Spent last night watching TV from the DVR. Finished off the night with the show Deception on NBC. Went to sleep around 10:20 PM after the local news and weather. Got woken up at 1:30 AM with thunder and Vito barking at the thunder. Thankfully it did not last long.
Got up this morning at 6 AM. Was throwing up in the sink before I even got to feeding the dogs. Haven't started my day like this in a while. I do not like starting my day off throwing up. Fed the dogs, gave Vito his shot, made a ham sandwich for Tony to take to work, and sent him out the door. Spent the morning doing things outside with the pond. Got the pond pump working yesterday and for some reason last nights rain shorted out the power to the pump this morning. Had to put a new cord to the pump for now. The pump will be turned off, and is off as I post, and the heater is now plugged in again. It got to 60 degrees today in Milwaukee. We broke an all time record today. Of course it is not going to last long. Rain is about an hour away and we are suppose to get a lot. Temperature is then to drop and we are to have a high of 12 degrees on Friday. I hate these temperature swings. Got contacted from someone from Tumblr the other day and had a conference call with them at noon today. Was a little confused why they wanted me on the call since I can not promote this Blog on the website. Got off the call about a half hour into it when I realized it was not for me. Went to the Tumblr website and honestly I don't understand it. Went for a nice long walk along the river trails after the phone call. Thought I would be safe wearing Tony's rubber shoes. Found out shortly into the walk that they leaked bad and by the time I got home my socks were all wet. The trails are very muddy and tonight's rain will not help. Of course it will be too cold to walk until again next week. Took Stella for a walk around the block to loosen up her back leg today. She has been favoring it lately and needs to be walked more often. I don't take them on my walks because to many people take their dogs and don't have them on a leash. Would not be good for an unleashed dog to come up to Stella. Kali is getting to old, and Vito being blind, not good. So Bo would be my only other choice and he would rather just stay home with Stella. Speaking of Bo, I have a 4 PM vet appointment to have his nails trimmed. If it is pouring outside at that time I might just cancel. Looks like it might be. Just going to make soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for supper tonight with a salad. Will most likely spend the night watching TV listening to the rain fall. Suppose to get about 2 inches of rain and even flash flood warnings begin at 4 PM today.

January 28, 2013 Monday Afternoon
Spent Friday night watching TV from the DVR. Gave Tony a Cialis when he came home and showered. Went to bed around 10 PM for some lovin.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. Spent the entire day just laying around watching TV. We tried taking a nap with the dogs, but we both laid there and really didn't nap. Left the house around 4 PM to go to a friends 50th Birthday party. Had a great time at the party. Had three drinks and got home a little after 9 PM. Great food at the party also. Got home feeling a little tipsy and after we watched TV for a while we went to bed for some lovin.
Sunday morning we were up again by 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent a little time reading the Sunday newspaper before we showered and met Tony's mom for breakfast. Had a nice breakfast and after walked next door to Stein Garden and bought more bird food for the outside birds. Tony told me this morning he was out. Why someone waits until it is all gone to let me know they need more is just mind blowing. Anyway. We picked up lottery tickets on the way home and got home a little before noon. Took a nap with the dogs since it was snowing outside. Of course it turned into the lovin thing again. Got good use of the Cialis pill again this weekend. Went outside in the afternoon to shovel and was so sad to see parts of my rabbit I feed, all over the back yard. I had not seen my rabbit all week and just figured it was because of the cold. Damn, it makes me so sad. I have fed these rabbits for over 3 years. I think a cat must have got him. We were down to two rabbits and I think they are both dead now since I have not seen them or they have not been around to eat any bread for over a week. Spent the night watching the movie The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. It was a good movie. Finished off the night with The Good Wife and The Mentalist, before we went to sleep.
This morning I was up by 7 AM. Fed the dogs, gave Vito his shot, and got Tony off to work. Spent the morning reading the newspapers and doing four loads of laundry. All the bedding and dog blankets all washed. Around noon, since it was about 40 degrees outside, I went for a nice long walk along the river trails, ending at Pick N Save to make a bank deposit and by some strawberries and ham and rolls. Mental note to wear my boots, net tennis shoes, this time of year when I walk the muddy river trials. Walked home and after I ate a sandwich, I took a two hour nap with the dogs. I usually am up from the nap by 3 PM and was surprised to see it was 3:45 PM when I woke up. Jumped out of bed and started getting supper ready before I started this post. Making pork ribs and potatoes for supper tonight with a salad. Will most likely watch a movie tonight since we pretty much cleared the DVR over the weekend. Tomorrow it is suppose to get above 50 degrees, and then the cold front comes through and we drop to the teens by Friday. I hate this up and down and just wish Winter would end soon.

