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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Happy Halloween!
Spent last night watching the Dance Results show and then TV from the DVR the rest of the night up until 9 PM. Went into the hot tub for the last time as we watched some of the shows. Around 9 PM we went to bed and did the lovin thing and spent and hour watching the news of the east coast on the TV before going to bed around 10:15 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning draining the hot tub. Winter is officially here. Stopped feeding the fish yesterday also in the outside pond so they can start their Winter hibernation. I just can not see myself going out in the cold using the hot tub when I have a bathtub I can fill with jets, and it is much warmer indoors then being outside. Plus since I used it so few times it is just not worth heating it in the Winter. My electric bill will thank me next month. I will most likely fill it again in March. Did some cleaning around the house and then took a nap with the dogs this afternoon. Making some salads and sweet and sour chicken for supper tonight. Will most likely watch X Factor for the first hour, then switch to Law And Order SVU because my DVR is recording it's limit at 8 PM. It is 42 degrees again in Milwaukee, cloudy and windy. Not a nice day to be outside so I didn't venture out much other than draining the hot tub and picking up the dog droppings. Guess I better get used to it.

Spent last night watching Dancing With The Stars and then CNN to see how the east coast was doing. Went to bed around 10:30 PM.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. I had been making a list of things to buy at Walmart and have been waiting until I need to go and buy Vito more Insulin. Decided today was the day to go to Walmart with my list. Left the house around 10 AM with my long list in hand. Ended up spending $300 on everything from Insulin and needles, to toiletries and food. The 2 bottles of Insulin and 2 boxes of needles were $80 of the total. We should be well stocked on most items now for a couple months. I buy two months worth of Insulin and supplies so that I don't have to go but every other month to Walmart. Our Walmart is that bad. Got home a little before noon and it took a while to put everything away. After I was done putting everything away I decided to make a cake. Made a vanilla cake with chocolate frosting. Made the cake before I laid down for a nap, and frosted it when I got up. Didn't get much of a nap because the telephone rang three times. By the third call I decided to just give up on the nap. Much less the dogs were snuggling so close to me I couldn't move and was not very comfortable. It is 42 degrees here in Milwaukee as I type this blog post, kinda cold and very windy. Guess we are feeling winds from Sandy all the way here to Milwaukee, coming off Lake Michigan. Making some salads and then will fry up the left over spaghetti for Tony's supper. I will just have a TV dinner with my salad. Tony loves left over spaghetti fried to a crisp in a well buttered pan. I hate making it because it stinks up the house, but he loves it, so I break down every once in a while. Will most likely spend the night watching the Dance Results show and then TV from the DVR from this week. Not happy about the cold and sorry to see Winter coming. I hate Winter. It is pretty, but I can't stand the cold.

October 29, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Spent Friday night watching TV and then the movie The Campaign. It was a good funny movie. Went to bed around 10 PM.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the day around the house watching TV and we took a nice long three hour nap with the dogs in the afternoon. Went out to eat at a restaurant called Alioto's. It used to be a fine dining restaurant and now it is a sports bar with sports bar food. I was not impressed and we will not visit this restaurant again. Went to Whitefish Bay for their Pumpkin Festival after supper and walked around looking all the carved pumpkins. Came home and spent the rest of the night watching TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 11 PM.
Sunday we were again up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. I road my bike up the block to buy lottery tickets around 10:30 AM. When I got back Tony left to go buy ham and rolls to take to his mom's house to meet Tony's sister and her kids and take them trick or treating. Walked around the neighborhood and collected a lot of candy. Was fun to be with the kids and they do love their uncle Dave and Tony. Got back to the house the same time Tony's sister returned from lunch with a friend, and we then drove home. Spent the rest of the day watching TV from the DVR. Spent the night watching Amazing Race and The Good Wife, before doing the lovin thing and going to bed.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Made up a couple ham sandwiches so Tony could take one to work and I would have one for lunch. Spent the morning cleaning and doing laundry. Around noon I went to ARCW to pick up my HIV meds for the month. Picked up some bread at the pantry for the baby rabbits and possum I feed nightly. Came home and took a nice nap with the dogs. Just finished making some salads and getting spaghetti sauce on the stove. Tony could eat spaghetti 7 days a week. Was in the low 40s today and partly cloudy. A little cold out for a walk, though I did consider it. Settled for the nap instead. Tonight we will watch Dancing With The Stars and then CNN to see how the East Coast is doing with hurricane Sandy. What a mess this one is going to be. I feel so sorry for the people in the path of Sandy.
Here is a picture of Tony and I with the kids at Tony's mother's house.

October 26, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching the second episode of American Horror Story. I love this show. The rest of the night we watched a couple NCIS shows on the DVD before going to the bedroom at 9 PM and watched Texas Car Wars. After TCW we did the lovin thing and went to bed around 10:30 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Received our absentee voter ballots in the mail yesterday, so I got them in the mail this morning. We voted! Now I won't have to stand in line on November 6th to vote for Obama. Spent the early morning reading the morning newspapers we receive. Late morning I spent and hour copying my blog from the past few months to the word document I create each year, with each days postings. Showered and had lunch with the guys. Had a great lunch as always. Came home and around 2 PM I bundled up and went for an hour walk along the river trails. It is in the 40s today in Milwaukee so it was ear muffs and mittens on the walk. The sun is out so it felt good and I was well dressed. Making some salads and left overs for supper tonight. Will most likely watch some TV from the DVR and a movie before we go to bed, depending on how tired Tony is and how long he can stay awake. He was falling asleep on the couch by 8 PM last night. Funny how he got a second wind watching Texas Car Wars. He loves those car shows having an auto body shop and all. No plans this weekend. Will most likely just see how the weekend unfolds. Have a great weekend everyone.

