Friday night we spent the night watching the movie Killer Joe. It was a good movie and worth seeing. A little violent and very dysfunctional. Went to bed around 10 PM.
Saturday morning we were up at 7:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Made eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast. Spent most of the morning just watching home improvement shows. Around 1 PM we went to take a nap with the dogs which of course led to the lovin thing prior to the nap. Got up around 3 PM when Tony's sister called on the phone. After we fed the dogs supper we went out for supper ourselves. Went to the old Palermo Villa restaurant that was always our favorite and the first place we had dinner together on our first date. The name has changed, and I can not even remember what it is now called, but the food was much the same. Ended up having a great meal of chicken parmigiana, egg plant strips and salad and bread. Came to $70 with tip, which is a little on the high end for me, I am so cheap. Came home and spent the night watching the movie The Dark Knight Rises. It was a good movie. Went to bed around 10:30 PM.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Made pancakes for breakfast with some bacon. Spent the morning watching TV. Took a little nap with the dogs which again turned into the lovin thing prior to napping. Spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening watching last season and this season of Happily Divorced. I do like the show and think it is very funny. Spent the night watching the movie Naked Boys Singing. Was actually better than I had thought. Yes, it is a movie where men sing the entire show, naked. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspapers and went grocery shopping for some nachos and dip for tonight. Made a reservation at the Fox Point Theater for two tickets to see Les Miserables tonight at 6:50 PM. We decided to go out for a movie and dinner all in one, it is a dinner theater restaurant and bar, and then come home and watch Anderson Cooper ring in the New Year. I am looking forward to seeing the movie and have seen the play three times. So, a very laid back, low key New Years for us this year. We will hopefully be home safe and sound wrapped in a blanket as midnight hits.
Happy New Year to all my followers. May you have a healthy and happy 2013.

December 28, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching and episode of CSI on the DVR and then the movie Hope Springs. It was a god enough movie and was worth watching. Hopefully it gave Tony something to think about as the years go by together. Went to bed around 10 PM for a little lovin before we went to sleep.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs at 7 AM. Couldn't get Vito to eat his food until about a half hour later. Not sure why he doesn't want to eat. Something is just not right with him. Spent the morning reading the newspapers, downloading a couple movies, and cruising the Internet for information. Showered and met the guys for lunch. Had a great lunch as usual and more showed up then usual. Had to extend the table. Came home and took a short nap with the dogs while we listened to music. Making left over spaghetti for supper tonight with a salad. I will most likely just eat a salad and call it done. No plans this weekend. Might go out to supper tomorrow night at a restaurant that was our favorite that closed and now has reopened under a different name, just to check it out and see if it has changed drastically. Knew the old owners well and always felt at home eating there. Hope it hasn't changed too much. Was hovering at 32 degrees all day today. Snowed a little this morning and suppose to get a couple inches of snow tonight. The ground is covered with snow and we need a another inch or so to cover it now that it has turned black or brown in areas.

Around 4 PM Vito threw up all over the couch and blankets. Got them all rinsed and then in the washing machine. Had a hard time getting Vito to eat supper and he did not eat until about 6 PM so I could give him his shot. Spent last night watching the last three episodes of season one of Homeland. I was so frustrated with the ending, but I guess they do that so you tune in for season two. To see her getting her brain fried just as she remembered a key clue was hard to watch and then see it end. Took a break in between the second and third episode for a little lovin. Went to bed around 10:30 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Left the house around 7:15 AM to have my blood drawn and tested again, like we do every six months. Thankfully my doctor told me last time, when he gave me the paperwork for this blood test, that I would only need to call him for the blood result numbers rather than having to make an appointment and go see him, wasting both our time. I think it has more to do with the fact I am on Medicare and he is such a specialist, that Medicare does not reimburse him at the rate he would charge most insurance and co pays. Works for me since I just want to know where I stand with my TCell count and that I am still undetectable. We only tested for those things and not a full blood test of liver, kidneys, etc, this one time. Stopped off at McDonald's for a steak egg cheese bagel. Got home around 8 AM and spent the morning doing things around the house. Took down a couple Christmas decorations and put them in the basement. Will slowly take them down, but want to leave them up for a while yet. The house looks so nice and big when they are all gone, and not cluttered. Was told by my neighbor it is bad luck to take them down before the New Year. Around noon I saw it was 28 degrees, but no wind, so I went for a long walk to Pick N Save to deposit my property tax refund and buy some salad, apples, grapes and ice cream. Walked home with the two bags of groceries. Was glad I took the walk rather than drive since I have not walked in a while and it really felt good to get out and walk again. Laid on the bed listening to music with the dogs for an hour or so this afternoon. Making spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad for supper tonight. Not sure if we will start season two of Homeland tonight or take a break for it for a night or two until the weekend. If we do not start Homeland season two tonight we will most likely watch a movie I downloaded.

December 26, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Had a nice time Monday night, Christmas Eve, at Tony's brother's home. Sat around talking and playing games. Got home around 10 PM and went to bed after a little lovin.
Christmas Day we were up at 7:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning reading the newspaper and watching TV. Left the house around noon to go to my parents house. Had a great time with the folk and the bother and sister and her family. Brought Bo with us and he played the entire time with everyone. He had a ball. He did again cry the entire ride out to their house which is about 50 minutes. Such a baby. When we got to their house he remembered from the last time and walked right up to the front door and into the house to greet everyone. Was glad we brought him. Got some good gifts and the yearly 'envelope' from my dad with cash. Always love the 'envelope' gift. Dad increased the envelope to $400 each this year, so I was very happy. Got home around 5 PM and spent the night watching four more episodes of Homeland. Up to episode 10 of the first season. It is getting interesting. Went to bed around 9:30 PM to do the lovin thing and went to sleep shortly thereafter.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs, gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning cleaning and doing things around the house. Left the house around 11 AM to go to Walgreen's for two prescriptions and then to the tailor to drop off a leather jacket that needs a new zipper. Spent the afternoon listening to music with the dogs. Called me parents this afternoon to find out how my dads heart test went today. Guess they stopped and restarted his heart today to get it working better. He is fine and just has to go back in 6 weeks. Guess they had to shock him twice to get his heart rhythm back to how it should be. Kinda scary, would hate to loose a parent but it will happen one day. Making left over ham sandwiches for supper and a salad. Will most likely spend the night watching a couple more episodes of Homeland. It was in the high 20s today and cloudy in Milwaukee. The ground is still covered with snow. Still haven't gotten my big present from Tony which is most likely a generator. He went to get it at the shop on Monday but could not lift it by himself so he did not bring it home. Was thinking he would bring it home during the day today, so far he has not. I'm not sure how he will get it home tonight since he did not take the truck to work. He has not come out and said it is a generator, but enough hints to others and conversations lead me to believe it is. Hope he brings it home eventually, Christmas was yesterday. LOL

Merry Christmas!
Saturday afternoon we met my family at a TGI Friday for lunch. Had a great lunch at the Miller Park Stadium restaurant. Came home and spent the night watching TV and the movie The Good Doctor. It was an OK movie.
Sunday morning we went out for brunch at the Hubbard Park Restaurant. Had a great brunch and talked with the staff as we ate. I love this restaurant and feel so at home and relaxed eating there. Spent the rest of the day napping and then started watching the show Homeland. Got through the first five episodes before we went to bed around 10:30 PM. I do like the show and can see where it is going and why everyone says it is so good. Will continue to watch and hopefully get through a couple episodes today or tomorrow.
Got up this morning at 7 AM. Tony drove to McDonald's around 9 AM to get us some breakfast. He is now at his shop picking up my Christmas present. Why he didn't bring it home on Friday I don't know why. After he gets home he will then have to go get the bread rolls I ordered for tonight at his brothers house. Going to Tony's brother's house tonight and then my family tomorrow in the afternoon. Looking forward to a nice nap this afternoon.
Merry Christmas everyone. Will write all about my Christmas tomorrow of Wednesday.

December 21, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching a couple episodes of Glee, then an episode of CSI, before we went to bed around 10 PM, after the lovin thing.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Was going to go out and shovel but the inch or so left of snow is all ice and can't be shoveled. I did shovel once last night before I went to bed. Will just hope for temperatures above freezing to melt it, or put some salt out this weekend. Spend the morning doing my usual Friday movie downloads. Had lunch with the guys. Great lunch as always exchanging gifts and having great conversation. Drove to Big Lots for a couple last minute presents for Tony. I am now officially done Christmas shopping. Got home and took a nice two hour nap with the dogs. The thermometer outside says it is 24 degrees. With the wind it feels much colder. Not making supper tonight because we are going to go to a bar call Kruz to meet one of the guys we have lunch with and take part in the bar Christmas party. Told Tony at lunch we would go to the bar tonight for two drinks and some food. Being so cold outside I will find it hard to bundle up to go out to a bar when I could just relax on the couch in the nice warm house. Tomorrow we are meeting my parents and my sister, her husband, and two kids for lunch at a TGI Friday here in Milwaukee. Will be nice to see them and give the kids their presents. No plans on Sunday so we will most likely stay indoor, nice and warm. Winter is here and it sure feels like it.