January 25, 2013 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching American Idol and Glee. Went to bed and watched some cable show 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. Read the morning newspapers and started my usual Friday movie downloads. Showered and went to Pick N Save to buy some fresh produce for the weekend. Watched a little TV and did a load of laundry before meeting the guys for lunch. Ate a Big Boy Grilled Cheese and a bowl of Chili. Had a great lunch as usual. Came home and took a needed nap with the dogs. I still feel tired today and just can not get enough sleep. Thankfully this is not turning into the flu, but I feel like I have something. Feeling weak and tired. Will just make some salads for supper tonight and some left over spaghetti from last night for Tony. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR. We have a friends Birthday party to go to Saturday late afternoon. Other than that, no plans and will most likely spend the weekend watching TV and keeping warm with the dogs.

January 24, 2013 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching American Idol. Damn do I hate Nikki on the show. She acts like a spoiled brat who wants to do all the talking and get all the face time on camera. I also can not stand her voice. Wish she would have walked off the show and stayed off. Went to bed around 9 PM for some lovin and then went to sleep.
This morning I woke up with a cough and felt sick. Read a little of the morning newspaper and then went back to bed until around 11 AM. Made a can of tomato soup for lunch and took a nice long bath. The hot water felt so good but the bath was hard to enjoy. Bo kept bring me a tennis ball and dropping it feet from the tub, and then would bark for me to get it and play with him. I would have gotten mad if he wasn't so damn cute doing it. Cut my bath short to get out and play ball with Bo. Spent the afternoon finishing the book I started on Tuesday called Endal. Great book and glad I read it. It is the story of a family. The husband injured in war with a head and body injury. He had memory loss and could not remember his family or wife. The book goes back and forth from the wife and the husbands perspective and what happens along the way. Eventually they get a dog name Endal to help the husband since he can not walk or feel one side of his body. The story goes on about the training of this dog and what he all could do. Such a wonderful TRUE story. Of course I was in tears by the end of the book knowing how it would end with the dog advancing in age. The book did not mention his death, but I looked it up on the Internet and the dog died March 13, 2009. I broke down in tears reading that on the Internet. So sad. Death sucks. I will have to pass this book onto my sister and mom. I think they will enjoy it as much as I did. Made me think how lucky I have been to have had the best dogs in my life a guy could ever ask for. My Buddy would have been a perfect dog to help the disabled. I miss him terribly some days. Now I am crying again, missing him. After I post I will start making supper. Making spaghetti, garlic bread and a salad. Will most likely spend the night watching American Idol and then Glee before going to bed. It got to 20 degrees today in Milwaukee, but still felt cold. Plus feeling sick makes this worse. I feel chilled to the bone and can't get warm. I hope I am not getting the flu.

January 23, 2013 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Deception on the Internet and then TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Although it was a bit warmer today, it did not feel like it. It got to 20 degrees this afternoon. Went back to bed for an hour around 9 AM because I was so cold. Just couldn't shake the chill in my bones. Got up and took a nice hot shower. Spent the rest of the day watching TV and reading the book I started yesterday, trying to say warm. Did very little today. Took a short nap in bed with the dogs in the afternoon. Making a frozen pizza and salads for supper since I don't feel like cooking tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching American Idol and then go to bed early. Not only am I so cold today, I feel like I could have slept all day.