Spent last night watching TV from the DVR which included the shows Flipping Out, Revenge and 666 Park Avenue, before going to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Knew I better enjoy today because the weather is going to change drastically tonight. Got outside by 8 AM and started cleaning out the back garage so Tony can put a car in it for the Winter. Tony asked me last night again if he can 'please, please put a car in the garage'. I had so much stored in there I had to move it all into the main garage. So had to clean out the main garage to make room. Around 10 AM I called Tony to tell him the garage was ready and he could come home and move the covered old car that is in the main garage to the back garage. Got that done by 11:30 AM and then took a shower. Took an hour walk along the river trails and got back a little after 1 PM. Since it still was nice outside and wasn't raining I figured I could one last time blow all the leaves in the back and side yard. The big tree in the back has finally lost most of it's leaves and has very little left. Got that all done and also removed the netting over the pond. Laid down on the couch for an hour because my back and body is in pain from all the raking and yard work. Making salads and Lasagna Hamburger Helper for supper tonight. The rain should be here in about an hour and then the temperature is going to drop fast. It was in the 70s today and we will get down in the 30s tonight and only a high of 50 degrees tomorrow. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR. I am looking forward to watching last nights American Horror Story, so I have a feeling that will be played first. Feels so good having the windows open for the last time. The weather man says this is the last time in the 70s this years, I made the most of it.

October 24, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Dancing With The Stars, NCIS LA and then some show on cable, before going 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 before I showered and got on with the day. It is a beautiful day in Milwaukee today getting close to 70 degrees and sunny. Left the house around 9:30 AM and went to McDonald's for a couple sausage burritos and then to Pick N Save to do the weekly grocery shopping. Got home about an hour later and spent the rest of the morning leaf blowing the front and back yard, again. Damn, the leaves just keep falling. Around 1 PM I went for my usual, long walk, along the river trails. Got home a little after 2 PM and loaded up the music player and listened to Katy Perry and Lady Gaga while I read a couple news magazines I picked up on my way out of the grocery store. Since it is so nice outside I don't think I am going to cook supper tonight and we will instead go out for dollar hamburgers and french fries a a local bar here on the Eastside. Will then most likely spend the night watching TV off the DVR while the DVR records all the shows I have lined up tonight. Looking forward to tonight's American Horror Story, which we will most likely just record and watch tomorrow night, fast forwarding through he commercials. Tomorrow is suppose to be a nice the first part of the day and then rain and cold air is coming and the temperature is going to drop over 20 degrees from today's high. Suppose to be a cold weekend. So, I was glad I spent so much time outside today since these nice days will not last forever.

Got up this morning at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. It was a rainy day in Milwaukee all day today. Spent the morning doing things around the house. Around noon I drove to the south side of town and visited with people I used to work with years ago. Came home and spent the afternoon on the couch with the dogs watching Katy Perry's Part Of Me movie. It was a good movie. Making a meat loaf with beef flavored rice and a salad for supper tonight. Will most likely watch Dancing With The Stars and then TV off the DVR the rest of the night. Not a very exciting day, but then again days like this are nice once in a while too.

October 22, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Friday night we did indeed go to the Italian Community Center for a Cod fish fry on our $30 gift certificate. Ended up costing us an additional $15 with tip. Had a nice supper but was not happy with the managers response to the fact their website and phone message still says they are open on Saturday's a month after they closed on Saturdays. Came home and spent the night watching TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 10 PM after lovin.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning and early afternoon until about 2 PM cleaning the rain gutters and leaves around the yard. Tony went up on the high ladder as I held it. Got the leaves all cleaned up, but you would never know we did any leaf cleaning if you looked at the yard today from all the leaves that have fallen since. Showered and spent the rest of the day watching movies. Watched the movies Chernobyl Diaries (which I loved), The Hole (liked a lot), Moonrise Kingdom (which was stupid and a waste of an hour an a half), Winning Season (which was OK), and Silent House (which I did enjoy), before going to bed around 11 PM.
Sunday morning we were up again at 7 AM and did the usual morning routine. Showered and drove to the south side of town and took Tony's mom out for breakfast. After breakfast we filled the gas tank with gas. Whats up with premium now being 44 cents more than regular gas? Used to be a 10 cent difference between the mid range and then the premium for a total of 20 cents. Damn won't the gas companies find any way they can to get more money out of us. Stopped off at Walgreen's on the way home and we both got our flu shots. Came home and after a little while I talked Tony into going for a long walk along the river trails. Had to promise we would stop and have a drink at a bar on the way home. Had a nice walk and did indeed stop for a drink before making the final walk home. Spend the rest of the day watching TV from the DVR, clearing just about everything I taped from the prior week. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 7 AM and did the usual routine. Read a little of the morning newspaper before going outside to do some leaf blowing before the fore casted noon rain came. After I was done I showered. Was giving Kali a tummy rub when I noticed her skin was not looking good again from allergies and called the vet. Got her in for an 11 AM appointment. Of course she is on an antibiotic again and also a half a Walitin every day for the next 21 days. Also got her nails trimmed and her anal glands cleaned, which I was told needed it bad. Got her home and made a can of soup for lunch. The rain started around 1 PM and it was time for a nap with the dogs. Took a nice two hour nap with the dogs. Got up and after a cup of coffee I made a batch of peanut butter cookies and started supper. Making a canned ham, mashed potato and beans to go with a salad for supper tonight. Will spend the night watching Dancing With The Stars and then the President debate before going to bed. The rain is still falling and it is in the 50s today. The next couple days look good and then a cold front comes through later in the week dropping the temperatures by 20 degrees.