December 20, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching some TV from the DVR and then watched the movie Beneath The Darkness. It was a good movie. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning doing things around the house since it was raining outside. Nasty weather day here in Milwaukee. Thankfully we are by the lake and it is rain because west of here they are getting a foot or more of snow. Did four loads of laundry and cleaned and dusted today. Spent the afternoon listening to music. Making a beef pot roast with potatoes and carrots with a salad for supper tonight. The house smells so good since it has been cooking since noon. The rain has finally turned to snow. The temperature has dropped to freezing and the snow is coming down fast. The grass should be covered in no time. Suppose to get a couple inches of snow before it ends around midnight. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR since I started downloading the series Homeland today. Two seasons of Homeland will have to be watched so I better clear the DVR. We have about 40 shows on the DVR to watch. I keep hearing how good the show Homeland is so I thought I would download the first two seasons and see for myself.

December 19, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching two movies. Watched an old 1975 movie called Race With The Devil and then the movie The Watch. RWTD was much better than The Watch. I honestly can't believe so many actors got together to make suck a stupid movie. Did they think it was an updated Ghostbusters movie? Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Left the house around 9:30 AM and went to McDonald's for some breakfast and then to Pick N Save to do some grocery shopping. Didn't need much but thought better to stock the house with the snow storm approaching. Got home and left shortly after to drive to ARCW to pick up my monthly prescriptions. Actually picked them up a few days early because of tomorrows snow storm and the holidays next week. One of the five prescriptions they will mail to me since they needed the doctors approval to refill it and it still had not been called in. Picked up my monthly food at the pantry and a lot of bread for my rabbits out back that I feed in the back yard nightly. Around noon I bundled up and went for a nice long walk in the 30 degree weather we had today. There was no wind so being bundled up kept me nice and warm. Took a short nap with the dogs and got up to start making supper. Making spaghetti and salads tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching a couple movies. Tonight a big snow storm moves into our area. We should be spared most of it being close to the lake and the temperatures staying near freezing. But west of here should get 8 to 12 inches according to the forecast. Guess tomorrow will be a day of shoveling heavy wet snow. We are expected to get 4 to 6 inches of wet heavy snow. Tony took the truck to work today to put the plow on the front of it. He finally finished my car repair yesterday and I got my car back to use today. I do love my car. I forgot to say, I got another call the other day from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. Same scam as before. This time I told him 'I know this is a scram so stop calling me'. He said 'fuck you, then I will call you 100 times', and I hung up. Not sure what that ment but I hope the calls stop. I hate scammers.

December 18, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching a little TV and then started the movie The Trip. Got about a half hour into the movie and it just was not for us. Started a different movie called Osombie. It was a zombie movie which I do enjoy. As we watched it though I looked at Tony and said 'no wonder there are so many nut jobs out there killing people with movies like this'. Lot of blood and killing of zombies. Finished the night watching Hawaii Five O before going to bed around 10 PM. Couldn't sleep and ended up getting my IPod and listening to some music until about midnight.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read a little of the morning newspaper and then left the house around 9:30 AM and went to Walgreen's to buy some sale items. Came home and left at 10:30 AM to go to Target and return the vacuum we bought on Sunday and then go to Southridge Mall. Did just that and spent about 3 hours walking around the mall and buying a few last Christmas items. Ended up buying myself more presents than I bought for Tony. When I was eating lunch in the mall I noticed it snowing quite hard outside, big snow flakes. Finished my lunch and thought it best to head home since I had all I needed in presents. Bought one last hooded sweat shirt for Tony on the way out of Sears. I like it so much it might just turn out to be mine after I give it to him. LOL. Got home around 2:30 PM and will spend the rest of the day watching TV with the dogs, watching the snow fall. This is our first measurable snow this season and we broke the record for longest amount of days without snow this year. I think we were at 288 days without snow as of today. Will most likely get less than an inch today. Looks very pretty outside with the trees covered in snow. Making a frozen pizza and salad for supper tonight. Will most likely just spend the night watching TV and a movie before we go to bed. I think I am done Christmas shopping. Might just stop by Big Lots one last time between now and Christmas, but for the most part, I am done.

December 17, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Friday night Tony called his mom to confirm plans to have supper together for her Birthday on Saturday. We spent the night watching the movies Gayby and Nate & Margaret. Both were gay themed movies and entertaining enough. Went to bed around 11 PM.
Saturday we spent most of the day just laying around the house figuring we would shower around 2 PM so we could be at Tony's mom's house around 4 PM to take her out for supper. Around 2 PM Tony's mom called to say she didn't feel like going out for supper and could we do it another time. I actually knew this would happen and told Tony the night before that I expect her to call a couple hours prior and say she doesn't want to go. She is over weight and has no ambition to do anything. If we go anywhere and walk for any length of time she complains. Well, start walking more. Showered and fed the dogs early so we could leave the house around 4:30 PM and go shopping at Mayfair Mall. Spent about 3 hours shopping and came home with two hats for Tony and some small gifts for the nephews. Everything is so expensive and we need nothing. It felt good to be out with all the people and the Christmas trees and music. Got home a little after 9 PM and watched a little TV before going to bed around 11 PM.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Started a new bottle of Insulin for Vito. Around 9 AM Tony asked me if he could call his mom and we could go have breakfast. We showered and made it to her house by 10:30 AM. Had breakfast and then went to Target to do some Christmas shopping. Was surprised she wanted to come with us. Of course she was done shopping, checked out and waiting at the door before we even got through the store. Dropped her off and came home. Tony then went to his shop to get a battery charger since my car would not start this morning and we had to take the truck. I had been having problems and even had Tony listen to the car start on Friday at lunch, so I knew something was wrong. Spent the rest of the day watching TV and then watched the movies Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days and The Amazing Spiderman. Both were good movies but did we really need another remake of Spiderman? Went to bed around 10 PM and did the lovin thing.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Tony left for work around 7:30 AM with my car. He left me the keys to the truck but since I have never driven it, I figured I just would stay home all day. Spent the morning wrapping Christmas presents and doing things around the house. Took a nice two hour nap with the dogs this afternoon. Wish I would have taken a walk but it is only 34 degrees outside and cloudy so it would have been a cold walk. Hopefully tomorrow. Ordered a projection bulb for our TV on the Internet this morning. Found a great deal and the price has come down below a $100 for the bulb. We had planned on just getting a new TV but now that the price of the bulb is cheaper I figure best to just have a bulb as back up and keep the TV. Hopefully the bulb is good at the price I bought it at. They used to be closer to $500 when we bought the TV 3 years ago. Making a Hormel pork roast, rice and salad for supper tonight. Will most likely watching a little TV from the DVR and then a movie before we go to bed. Hoping I have a car tomorrow so I can do some shopping and leave the house for a bit. The dogs get way too needy when I am home all day.
Saturday we spent most of the day just laying around the house figuring we would shower around 2 PM so we could be at Tony's mom's house around 4 PM to take her out for supper. Around 2 PM Tony's mom called to say she didn't feel like going out for supper and could we do it another time. I actually knew this would happen and told Tony the night before that I expect her to call a couple hours prior and say she doesn't want to go. She is over weight and has no ambition to do anything. If we go anywhere and walk for any length of time she complains. Well, start walking more. Showered and fed the dogs early so we could leave the house around 4:30 PM and go shopping at Mayfair Mall. Spent about 3 hours shopping and came home with two hats for Tony and some small gifts for the nephews. Everything is so expensive and we need nothing. It felt good to be out with all the people and the Christmas trees and music. Got home a little after 9 PM and watched a little TV before going to bed around 11 PM.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Started a new bottle of Insulin for Vito. Around 9 AM Tony asked me if he could call his mom and we could go have breakfast. We showered and made it to her house by 10:30 AM. Had breakfast and then went to Target to do some Christmas shopping. Was surprised she wanted to come with us. Of course she was done shopping, checked out and waiting at the door before we even got through the store. Dropped her off and came home. Tony then went to his shop to get a battery charger since my car would not start this morning and we had to take the truck. I had been having problems and even had Tony listen to the car start on Friday at lunch, so I knew something was wrong. Spent the rest of the day watching TV and then watched the movies Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Dog Days and The Amazing Spiderman. Both were good movies but did we really need another remake of Spiderman? Went to bed around 10 PM and did the lovin thing.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Tony left for work around 7:30 AM with my car. He left me the keys to the truck but since I have never driven it, I figured I just would stay home all day. Spent the morning wrapping Christmas presents and doing things around the house. Took a nice two hour nap with the dogs this afternoon. Wish I would have taken a walk but it is only 34 degrees outside and cloudy so it would have been a cold walk. Hopefully tomorrow. Ordered a projection bulb for our TV on the Internet this morning. Found a great deal and the price has come down below a $100 for the bulb. We had planned on just getting a new TV but now that the price of the bulb is cheaper I figure best to just have a bulb as back up and keep the TV.