January 22, 2013 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching Revenge, Hawaii Five O, and a couple other shows on the DVR from the night before. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Knew I was not going to leave the house again today due to the extreme cold. Read the morning newspapers and then showered, shivering as I dried off. Spent the entire day doing laundry and started my next book called Endal. It is about a dog who help a war vet and their family after the husband was injured in war. I am half way done with the book, which is good cause I read slow. Up to page 162 which is half way. Got the mail this afternoon and there was a note in the mailbox from a reporter for the Shepard Express wanting us to call her because she would like to do a story on our house. Called and left a message that we are very interested. An hour later she returned my call and she interviewed me and recorded our conversation. She told me someone would be over today or tomorrow to take pictures of the house. Sent her some pictures by email that I had also of the cars in the front yard. Can't wait to see the story and what she writes. Making sweet and sour chicken with a salad for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the night before on the DVR. It is very cold again today in Milwaukee. It got to 6 degrees today. The sun was out all day and it looked much nicer outside. Went out once to pick up poop and came in frozen to the bone. Poor dogs having to go out in this cold. Tomorrow is not suppose to be much warmer. I do hate these Winters like this in Wisconsin. Saw yesterday's comment.

January 21, 2013 Monday Afternoon
Baby it's cold outside!
Friday afternoon after I had posted I remembered another thing I wanted to do. Tony and I had recorded ourselves over 20 years ago in the bedroom. We talked about it at lunch and I wondered what had happened to the VHS copy of this encounter. I searched the house and found it. The first DVR out of the basement wouldn't even play the 20 year old VHS tape. The second VHS player I had in the basement played the tape with some help. Recorded the video onto the computer as I played and watched it. Broke the VHS tape in two and threw it away after I was done recording and transferring onto a CD and on the computer. Sometimes I can not believe the things I tell you guys. Anyway, Tony got home from work and I showed him the recording, which got him a little frisky. He took a Cialis and a shower. After his shower we watched the video again and did the lovin thing. Was kind of weird watching ourselves in a video as we were 'doing it' again for real. It ws the only video like this we ever did and was glad I still could find it and that it didn't make it's way to the Internet or someone else's hands. Spent the rest of the night watching Criminal Minds from the DVR and then the 20/20 special on marriage before going the sleep around 10:30 PM.
Saturday morning we were up at 7 AM. It was still warm, 41 degrees in the morning, so I took Stella for a walk around the block. Enjoyed the walk so much and figured it would be our last warm day for a while, so when Tony went to the bank, I took a long walk along the river trails. Was glad I took the walk. Went out for lunch at a Mexican restaurant. Came home and spent the rest of the day watching TV from the DVR and then the movie Keep The Lights On. It was an OK movie. Went to bed around 9 PM to get more use of Tony's Cialis pill from the night before. Went to sleep around 10 PM.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. Made eggs, bacon and bagels with cream cheese for breakfast. What a difference a day makes. It was no warmer than 10 degrees all day on Sunday. Went to Pick N Save with Tony around 1 PM to do the weekly grocery shopping and buy lottery tickets. I figured since it is so cold outside I better get it over with and kill two birds with one stone, the lottery and groceries. Spent the afternoon on the couch watching TV from the DVR. Actually got the DVR empty except a couple episodes of Parking Wars. Spent the night watching the movie Flight, which was very good. Went to bed around 9 PM for some lovin and then went to sleep.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Got showered early today and got all warm in my one piece snuggle outfit. It is cold in Milwaukee today. It never got warmer than 5 degrees today, even with the sun out. Went outside once today to pick up dog poop. Spent the day watching a couple movies I have had for a while and know Tony would have no interest in watching. Watched the movies Creation and Oceans Deep Planet Earth. The first was about Charles Darwin, the other was a nature story about the oceans. Enjoyed both movies and kept warm all day. Making a Hormel meat loaf, beef flavored rice and salad for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night snuggling on the couch with the dogs, watching TV, and staying warm. Suppose to be the coldest air in two years hitting us tonight. Did I mention it never go above 5 degrees today? Tomorrow will be another day struggling to keep warm.