October 19, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching TV from the DVR which included American Horror Story. Wow, is this going to be a great season with this show. If you missed this week's first episode you can catch it next week prior to the second episode. I recommend it. Took a Valium around 8 PM to make sure I had a good night's sleep since I still had that Microsoft scam on my mind. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin and slept like a baby all night.
Got up this morning at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read a little of the morning newspaper and then headed back to bed for an hour. Got up around 9:30 AM and started the day over. Got showered and met the guys for lunch. Had lunch next door at Culver's this week rather than Baker's Square for a change. Had a great lunch and laughed like we usually do at the stories we tell from the prior week's activities. Tony followed me home so he could pull up in front of the house and take the big chair we don't need in our living room, that doesn't fit, and Stella stands on to bark at everyone walking past the house, out of here. What he does with it I don't care. It will reduce my stress level just not having to yell at Stella all day to 'get out of that chair'. After that I walked across the alley to talk with the neighbor for a half hour. I then checked the radar to see if I had enough time to go for a walk before the rain came in again. I did, and did go for a nice hour long walk. Tonight we are going to try again to go to the Italian Community Center to have supper on the gift certificate we have that expires next month. We have tried twice to eat there and both times they were closed. I figure since I had a small lunch today with the guys it would be a good time to finally use this gift certificate. We will most likely spend the rest of the night watching TV before going to bed. No plans for the weekend. It is suppose to be a nice weekend, Sunday being the better of the two days. Hopefully I can get Tony out of the house for a walk or at least get him up on the high ladder to clean the rain gutters. I am sure I won't get both, so I will settle for the rain gutters being cleaned. I am too afraid to go up that high on a ladder. I do the first floor rain gutters but after my fall last year from the ladder, I do not go up that high any more unless someone is holding the ladder. Have a great weekend everyone.

October 18, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 10 PM listening to the rain fall.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Went back to bed for an hour or so and got back up around 9:30 AM. Was doing things around the house when I got a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft telling me my computer has been hacked. He had me go to this web sight and then messed with my computer, or tried to. When I was told I would have to pay $100 to fix my computer I knew it was a scam and hung up. They called back 5 times and finally the guy said 'you can't tell me you don't have $100'. I knew then for sure it was a scam and when I told them to never call back he told me to 'fuck off'. Wow, don't that tell you it was a scam. Reset my computer back two days to a restore point and did a virus scan. So far everything seems fine but I am so mad at myself for almost being scammed. Hell, I even had my wallet out and credit card in hand before I came to my senses. Showered and left the house to go to my board meeting at noon. Had a good board meeting. Was a little drama towards the end, but that just added to my day. Picked up some bread at the pantry for the outside animals and drove home. It is drizzling outside and 48 degrees as I type this post. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR as the DVR records current shows from tonight to watch later. I still can not believe I almost got scammed and just keep shaking my head how good they were and how they had me going. Damn, it makes me so mad.

October 17, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching DWTS Results and then the debate. Was happy to see Palin get the boot on the dance show and was happy to see Obama fight for his job. Was happy with the debate and think that Obama did well. Went in the hot tub after the debate for a while and then took Tony and the dogs to bed for a little lovin before we fell asleep. Funny story, when I let the dogs out one last time and then we go to the bedroom the dogs run up the steps to the bed before we can get to the bed and like last night, we both stood there next to the bed looking at each other and said 'where do we sleep now'. They never learned this sharing thing when it comes to the bed. LOL
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. The weather guy said today will be our last nice day for a couple days so I thought best to get outside early and get the outside work done. Cleaned the pond pump, blew the leaves in the front yard and then cut the little grass we have between the road and sidewalk. The lawn mower was not happy and Tony will have to take it to the shop and look at it. It had very little power and just chugged along. I didn't even think it would stay started long enough to cut the grass, it did, and I got it done. Started a load of laundry and took a shower, all by 10 AM. Went to Pick N Save and did the weekly grocery shopping. Came home and by 11:30 AM I left the house to go for a walk along the river trails. Had a great walk and as I got home about 1 PM the clouds were coming and the sun was going away. Suppose to rain later this afternoon and then for the next two days. We need the rain so this is not a bad thing. Laid on the couch with the dogs for an hour listening to music after I got home from my walk. Making some salads and then a couple TV dinners to go with them and call it supper tonight. Don't feel like cooking. I did make steaks last night so it is not like I make TV dinners that often. Tony did bring home his copies of his taxes last night for me to send with his paperwork for HIRSP. Just as I thought though, he walked in the door and set them on the counter and said 'here are your taxes'. I looked at him and said 'thanks, but they are your taxes for your paperwork that I will fill out and send'. Jeez, so ungrateful sometimes. Will most likely spend the night watching TV since it will be raining by supper time. Was in the mid 60s today and will only be in the low 50s the next couple days. Was glad I got out and enjoyed the weather and trails today. Hopefully the rain the next couple days will take down the last of the leaves because I am getting a little tired of cleaning them up daily.

October 16, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
This morning I was up at 5 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Left the house a little before 6 AM to go to SDC Energy Assistance here in Milwaukee. I tried this yesterday and by the time I got there at 8 AM they had given out all the 'numbers' for the day and were full for the day. I thought if I am going to go through this again I would bite the bullet and get there early. You would think at 6:10 AM in the dark, when I arrived, I would be first in line since they don't open until 7:30 AM, when they start giving out the 100 number for the clients they will serve that day. When I got there at 6:10 AM I was the 30th person in line. By 7 AM the line was down the block and they turned away most of those people. So then at 7:30 AM they give you your number, 30, and you go into the basement of this building with the other 100 people they will serve today to try to get a credit on your electric and gas. It is a slow process and they began announcing numbers around 9 AM. My number was finally called at 10:45 AM. Was out the door by 11 AM with a $505 credit to my account because of my level of income. Thank god I only have to do this once a year, although that is $100 for each hour I was there, which is quite a good payment. Stopped off at Tony's auto body shop to fax some documents to HIRSP and came home. Spent and hour or so leaf blowing the side and back yard. Around 1:30 PM I went for an hour walk along the river trails. Making some steaks and noodles with a salad for supper tonight. Tony better come home with copies of last years taxes that I have been asking for for weeks now. I told him today not to come home unless he has copies in hand. Jeez, I fill out all his forms and mail them, the least he can do is get me the information I need for them. He will most likely walk in the door with them in hand and give them to me like he is doing something for me, not me doing something for him. Sometimes you just want to strangle the ones you love. LOL. Will spend the night watching DWTS results and the the President debate before going to bed. I pray Obama does better tonight then he did two weeks ago. Was in the low 50s today and now the clouds have moved in, the wind has shifted off the lake, and it is cooling down fast.