December 14, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Tony got home from work last night around 5:30 PM. We ate supper and as he got out of the shower around 7 PM I asked him if he was in the mood for a little lovin. Got the lovin out of the way so we could just relax the night away and not be too tired later for it. Watched American Horror Story, Criminal Minds and a couple other half hour sitcoms before going to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspapers and downloaded a couple movies. Took a shower and went to Walgreen's around 10:30 AM for some Advil Cold and Sinus and a $50 gift card for my brother for a Christmas present. Got home in time to hear of the horrible shootings in CT today at the school. Went to lunch with the guys. Had a great lunch. Came home and got the news on so I could hear about the shootings. Could not believe so many lost their lives. What the hell is wrong with people? What kind of nut job goes around shooting little kids at a school? Big man he must of thought he was. Went for a long walk along the river and go home around 3 PM. Will just spend the rest of the day listening to the news. Making salads and left over spaghetti for supper tonight. Will most likely watch some TV from the DVR and then a movie before we go to bed. Saturday we will take Tony's mom out for lunch or supper for her Birthday. Suppose to rain all day on Saturday. Today it was 41 degrees and sunny when I went for my walk. No wind so it felt good outside and not too cold. Sunday I hope to get Tony to a mall for some Christmas shopping. Tony has informed me he has my gift already. Of course I had to keep asking for hints and he told me 'it is something you have wanted for a long time'. It took me a half day to finally figure it out, I think. I know I have wanted a Generator for a long time and when I said the word he smiled. I have always said I wanted one in case of an emergency and when I thought he did indeed get one, my first thought was NO, I don't need that. Then I thought more about it and said 'what is Christmas for'. It is to give and receive things you wouldn't normally buy for yourself, but would like to have. So if it is a Generator, I will be happy even if I never use it. I guess if I never use it, that is a good thing?

December 13, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Went to the Holly Jolly Follies fund raiser last night. Had a nice time until Tony spilled a cup of soup all down his suit coat as we were standing, eating and drinking. I swear sometimes he can be such a pain in the ass and I wonder why I take him to classy events like this. Got his suit all cleaned in the bathroom and continued sampling the foods around the room. After that was the play Sense And Sensibility. The first half of the play was good, I enjoyed it, but Tony looked at me at intermission and said 'can we go home, I'm so tired'. So we left. Came home and went to bed about a half hour later. I was in the mood for some lovin, but Tony was tired and was sleeping before I could even make a move.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning doing things around the house. Cleaned the basement bathroom and side area storage, which took about an hour. Took a nap with the dogs in the afternoon until the neighbor called and got me out of bed to ask me if I wanted a batch of Christmas cookies, like last year. Told her yes and that I would be over after my shower to get them. Showered and then walked across the alley to talk with the neighbor for an hour and get the cookies she made for us. Nice assortment of cookies she makes every year. Of course I wish she would have called earlier because this morning I made chocolate brownies with vanilla frosting. So now we have a lot of sweet junk food to eat around the house. Making spaghetti, garlic bread and salad for supper tonight. Will most likely watch last night's American Horror Story and more TV from the DVR before we go to bed tonight. Thinking I might just ask for some lovin when Tony gets out of the shower so he doesn't get to tired and fall asleep before I get some. Been a few days and I need some lovin. It is nice that after almost 24 years we still do the lovin thing a few times each week. Not many couples together this long still want that from their partners. I still get turned on by Tony and think he is MY handsome man.

December 12, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching the gay themed movie called Everyone. It was about two guys about to have a Holy Union. It was about all the dysfunctional people attending the Holy Union, and they all were dysfunctional including the two guys having the Holy Union. It was an OK movie but ended rather quickly which left us sitting there saying, 'what'? Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Went to McDonald's for some breakfast on my way to Pick N Save to do the weekly grocery shopping. When I got home there was an email from the lady who is our board liaison and works at ARCW asking if we still wanted to attend tonight's Holly Jolly Follies Festival fundraiser. She put two tickets at the door for us. Called Tony to tell him to come home early tonight and where we are going. About 30 Milwaukee restaurants serving finger food and then a play in the theater after the eating. Last year we went and had a great time. Even the play after was good. Since it was now about 11:30 AM and it was sunny and 40 degrees, I decided to go for my usual walk along the river trails. Bundled up good to stay warm and was actually too warm by the time I got close to home and had my jacket open. Took a two hour nap with the dogs so I would be refreshed for tonight. Honestly, I think it just made me tired, this coffee better kick in. Will have to feed the dogs a bit early tonight to get to the fundraiser by 5:30 PM. Noticed the DVR is recording a lot tonight, in fact at 9 PM, four shows will be recording. Will have to make sure I have the signal off or it will think a fifth show on the TV is being viewed and one of the four shows will not record. We can only record or watch a total of four shows at any one time with ATT. Got to get dressed in my suit for tonight's event. Should be fun and only cost us parking.

December 11, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Shortly after I posted yesterday I got a call from the Milwaukee Journal. It was the guy who ran my editorial in the newspaper that day. He said he got a strange request today, a call from WE Energies wanting my phone number so they could call me and respond to my editorial about them placing a half page ad in the newspaper and who paid for it. I said I would be happy to talk to him and within an hour I got a call from the rep from WE Energies. He tried explaining the rate increases and then told me 'we' did not pay for the ad, the share holders did. Well, to me that is just a big circle of profits going to shareholders that could have just lowered our rates rather than dividends to them. But I thanked him for calling, we both were very nice on the phone, and I did appreciate the call since I put the editorial in the newspaper to get a response, and got one. Called me dad and told him all about it. Spent the night watching some shows on the DVR and then the gay themed movie called Nine Dead Gay Guys. It was dark humor. We did enjoy the movie. Half way through watching the movie I heard my email say I had mail and sure enough the problem of not getting my ATT email somehow fixed itself and my email box filled with the days emails. Was glad I didn't spend more time on the phone trying to fix the problem. Was going to work on it today if it wasn't fixed over night. Went to bed around 10 PM after watching Hawaii Five O.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Had a good productive day today. By 8:30 AM I headed back to the basement and spent the entire morning until 12:30 PM cleaning the paint room and scrap wood room. Our house is over a 100 years old and the basement has all these rooms off the main basement. Ended up carrying out to the garage many loads of scrap wood I have been keeping and cans of paint that has dried up. Filled two big city garbage cans out back. Laid down for an hour to rest since my body ached and my back hurts. Got up and got the mail which contained my calender I ordered on the Internet over the weekend with big block days to write things in. Also got a big box of steaks from my brother and his partner for Christmas. Six big steaks wrapped in bacon. Making two of them for supper tonight. Also got my tax bill and for once the escrow check to cover it is more than the tax bill so I will get a small refund. Hey, a refund is a refund and $280 will come in handy this Christmas. Got on the Internet and ordered my brothers Christmas present. He should get it next week. Don't want to say what it is because he sometimes reads my blog. Going to take a pain pill and lay back and watch TV since my body hurts from carrying up all the scrap wood from the basement. Making two bacon wrapped steaks and mashed potatoes with a salad for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching more TV from the DVR and a movie I downloaded. Was 30 degrees today, sunny, slight breeze. We broke a record here in Milwaukee for most days without snow, 281 as of today. Haven't had measurable snow since last March which, like I said, is a record we broke. I swear the world is changing faster than we realize and global warming is a reality.

December 10, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Friday night we watched the movie called Lucky Bastard. It was a gay themed movie and very good. Glad we took the time to watch it. Went to bed around 10 PM.
Saturday morning we slept in until about 7:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning watching home improvement shows. Around noon we went out for lunch and then went to Fleet Farm to do some Christmas shopping. Got some Christmas presents for both of us to open on Christmas Day. Got home around 4 PM and spent the night watching TV from the DVR and then the gay themed movie called Say Uncle. Was a good movie about a guy who loves playing with children and how a neighbor took it the wrong way and accused him of being a pedophile. Thankfully it ended happy. It is always something I worry about when it comes to our nephews. Why is it people think just because your gay, you might molest a kid. Nothing about a kid is attractive or sexually stimulating to me. Hell, bottom line, I like a man with hair under his arms and between his legs. Not a kid. Went to bed around 10:30 PM after a little lovin.
Sunday morning we were up by 7 AM. Got the dogs taken care of and spent and early morning reading the Sunday newspaper. Later in the morning when I realized Tony was in a 'do nothing today' mood, I started a project organizing the back hallway closet and all the tools. Tony napped on the couch most of the afternoon. It rained all day Sunday so it wasn't like we were going to go anywhere anyway. We took a short nap on the bed in the afternoon and then went back to watching TV. Watched the movie Ted. I liked it. I actually cried when the 'teddy bear' died. How sad is that? Spent the night watching the Amazing Race final and went to bed around 9 PM for some lovin and sleep.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the newspapers and a letter I sent to the editor was in the newspaper today. I wrote in last week about a half page ad in the newspaper placed by our electric company 'tooting there own horn' about how good a company they are, like we have any other power source options. This on top of the story that day saying they need more money and are increasing our rates 3.4%. I wanted to know how much a half page ad costs in the newspaper and if that money wouldn't be better spent on our rate increase. Spent the entire morning trying to fix my ATT email account on Windows Live. For some reason Windows Live is picking up my Live email address emails, but will not get the from my ATT email address. After about an hour on the phone with tech support and no answers I finally just settled for today getting my ATT email from the ATT web sight rather than through Windows Live. I still don't have it fixed and an error message comes up each time I try to get ATT email. Did very little all day today. Never even left the house. It is about 30 degrees outside and cloudy, cold. Making a frozen lasagna for supper with salad and bread. We will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DRV and then a movie if Tony stays awake. This week is looking very boring and I have nothing on the calendar. I don't feel like Christmas shopping until next week, the week prior to Christmas, so I think I am going to keep cleaning around the basement. Or maybe I'll start another book.

