyEPcxBy8EH3q3K8bMLeE2aLgLirFvYVMYPgyT5LIkJdsrDNLwRXwPgq_OP7jvbn_MzgtPrzQMyNiYB6leOwOfU8RawXAHj4td_ek_GQOjZ5bkfWp20SenhFnTjoQ=w200-h113" width="200" /></a></span></div><p></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm starting to wonder if my wife is having pregnancy cravings as much as she wants Taco Bell lately. I wasn't really feeling it but the boss gets what she wants. I ended up just getting a nachos grande, taco and a drink. I wasn't really that hungry. I got a little scare when I pulled up, the first thing they said was they were out of, and I went crap, but he said change so exact change and cards. Whew! I said I had a mobile order and gave him my name. Then he started to read my order and said, oh, we're out of Mountain Dew Baja, oh wait, you got a regular Dew. Whew again! I gave them another green, everything was good and right but they did forget my extra cup of cheese.</span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Monday (January 9th)</b></span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xjvSSF_KqVUAVsAG56-Q0rxP0Ypc2KU-NOO-CzaE2oCPkl5dh-Iwzo1klfS-FVYUoo2rFqVp59GSh3jOJXqZe5_mZ_i5_wWxt72x5MLtBsCocbNlvxI2UAv2hHVJ2wxcQTia_o8XOTNz1HSMsaP3DHYTAl_wlmXIlOl4bJPpRys934c1oPT3_4s5LA/s1024/KFC-logo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="575" data-original-width="1024" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xjvSSF_KqVUAVsAG56-Q0rxP0Ypc2KU-NOO-CzaE2oCPkl5dh-Iwzo1klfS-FVYUoo2rFqVp59GSh3jOJXqZe5_mZ_i5_wWxt72x5MLtBsCocbNlvxI2UAv2hHVJ2wxcQTia_o8XOTNz1HSMsaP3DHYTAl_wlmXIlOl4bJPpRys934c1oPT3_4s5LA/w200-h113/KFC-logo.jpg" width="200" /></a></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We hit the drive-thru at KFC for supper. I had to wait on my fries but they told me up front that it would be a 4 minute wait and wanted to know if I wanted something else. I told him I was fine waiting, they just had me pull up until my food was down. Granted there was nobody behind me but whatever. Everything was good, even the wife's custom order and they remembered her butter and honey for her biscuit.</span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (January 10th)</b></span></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijOhkMZAXxlebAxINba6fg9wtUUBl34NexyIduuz0LUVn0pE_sEKlo-OemaZiaE6h1TYGcemVS7E27iLSBAeky6zYuFM7jDSk9DyZjNpPGS-u8m1I3S-bkU0cAndpcwZuHZaUnIaO0k107ALEnB14rj9iAdgVR8YXVkRM3vZlFVocPMEOwAr6yry-_Tw/s900/firehouse-subs-logo-vector.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="900" height="111" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijOhkMZAXxlebAxINba6fg9wtUUBl34NexyIduuz0LUVn0pE_sEKlo-OemaZiaE6h1TYGcemVS7E27iLSBAeky6zYuFM7jDSk9DyZjNpPGS-u8m1I3S-bkU0cAndpcwZuHZaUnIaO0k107ALEnB14rj9iAdgVR8YXVkRM3vZlFVocPMEOwAr6yry-_Tw/w200-h111/firehouse-subs-logo-vector.png" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We were out and about so we ran over to Firehouse for supper.

It's my first complaint about Taco Bell in the last 5 trips so there is that.</span></p><p></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-50216919947915901922023-01-11T20:54:00.002-05:002023-01-11T20:54:42.799-05:00This Week - Music<p> </p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (January 5th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Listened to 75 songs today.