October 15, 2012 Monday Dinner Time
Spent Friday night watching TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 10 PM.
Saturday was a rainy day, all day in Milwaukee. We did very little all day but lay around and watch TV. I did some laundry during the day, but that was about it until supper time. We went out for supper at a grill near here and got home around 7 PM. Spent the rest of the night watching movies. Watched the movies 444 Last Day On Earth (which was interesting), Afterlife (which was also not bad), and General Education (which was a waste of a movie and not very funny). Went to bed around 11 PM listening to the rain fall.
Sunday morning we were up by 7 AM. It was still raining and continued to rain most of the day. I made breakfast and we spent the rest of the day watching more TV from the DVR. I did walk a cople blocks up the street to buy lottery tickets around noon when there was a break in the rain. By supper time we pretty much had the DVR cleared from the prior weeks TV. Went to Walgreen's to buy some sale items and pick up the Christmas Cards I ordered over the Internet for this years Christmas cards. Yes, I know it is early, but Christmas will be here in a blink of an eye and hopefully all four dogs will still be here in two months. Also had a 40% off coupon for the cards if I ordered them this week so it was a great deal. Had supper at George Webb's and came home. Spent the night watching Amazing Race, The Good Wife, and Mentalist before going to bed around 10:30 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 at 8 AM to go to the WE Energies energy assistance center to get a credit since I make so little income. Well, by 8:15 AM they had already taken the first 125 people that got there around 7 AM and were taking no more cases for the day. Jeez, I thought 8 AM was early to get there, guess if I try tomorrow I will have to be there before 7 AM. It is worth it because I got close to $300 last year for doing this. Just a pain in the ass, but hey, for the money it is worth the time. If I am up tomorrow and feel up to it I will get out the door even before Tony leaves for work and waste a morning applying. Came home and spent the morning cleaning the basement. Then got the mail and had to get more tax information for HIRSP and got the paperwork ready for Tony to take to work tomorrow and fax it to them. Laid down on the couch and listened to some music for an hour before taking a nice long walk along the river around 2:30 PM. The rain all weekend sure brought down the tree leaves. Got back home around 3:30 PM and after making some salads for supper I drove to Walgreen's again to buy more of the Slushy Puppies they have on sale for 99 cents for a 12 pack. They are usually $3.99 so they are a great deal and I do love a Slushy Puppy freezer pop at night while I am watching TV. Making spaghetti for supper to go with the salads I already made. Will spend the night watching Dancing With The Stars and the Hawaii Five O, DVR'ing other shows on other channels. Was in the 50s and sunny this afternoon. Felt good to get out and walk again. Took my IPod and listened to music this time. The leaves are so pretty and will not last much longer.

October 12, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent the early part of last night watching TV from the DVR before settling in for the Vice President debate. Thank god Biden was able to hold his own and did better than Obama. The lies and no details from Ryan was laughable. I only wish Biden didn't show how laughable so often since it at times seemed like he was laughing and making light of a topic. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the first part of the morning replacing the light part of one of the outside post lights. It went off last night and when I shook it sparks started coming out and I had to run and unplug it. Looks like some squirrels or something must have ate through the wires and the only way to fix it was to replace the entire light bulb fixture with one we had. I am no electrician but can do things like this if I am pushed to it, and it is unplugged. It would have taken Tony hours and a big push just to do it before it would have gotten done if I asked him to do it. Covered the air conditioning outside unit since I don't think we will be using it any more until Spring. Took down the deck umbrella and packed it up for the season also. Showered and met the guys for lunch. Was one of the guys Birthday's so it was nice to have someone else pay for lunch as we do with each of our Birthdays. Came home and took a long walk along the river trails ending at Pick N Save to buy some fresh produce for the weekend and a couple sale items. It is suppose to be rainy all weekend and I figure we will most likely spend a lot of time at home and not venture out into the rain. Sunday looks better later in the day according to the weather reports. Was in the high 40s today and the sun is out. It would feel much cooler if the sun was not out. No plans this weekend and like I said earlier, I have a feeling it will be a do nothing weekend. Have a great weekend everyone.

October 11, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching X Factor and then CSI before going to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I got out of bed around 6:30 AM to feed the dogs and give Vito his shot. Didn't sleep well last night as I thought due to the long nap I took yesterday afternoon. The phone call at 2:30 AM from one of Tony's employees asking us to come and bail him out of jail for getting another DWI ticket didn't help. I told the employee Tony would be down in the morning and to get some sleep and make some friends. Tony left for work around 7:30 AM telling me he was leaving the employee in lock up until noon since he has told him before 'this is the last time' and now it is happening again. Guess the kid needs to learn a lesson. Spent the morning leaf blowing the side and front yard. Blow all the leaves into the street for the city to come pick them up. Went for a walk around noon and half way through my walk my mom called on my cell phone to see if I could meet her and dad at the cemetery to hopefully transfer the unused grave sights into Tony and my name for when that time comes. I had been on my dad for this for a while and figure we need to get it straightened out due to the graves still being in my deceased grandma's name. Was kind of a waste of time because when we all got there to meet, had to drive through town and the ghetto to get there, my dad found out he will need to get a release from his sister and other documents in order to transfer the graves to Tony and I. He could have found this out over the phone and saved us all a drive to the cemetery. Since we were there we went and visited the grave and my grandparents in the ground, next to where Tony and I will some day be buried. Kind of weird standing on the ground that some day you will be buried under. I am happy Tony and I will be next to each other and figure it is best to get this all straightened out now rather than at the last moment or after my parents are no longer around to deed this over to me. Guess the graves are worth a lot of money since they were bought in 1941 for $350. They are now worth over $10,000 we were told if bought today. Drove home and will most likely spend the rest of the day watching TV, making supper and then watching the Vice President debates tonight on TV. Biden, I hope, does better than Obama did with his first debate, or we are f*cked. Was in the 50s today and the sun was out until about noon. Now it is getting colder and we are suppose to be below freezing tonight.