December 7, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching American Horror Story, Criminal Minds, and Raising Hope off the DVR before going to bed around 10 PM.
Got up this morning at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspaper and downloaded a couple movies I thought might be interesting. Around 9 AM Tony called to tell me the Anti Virus software he installed this week at the shop was again asking for serial numbers and not accepting the ones we have. Turned on my laptop and saw the same problem. The main computer is working fine and the antivirus software is good for three computers. Around 10 AM I called Best Buy like the prompt said, since it is a Best Buy product, and after 45 minutes on the phone with tech support I was told there is a problem and I will have to go to Best Buy to have them figure it out. Guess I just figured out what I was going to do this afternoon. Met Tony and the guys for lunch. Had a great lunch and the Birthday boy paid so lunch was on him. Always makes the food taste better when someone else is paying, LOL. Followed Tony back to the shop to get the anti virus disc he had and forgot to bring to lunch, and with my laptop I drove to Best Buy. Took about an hour and everything they tried was new to them and they could not figure out the problem. The tech guy then just wanted to install the antivirus on the laptop from HIS disc and I said this was not an option since then how would I load it on Tony's shop computer. I finally had to ask for the manager and I got what I wanted, a new CD of Anti Virus software with three computers and one year subscription. Figured after all this I deserved it since my virus software didn't expire until August 2013. So for all my work I got 5 months free Virus protection. Drove home and spent the rest of the afternoon deleting the old virus software and downloading the new disc onto the main and laptop computers. Will give the disc to Tony to take to work on Monday and install it on the shop computer. Not sure where the day went but I can not believe it is this late in the day already. I could have really used a nap and am very tired. This cup of coffee I am drinking isn't helping much with waking me up. Might have to be an early night tonight. If it wasn't so late I would lay down for a while but if I do it this late in the day I won't be able to sleep tonight. Making salads and left overs for supper tonight. Hoping to watch a little on the DVR and then a movie if we can stay up late enough for one. No plans this weekend. Hopefully I will get Tony to go to a mall with me one day so we start the Christmas shopping, even though I still am not feeling it.

December 6, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching TV from the DVR. Went to sleep around 10:30 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read some of the morning newspaper and then around 10 AM I left the house to go to McDonald's and then Pick N Save. Had to buy some cupcakes for the Birthday boy at tomorrows lunch. Got home and left the house again a little after 11 AM to go for a walk along the river trails. The thermometer said it was 40 degrees but it did not feel that cold due to no wind. It was also partly cloudy. Bundled up and took the walk since tomorrow is suppose to be much colder and going forward it doesn't look warm. Tried to take a nap with the dogs but Tony called just as I was falling asleep and wanted to know if I was ready to get rid of the king size mattress in the basement. I kept it when we got a new one from my parents. I hate giving stuff up and have told Tony many times, no. Got out of bed a little before 3 PM and called Tony to tell him he could give the mattress to his employee since we honestly have no need for it. Around 4 PM Tony and the employee came and dragged the mattress up the basement steps and tied it to his truck. Making a frozen pizza and salad tonight for supper. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR, especially last night's American Horror Story on AMC that I recorded.

Had to buy some cupcakes for the Birthday boy at tomorrows lunch. Got home and left the house again a little after 11 AM to go for a walk along the river trails. The thermometer said it was 40 degrees but it did not feel that cold due to no wind. It was also partly cloudy. Bundled up and took the walk since tomorrow is suppose to be much colder and going forward it doesn't look warm. Tried to take a nap with the dogs but Tony called just as I was falling asleep and wanted to know if I was ready to get rid of the king size mattress in the basement. I kept it when we got a new one from my parents. I hate giving stuff up and have told Tony many times, no. Got out of bed a little before 3 PM and called Tony to tell him he could give the mattress to his employee since we honestly have no need for it. Around 4 PM Tony and the employee came and dragged the mattress up the basement steps and tied it to his truck. Making a frozen pizza and salad tonight for supper. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR, especially last night's American Horror Story on AMC that I recorded.

December 5, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching another movie I downloaded called Adam And Steve. It was another good movie worth the time and glad I downloaded it. From the title you can tell it was a gay themed movie. Went to bed around 9:30 PM and went to sleep after doing the lovin thing.
This morning I was up at 6 AM with stomach cramps. Once I finally got off the toilet I fed the dogs and went back to bed. Tony gave me a kiss goodbye as I laid in bed. Slept until around 10 AM and spent the day doing things around the house and cruising the Internet. Was sad to hear a blog I follow about a dog named Ronan who had his leg amputated due to cancer a couple weeks ago and has been on chemo since then, guess the dog now has a big tumor on the other leg and it is just now a matter of how long to put the dog through this. The guy loves his dog and says he will do the right thing and not let his dog be in pain. He has spent over $5000 on the surgery and chemo and now all for nothing. So sad and brought a tear to my eye. Been down that road with five dogs and it never gets easier. It was in the 30s today and partly cloudy. The wind made it feel cold outside. I did at one point drive to Tony's shop to drop off his cell phone that he left on the charger. Got tired of answering it so thought it best to drop it off. Was going to go do some Christmas shopping but I just am not in the mood yet. Guess I have to wait until the week before to feel the pressure and maybe be in the Christmas spirit. Plus I can't honestly think of anything we need besides a new vacuum. Making a hamburger helper lasagna tonight for supper with garlic bread and salads. Will most likely spend the night watching from the DVR since the last two nights have started to fill up the DVR. Watching Ellen right now on TV. Her camera crew came to Milwaukee last night at the Walgreen's right here by our house. Today they are showing the film from last night. Was hoping I would see her but she did not come, just her camera crew and a co host. Everyone was told to wear an ugly Christmas sweater. Was hoping they would have a pic of our house since it is quite well known and Ellen show was a half mile from our house. Going to go watch the rest of Ellen..............

December 4, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Stella threw up again right before supper time. Fed the dogs around 5 PM and she ate it all up. Still kind of concerned about her. Spent last night watching a little TV from the DVR, then watched the movie Dog Tags. It was a very good gay themed movie I downloaded the other day. Was glad I downloaded it. Rained most of the night. At times it was coming down so hard you could hardly see the apartment across the street. Went to bed around 10 PM.
Got up this morning at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning cleaning windows and screens. Got all the living room windows cleaned and looking good inside and outside. Left the house around 10 AM for some breakfast at McDonald's and then headed to Pick N Save to do the weekly grocery shopping. I usually grocery shop on Wednesdays for double coupon day but since I didn't have any coupons for this week I thought to just go today and get it over with. Took a nice long walk along the river trails around noon. The sun was out and in the 50s so I thought best to enjoy it while it lasts. Laid on the couch for an hour listening to the new Ke$ha CD and the new Pink CD. I do like the newest CD by Pink. Went outside again and hung some outside Christmas decorations which included the lighted reindeer in the front yard. Think I am done now and hung the last of the two strands of lights outside. Changed the outside lights to green and red also to add to the Christmas look. Making a Hormel beef roast and scalloped potatoes for supper with a salad. Will most likely spend the night watching TV and maybe another downloaded gay themed movie. Tonight a cold front comes through and the temperature is expected to drop to the 20s.

December 3, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Friday night we spent the night watching TV. Went to bed a little after 10 PM and did the lovin thing. Fell asleep a little after that.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. Tony went to work in the morning to meet the police at his shop. The prior night someone jumped his fence and stole a few batteries out of some cars along with the some car parts in the side yard. Got the guy on camera so Tony wanted to show the police the video. Tony didn't get home until close to noon because the police even took finger prints to catch this guy. I spent the morning cleaning the pond pump and filling the pond one last time. I keep saying that but you would expect the pond to be frozen over by now. It was in the 50s on Saturday. I also took my usual walk along the river trail before Tony got home. Tony and I tried to take a nap but we got up in about an hour without sleeping. The dogs just couldn't get settled. Ordered a pizza for delivery and spent the night watching TV, going to bed around 10:30 PM.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. Tony informed me Stella threw up around 6 AM when he got out of bed with her. Thankfully Tony cleaned up the mess before I got up and the mess was not on the bed. Noticed Stella had a sore on her nose and under her mouth. Figured if it didn't go away we would take her to the vet on Monday. Went out for breakfast at George Webb's and then walked across the street to go to Walgreen's to buy some sale items. Stopped off at the new Dollar General store a couple blocks away that opened the day before. Bought enough stuff to use the $5 off coupon on $20 spent. Since it was close to 60 degrees I talked Tony into going for a long walk along the East side of the river. I usual walk the West side of the river in my daily walks. Took our time and had fun. Got home in about 2 hours. Spent the rest of the day and night watching TV from the DVR. Spent the late night watching Amazing Race and Good Wife before going to bed. Did the lovin thing and fell asleep.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. After I made a vet appointment for Bo to get his toe nails trimmed (Stella seems fine today, I think she just had a reaction to the bile or something she ate), I went back to bed and stayed in bed until about noon when my mom called. Got up and after I did a little around the house I took a shower and soon it was close to 3 PM and time to take Bo to the vet for his nail trim. Of course he cried the entire way to the vet, in the vets office, and could hear him in the back as they trimmed his nails. He is such a baby. He needs to get out more. It has been foggy all day and in the 50s. Damp and not a nice day outside here in Milwaukee. Making sweet and sour chicken and rice for supper tonight with a salad. Will spend the night watching TV. I did download a bunch of movies yesterday and maybe I might put one on tonight if Tony isn't sleeping on the couch by 8 PM. We got the DVR pretty clear and soon the Christmas reruns will be playing so I don't mind keeping some shows on the DVR for later viewing. Days like this I could sleep all day. Of course now that the sun is setting and it is getting dark, the fog has cleared and looks like the sun could come out if there was more hours in the day.

