I have been working so much lately, I have forgot what sleep is. I can not wait until March. At the end of March I will be going a real vacation. Am I going somewhere? Not sure maybe Disney World other than that not sure. But, I will be relaxing.

Well, today I had to call in sick. Once again my sinuses are acting up. Please some smart inventive Doctor find a cure for all sinus problems.

I feel Oppressed. Oppressed by Corporate America!!! LOL!!! Someone at work told be because they were black and I was waiting and working hard that I was oppressing his people and forcing his people to sell stuff to my people. LOL. I told him he was crazy. I mentioned all this to because lately I feel the pressure of money. I have been cutting expenses like crazy. I have lowered my car insurance (they did it I did not ask). A couple of credit cards I got them to reduce the interest rate. I am thinking about cutting my cable services and lower that rate (though that one will only be a few dollars). I am looking for a way to get rid of or lower my storage fee payments. I have changed cell carriers and getting great service with more features than Nextel (I went with Sprint PCS) at a lower rate.

Well that is my ranting and raving now. I want to get a lot of bills paid off this year. I hope the tax man doesn’t oppress me and sets me free.

As I mentioned in my previous post I bought my self a SCP 5500 cellular telephone with built in camera. I discontinued my Nextel Service for several reasons. First and foremost cost, second the direct connect service on Sprint, called Ready Link is superior than Nextel’s and lastly since the two companies are merging and my contract had been up for some time I went with Sprint. If you are not aware Nextel within the next 3 years will be converting everyone on Nextel’s network over to Sprint’s. So everyone will be back together eventually. Just one more thing my cell phone number did not change. The first week of January 2005 I will be sending a e-mail to all family and friends just to give them all my updated information. I do this once a year in case you lose it or something has changed. Take care and God Bless.

Merry Christmas to all! I am having a great time with family and friends.

Here is a list of Presents so far:

Mom got me a Citizen EcoDrive Watch.
Dad got me a EverStart Maxx Jump Starter Box.
Sister and her boyfriend got me a wristband.
Brother and Sister in law got me a Circuitcity Gift Card.
Cousin Tina got me a Walmart Gift Card.
Great Friend Krystal got me an Olive Garden Gift Card.
My Supervisor at work got me an Outback Gift Card.
Another Supervisor at work got me pocket light.

A great Christmas this year! Each year they get better. Maybe because I am getting older. I got myself a Sprint cellular camera phone and love it. Hope everyone is having a GREAT CHRISTMAS. Also don’t forget the reason for today the BIRTH of JESUS CHRIST, our SAVIOR.

It is cold today. It is 54 degrees right now….burr. I just finished watching The Day After Tomorrow. It was excellent a 4.5 star movie. It looks like a cold week. I am working overtime tomorrow and then working regular shift Wednesday. I took off this Thursday and next Monday. This will give me a few days off. I am off this Christmas….

Took Henry to the Eye Vet today and all is great. His pressure was 18 Vet said this was great. He discontinued his only pills. Finally great news.

Well, I had a weekend off for a change. I mean truly off. No overtime no nothing. I watched several 4 stars DVD’s. I watched The Chronicles of Riddick, Van Helsing and the newest Harry Potter DVD The Prisoner of Azkaban. I recommend them all if you haven’t seen them. I also caught up on my TV watching. This cleared out my Tivo. I have come to really enjoy NCIS on CBS, Tuesday’s at 8PM. The CSI series getting a little too odd.
This is my long work week. I will be posting on Wednesday about Henry. He has a Eye Vet checkup. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Even though I had to work I did enjoy my Thanksgiving.

I was reading a thread over at DSLReports.com about new low housing homes being built in Oregon and the State was requiring the contractors to wire the homes for either DSL or Cable and that these residents received free or heavily discounted high speed internet access. Well, this started a flurry of discussion to say the least. Here is my two cents. I believe the Welfare System the way it is, is a total failure. It encourages people to be lazy, dishonest and baby factories. I have many ideas on how to fix it. Too many to list here. But, Welfare is Tax Fraud and Waste at it’s height. Well, just my two cents.

I am taking a little vacation from work. I will not go back to work until next Friday. I have some odds and ends to do. Other than that relax is my key word right now.

Well, thank God Elections are over. I got so very tired of watching election commericals. The person I voted for (George Bush) won the election. I don’t necessarily like George Bush. However, I could not in good conscious vote for John Kerry. I did like John Edwards but, not John Kerry. Well, lets pray for one thing. George Bush makes simpler the tax code. I will be updating the web site next week. Take care everyone.

Nothing new with me. Just working a lot. Got over 3 hours yesterday of overtime and 4 today. I will have some exciting news hopefully next week. I will be working this weekend on Overtime. I am not sure when I will update the website. But, it will probably not until the second week of November when I take a much needed vacation.

Well nothing is new. I have been working a lot lately. I mean a lot. I will be on this hectic schedule for another week and a half.

I have been working alot of overtime lately. Hopefully, next month things will slow down. Henry is doing great. He still can not see. But, he is not in any pain. In dog years he will be a senior citizen on his birthday in December. I hope everybody is doing ok and I will be updating the website in a couple of weeks.

Well, we are experiencing some of the worse that Jeanne has to offer. We still have power but we do have minor roof damage and the winds are continuing to pick up. Power has gone off and on several times. We have a lot of trees down too. I got off work early and have to go in again tonight at 6:00 PM. I will try to update you as much as possible. My mom and niece went to my brother’s house and they have lost power. During Hurricane Frances they kept power the whole time. This time we have so far. Well, going to try and get some more sleep if these hiccups stop.

Took Henry for his follow-up after surgery visit. His pressure in his eye is 10. Which is fantastic. The Vet said next week if his pressure is still that great his medication can start being reduced. The Vet said that we will know in about 6 weeks if he will regain any sight. If he does not at least he is not in any pain. He is learning to deal and get around blind.

Well, as I type this I am at work. I am working overtime. I need the money to help pay off Henry’s surgery bill. I can not wait until this year is over. As of next January (January of 2005) I will have only 10 years left to go and I can retire with full benefits. I am looking forward to that. I will talk to everyone next week sometime. Take care to all and just in case I forget Happy birthday to Krystal and her sister on Friday!

I brought Henry home today and he is doing fine. He is still at his low level of sight he was when I took him into the Eye Vets. He goes back Thursday for a follow-up. I will be working a lot this week. So, this will probably be the last blog entry for a week. I might blog from work tomorrow not sure. I am working overtime twice this week and have to work regular hours Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Henry has gone in for cyro to the eye procedure. He will have it done tomorrow and have to stay at the Eye Vets for at least two days. He has lost almost all of his sight. The Vet believes (as do I) that he is seeing shadows or has very diminished sight. This should be the last surgery for him if it works. If it doesn’t he will have to have the eye removed. So, everyone please pray it works. This is costing me at least 1000.00 or more depending on any complications.

Well, I think after Charley and Frances, Hurrican Ivan is going to spare us around here. I took this week off from work to recoup from a busy last month or so. I take Henry for a Vet Eye update on Wednesday. I will let everyone know what is going on then. Take care everyone.