January 18, 2012 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night watching American Idol. I do not like Nikki at all. She seems there just for the face time on TV. I was never a Keith Urban fan, but he is handsome and I like him more and more the more I watch the show. Will be interesting when the Live shows start. Went to bed around 9 PM for some lovin and went to sleep after.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspapers and did my usual Friday movie downloads. Around 10 AM I got an email from ATT saying my email account might be compromised and I should change my password. For a second I thought it was fake and then my email box started filling up with all my old deleted emails from now going back in time. I kept deleting them as they arrived and when it got back to April of last year and I had deleted over a thousand emails, I called ATT. Was on hold and by the time they wanted to transfer me to a third person I told them I can not do this now since I have lunch plans and will have to call back and fix this problem later after lunch. Changed my email password quickly at their website and got off the phone. Watched my email account fill up with more old deleted email and then walked out the door and went to lunch. Had my email on my mind so I could not enjoy lunch. Started thinking I might have a virus and what it might be doing to my computer. Had a good lunch and left when I was done eating since I had to pick up a Leather jacket I was having a zipper fixed and was ready to be picked up. I was the first to leave lunch and even told Tony he didn't have to leave just now because I was. I picked up the jacket on my way home and came home to over 2000 emails on my account. All old deleted emails going back to when I set up the account. Deleted them all and for some reason the problem has stopped. I think it is because I was smart enough to change my password before lunch so emails where still arriving that had already been send or compromised. Sure was weird and wish I knew why this happened. I hate to call ATT and be on the phone with them just to find out, so I will hope I fixed the problem changing my password. This is why I use my Live.com email on this blog. I should just dump my ATT.net email. Spent the afternoon folding and putting away two loads of laundry before I laid back on the couch with the dogs and watched some TV. Making leftover spaghetti and salads for supper tonight. Will most likely watch TV from the DVR all night since the DVR has over 30 shows on it to watch at this point and just keeps filling more as each day goes by. No plans this weekend. I hope to go grocery shopping and get lottery tickets on Sunday so I don't have to leave the house from Monday through Wednesday. It is suppose to be bitter dangerously cold those days and below zero temperatures. So if I don't have to leave the house next week, I won't. I do have two books lined up to start next week as I hibernate from the cold. By next week Friday we get up to 32 degrees, according to the forecast, so I just have to make it from Sunday to Thursday keeping warm. Poor dogs, they are not going to like going outside next week to do their duties.

January 17, 2013 Thursday Afternoon
Called my mom around 4 PM yesterday afternoon and had a nice talk with her. I do love my phone calls with mom and don't know what I will do when she is gone. We are very close and I am so glad things are the way there are now. Spent last night watching American Idol and then CSI on TV before going to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the early morning reading the newspapers. I then started reading my blog from day one, so I could see how much my life has changed since those dark days. Wow, was I a mess. Read the first few months. I can not believe how low I was mentally back then, four years ago. I also was happy to realize how far I have come and how much I have accomplished since then. I honestly thought my life was coming to an end when I found out four years ago I had AIDS. I can see, by reading my blog, how much I have done and what a great life I would have missed if I had done something stupid or died. As I read my posts I could feel what I was feeling back then. I like to go back once in a while and read past years in my blog, which is another reason I put each year on hard cover book form. It really is nice to see how much life I lived, life I thought I would never see. Honestly, I look at every day and year as a bonus because if I had gotten this disease 20 years ago, I would be dead by now and it would have been a horrible, sick ending. Showered around 11 AM and left the house around 11:30 AM for my board meeting with ARCW. Had a good meeting and got home around 2:30 PM. Will most likely, after I am done posting, relax on the couch with a magazine. Making some chicken cordon blue and mac and cheese for supper with a salad. Will most likely watch another night of American Idol tonight before we go to bed. Got to 22 degrees today in Milwaukee. It seemed cold but the worst is about to hit us. The weather man says next week we will be in the singe digits. That's cold!