December 1, 2012 World AIDS Day
What is World AIDS Day?
World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.Why is World AIDS Day important?
Around 100,000 are currently living with HIV in the UK and globally an estimated 34 million people have HIV. More than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007 have died from the virus, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.Today, many scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment, there are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the condition. But despite this, people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others from HIV, and stigma and discrimination remain a reality for many people living with HIV. World AIDS Day is important as it reminds the public and Government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.
What should I do on World AIDS Day?
World AIDS Day is an opportunity for you to learn the facts about HIV and put your knowledge into action. Find out how much you know by taking our online quiz: Are you HIV aware? Test your knowledge and awareness by taking the quiz and act aware by passing the quiz on and sharing it with your friends on Twitter and Facebook.If you understand how HIV is transmitted, how it can be prevented, and the reality of living with HIV today - you can use this knowledge to take care of your own health and the health of others, and ensure you treat everyone living with HIV fairly, and with respect and understanding. Click here to find out the facts.
You can also show your support for people living with HIV on World AIDS Day by wearing a red ribbon, the international symbol of HIV awareness.
World AIDS Day is also a great opportunity to raise money for NAT (National AIDS Trust) and show your support for people living with HIV.

November 30, 2012 Friday Dinner Time
Spent last night watching TV. Watched American Horror Story, Criminal Minds, and other shows on the DVR. Went to bed around 10 PM and did the lovin thing before we fell asleep.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning doing things around the house. Had lunch with the guys. Great lunch as always. Had a new guy join us today which is always fun. Came home and decided to take a short nap. Could not believe my eyes when I woke up and noticed it was going on 4:30 PM. I never take a long nap like this, guess I needed it. It is cloudy and in the 40s today in Milwaukee. Feels like it could rain or get foggy outside since it is so damp. Will spend the night watching TV from the DVR. Making some salads and will fry up the spaghetti left overs from earlier in the week. No plans this weekend which is OK with me. I will try to get Tony out Christmas shopping at least once this weekend. If I didn't have to feed the dogs dinner and Tony coming home soon, I would go right back to bed, I feel that tired. Must be the weather

November 29, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching TV. Ended up going to bed early, around 9:30 PM, and fell asleep very quickly. Slept like a baby and only got up once during the night to pee.
This morning I got up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. I read a little of the morning newspaper and by 8 AM headed back into the basement to do some more sorting and throwing stuff away. Around 10 AM I came back upstairs and showered. Called Tony to see if he was ready to pick me up to go to the Holiday Inn near Mayfair to see what the three swords I have are worth. Tony came home around 11 AM and after we went through some old jewelry and other items, we tossed them in a bag and took them with us to see their value. Got to the hotel and found out one of the swords was just a decorative sword, the other two he said were worth a little. One was worth about $10 because it was my great great grandfather's sword and more of a mason thing or award sword, not really from battle. The other sword I was told was from the 1870s or 1880s but was an artillery short sword and not used in battle either and therefore only worth about $70. So he offered me $80 for the two swords and I said I would rather just keep them then. Tony was busy getting estimates for all the jewelry he brought in. Two rings were worth about $170 but Tony said he paid much more and we did not sell them. Then he pulled out two rings he bought at a rummage sale for $2 and the lady said she would give us $110 for them. SOLD! That turned out to be a good profit. Of course Tony reminded me as we walked out 'the next time I buy a ring at a rummage sale, remember this day'. Went across the street and had lunch at Denny's Restaurant. Drove home and I then spent another hour in the basement. I dug in an area I should have left well enough alone. A box of Tony's past. Shoe box of photos of all his past boy friends, and he had many. I had gone through these before when we moved into the house 20 years ago and should have just left it at that and not looked through them again. I don't deal well with the past, it is one of my big downfalls. Looked through all the pictures and when I felt myself getting jealous, I put them away, back with all Tony's files. I wish I would not have looked through them because some of the pictures are quite revealing. I have to keep telling myself after all these years, does it really matter. Heck we have been together for almost half his life time. I can not believe how handsome he was back before I met him. Makes me jealous I didn't get him then, but I have to keep telling myself it is because of his past that made him want me over all of them, Right? OK, I will get over this. My back is really hurting again today. This bending and cleaning is not good for my back and it is telling me so. Laid on the couch for an hour with the dogs and really could have used a nap this afternoon. Hopefully we well be in bed sleeping early again tonight. Making some salads and soup for supper since we had a big lunch at Denny's. Today was in the 30s, but sunny and no wind, so it did not feel that cold outside. Suppose to get a warm weekend this coming weekend. Another warm front coming through. I am sure it will follow with a huge cold snap back into reality that it is Winter.

November 28, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Read a little more of my book yesterday before Tony got home from work. Got 6 pages from the end when Tony walked in the door. Spent last night watching Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead and then the Dance Final. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read a little of the morning newspaper and then decided to read the last 6 pages of the book The Timekeeper. Was happy I read the book and gave me something to think about on my walk today. Around 10 AM I drove to McDonald's and got a bacon egg cheese bagel and a sausage burrito to heat up for lunch. Went to Pick N Save and did the weekly grocery shopping. Went to Walgreen's then to buy some sale items and ended up buying a new water mister for the living room. I have a cool air water mister but it really doesn't seem to be putting any moisture into the room. I want to see a mist flowing from the thing. Plus I hate the one I have with a filter. Saw the one I wanted and was surprised it was 25 percent off when I paid for it. Also got a coupon for $10 off any purchase of 35 dollars or more today or tomorrow. After I got home and set up the new water mister I liked it so much I went back to Walgreen's and bought another on sale and used the coupon for another $10 off. Came to $24.99 which is a good price. Now I have one in the bedroom and dining room / living room. Went for my usual walk around the river trails around noon. It was only 32 degrees but the sun was out and now wind. With my gloves and ear muffs on I was warm enough. Got home and spend an hour or so back in the basement tackling another corner to clean, this one of paperwork. Tony's shop paperwork goes back to 1994. Decided to keep everything after the year 2000. Of course every monthly envelope from his accountant did not have a date on it so I had to open each and every one to see the date and determine if I was going to keep or shred. Filled three boxes to go to a shredding company, where I am not sure at this point. Have another file cabinet to go through on another day. This basement cleaning project is my Winter project and I hope it lasts and plan on doing it right the first time. It is so hard to throw stuff away. It is now going on 4:30 PM and I took a pain pill because my back is really hurting from the bending over going through the files and such. Making some hamburgers and french fries with a salad tonight. Since the DVR is busy recording tonight we will most likely watch the SNL special. I already can tell we will have a half hour when a conflict will occur and we can only record or watch a total of four shows at once. At 9 PM I see SNL would make a fifth show. Will have to decide what not to record. Hoping tomorrow to go with Tony to a pawn broker that is in town at one of the hotels looking for military stuff. I have three old swords I want to know what they are worth. Got my dads blessing since I got them from him. Not sure if I will even sell them no matter what they offer, just interested in their value.

November 27, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Dancing With The Stars, a show on the DVR and then Hawaii Five O, before going to bed. Was so nice to go to bed since I turned on the electric heater pad and the bed was nice and toasty warm. Did the loving thing and fell asleep by 10:30 PM.
This morning I got up at 7 AM when Tony yelled into the bedroom 'you going to get up before I go to work?' Got up and fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot, and sent Tony on his way to work with some old fruit. Read a little of the morning newspaper and around 9 AM decided to start my next project in the basement. Knew I had enough wood and shelving to make a shelving unit for all the junk in the basement. Well, not all of it, but it will organize some of it more than it is. Spent the morning cutting wood, screwing screws and putting up the shelving from wood and shelves I have collected. Had a couple nice 10 foot by 2 foot panels to use as shelves. Got half the basement cleaned and straightened out on the new shelves. Filled the neighbors garbage can with junk since our two are filled from the other days cleaning. Hopefully the garbage men will come in the next couple days because I have another half a basement to clean and most likely a couple garbage cans to fill still. In between doing the basement I drove to ARCW to get my monthly HIV meds. Picked up some bread and danish for Tony and the rabbit. Dropped off the danish at Tony's shop for the employees along with some rolls and sliced bread I got at the pantry. Called it a day on the basement around 2 PM and spent an hour laying on the couch listening to some Kool And The Gang. My back is hurting from the heavy lifting and bending doing the shelves. Like to put on this old disco music and think back how care free life was back then dancing to the hits. Another cold day in Milwaukee, in the 20s and cloudy. Making spaghetti and salads for supper tonight. Will spend the night watching the Dancing Final. My hope is that Derek wins.
This morning I got up at 7 AM when Tony yelled into the bedroom 'you going to get up before I go to work?' Got up and fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot, and sent Tony on his way to work with some old fruit. Read a little of the morning newspaper and around 9 AM decided to start my next project in the basement. Knew I had enough wood and shelving to make a shelving unit for all the junk in the basement. Well, not all of it, but it will organize some of it more than it is. Spent the morning cutting wood, screwing screws and putting up the shelving from wood and shelves I have collected. Had a couple nice 10 foot by 2 foot panels to use as shelves. Got half the basement cleaned and straightened out on the new shelves.