We went to Copper Creek again. We met my aunt, uncle, cousin and his wife there. Food was great, as always. Love the Greek Skillet. I will miss these breakfast get together's on Monday when I go back to work. Only issue I had was I had slept in my contacts and my eye was bugging the crap out of me. I took them out once I got home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I worked on My Sports Obsession's year in review and posted it. I need to work on the one for this blog. Maybe tonight.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Pretty much hung out and watched TV until this evening. Cheri and I ran some stuff to Whole Foods to use the Amazon Drop Off and grabbed some Sonic for supper. We came home and I went looking for something to watch so we're trying Three Pines on Prime.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We didn't stick with Three Pines, Cheri thought it was too boring so I'll add it to the long list of shows that I'll watch when I'm alone. We're watching Black Adam now, she won't like it, it's not her type of movie but I've been wanting to see it so here we are.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Black Adam wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. I felt like those DC characters were generic Marvel characters. We also watched Blacklight with Liam Neeson. Again, not bad but not great.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (January 3rd)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Woke up a couple of minutes before my alarm because work called. I wasn't too pissed since I was getting up in 2 minutes anyways, other than they woke up my wife.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My cousin picked me up and we headed to the local card show and spent about 6 hours there sorting cards. I did baseball and sorted them by players. I ended up filling up a 5 row box of all the cards I sorted.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home and ran to Taco Bell for supper. Now just trying to find something to watch. Tried Kaleidoscope but the wife wasn't into it. She doesn't pay enough attention to anything so it has to be really good for her to stay with it. I'll add it to my list of shows to watch when she's not around. We ended up looking for a movie on the Fire Stick, picked one and as always, it wasn't what we picked but it had Owen Wilson so we watched it anyways. It was called Secret Headquarters. It was alright, had it's funny parts but some of the action was pretty cheesy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday (January 4th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Woke up earlier to take Duke to the vet, he's getting a tooth extracted today. Cheri's really worried because they have to put him to sleep but she's not too bad since he's been put to sleep a couple of times without issues. Hit Taco Bell for my breakfast and then McDonalds for hers then headed home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Been down in my card room scanning and logging some cards that I brought home yesterday and then worked on some spreadsheets.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The vet called and said Duke did well and we can pick him up at 4. I'm sure Cheri is relieved.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Duke is home now and Cheri will baby him back to health. We'll probably watch TV the rest of the evening but I'm not sure what we're doing for supper. I'll probably end up running out and getting something since she won't want to leave Duke even though he's just laying around.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was right, I ran down to Subway (blah!) which I'm not a big fan of but that's what Cheri wanted. I was right, neither of us were all that happy with the food. There's a reason I've only eaten there one other time since 2020.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (January 5th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Not too much happening today. I was going to go to breakfast with my uncles and cousin if I woke up before 9 but I ended up sleeping until almost 9:30. My cousin and I were going to go card shopping but we both decided we weren't in the mood and then I sat around for an hour playing on my phone while Cheri watched TV. I couldn't decide if I wanted to go work in my card room.