Helloooooo!!!!

Hey did you know that today is black out day... yup... learned that from the home page of blogger... we are all asked to turn our lights out from 8:00 to 9:00 tonight... so... if you read this, then do like I will do... spread the word...send out an e-mail...You can send it out like you would send anything out... and we all know we send lots of garbage.... and turn out your lights from 8:00 to 9:00. For those of my friends and family that don't have e-mail... I will call them...

Ok, so what else is new... well we moved from Apopka to Maitland... and I am happier working where I am... but I still hate my job and hate most of the people I work with directly.... Ok, hate is a harsh word... I do hate my job..., but I don't enjoy workining with the people I work with directly...

Hmm.. what else... Oh yea... The Red Sox...we went to Ft. Myers... and guess what... by the time I hit Thononatsassa (spelling?) I realized I forgot the tickets...So I frantically called around and found out that I could get in if we went to the office... so we did, and they reprinted my tickets and we got in... THANK GOD!!!

So the picture is of our good friends Al & Linda Gross at the stadium... We went out to dinner afterwards, and had a nice dinner which Al would not let us pay for... but he did let us put a tank of gas in his car... since they drove to Ft. Myers, and then also took us out to lunch when we got home...

I have another picture to send my cousin... I will post it another day, and I got a picture of Youklis playing first base... it is at a distance... but it is a good picture... and oh yea... the Red Sox beat the Mets that afternoon... Not by much, but they beat them...

It was a great trip, and we have great memories from the trip...

More tomorrow... lots to talk about... and remember... turn your lights off from 8:00 to 9:00... I think it is a great idea.... I plan on sitting outside on the Patio, and lighting the laterns I bought last week at Ikea!!!

One more day in Apopka

Well there is a flurry of activity around me with people packing... I have most of my stuff done... and only the last minute stuff...

I will pack all my pictures tomorrow... (the important stuff), and the last minuted stuff tomorrow afternoon... I am also going to buy some extra alchohol this weekend...

And... this weekend it will be the Indians and the Phillies in Winterhaven, and the Dodgers and Red Sox in Vero... In Vero we are sitting on the Berm.

We also ordered 4 stadium seats for the bleachers this past weekend... and I would really like to get them today or tomorrow......

We are sitting in the bleachers in Winter Haven... and in Ft. Myers on Tuesday...

Anyway... better go... I promise to have pictures this weekend... always makes it more interesting...

Better go my break is up... the jailer is coming to put the shackles back on my ankles...

Another Day in the Salt Mines...

So this morning I had a training class in Altamonte Springs, for LD and of course as would be expected, we didn't have a sign on... Had to use another persons sign on... and of course when I got back to the office, it was a big surprise... and I was asked how I was doing my work? What kind of a stupid question is that... You wonder why I hate my job...

Anyway... they are going to get me one now... in the mean time "How am I going to do my work?"

Well I don't know, and I don't care, and when the issue comes up, I will ask what I am supposed to do.. but you know what... bet ya dollars to donuts it won't come up...

So... on to another more pleasant topic... this weekend, Saturday, we are going to Winter Haven to see the Indian and the Phillies, and Sunday we are going to Vero to see the Dodgers and Red Sox, and then Tuesday, we are leaving early for Ft. Myers to see the Red Sox and the Mets...

So... I have a nice week or two ahead of me... well, it will actually start on Friday at 5:00.... until then I will be torturous... but I will survive...

Next week I have my appointment with the Neurosurgeon on Tuesday... Hopefully I will get home early and will be able to relax...

Anyway... it is supposed to rain today and tomorrow, I think, and be nice all weekend... Hopefully I will be posting pictures of Baseball this weekend...

Oh yea, and we ordered stadium seats on e-bay this weekend, hope they come before Saturday... Hope they come before Tuesday!!!

Ok, going now...

Very Sad Weekend...

This weekend we lost our Putzen... I have mentioned her and posted pictures of her frequently through out my blog... http://heidispot.blogspot.com/2006/05/i-would-like-to-introduce-putzen.html

She went quietly, like she did everything in her life... She asked for little but what she did expect she expected adamantly...

She was tiny, and did not damage anything... but left a very big hole in my heart and our home...

I would love to have her back sitting on my lap...

When I used to come home early with a migraine, she and all my other kids would stay real close... she would lay on my back or my hip, and purr, believe me, I think she was part of the reason my migraines went away...

Mathie, who you have met on this blog, stayed right by herside if George or I were not by her... so... I guess you could say that we stayed real close to her until her heart stopped beating, and our tears started flowing...

Saturday afternoon, when I would go outside and the world kept going, and no one else seemed upset, I found myself resenting the fact that everyone and everything didn't stop or pause to remember her, and how she was.

I am starting to get over that feeling..., starting to, because as I am writing this I have that lump in my throat, and the heavy heart I had all weekend...

Well Putzen, where ever you are, I hope that you found my Dad... because that is the only way I will ever get any peace. There better be a "Rainbow Bridge".. that is all I have to say...