October 10, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching TV from the DVR and the Dance Results. Of course that 'can not dance' Bristol Palin made it through another week. Damn those Republicans. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin. Thinking about not watching again until she is gone.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Found some poop in the side yard near the pond, where the poison pellets were, where the dogs can not get to. Figured it must be the raccoon even though I have not seen him in days. So I googled 'what does raccoon poop look like'. It is funny what you can find on the Internet. And for those interested, raccoon poop looks like dog poop. Stella could smell it even on the other side of the yard and even after I picked it up and put it in the poop container, sealed, she could still smell it and kept going be the bucket. I knew it was not going to be a nice day weather wise today so I did not plan on walking today. Kinda cool outside in the 40s and party cloudy. Went to McDonald's on my way to Pick N Save to do grocery shopping. Bought my usual bacon egg and cheese bagel and a sausage burrito for later, to heat up for lunch. Bought over $70 in groceries, which didn't add up to much food, and came home. Spent a little time watching TV and then since I was so tired decided around noon to lay down and take a nap. Turned into a 3 hour nap. The first hour the dogs kept moving around to get closer to me snuggling under the covers, the last 2 hours I slept good. Will most likely be sorry tonight when I can't sleep. Got up and wrote a long email to the ticket service for our Broadway Across America tickets. Received our season tickets today to find out we are being charged an extra $90, $45 a piece, for the luxury of them saving these tickets for us. I look at it differently and as a season ticket holder who pays for the tickets a year in advance, and the fact now they will not have to have a ticket broker sell all five shows and 10 tickets, I would get a discount, not charged more because I am a season ticket holder. Folks, there honestly was a time when you were rewarded for loyal service rather than charged more for it. It is basically the principle of the thing. I think I save them time and money buying them in advance, it did not cost them more and give them a reason to charge me $90 extra then if I would have just bought them when the shows came to town and tickets went on sale. Should be interesting if I even get a response. I have decided this will be our last years if this is how they treat loyal customers. Hell, I paid over $800 for 5 plays for the both of us. Thats getting way to expensive and the shows are not all worth it. Making a beef roast, potato and beans for supper with a salad. Will spend the night watching TV from the DVR and taping the shows that are live throughout the night to watch later through the DVR so we can fast forward through the commercials. Tomorrow it is suppose to get into the 60s and hopefully I can get my butt outside and take my usual walk along the river trails.

October 9, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Last night we went and saw the movie How To Survive a Plague. It was a good movie and I think it should be shown in high schools so kids today know about AIDS and the struggle in the beginning of this disease. It was very sad to think that most of the people who fought for meds to be released faster and were in the documentary didn't live into the middle 90s to see the new meds and be able to survive. As the years when on in the movie the death toll would scroll over the screen. Wow, did we loose a lot of good young bright minds. Got home around 9:30 PM and spent the rest of the night watching Dancing With The Stars on the DVR from earlier in the night. I am so damn sick of Bristol Palin, I hope she gets sent home. Boo hoo, she will most likely get the sympathy vote after her crying last night on the show. Went to bed around 11 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the early morning outside leaf blowing before this afternoon's rain. Around 11:30 I went for a nice long walk along the river trails. Figured tomorrow will be too cold and rainy for a walk according to the weather report. It was in the 60s today so it was nice enough for a walk. Spent the afternoon watching TV on the couch with the dogs. Will most likely watch some shows off the DVR tonight from the past nights and then the Dance Results show. Will make some salads for supper and I think I am going to go buy a $5 Little Caesars pizza to go with it.

October 8, 2012 Monday Afternoon
We did indeed spend all day Saturday watching TV and spending time with the dogs. Cleared most of the DVR watching The Neighbors, The Middle, The New Normal and The Big Bang Theory to name a few shows. Finished off the night watching the movies Voodoo Academy (a boys in briefs movie) and Prometheus. I was hoping Prometheus would be better than VA and it was not much better. Went to bed around 10:30 PM after a little lovin.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Made breakfast and spend the morning reading the newspaper and doing things around the house. Around noon my parents showed up and we all went to the annual dog costume walk on Brady Street. We have done this for over 5 years now and we all enjoy it. They then took Tony and I out for lunch at Harry's Bar and Grill. Had a great lunch and conversation. One thing nice about getting older, you seem to have more in common with your parents and I have a much stronger relationship. Got home a little after 3 PM and in a little while we were in the bedroom doing the lovin thing. Spent the rest of the day and night clearing the DVR and then watching the movie God Bless America. It was a very good movie but very politically incorrect at that. This guy looses his job and goes around shooting people that do him wrong. In one scene people were talking in a movie theater and he told them to quiet down. When they didn't he pulled out a gun and shot them all. Must have been what it was like at the Batman movie months ago in Colorado. Like I said, the movie was very politically incorrect but had an interesting premise. Not sure how this movie even got made because of the plot and scenes. 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 4 loads of laundry and dusting and cleaning the house. Around noon I went for a nice hour and a half walk around the river trails. Saw another stray cat hiding and tried to get it, it ran away soon enough. Feel sorry for the stray animals with it getting colder outside at night. Took a nice hour nap with the dogs and now I am posting. Just making some salads for supper tonight since we are going to a movie for the Milwaukee Film Festival called How To Survive a Plague. It is about the AIDS crisis back in the early days and will sure to be a tear jerker reflecting on how different my life would be then and not now with AIDS. Will let you know how it is tomorrow. Was 55 degrees and sunny today, felt great walking with ear muffs and mittens.