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Work called me to do their Thursday check in and informed me that I will go back on Monday at my usual time so we'll see how that goes. My Plant Manager is supposed to call me today to let me know but I wouldn't be surprised if I don't hear from him. Not long after, my 3rd shift operator called me to bitch about maintenance not listening to him. I told him now you understand why I can't get anything done on 1st when it comes to dealing with them. They always think they know better. I tend to pace when talking on the phone for awhile so once I hung up with him, I decided to head downstairs. I don't really have much card stuff to do so I'll probably work on blogs and spreadsheets while I decide if I want to do anything else.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">All the TV shows are coming back so we'll be sticking with the DVR for the most part for awhile in the evenings.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (January 6th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I ran over to Sluggos after I got up and we headed to Schererville to the Baseball Card Exchange. We hung out for a couple of hours between shopping and Sluggo talking. I picked up a couple cards for me and a couple for a guy I trade with Ann Arbor.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Just got teared up at the ending of Call Me Kat. Such a touching ending about the loss of Leslie Jordan. He was one of my wife's favorite people, and I like him as well so that news hit us a little bit.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We've been screwing around and looking more into the streaming in order to drop cable. I'm not sure what we're going to do. Essentially, the only reason we have cable which cost just over $100/month is so I can watch Michigan and White Sox games. Most everything else can be streamed and watched elsewhere. We've spent most of the evening working on it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (January 7th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I slept in way too long. I didn't wake up until 10 am which is going to make it really tough to get back into the routine work schedule of waking up at 3:45 am.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I got up and unhooked the cable box and DVR and put them in a bag and the wife and I headed out to pick up groceries and drop off the boxes to Xfinity. We got there and they told us we couldn't cancel the cable because we just signed a contract. Apparently when I talked to them last week, he signed us up for a whole new contract without even telling us. So now I have to call and get them to cancel the contract that I never signed up for. I tried calling outside the Xfinity store but after half an hour, I gave up so we could go get lunch. I even left it on the phone call the whole time we drove to Copper Creek before hanging up. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We came home after lunch and I hooked up the cable box (since I couldn't cancel it) to watch the Michigan/Michigan State basketball game and neither one of the boxes would work so I ended up streaming the game. They wonder why I want to cancel it. I'll call them tomorrow and drop everything off after work on Monday.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Went looking for something to watch this evening and settles on the Rig on Netflix. Only a couple episodes in and it's alright, intriguing enough to keep my interest. I'm not sure my wife likes it though.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday (January 8th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Set my alarm for 8 am. Still didn't get up until after 9. I didn't sleep the whole time between 8 and 9 but enough. Although it's after noon now and I still feel tired. I hate feeling tired, it's how I feel on work days but it needs to be done so I can get some sleep tonight. I can't be up until 2:30 in the morning again and plan on getting up at 3:45, that won't work, at all.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It's been a very blah day, I haven't really been into doing anything. I sat at my desk downstairs for awhile just scrolled through Reddit. I don't know if it's because I have to go back to work or other personal issues but I'm just very down today.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-32616903649066753172023-01-05T19:13:00.031-05:002023-01-06T18:57:35.508-05:00This week - Eating Out<p>I feel like we are eating out a lot right now.

