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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

November 1, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching the first hour of X Factor and then Law and Order SVU before going to bed and doing the loving thing. After that we watched an episode of Operation Repo from the DVR before going to sleep.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning reading the newspapers, doing things around the house, had a long talk with my mom on the phone, and then went to Pick N Save around 11 AM to buy some sale items and pickles, Tony wanted pickles. Bought myself a half rack of ribs in the deli on sale for $4 for lunch. Came home and after putting everything away I warmed up my ribs and ate lunch. After lunch I bundled up and took a long walk along the river trails. When I left the house the sun was out and it felt good. By the end of my walk the clouds had moved in and it made it feel much colder outside. Thankfully the wind is not so bad today and helps make it feel warmer than past days when the temperature was 42 degrees, like it is today. Spent the afternoon laying on the couch with the dogs listening to the new CD by Pink, which I really love, and Katy Perry's CD. Not making supper tonight because we are meeting Tony's sister and sister in law at a local bar two blocks away to eat supper and have a couple drinks. Honestly I would rather just stay home then bundle up again and go outside in the cold. The house is so nice and toasty warm right now and I am in my long underwear and sweats. Will most likely watch American Horror Story from last night on the DVR when we come home since my neighbor already called today to discuss it and we have not watched it yet. Can not believe it is already November as of today. Today would be my grandmother's birthday, who I miss dearly. Happy Birthday Grandma in heaven. Not liking the cold. It will be snowing in now time here in Milwaukee.