January 16, 2013 Wednesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 9 PM and watched an hour or more TV in bed before going to sleep around 10:30 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspapers and showered by 10 AM. Left the house and went to Walgreen's to buy some sale items. Stopped off at McDonald's for a buy one get one free steak egg cheese bagel. I will either eat the other one tomorrow of chop it up for the dogs. Went to Pick N Save and did the weekly grocery shopping. Was surprised when the total came to $77.40. I had exactly $77 in my wallet and a pocket full of change. Guess that is better than having to put an item or two back. Left Pick N Save with an empty wallet. After I was home a while I printed out all the tax forms I need this year to do my taxes. I have all the information I need to start them. Did my federal 1040 and schedule C, as well as my state and homestead taxes. Got them all done around 1 PM. I will wait until February 1st to rewrite them and send them in just in case something I need arrives in the mail at the last of the month. Since I make very little money they are very easy to do. I will get some money back for Homestead credit of Wisconsin so that is a good thing. Took a short nap with the dogs. Making spaghetti and salads for supper tonight. Will most likely watch American Idol tonight. Looking forward to this new season and the new judges. I also like the first shows when the singers are not so good. Today it got to 32 degrees but since it was cloudy and windy, it felt colder than yesterday.

January 15, 2013 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching The Good Wife, The Mentalist, Revenge and Deception prior to going to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. After I read a little of the morning newspaper I started moving thing around in the bedroom. I had moved the cable box and speakers to the other side of the room last week when I rearranged the furniture. I did not like having the cable box where it now was so I spent the morning rewiring and moving things around. Showered and left the house around 11 AM to go to Radio Shack to buy a connector I needed to make my laptop sound work in the back room on the 110 inch bedroom screen. Then I can put movies I download on my laptop and we can watch them in the bedroom on the big screen. Stopped off at Wendy's and got a Chili and small french fries. Came home and after eating lunch and sharing my fries with the dogs I connected the part I bought at Radio Shack. Spent the afternoon in the bedroom with the dogs watching the movie Les Miserables, that I downloaded over the weekend. I love this movie. Why do I cry every time I see the play or movie? Will spend the rest of the day doing things around the house since I feel I wasted today away. Making a frozen pizza and salad for supper. Will most likely spend tonight watching TV from the DVR before going to bed. Was cold again today in Milwaukee. Only got to 25 degrees, but the sun was out.