We were on the road for a basketball game at Michigan and we were on a time crunch. We were on the road and still about 40 minutes out and my brother got on the app and put our name in which was great. When we got there, we were the next ones up which was really great because of the time crunch. We got seated, ordered and everything went well, other than I had to eat fast which I hate doing. The food and service was great and I loved that we could check out right at the table, except that I had planned on using cash but since we were in a hurry, I just used the debit card so we could get out quicker.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (12/30)</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb20N_JvNrOqigeQfgW1mZkVa2KmAi6jjps3GwNQU0Zf-7My38iiaWd6XA7Z6X0hzcGhPsQSprVraVFiE1K1uQqFZ470NsanjkyV5PUB4RRtcD-IOU7Bv85ocgLirDo-edAriPTXaNvVY30hbYBttduNsESBYY7qFWonFZqLqnYKhPzodJZBtn3i1rNQ/s2400/5e94b64890839.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1195" data-original-width="2400" height="99" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb20N_JvNrOqigeQfgW1mZkVa2KmAi6jjps3GwNQU0Zf-7My38iiaWd6XA7Z6X0hzcGhPsQSprVraVFiE1K1uQqFZ470NsanjkyV5PUB4RRtcD-IOU7Bv85ocgLirDo-edAriPTXaNvVY30hbYBttduNsESBYY7qFWonFZqLqnYKhPzodJZBtn3i1rNQ/w200-h99/5e94b64890839.webp" width="200" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When I'm home and the wife goes to the Chiropractor, I usually tag along and we go to <b>Culver's</b> afterwards which is right up the road. I generally don't even get out of my PJ's because I sit in the car at the Chiropractor and we hit the drive thru at Culver's and sit in the car and eat in the parking lot, which is what we did.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It's rare for anything bad to happen when we go to Culver's but this time it wasn't the greatest. I still have it a green, but marked an F for food being the issue. We ordered and pulled up to wait for our food. And waited, and waited. That alone is rare but the reason I mentioned it was because when we pulled up, they were bringing food out and cleared a couple of cars. Then nothing. We sat for a good 8-10 minutes before anybody else got any food. That's the rarity because they are usually pretty efficient. I marked the F (stands for food, not a grade) because the fry's weren't their usual crispy self and our cups of cheese were barely warm. I gave them a green still but I don't usually mark down for having to wait because a lot of places just can't get help and that's generally the reason. I'm pretty patient but I like my food to be good as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (12/31)</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6US7NpiEpgQEnNNkjSGowZ1vxWVOQtM4GMXRx4rypn42xcNH-9co94XEwLQ4c7Hqt1beU-SzwGriLVTQlhgUxKFSRHBvJiUGjYgDt07_bNf5xbogsqyO_6bBTh9BcvkxRVFiMolkLwpL9E_mjEf-gjnO7AIxMwTEamts51PH-01ofIMpCtjlSjyJKBw/s1146/hgRu36yguybcDeZLsZybEA-1200-80.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="645" data-original-width="1146" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6US7NpiEpgQEnNNkjSGowZ1vxWVOQtM4GMXRx4rypn42xcNH-9co94XEwLQ4c7Hqt1beU-SzwGriLVTQlhgUxKFSRHBvJiUGjYgDt07_bNf5xbogsqyO_6bBTh9BcvkxRVFiMolkLwpL9E_mjEf-gjnO7AIxMwTEamts51PH-01ofIMpCtjlSjyJKBw/s320/hgRu36yguybcDeZLsZybEA-1200-80.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Picked up <b>Taco Bell</b> on the way home for Cheri. She ordered on the app and I had her get me a Mountain Dew. I pulled up, gave her name and they said they didn't have anymore Sierra Mist (for Cheri) so I changed it to a Mountain Dew. Pulled up and he informed me they ran out of Mountain Dew as well. Had I not already paid for it in the app, I would have just cancelled my drink because I wanted a Dew but since it was already paid, I came home with 2 Pepsi's. They got her food right as in her changes to her Chalupa but they didn't give her the nachos or cheese. The O stands for Out (Mountain Dew & Sierra Mist) and S for shorted (Nachos & Cheese).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Monday (1/2)</b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjHsiQ8fmiZXWtEwagao-XH2h7dc9Qr8TMn9H8vZsSwLovVWFIxWEbJZs18cu7_XVWCGELSNOgH6r5-81vGG-mxqw-uAGRLPiZ5Z8SFRjXNH2WTLLPnRMgR5U-tbX2MfCuvm1g5nqgH7oXvOQ6CWWTbNayCxX85I2UA1JHO-5Isrh1cvhrAVqeyoZTiQ/s640/304875033_484457897021165_6069492819643015612_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="496" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjHsiQ8fmiZXWtEwagao-XH2h7dc9Qr8TMn9H8vZsSwLovVWFIxWEbJZs18cu7_XVWCGELSNOgH6r5-81vGG-mxqw-uAGRLPiZ5Z8SFRjXNH2WTLLPnRMgR5U-tbX2MfCuvm1g5nqgH7oXvOQ6CWWTbNayCxX85I2UA1JHO-5Isrh1cvhrAVqeyoZTiQ/w155-h200/304875033_484457897021165_6069492819643015612_n.jpg" width="155" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We went up to <b>Copper Creek Cafe</b> for some breakfast.