Around noon my parents showed up and we all went to the annual dog costume walk on Brady Street. We have done this for over 5 years now and we all enjoy it. They then took Tony and I out for lunch at Harry's Bar and Grill. Had a great lunch and conversation. One thing nice about getting older, you seem to have more in common with your parents and I have a much stronger relationship. Got home a little after 3 PM and in a little while we were in the bedroom doing the lovin thing. Spent the rest of the day and night clearing the DVR and then watching the movie God Bless America. It was a very good movie but very politically incorrect at that. This guy looses his job and goes around shooting people that do him wrong. In one scene people were talking in a movie theater and he told them to quiet down. When they didn't he pulled out a gun and shot them all. Must have been what it was like at the Batman movie months ago in Colorado. Like I said, the movie was very politically incorrect but had an interesting premise. Not sure how this movie even got made because of the plot and scenes. 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 4 loads of laundry and dusting and cleaning the house. Around noon I went for a nice hour and a half walk around the river trails. Saw another stray cat hiding and tried to get it, it ran away soon enough. Feel sorry for the stray animals with it getting colder outside at night. Took a nice hour nap with the dogs and now I am posting. Just making some salads for supper tonight since we are going to a movie for the Milwaukee Film Festival called How To Survive a Plague. It is about the AIDS crisis back in the early days and will sure to be a tear jerker reflecting on how different my life would be then and not now with AIDS. Will let you know how it is tomorrow. Was 55 degrees and sunny today, felt great walking with ear muffs and mittens.

October 6, 2012 Saturday Afternoon
Tony got home from work yesterday around 2:15 PM. Got him in the shower and we were out the door by 3:15 PM in our suit and ties lookin good. Ran into rush hour traffic, which I anticipated and got to the Wedding in at the New Berlin Country Club about 15 minutes before the wedding ceremony. The groom is in his late 20s and was an employee of Tony's years ago when he was in high school or college, needing a part time job. Worked for Tony full time between jobs. The best man was Tony's nephew's son, and the rest of the wedding party worked for Tony or came to visit when the others were working for him. Tony has always highers a 'grunt' around the shop. Usually charity because he doesn't need the person, and usually family or a close friend who needs a job and money. So Tony has made a lot of friends giving them jobs when they needed it. So we knew the whole wedding party from work or parties at their homes throughout the years. We seem to be able to party and fit in with people our age and much younger with no problem. Got to tell you, this is the strangest group of guys you will every meet. Each one is a great guy, but I could tell you stories about their drunken escapades that would have you falling down laughing. The wedding was outside and it was cold. They guys in the wedding party were shivering in their tuxes waiting for the bride and girls to come out and line up. Thankfully I brought my gloves and ear muffs and the ceremony was only 20 minutes in the 48 degree and windy weather. After the wedding ceremony was open bar until about 6:30 PM when we were served a great meal. The groom was scared to death and it showed. He would not even want to kiss when we chimed the glasses. You would have thought it was a 'shot gun wedding' the way he was acting. After the ceremony I asked him how he was feeling because he looked like he was going to pass out. He looked at me straight on and said 'dude, you just saw what happened, I fricken got married, this is a nightmare'. I laughed so hard I almost peed a little. It was like he entered the Twilight Zone and could not believe what just took place, his wedding. The wedding party guys all look up to Tony, and me as his partner, so they all treat us like we are there favorite big brother or someone they look up to in life. It felt good to hear throughout the night one after one tell me how Tony changed their lives because of giving them a job when they needed it most and how much he taught them about life. We even were at the tables right up front with the family and ushers of the ceremony, which we knew. After the bride and groom dance and the father and bride dance the floor cleared and the DJ asked couples to come up and dance. A slow song was playing. No one got up so I grabbed Tony, to the applause of everyone and we danced gazing into each others eyes knowing everyone was watching us. The DJ then said over the mic 'it is so nice to see a couple look into each other's eyes as they dance'. We were and it was magical. It was like it was our day. Soon other couples joined us and the dance floor was filled. Soon after that the music turned to dance and it was getting close to 8 PM. I felt it time to go since Vito needs to eat and get his Insulin shot which he should have gotten at his regular time of 5 PM. Tony was not happy to leave but agreed since one of the couple's at the table is diabetic and confirmed in conversation to Tony that keeping Vito on a schedule is very important and confirmed why I do what I do and give up what I do for Vito. I honestly think Tony learned something since hearing it all from me does not mean as much as hearing about adherence and being diabetic is all about and the care needed to stay healthy and not have a diabetic reaction. We left around 8 PM. Got home a little after 8:30 PM. The dogs got fed right away and Vito got his shot. We watched a little TV from the DVR and went to bed around 10:30 PM.
This morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. I had promised Tony that today would be a 'do nothing day' and we have pretty much kept to it. Tony is napping right now on the bed as I type this. I did some leaf blowing and work outside this morning and he went to the bank and checked on the shop. Been just laying around all day now watching TV before the nap. I tried to nap and laid there for a while before I grabbed Vito and we left the bedroom. I can't leave Vito on the bed since he is blind and will most likely want to be by me and fall off the bed to get to me in the living room. Will make some salads and a pizza for supper tonight, spending the night clearing the DVR of all the shows from TV last week I record, keeping to my 'do nothing' promise. I record a lot of TV. Sunday is a dog walk on Brady street and my parents for the past 5 years have come down and spent the day at it with Tony and I. We then go out for a late lunch after the dog costume walk. So that is what is planned for tomorrow, an afternoon with the folks. Cloudy and about 45 degrees right now. Suppose to get down in the 20s tonight. Thankfully our furnace works. We turned it on today.

