Friday…

It’s been a stressful week, to say the least.  Between attorney appointments, doctor visits, union interfaces and management idiots, this week has taken a toll on me.  I can hardly wait until I can write off 2013 and get on to another year that has some potential for a happy life.  I could use a streak of good luck and some good karma. Isn’t it about my time for some good things to happen?  Did I burn up all my good luck and positive vibes in my earlier years that I was not aware of?  This negative trend needs to turn around pretty soon.  I don’t know how much more of this I can take really.

Today’s music trivia artist I ran across in the 1990s and liked them right away. They are unique in that they are a cross between rock and roll and reggae, and with a little Elvis impersonator thrown in for a twist. They basically cover Led Zeppelin songs with some Elvis lyrics blended in and a nice reggae flavor.  Can you place a name with this unique band?

Last night the World Series continued with the St Louis Cardinals defeating the Boston Red Sox 4-2 in Game 2 at Fenway.  Two errors committed on one play by the Sox’s catcher and the pitcher gave the lead to the Cardinals late in the game to lift them to a win to tie the series 1-1.  The 7 game series now moves to St Louis for Game 3 tomorrow night. 

My friend invited me to a party tonight and a nightclub, but I doubt I’m not sure if I’ll attend since I have been battling a headache all week.  It is a Hat party, where everyone is required to wear a hat and they have prizes for best hat, biggest hat, etc.  I may change my mind and go because this is probably the only Halloween party I’ll probably attend.  The fact that it is a Friday night and the party is up in the San Fernando Valley, traffic will be horrible.  I guess I will decide later on today or not to fight the traffic after work.  Friday nights and the dreaded 405 Freeway has to be the worst combination ever! 

Does anybody out there get stress headaches that lasts for days on end?  It seems like I have had this headache since Sunday evening.  I have tried several remedies to lose it but none have seemed to work.  My neck and back have been tight all this week and I am tired of having this headache.  If I am opting out of attending a fun party, you know it must be pretty bad.  I just want to lie down on the couch and rest and hope it goes away.  The meds I have taken makes it go away temporarily but once the meds wear off the headache seems to come right back.  I have not been out at night that much all week due to this headache.  A few years ago I had a constant headache for 7 weeks straight, which was terrible.  I am hoping it goes away soon.

Linus has been running a little rough lately and I’m not sure what is happening.  I have not used any fuel injection cleaner lately to keep my injectors clean and my engine running smoothly.  It is sort of like high cholesterol medication… it keeps your pipes clear.   I usually stock up on my supplies and have plenty in reserve, but my supplies must be stored in the garage someplace.  I usually stock up at the 99 cent store but the last few times I have been there they have had none.  I noticed that there is a new 99 cent store that has just opened in El Segundo recently and I need to go by there and check it out. I usually add octane boost also to help him perform better since he is so old.  Sort of like Viagra for old vehicles.  Heh heh… Linus needs his “meds” which helps keep his insides clean, healthy and running smooth.  I should be so lucky…

I love the 99 cent store.  You can go in and find all kinds of treasures for under a dollar.  We found all kinds of plastic dinnerware for Linus, plates, bowls, and cups for camping.  I always go to the 99 cent store first so I can save me some money on those little things that we all need.  We bought a bunch of cacti and succulents there and plant pots to put them in.  A cheap way to outfit yourself with some potted plants.  I still have many cactus plants behind our apartment.  Snoopy tries to avoid them at all costs.  She is definitely not fond of prickly pricks, but who is?  Heh heh…

As Snoopy says, Wag More, Bark Less…

Until Next Time… Be Good!