She usually does breakfast with my aunt and uncle on Monday's and I've been tagging along with them since I was home the previous 2 Mondays. They weren't doing breakfast because my aunt and uncle's grandkids and great grandkid were in town so they were hanging with them before they went home. So Cheri and I went out with just my mom and stepdad to Copper Creek, which is a favorite breakfast spot of mine. It's a small diner kind of place but great food and they have the Greek Skillet that I love to have for breakfast. It was a nice breakfast, especially since Cheri went as she doesn't go out with us all the time. I always enjoy just hanging out with my family so it was a good time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We came home and I headed for my card room to get the cards I got for Christmas logged in and scanned. Cheri started taking down the Christmas stuff. Just as I finished the cards I got yesterday, Cheri sent me a text saying that she should log all her ornaments into a spreadsheet. Her mom buys all of us ornaments, every Christmas so we have a ton of ornaments. We downsized our tree a year or two ago so we barely use any compared to how many we have. Of course, she text me that because I'm the king of spreadsheets so I went back upstairs and sat down and we worked all day on logging all the ornaments, then we logged all her Jim Shore stuff all while taking everything down. So we ended up spending the majority of the afternoon and evening doing all that stuff. It was a good time as well just because we usually just sit around and do casual chit chat, I always enjoy doing projects with her, but I hate projects in general so it's always a toss up on whether I'll enjoy the project. Spreadsheets are my jam though, so I enjoyed that one.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I need to make sure I silence my phone tonight because a few people are going back to work in the morning and I already know the line is going to be down for the first 4 hours because my plant manager didn't respond to my text last week about how to fix it and I don't want to be woke up at 6 am about it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tuesday (December 27th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I didn't wake up to any missed phone calls, that's always a bonus. I knew they would be able to handle it, I was more worried the plant manager was going to call me to bitch about it. I talked to Ken and he did say they had all kinds of issues with the boiler all day but maintenance was there to work on it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My cousin and I went out to the local card shop to do some shopping. When we walked in, a couple of the guys that set up at the card shows with us were there. One guy left not long after but the guy that sets up behind us at the Fort Wayne show hung out the whole time we were there (just over 3 hours) so we all were talking about sports and cards in general, I enjoyed it. That's part of the reason I like doing card shows is just the standing around with a bunch of guys and talking sports and such. I bought a few cheaper things for myself. I may go in next week with my cousin and help the card shop owner sort cards, which I love to do anyways. He'll pay me in cards, which I'm definitely cool with. We'll see.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Just hung out and did our usual this evening, watched TV while screwing around on the internet. We're thinking about ditching cable since we can stream most of the shows on services that we already have. I'll have to call the cable company in the next day or two.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Wednesday (December 28th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Stayed home most of the day. Called the cable company and he lowered our bill a little but I think we're still going to cancel. It just isn't worth it. I hung out in my card room most of the day, logged and scanned the cards I got at the card shop yesterday and then started pulling all the cards that I need to scan for the <a href="https://www.tcdb.com/" target="_blank">TCDB</a>. That took most of the day, I didn't realize how many I needed to scan. There were 3 pages and I only got the first 2 pulled.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ken called from work and said they decided that a few people were coming in next week as well. They just can't make a decision in that place.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Samantha came over to use the shower and once she left and my son went to work, Cheri and I decided to go to Barnaby's for supper so we got dressed and headed out. You can tell it's the week that a lot of people have off because it was packed and loud, Cheri and I could barely stand it, we're getting old. By the time we got our pizza, most of the place had cleared out and it was better. The pizza was better than usual as well so there was that.