November 26, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Friday night we watched some TV from the DVR and then watched the movie Seeking Justice. It was a very good movie. I download so many movies and watch them so much later in time I never remember why I downloaded the movie in the first place. If it sounds good, I download it. It was worth downloading. Went to bed around 10 PM.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Tony went to work for a couple hours in the morning. I spent that time starting a book my sister gave me called The Timekeeper. Got a good start on the book since it is an easy read. Went to Tony's cousins funeral at 1 PM and then went out for Mexican food. Had a margarita with my food. Came home and spent the rest of the day and night watching TV and spending time with the dogs. Went to bed around 10 PM for a little lovin and fell asleep shortly thereafter.
Sunday morning we were up again at 7 AM. Read a little of the newspaper and then got showered so we could leave the house and pick up Tony's mom to go have breakfast. Had breakfast and then went shopping at Big Lots with her. Nice to go to a store after breakfast with her, otherwise we just drop her of and buy lottery tickets on the way home. Got home and spent a couple hours napping with the dogs before we got up and spent the rest of the day watching TV from the DVR. We are doing a pretty good job of keeping up with the 40 or so TV shows I tape each week on the DVR. Went to bed around 10 PM and after a little lovin we went to sleep. Actually was more than a little lovin since we played for an hour in bed watching TV.
This morning I got up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspapers and then headed into the basement to do a little cleaning. Worked on one of the side rooms where I keep all the holiday decorations. Did a good cleaning and filled the two outside garbage cans with boxes and garbage. Tried to take a nap with the dogs but just ended up laying there listening to them all snore. Been putting up more Christmas decorations around the house that we bought yesterday at Big Lots. Will spend the rest of the afternoon reading the book my sister gave me. Making a meat loaf, scalloped potato, beans and a salad for supper tonight. It is about 30 degrees today in Milwaukee and cloudy. Winter is here.

November 21, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Wednesday night we met a friend who bar tends at a bar called Libby's. We had a drink and a steak sandwich. I had only one drink thinking a double tall would be enough. Tony had to push things and have a second drink. Since the friend was pouring, they were strong and Tony should know better by this point in his age. By the time we got home he was being a jerk and I don't like when he gets like that when he drinks. We went to bed around 10 PM. Serves him right, Tony was up at 2 AM with a migraine headache and throwing up. I keep telling him he can not drink any more and his body doesn't like it when he drinks. I think he learned a lesson again for a while since he was up most the night.
Thursday, Thanksgiving, we were up at 8 AM. Fed the dog and gave Vito his shot. I had to laugh as he held his head when the dogs were barking waiting for their food. Spent the morning reading the huge newspaper with all the ads. Left the house around noon to go to my parents house. My mom made a great Thanksgiving lunch and we had a great time with the family. Left their house around 4 PM and got home around 5 PM. Spent last night watching American Horror Story, Walking Dead, Criminal Minds, and the movie Zombie Apocalypse. Went to bed around 10:30 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and got Tony off to work. Read a little of the newspaper and then went back to bed for an hour. It is cloudy and cold in Milwaukee today. Yesterday we were at 65 degrees. This morning we woke up to 30 degrees because of the cold front that came through last night. Got up around 10 AM and showered. Spent the rest of the morning putting up some Christmas decorations around the house. Met the guys for lunch and had a great lunch as always. Came home and spent the afternoon setting up my Christmas Village outside on the top of the hot tub in the glassed in room off the dining room. Spent the afternoon listening to old disco music as I set up the Christmas decorations and displays. Will just put out some left overs from mom for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR. Only plans this weekend is another funeral, this time for a cousin of Tony's. He was 54 years old and no clue what he died of. We assume liver failure because he was quite the dinker and I can not think back to a time when I didn't see him drunk. Other than that it is suppose to be a cold weekend in the 30s so we will spend a lot of time indoors. Didn't even venture out to do the Black Friday shopping. I am not that insane.

November 21, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Ended up ordering some subs from Jimmy Johns for supper last night. Spent the night watching Dance Results, NCIS LA and some Internet shorts from a series called The Outs. Went to bed with a sick stomach, didn't hinder Tony from needing a little loving which I was happy to participate in before we went to sleep.
Got up this morning at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. After feeding the dogs I was in the bathroom throwing up bile again this morning. Not a nice way to start the day. Spent the early morning reading the newspapers and then showered and headed out the door around 10 AM. Stopped off at Walgreen's to pick up a prescription I called in yesterday for pain pills for my back. Starting to get concerned about my back pain. Sometimes it feels like someone is sticking needles in me the pain is so bad. Pain pills help but don't make it go away completely. Stopped off at McDonald's and bought two sausage burritos on my way to Pick N Save. Ate one of the burritos in the parking lot before I walked in to shop. Came home and after putting away all the groceries I decided to go for my usual walk along the river trails. Had a great walk. It amazes me how I am usually the only one out in the woods and on the trails. It's like having our own Central Park right in my back yard. I love it. Thankfully they stopped development back in the trails and it will stay natural like this going forward. The city bought all the land and is trying to get it back to it's original wooded state. After my walk I took a much needed two hour nap. Snuggled with the dogs for two hours. It is about 55 degrees today and mostly sunny. Tonight we are meeting a friend at a bar here in Milwaukee to eat supper. He bar tends and cooks at the bar and said for us to come in for a drink and a steak sandwich, so that is what we are doing tonight. Will most likely then spend the night watching TV from the DVR before going to bed. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we are going to my parents house this years for dinner. Will most likely take Bo with us to get him out of the house so he doesn't bother the other dogs for the 4 hours, plus he needs to get out more and learn what it is like out there in the real world. Stella will protect the house. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone, be back on Friday.

November 20, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Dancing With The Stars and then Hawaii Five O, before going to sleep around 10 PM.
This morning I got up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Went back to bed because I was not feeling good. Got up around 10 AM and ran to the toilet with the runs. I think it was the beef brisket I made last night. It was good, but I had a feeling as we ate it I was going to be sorry the next day since it was so spicy. Showered and made myself an english muffin with butter and jelly for lunch. Went for a nice long walk along the river trails with my IPod around 1 PM. Had a great walk and stopped many times to watch the wildlife and fish swimming in the river. Some of the trout or salmon are more than two feet long. Listened to some old slow music from the 70s and 80s that were my favorite songs. As I listened to them I noticed a pattern. The song were all my favorites back then and most are about heart break and loss of a relationship, or being alone. I must say my biggest fear is death, my second biggest fear was always being alone with no one to love or love me. As I listened to the songs I realized I spent most of my life worrying about being alone and having a broken heart for no reason since Tony and I have been together going on 24 years this March and I was in a 5 1/2 years relationship prior to Tony. Honestly, I have never felt more secure in my relationship in my lifetime with Tony. We have a very good life and love each other very much. We have been through so much in our years together I can't even imagine it being any other way. So I guess I worried all these years for nothing. After I got home from my walk I started bring up the Christmas decorations from the basement. I am not putting them out yet, today, but will soon enough since it does make the house festive and holiday like. Since I turned off the hot tub outside I think I will use it to put the Christmas tree and city on the top of the hot tub outside in the glassed in room. Figure it best because then the tree will not take up room in the house and I can spread the Christmas city out over the entire hot tub cover. We have a big fake tree but lately I just put out the 3 foot fake tree since it takes up less room. I am sure I will start putting it all together tomorrow or this weekend after Thanksgiving. Don't feel like cooking tonight so I think we will walk up the block for dollar tacos and have a margarita. Probably not the best food for my stomach, but I do like to live dangerously. LOL. I also figure it is the quickest way to get supper over and done with and not have to cook it. Will most likely spend the night watching the Dance Results show and then TV on the DVR for the rest of the night before we go to sleep. Was in the 50s today and the sun came out after noon today. Suppose to get to 60 on Thanksgiving and then a cold front comes through for the weekend dropping temperatures 20 or more degrees.

November 19, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Spent Friday night clearing the DVR watching TV until about 10 PM. Went to sleep after a little lovin.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Tony went to work in the morning to get a car delivered. He got home around 11 AM and after he showered we left the house to go to 7 Mile Fair. It is a big rummage sale mall. Had a good time walking around buying junk, thankfully not spending too much on things we really didn't need. Stopped off at the couples house we have lunch with on Fridays. Only stayed for a while since we didn't call first and didn't want to change their day plans. Drove home and spent the rest of the day and night watching TV from the DVR. Ordered some delivery food for supper. Went to bed around 10:30 PM after a little lovin.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. I made breakfast and we spent the entire morning and afternoon watching TV. Turned on the SyFy channel around 10 AM and got involved in the movies Wrong Turn 4 and The Hills Have Eyes 2. Was around 2 PM when we decided to go lay down on the bed for a while. Got up around 3:30 PM and showered and got dressed up to go to a funeral of a friend of Tony's family. Got Tony showered and out the door after we fed the dogs supper. Basically walked in and out of the funeral after saying what we need to say to the family. Went out for supper at Ma Fischers here on the Eastside. Had a good supper. Even stopped off at a table next to us on the way out to find out where the 5 were from. They all spoke German and found out they were all going to school here from Germany. Tony hates when I do this and talk to people I don't know. I find it fun to meet people and learn things from them. Asked them why they are here and what they like and don't like about the USA. Guess the biggest thing they didn't like was the fact people are so 'fake' and you can not trust anyone you meet. They didn't like the crime these people do. Explained that most of us are harmless and good people. Tony was sitting outside the restaurant by the time I got done talking to them. Came home and spent the night watching Amazing Race and Good Wife before going to bed and doing the loving thing again.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Got the dogs fed and Tony off to work. Went to McDonald's around 8 AM to get some breakfast. Just made it home in time to throw up some bile in the sink. Haven't had that problem in a while and was not happy to start my day throwing up. Ate the McDonald's a little while later once my stomach felt better. Spent the morning and most of the afternoon doing 5 loads of laundry. All the bedding, dog blankets and anything else that needed washing. I try to do the bedding every two weeks and the dogs blankets weekly if possible. Went for a nice long walk along the river trails around noon. Came home and after putting a load of laundry away, getting the next in the drier, and starting the next load, I took an hour nap with the dogs on the nice fresh bedding sheets. The comforter is still in the drier. Making a beef roast, baked potato, french style beans and salad for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching Dancing With The Stars and then Hawaii Five O, before going to bed. It was close to 50 degrees today and the sun came out the entire walk. It is cloudy now and I think rain is on the way.