October 5, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Law and Order SVU on the DVR, then X Factor and Grey's Anatomy before going to bed around 10:15 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 went back to bed for an hour. Got up, showered and met the guys for lunch. Tony did not come to lunch because he needed to be home a little after 2 PM to get ready for the wedding we are going to in a little while. Had a great lunch and came home and started to get my suit and tie on for the wedding. Tony is in the shower and soon I will need to dress him. LOL. I have his suit all laid out. Will most likely go to the wedding, eat at the dinner and leave shortly after that to get home and feed the dogs and give Vito his shot, hopefully all by 9 PM. All this is up in the air depending on how much time there is between the wedding and the dinner. Will have to just go without the reception to get home to the dogs. The things I give up for them, but it is better than Vito going into a diabetic coma or something. In the 50s today and suppose to be much the same all weekend. Have to get going and get Tony dressed and out the door. Have a great weekend everyone.

October 4, 2012 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching the Presidential Debate. Man was I disappointed in Obama. Found myself screaming at the TV 'just spit it out', 'just say it' as he stuttered and paused during every sentence. He could not make a sentence without pausing to think about his next word or words. At times I looked at Tony and and said 'did he drink before this debate'. Romney did so much better. I will still have to stand behind Obama since the Republicans would roll back any advances we have made in gay rights, but I was very disappointed in him and thought he could do so much better. Even called my Republican father after the debate and told him what I thought and that his guy won the debate. Went to bed around 10 PM as the raccoon was high up in the back yard tree.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Figured I had the morning and early afternoon to enjoy the 70s that were coming before the big cold front hits later this afternoon. Made the most of the good weather. Took the pond plant out of the pond and brought it into the house for the Winter since it is suppose to be in the 30s and maybe the 20s this weekend. Tomorrow a high of 50 degrees and it was 75 degrees today. Used the leaf blower around the yad to blow the leaves into the garden. As I post this it doesn't even look like I did it this morning the leaves are falling so fast from the wind. Went to Walgreen's around 11 AM to buy some tomato soup on sale and with an extra coupon I had. They were out of the soup earlier in the week when I was there. I do love tomato soup and think of my mom's mother, my grandma, when I make it. She added a ton of sugar and remember it being so sweet and good as a kid. I add sweet and low and it tastes like she made it. Picked up a chicken sandwich at Cousins and came home and ate it in front of the dogs. They were not happy since I did not share, only being a 6 inch sub. Went for a long 2 hour walk along the river, stopping and reflecting in spots watching the water flow and the leaves falling fast and furious. Sat and talked with a guy fishing for a half hour as we watched the Salmon swimming up stream. Some were over 2 feet long. I feel so peaceful and relaxed when I walk or sit by the water and paths along the river. I could sit there for hours just watching nature, feeling so at ease and at peace. Will spend the rest of the day watching TV as I do things around the house. Making left over Taco's for supper tonight since we only ate half what I made last night and I don't want it to go to waste. Tomorrow night we have a Wedding to go to and I will have to wait and feed the dogs after we get home later at night. I can't feed them prior to 3 PM when we will have to leave for the Wedding. Will most likely come back home and feed them in between the Wedding and dinner or just call it a night by 8 PM and get home and feed them then. They will not be happy since we have never done this before. I figure they will be hungry but will be fine. Better I figure than feeding them so early and then walking out the door not knowing if Vito's Insulin is working right and them needing to relieve themselves after eating. Tonight we will most likely watch X Factor, Greys Anatomy and TV off the DVR before we go to bed. The clouds have moved in and now the temperature is dropping. Suppose to be in the 40s tonight. I am not ready for the cold air coming our way for the weekend. Suppose to be high of 50 all weekend. That will be a shock from the nice 70s we have been having.

October 3, 2012 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching a couple NCIS and CSI shows from the DVR along with the Dancing With The Stars Results. I was so mad at the end of the show I honestly don't feel like watching it any more. Bristol Palin should be off the show. She had the lowest score and sucks. Those damn Republicans will always vote for 'their' person rather than 'the best person'. I can't wait until next month when this election is over and hopefully we can laugh at all the money the Republicans spent to try to lie and win this election. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Cleaned the pond pump early in the morning. Went grocery shopping around 10 AM, stopping at McDonald's first for a bacon egg and cheese bagel. Got home a little after 11 AM and did some things around the house. Around 1 PM just as I was going to go for a walk it started drizzling outside. Instead drove to ARCW (AIDS Resource Center Wisconsin) and picked up my monthly food from the pantry and my monthly prescriptions. I still can not believe how cheap my part of the copay is on Medicare. When I had private insurance I paid over $100 a month for prescriptions, so don't tell me Obama's Health Care Plan is not working. It is. Plus most people don't realize now, your monthly premiums INCLUDE blood tests and such that they did not cover in the past. Nice to get something for your monthly premiums rather than the Insurance companies making money off us sick people. Drove home in the drizzle and spent the rest of the afternoon watching TV. My knees are bothering me today, started yesterday. I up until about a year ago had to wear knee straps on both my knees to keep the knee cap in place due to bad knee surgeries over 10 years ago. For the last year I haven't had to wear the straps, now I am back on them. I weighed myself today just to see if maybe I was gaining weight, which usually doesn't help with the knees. I have not gained any weight and actually feel good about where I am right now. Of course I could loose another 5 or 10 pounds, but most of us could. Making Taco's tonight for supper with a can of re fried beans. Haven't made Taco's in a long time so it will be a nice change of pace. I am running out of ideas and things to make for supper. Will most likely watch X Factor and then the President debates tonight. God I hope Romney puts his foot in his mouth like he does almost every time he opens it. I hope Obama does well and shows America what the Republicans plan is, which they still have not said. I am so sick of all the commercials since we are in a 'battle state' too close to call. All the Republican commercials say 'my plan' will do this or that, yet they still have not told us what their plan is other than give more tax breaks to the rich and throw is little people to the wolves to fend for ourselves. Just can't wait until it is over. If Obama gets elected I might be able to see my dream of some day marrying Tony legally. If the Republicans get in office it will be up to the Supreme Court and could take years or more.