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">We hit Walmart on the way home to grab a headlight bulb for my car and I grabbed a strap for my Fitbit watch because I'm going nuts without having it on me and the one we ordered on Amazon isn't supposed to be here until next week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Thursday (December 29th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Worked in my card room in the morning. Finally finished pulling all the cards that need scanned (photo below). That is going to be a chore but at least I cleared my desk off of all the other cards since everything is pulled now, I put everything else away in my card room is back to being organized.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizp4ZbfexrK2cEPJx7gKGRUP7JY8thMmfxZXFRrwRTEaLVE6iMz5pG4_7_mRVMt8YRjU21Sqje8jc6DYSl1wRSmjgycFwMSFlja3xPwxpfaR7kpzt8kbHkX-77LrfPw9T04BXF8KXg050hfXYnIBraokEDFLdbrIZ7B9Vws6qkvPSzafo64pmS-S4mhQ/s3000/20230101_123121.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1721" data-original-width="3000" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizp4ZbfexrK2cEPJx7gKGRUP7JY8thMmfxZXFRrwRTEaLVE6iMz5pG4_7_mRVMt8YRjU21Sqje8jc6DYSl1wRSmjgycFwMSFlja3xPwxpfaR7kpzt8kbHkX-77LrfPw9T04BXF8KXg050hfXYnIBraokEDFLdbrIZ7B9Vws6qkvPSzafo64pmS-S4mhQ/s320/20230101_123121.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Each stack is a page on TCDB and there are 100 cards to a page. I've got to scan fronts and backs so it'll be a project. I should be able to get most of it (hopefully all of it) done while I'm off work.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The HR lady called me today, they call everyone on Thursdays on the weeks we are off to make sure everyone is doing ok because a lot people can't handle the time off because of the lack of money coming in. I told her I'm great, that's why I save all my vacation and personal time. I'm covered for the whole 3 weeks. She said they were discussing only having 70% of the work force coming back on the 9th. Yikes! I should be part of that 70% but I won't count on that until I know for sure. As much as I like having to not work, I only have so many vacation days and I don't want to burn them all up in January so hopefully I'll get called back. I should.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Went over to my mom's at 3 and met my brother, his buddy and my mom and stepdad and we left for Ann Arbor. We were heading up to the Michigan basketball game. We ended up being late because we didn't plan enough time to stop and eat. I kept throwing hints out that that was going to be the case but nobody listened. You would think they'd listen to the guy who's on time for everything. I had a great time, it was my first men's basketball game there. I've been to a woman's game before. The only part of the evening that sucked was we lost to somebody we should have beaten pretty easily. The team does not look as good as we had hoped. We didn't get home until after midnight.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcyJoOgigLk318FT9MPnA_lNVViD4Cgd-vJI3VU89ypC4YPIe8LRICovwdlZCLqpaFQoUnLQjNfJP8wBp5FQcr8L4FvdXe5mdSMFwbkg2swVqUvGZ1QeKNH1SmEgyU4dK8BVii7w8FANQ2AWzm9r8JO9O2QZFahdu9tlopBejWLgBk9zv_FPXbfJM3g/s1920/320515801_681798963619886_7070469652682462740_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcyJoOgigLk318FT9MPnA_lNVViD4Cgd-vJI3VU89ypC4YPIe8LRICovwdlZCLqpaFQoUnLQjNfJP8wBp5FQcr8L4FvdXe5mdSMFwbkg2swVqUvGZ1QeKNH1SmEgyU4dK8BVii7w8FANQ2AWzm9r8JO9O2QZFahdu9tlopBejWLgBk9zv_FPXbfJM3g/w360-h640/320515801_681798963619886_7070469652682462740_n.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday (December 30th)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Cheri had to go to the chiropractor so I tagged along as I usually do when I'm home and she goes. I didn't even get out of my pj's because I sit in the car while she's in there and listen to music. When she came out, we headed over to the Culver's where my daughter works and grabbed some food and said hi. We sat in the parking lot and ate, as we always do and then came home.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Apparently when I talked to the cable guy to lower our bill, he did a bunch of changes that I didn't ask for. I'm definitely ditching them next week. I'm just going to take everything and set it on their counter and tell the to cancel everything but the internet. We signed up for Philo just to see if we like it so we're probably use that to watch a bunch of stuff.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I went down and did some organizing in my card room in the afternoon. I moved a small desk into it and made a shelf of my "other" collectibles (photo below).</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLjI7x0rKLnA_oiSGV8IO7XIruBJSPm7KvUNp7Ie59G5ezCdzBsWG1BYWeHFnhzyyARZWtKmZ753fmUjvYVgHkqkhn1lJBzZ_BVKv5Tp0pf74AOnJwBBgz1YJmPoDxL_02vSRNAxRoZKmTiL86Tr4bwejexCzGh7VP4JkKlYWQtE_Vd-Hvp9b6NUqKw/s4000/20230101_124811.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2426" data-original-width="4000" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLjI7x0rKLnA_oiSGV8IO7XIruBJSPm7KvUNp7Ie59G5ezCdzBsWG1BYWeHFnhzyyARZWtKmZ753fmUjvYVgHkqkhn1lJBzZ_BVKv5Tp0pf74AOnJwBBgz1YJmPoDxL_02vSRNAxRoZKmTiL86Tr4bwejexCzGh7VP4JkKlYWQtE_Vd-Hvp9b6NUqKw/w640-h388/20230101_124811.