November 16, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night getting caught up on the DVR. Watched American Horror Story and Walking Dead. I can not say enough about how good American Horror Story is. I am just amazed at the plots and twists. Just when you think you know something, the story changes. What a great ride this show is to watch. Walking Dead is always good but AHS is my favorite show this season. Finished off the night watching Flipping Out, Operation Repo and South Beach Tow. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Spent the morning reading the newspapers and doing things around the house. Showered and left the house around 11:30 AM to drop off the printed prescriptions I got from the doctor yesterday on my way to lunch with the guys. Had a great lunch as always. These guys are the best and we laugh so hard at lunch telling life stories and experiences. Nothing is off limits. Stopped at Walgreen's on my way home from lunch to pick up the prescriptions I dropped off prior to lunch. Came home and after I spent a half hour updating things on the computer I went for my usual walk along the river trails. Had a great walk. It is 40 degrees and cloudy. Was a little chilly in the beginning but as I walked I warmed up. Will make some salads and something to go with them for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR. No plans this weekend except for a funeral for a family friend of Tony's on Sunday afternoon. I do not like funerals but it is a nice excuse to get dressed up in a suit. Tony looks so nice in a suit and it is so nice to see him in something other than his dirty work closes. Owning and operating an auto body shop, he can get pretty dirty some days. Suppose to be in the 50s this weekend so maybe I can get Tony to go for a walk with me around the neighborhood if I promise him a drink at a bar or two along the walk route. Not much else to report. My sinus infection is getting better, so the antibiotic is doing it's job. Have a great weekend.

November 15, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Last night we saw the play Rock Of Ages. It was OK. I know I am getting old when the sound is too loud. Before the show started they had the sound up so loud the you could feel the bass in your chest. Got home a little after 10 PM and went to bed shortly thereafter.
This morning I was up at 5 AM when Tony came over to my side of the bed for a little lovin. He then got up and I stayed in bed for another hour or so. Got up and fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning reading the newspapers and left the house around 11:30 AM for my board meeting with ARCW. I was voted co-chair person so if the head of the group doesn't show up for a meeting I will be in charge. Picked up my food and turkey at the food pantry and dropped the turkey and some bread off at Tony's shop to put in the freezer, since we have no room for a turkey in our freezer. Soon I will have to leave the house again for my 4:15 PM doctor appointment. Will most likely pick up some food at McDonald's on my way home for supper and then spend the night watching TV from the DVR since it is getting pretty full from this weeks shows. Was sunny and close to 50 degrees today in Milwaukee, not a bad day at all.

Spent the morning reading the newspapers and left the house around 11:30 AM for my board meeting with ARCW. I was voted co-chair person so if the head of the group doesn't show up for a meeting I will be in charge. Picked up my food and turkey at the food pantry and dropped the turkey and some bread off at Tony's shop to put in the freezer, since we have no room for a turkey in our freezer. Soon I will have to leave the house again for my 4:15 PM doctor appointment. Will most likely pick up some food at McDonald's on my way home for supper and then spend the night watching TV from the DVR since it is getting pretty full from this weeks shows. Was sunny and close to 50 degrees today in Milwaukee, not a bad day at all.

November 14, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching the Dance Results, NCSI LA and then a show on NGW called Animal Intervention that I had heard about watching Ellen yesterday. The show is about people who keep wild animals as pets. Wild animals like monkeys, lions, tigers and such that should be in the wild and not kept in a small cage or a garage for their life's. The two who host the show try to talk the owners into surrendering the animals, for the animals best interests. It was a very good show and I put it on my DVR list for next week. Unfortunately I have to record the weeks before episode each week at 9PM because the new episode at 8 PM I already have 3 things recording. Worth checking out. It is sad, but most stories end with a happy ending for the animals. Unbelievable that there are so many states without laws protecting these WILD animals. Went to bed around 10:30 PM after watching a little of the news.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. After I read the morning newspapers I had to shake my head. A story in today's paper states that '9 lawmakers here in Wisconsin are backing Obamacare arrests'. I hate the fact that the Republicans feel the need to call it Obamacare when it is really called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the real kicker is the fact that our governor Scott Walker has yet to implement the Act and gave back 34 million dollars this Summer to implement it, hoping the Republicans would win the election and not have to implement the PPACA. Now 9 top Republicans in our state are backing a bill 'to arrest any federal officials who try to implement the health care law'. Jeez, it passed the supreme court and they still won't give up. Much less how much will this cost our state to fight this bullshit. What a bunch of sore losers who continue to waste tax dollars fighting laws they feel they got slighted on. Spent the rest of the morning doing a deep cleaning of the walk in shower and then caulking some of the areas that needed caulking. Around noon I got a call from a 15 year old girl in Denmark who found my blog and was doing a school report on HIV and wanted to ask me questions. I was happy to help and after a few email I gave her my phone number and we talked. Nice to hear schools in Denmark are doing something to help with the HIV crisis and let 15 year old girl even discuss it in class. High five to you and I was happy to help. Let me know what grade you get on the project. Spent a little time trying to take a nap this afternoon. Stella lately wants to lay her head and shoulders on me when we nap. It is not easy to sleep and I spent most of the hour listening to her snore sleeping on my stomach. Making some salads and a frozen pizza for supper tonight. Then we go see the play Rock Of Ages here at the Milwaukee PAC. Got to 42 degrees today, but it was sunny.

November 13, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Dancing With The Stars and then Hawaii Five O, before going to bed around 10 PM. Took a sinus pill prior to going to sleep.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Took another sinus pill before I even ate breakfast. Called the doctor and made an appointment for Thursday afternoon. This is my twice a year sinus infection. Thankfully I always stay one antibiotic refill ahead so I was able to start a treatment of Levoquin and will get another prescription for the next one this Winter. Spent most of the day listening to music. This afternoon I called and got Stella in to the vet for a nail trim. Was a little scared when a male tech came out to get Stella. It is usually a female tech and I was a little nervous when she looked up at him. All went well and Stella once again pleasantly surprised me. Came home and soon I will start making supper. Making a Hormel beef roast and some butter garlic noodles with a salad. Will most likely watch the Dance Results tonight and then TV off the DVR from Sunday night before going to bed. Tomorrow night we see the play Rock Of Ages. I think I might like it since the music is so good. Today was sunny but struggled to get above freezing, the thermometer says it is 34 degrees right now and the sun is already setting.

November 12, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Friday night we spent the night watching the movie The Beaver. Actually it was not a bad movie and I enjoyed it. Tony thought it was boring but then again he fell asleep during the middle of the movie. I thought it was a good movie on mental health. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
Saturday morning we were up by 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. It took until about 1 PM for it to finally heat up and stop raining, to finally start to get Tony to go for a walk with me one last time along the river trails. One last time for him, I promised I wouldn't ask him again 'this year'. I will most likely bundle up and go on some walks when it is warm enough and sunny. Finally around 3 I got him to go for a nice walk along the trail. Took us about an hour since we walked my usual route. After we got home I spent some time outside and after we fed the dogs supper we walked up the street to a little Italian restaurant here on the Eastside of Milwaukee. Had a great supper and walked home. Spent the rest of the night watching TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 10:30 PM.
Sunday morning we were again up by 7 AM. Around 10 AM we left to go have breakfast and then do some shopping at a home improvement second hand store. Got home around 2 PM and tried taking a nap. Was just not happening. Between the dogs not getting comfortable, the phone ringing and Tony on the bed, nap time was over in a half hour and I got up to watch TV. Tony soon followed since Bo was not letting him sleep and wanted to play. Made a canned ham, baked potato and a salad for supper. Spent the night watching America's Funniest Home Videos, Amazing Race, and Good Wife, before going to bed and doing the loving thing before we fell asleep around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs, gave Vito his shot, and got Tony off to work. Spent the early morning reading the newspapers and then decided to carpet clean the area rug in the living room. Got the big machine out and spent and hour cleaning it. It is just amazing what the water looks like. Anyone who has cleaned their carpets knows what I am talking about. You look at the water and say 'was that in my carpet?' Around 11 AM I drove to Walgreen's to buy some sale items and then headed over to Pick N Save to do some grocery shopping for lettuce and fruit for the week. Since I got home I have just been doing things around the house like laundry and dusting. It is cold today in Milwaukee. The thermometer outside says it is 29 degrees outside. It is cloudy and windy and feels like Winter outside. This is on top of the 60 degree weather we had on Saturday and Sunday so it is quite a difference and a shock to the body when you go outside. The pond has not froze over yet, but it is just a matter of time until I will have to put the floating heater in it to make an air hole for the fish. Making some salads and sweet and sour chicken tonight for supper. Will most likely spend the night watching Dancing With The Stars and Hawaii Five O.
I do realize that thing are kind of boring right now in my life. But when you think about it, happy boredom when you have HIV is a good thing. My stress levels are low and life is actually very good. So even though I might not have much to say, the fact that I have little to say can be viewed as a good thing. Life is normal and good.