October 2, 2012 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Dancing With The Stars and then Hawaii Five O before going to bed. Didn't sleep well due the nap. I did see both rabbits, the raccoon and the possum in the back yard prior to sleeping. Had to chase the raccoon out of the side yard again around 8 PM. It is not welcome in the side yard.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the early morning doing projects around the house off my 'to do list'. Fixed a board on the deck and cleaned out the rain gutter on the first floor off the side of the house. I can only get to the lower rain gutters. Went to the copy store to make some copies of my taxes for HIRSP. Mailed the paperwork and the copies when I got home. Went for a nice walk along the river this afternoon since I was not going to take a nap and be up all night like last night. Saw a fox running through the field, and a snake in the sidewalk coming back home. Never saw a fox before back there in the woods. It was a big fox and ran very fast chasing something in the field. Watched it until I lost track of it. Will make some salads and sweet and sour chicken for supper tonight. Made an Oncore dinner last night and ended up throwing my part of it away it was so horrible tasting. Won't buy one of those again. Tony was so hungry he ate his all anyway. Will most likely watch the Dancing Results and then TV from the DVR the rest of the night tonight. Was in the low 60s today in Milwaukee with the sun out. I love this weather but I better enjoy it while it lasts. Tomorrow is suppose to be in the 70s and then in the 50s for a few days and not looking to good sun wise.

October 1, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Saturday afternoon we tried again to have lunch at the Italian Community Center and use our gift certificate. Walked in the place and was told they are now closed on all Saturdays. Went I asked him why he didn't tell us this last Saturday and that we had come again because the website still says they are open. He had no answer so I asked him if there was a manager to talk to. She was in the next office and she was nice enough to begin with, but then started making excuses. I then said 'this really doesn't make us want to come back again', and the worker looked at me and said 'with an attitude like that we don't want you coming back'. I freaked. I stopped dead in my tracks out the door and looked at them both and said 'what, are you kidding me, I came here with an empty stomach for lunch, not here for attitude'. The manager quickly apologized and worked hard to get the worker who made the comment out of the room. The manager then said 'we will not be open on Saturday's anymore due to lack of business'. I looked at her and said 'if you treat all your customers like this I can see why', and walked out the door with Tony. We then had a great lunch a Bar Louie on Water Street. Came home and since the garage door was giving us trouble we decided to go to Sears and look at them and maybe buy a part that is needed to fix it. Well, this is Tony's project, fixing the garage door, and I could not believe that when we talked with someone Tony didn't even know what brand of opener we had much less the model number. How the hell did he think he would get parts not knowing any of this. Ended up going home and deciding to see what the Sunday newspaper ads have on sale since we might as well just buy a new one than try to figure out why this one won't work. It is two years or more old. Got Tony to go for a bike ride along the river around 4 PM and about half way through the bike ride he stopped and said 'don't ever ask me to go for a bike ride again. I don't like riding bikes and it hurts my body'. Wow, we are having fun now. Rode home without another word. Spent the rest of the day watching TV on the DVR and the movie After Dusk They Come. Typical horror movie. We did watch the last two episodes of All The Right Moves along with a few sitcoms from the week. Went to bed around 10 PM after a little lovin.
Sunday we were up by 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. I did not see the raccoon Saturday night. Left the house by 10 AM and had breakfast at IHop prior to going to Menard's. Bought a new garage door opener and a few other items. At this point Tony is not in a very good mood because he knows what he has in store for him the rest of the day. I look at projects like this as fun. He looks at them as a pain in the ass since he works all week and just wants to spend the weekends watching TV or napping. I do understand, but things happen and need to be fixed around the house and I can not do it all. I know my limits. Now if I was single and had to get it installed, I would find a way to do it or pay someone I guess. Tony worked on the garage door from noon until close to 5 PM. I tried to help but each time, in time, he would just start swearing and telling me to just go in the house, 'I don't need your help'. Funny, each time I came out he did need my help because I would see something he didn't do or did wrong and had to change. He can be such an asshole sometimes, but he is mine. Made some steaks on the grill and spent the night watching Amazing Race, Good Wife and Mentalist. Around 8 PM the raccoon showed up and I watched him in the backyard for a while. I then lost track of him and when I checked our side yard with the pond, where the poison pellets were, there it was looking for more. So I know now the raccoon did indeed eat the poison but must have thrown it up or it hasn't killed it. My neighbor did say she found this pile of something she has never seen before in her yard, so that might be what the raccoon threw up. Hopefully it will still survive, but since it was back in that spot last night, in the side yard near the pond, I know he indeed ate the poison. Chased him out of the side yard since I do not want him in here with my dogs. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Spent the morning doing things around the house inside and outside. Pan fried some left over pizza from Saturday night for lunch, and took a nice long two hour nap with the dogs. Will most likely spend the night watching Dancing With The Stars and DVR the CBS TV line up. It was in the 60s today in Milwaukee and cloudy. Warm enough, but it gets cool at night in the 40s. Suppose to be nice half the week, towards the end of the week it is to get much colder and feel more like Fall. Feeling very tired today and feel like I could go right back to sleep.

Pan fried some left over pizza from Saturday night for lunch, and took a nice long two hour nap with the dogs. Will most likely spend the night watching Dancing With The Stars and DVR the CBS TV line up. It was in the 60s today in Milwaukee and cloudy. Warm enough, but it gets cool at night in the 40s. Suppose to be nice half the week, towards the end of the week it is to get much colder and feel more like Fall. Feeling very tired today and feel like I could go right back to sleep.