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: medium;">These are all things (mainly ornaments) that people have given me, I haven't paid for any of it but I like them so I put everything in my room but my sports collectibles keep growing and I needed the shelves for that stuff. So I added this small desk next to the desk that I actually use. I don't know if I'll keep it or not but it's definitely more organized than it was before. The top left is the Walking Dead with Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy in front of it. The middle is Game of Thrones with Star Trek in the front and the whole right side is Star Wars.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturday (December 31st)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I actually had to wake up to an alarm clock today. I got up at 7:45 and headed over to my cousins where we drove to Lake Station and set up at the VFW for a card show. It was a pretty slow show but a couple of pretty big sales helped make it a good show financially. My brother came down and hung out with us for an hour or so. We were going to shut down about half an hour early so I could get to my brother's house for the Michigan playoff game but there was a guy still looking at cards so I called my mom and they picked me up early. Which was a good thing because that guy ended up spending $500.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm not even going to talk about the game, that was embarrassing and that wasn't the Michigan team I watched all year long. As always, I enjoyed hanging out with the family. Especially my brother as I don't get to see him much anymore since he moved an hour away.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Came home and chilled in the living room, watching TV until a couple of minutes before the ball dropped, we switched it over to watch the ball drop. We had to turn the TV way up once it did to block out the fireworks going off around us otherwise our dog freaks out. They went on for awhile so we flipped it over to the Nashville one where they were playing country music until the ball dropped there. We went to bed not long after that. We're such party animals in our old age.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sunday (January 1st)</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I pretty much spent the day in my card room and was working on blogs. I typed up everything above this and about half the music blog post. From here on out, I plan on working on those posts daily so it doesn't feel like it's taking nearly the amount of time that it did today.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I also scanned and logged 5 or 6 cards that my brother gave me yesterday.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The rest of the afternoon/evening I spent screwing around on the computer and watched some TV. Mainly the Michigan basketball (that was not the team I saw on Thursday) until Yellowstone came on. We also finished the last couple of episodes of Night Sky. I enjoyed that show, wish they wouldn't have cancelled it after 1 season. Not really sure what I think of 1923, it's ok so far but hasn't been as great as the previous season, whatever year that was.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117341923751897912.post-78583294378830440822023-01-01T19:19:00.003-05:002023-01-01T19:19:41.762-05:00Throwing out Ideas<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm trying to come up with some weekly blog ideas. I'm hoping if I can do some of those, maybe it will kick off the blogging juices. I've been kicking around a couple ideas. I like two of them, I'm not sure about the third.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The first one is just a journal kind of post, I'll go through the week on what I did each day. I typed out this week and it's a big post. I'm sure once work fires back up it won't be nearly as wordy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The second is a rundown of where I've eaten out for the week. I've actually been tracking how good the food and service has been for a couple of weeks so this will go along with those stats, only I'll go into more detail. Kind of yelp reviews of my visits. I mainly started tracking how good or bad these places were because it seemed like for a stretch, there was way more bad than good. So I just wanted to see if that was true or not.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The last one, the one I'm not sure about, was about the music I listened to for the week. I typed out a couple of days and while I think it's interesting, I don't feel like anybody else will. On the other hand, I generally post what I want, I'm not about the likes or whatever. To me, anything I put on the internet is something I want to be on there, something I can look back on when it pops up annually. So I might do that one as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I said before that maybe I would do some book reviews when I finish one, that's good for 20 posts or so a year. We'll see what happens. As I said before, once I go back to work, it may all go by the wayside. I should go back and look how many posts I do in January compared to any other month.</span></p>Jeff Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.com1