November 9, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching from the DVR the shows CSI and American Horror Story. Can AHS get any better. I know I have said it before, but I love this show. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the early morning reading the newspaper and then headed outside to clean the pond and pond pump most likely for the last time before the pond freezes over. Suppose to be Winter by this Monday here in Milwaukee. Had lunch with the guys at noon. Had a great lunch as always. Lot of talk about the election. Since we all voted the same it was a good conversation and no one was offended. Spent the afternoon doing a little laundry, vacuuming and dusting. Will make some salads and left over spaghetti for supper tonight. Most likely will spend the night watching TV from the DVR and then a movie that I downloaded today. No plans this weekend. Tomorrow is suppose to be the better of the two days this weekend. Both days are suppose to be in the 60s, but Sunday brings rain and a strong cold front which will put us in the 40s and then 30s as the week goes on. So I guess Winter is on it's way. Have a great weekend.

November 8, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching the movie Game Change. WOW, what a wake up call for all the Republicans out there that voted for McCain or Sarah Palin. What a nut job Sarah Palin is and was back then. Watching this movie should scare the hell out of anyone when you think if she became Vice President and something happened to McCain, she would have been our President. I can't imagine she liked the movie much about herself. What a nut job. If you have not seen the movie Game Change from HBO, you should. She could have been running our country, or trying to. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning getting all the filing around the house caught up and went through it all, throwing away a lot that was not needed from years prior. For some reason I have wanted to do this lately. I now have all the legal documents and wills in files marked so if something happens to me Tony will have no problem finding all the paperwork he will need. I have had this strong feeling that I need to get this all in order. I am hoping it is not a premonition and just a need to feel organized. Took a nice nap with the dogs this afternoon. I do love nap time with the dogs. Sometimes I just lay there with them around me and feel so at peace. I wish I could take a picture of nap time. We have this huge king size bed yet we are all on one side, with me just about falling off the end of the bed. Kali at the top of the bed on the row of pillows, right above me, Vito in my arms at neck level so he doesn't move and walk off the bed, Stella snuggled into my waist area continuing to get closer and closer, pushing me farther and farther to the end of the bed, and Bo squeezing somehow between Stella and I under the blanket. I laid there looking at the other half of the bed, empty, and me almost falling off the end, and laughed. When I turn off the TV to go to nap the dogs know immediately it is nap time. They all run to the bedroom gate and wait to be let into the bedroom. Then they all run up onto the bed trying to get the best spot. I then have to pick up Vito and place him either on his row of pillows or in the middle of the bed just below the row of pillows, so I can have one hand on his back and know where he is. So I guess the dogs enjoy nap time as much as I do. Making some chili mac hamburger helper with french fries for supper tonight. It was suppose to get to 50 today and I was hoping to go for a walk. I never got above 42 yet today and been cloudy and damp outside. Hopefully tomorrow I can get a walk in and this weekend we actually are suppose to be in the 60s before a strong cold front comes through late on Sunday and drops us into the 30s. Will most likely spend tonight watching last nights American Horror Story and other shows from the DVR.

November 7, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Could the election have gone any better? I don't think so.
Spent last night watching Revenge, 666 Park Avenue and Walking Dead, before spending the rest of the night watching the election results. I actually stayed up until 1 AM to watch Obama give his acceptance speech. By the time I went to bed I knew Obama won, but it wasn't until this morning I learned of all the great gay issues that went our way in Maine, Washington, Minnesota and Maryland. Even our out lesbian Tammy Baldwin won the senate seat here in Wisconsin. What a great day for us.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Learned about the wins on the gay amendments and was so happy. Finally people are starting to realize our relationships are as much worth as their straight relationships. Called my dad around 8 AM to send him a hug, but he was not home. My mom and I talked for a while and the conversation was short since I could tell she was not happy with the election results just like my dad. Mom even had the nerve to say 'if there is nothing left after we die, it will be Obama's fault'. Please, if they run out of money it is because of their trips and remodeling they do on their condo every year, not Obama. Went grocery shopping this morning after I stopped at McDonald's for some breakfast. Spent the rest of the day doing things around the house and cruising the Internet for information and results of the election. Making spaghetti and salads for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching TV off the DVR while the DVR records tonight's shows. It will be so nice not to hear the damn election commercials over and over again. Funny how noticeable it was that they ended yesterday around 4 PM. It was like heaven. And I only had four robo calls during the day yesterday. Still don't know why I should get them if I am on a 'no call list'. Once again, they pass their own laws. Hopefully in the next four years gay marriage will be legal and Tony and I can get married for real. It has always been my dream and it looks like it might even be obtainable. The first step will be getting rid of DOMA, which the supreme court should do this year.

November 6, 2012 Election Day
Spent last night watching Dancing With The Stars and then Hawaii Five O, before doing the loving thing and going to sleep around 10:30 PM.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Another not so good weather day here in Milwaukee. In the 40s and raining as I type this post. Did very little today. I did manage to squeeze in a small walk around the neighborhood before the rain got here around 10 AM. Been just doing things around the house and then after I had some tomato soup for lunch, I took a nice two hour nap with the dogs. Think I will make some salads for supper tonight and order a pizza delivered. I don't feel like cooking and even when I make a big meal like last night, Tony comes home and is not hungry or doesn't appreciate it anyway. LOL. I did mention we might go out for supper tonight but because it is so damp and cold outside I think it best just to order in tonight and watch the election results. I am hopeful that Obama will win. My biggest hope is that Obama wins and in his next four years he makes gay marriage legal and Tony and I can get married and have all the same rights and responsibilities as all other married couples. I think after 23 years together we deserve that. Tomorrow is the results are even in, I will be happy or very sad depending on who wins.

November 5, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Spent Friday night watching some TV from the DVR and then the movies Eating Raoul and Dark Shadows. Eating Raoul is an old movie and was interesting. Dark Shadows sucked. I watched the show back in the 60s and again when it ran from first episode to last on some off channel years ago. This movie of the show really was bad. Went to bed around 11 PM after a little lovin.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Tony went to work for a couple hours in the morning. We then spent the rest of the day watching TV, napping, and more TV with the dogs. I never even left the house. Spent the night doing much the same.
Sunday morning we were up at 6 AM. Did the lovin thing before we even got out of bed and then fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Made breakfast and spent the morning watching TV and doing things around the house. Around 1:30 PM we went to the Artbar to watch a little of the Packer's game, which we have no interest in, and eat some ham and rolls they put out for the game. Had a drink and came home. Spent the rest of the afternoon watching TV. Spent the night watching the movies Apartment 143 and American Pie Reunion. APR was were funny. Went to bed around 10 PM since turning back the clock felt like it was much later.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning doing laundry and things around the house. It is raining off and on here today in Milwaukee and cloudy, and 40 degrees. A nice day to watch TV and nap. The damn phone has only rang twice today from a number I do not know. Of course it is Romney or Obama calling. Thankfully we already voted and will not have to be out in the madness tomorrow. Making a beef roast, mashed potato, corn and salad for supper. Figure I better make a good meal since I made very little over the weekend even though we stayed home most the weekend. Will spend tonight watching Dancing With The Stars and then Hawaii Five O before going to bed. Tony didn't feel well when he left for work this morning so I am sure he will come home tired and fall asleep shortly after supper and shower. He would have loved to stay home today he felt so bad this morning. Hopefully his day went better which I will find out in a couple hours when he gets home.

November 2, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Last night we met Tony's sister and sister in law at Track's, a bar two blocks down the street. Had a great supper and couple of drinks. Only planned on having one drink but the owner bought us all a last round, so I broke down and had a second drink. Came home and watched American Horror Story and 666 Park Avenue, before going to bed around 10 PM. If your not watching American Horror story you should check it out. It is that good. Saw my raccoon before we went to bed and watching him cleaning the food I put out for him in the water bowl I put outside for him. It is so cute to watch him wash each piece of food as he eats it.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspapers and about 10:30 AM drove to Pick N Save bank to make a deposit. Came home for a while and then left again to have lunch with the guys. Had a great lunch as always. Came home and after I spent a little time with the dogs I went for a long walk along the river trails. Had a great walk and was well bundled up to fight off the 40 degree weather. It was sunny, but still would have been very cold if I had not had my gloves and ear muffs. Made some salads to go with the TV dinner I plan on making for Tony. I am just having a beef pot pie with my salad. Will most likely spend the night and weekend watching TV from the DVR since it is getting pretty full from the weeks shows. No plans this weekend so we will just see how it unfolds as the weekend progresses. Have a great weekend everyone.
Almost forgot to include this. This is yesterday's morning sunrise.