January 14, 2013 Monday Afternoon
Spent Friday night watching TV from the DVR. Went to bed around 10 PM.
I was up at 4 AM Saturday morning throwing up and having the runs. Hate when you think your done and then things start coming out a different end. Was not fun and went back to bed, sleeping until close to 8 AM. Finally got up at 8 AM and fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Tony went to work in the morning so I spent the morning doing laundry and things around the house. Spent the afternoon taking a nice long nap snuggled next to Tony and the four dogs. Got up and made a big steak and salad for supper. Spent the night watching the movie House At The End Of The Street. It was a horror movie and OK. Went to bed around 10:30 PM.
At 2:30 AM Sunday morning our phone rings and I get out of bed to answer it only to hear my drunk neighbor telling me 'if we ever put snow in back of his garage again, he will call the city'. When I got my head together and realized who it was and what he was bitching about I told him 'we haven't even had any measurable snow this season, I would never put snow in front of his garage, and why the hell are you calling me at 2:30 AM to bitch about this shit'. Unfuckinbelievable. What a fuckin drunk. After I hung up the phone and Tony and I talked, now wide awake, I called him back only to get his message machine and left him a long message telling him just what I thought of him and his phone call waking us up. I am so sick of the people up and down the alley bitching about Tony plowing the alley. For one, we haven't even plowed it this year. For two, when you plow, some snow will fall off the sides of the plow making a ridge of snow that will need to be shoveled. Hell, we aren't plowing the alley and shoveling out your car spots also. People are such assholes we even stopped plowing the entire alley to be nice and just plow from our house to Center Street. Four houses to the main side street. Of course we could not fall back asleep for a while since this phone call stirred us all up. Finally got back to bed and slept until 7AM.
Got up Sunday morning at 7 AM and fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Went to George Webb's restaurant for some breakfast around 10 AM. Should have switched tables when six people sat next to us smelling of morning drunk and alcohol. I swear we were the only people showered in the restaurant. Made it hard to eat the food these people stank so bad. Finished our breakfast and bought lottery tickets on the way home. Spent the afternoon watching movies. Watched the movies Perfect Pitch (very good), The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (was OK), and Savages (was pretty good). After we fed the dogs supper we order some lasagna and salads from a local restaurant for delivery. Since the food was going to take and hour to be delivered, we closed the curtains and did the lovin thing. Spent the night watching The People's Choice Awards. Went to bed around 10 PM when the awards ended.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. It has now gotten very cold in Milwaukee and since I didn't need to go anywhere today, I decided to stay home and warm all day. Spent the morning cleaning and dusting the house. Took a short nap in the afternoon with the dogs. It is 20 degrees outside and there is a thin layer of ice everywhere from Friday's sleet. Making a Hormel turkey breast meal, green beans and potatoes with a salad for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching TV. Damn it is cold outside.

January 11, 2013 Friday Afternoon
Spent last night clearing the DVR. Watched NCIS, NCIS LA and New Girl, before going to bed around 9 PM to watch Tosh O on cable. Did the lovin thing and went to sleep around 10:30 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning reading the morning newspapers, doing my usual Friday movie downloads, and catching up on emails. Showered and met Tony and the guys for lunch at Bakers Square. Had a great lunch as usual. Got home around 1:30 PM and after a little while I took Stella for a walk around the block to loosen up her back leg, since she has been limping when she walks on it. Laid on the couch and listened to some downloaded music for an hour before I started this post. It is close to 50 degrees outside but cloudy. Very damp outside and feels like a mist in the air. So it is warm, but not nice enough to enjoy the nice weather. Will make some salads for supper tonight and warm up a side for Tony and call it dinner. Will most likely watch more TV from the DVR tonight since it is getting full again. No plans this weekend. Suppose to get in the 30s this weekend, so the warm weather is over for a while, but then again, this is Winter in Wisconsin and we should be buried in snow and wrapped in blankets trying to keep warm.

January 10, 2013 Thursday Afternoon
Last night we had tickets and went to see the play Memphis. I enjoyed the play. Tony was tired from working and did fall asleep at one point and I had to nudge him because he was snoring. The wife of the couple that sits next to us, and has for years, always brings Tony and I a small bag of chocolates or holiday candy of some sort. Last night was no different and we each got a small bag. We laugh each time because we both look at the others bag to see if the other got more or something different. She even looked at us last night and said 'they are both the same'. It was funny. Got home from the play around 10:15 PM and after watching about 15 minutes of the news we went to bed.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. What a difference a day can make. Yesterday I was so tired and dragged myself through the day. Today I felt full of energy and made good use of it. Read the morning newspaper and then decided to clean my bathroom. I honestly hate cleaning the bathroom and Tony usually does it. It needed cleaning and I broke down and did it. After I cleaned the bathroom I spent an hour or so backing up all my music and picture files from the last year on to an external hard drive that Tony keeps at the shop and brought home the other day so I could update it. I update it every January. I keep this hard drive at the shop because I am always afraid we will have a fire or lose the hard drives here at home and loose all our pictures through out life and all the music files I have and listen to daily. Around 11 AM I showered and then went for my usual walk along the river trails. The ice has been melting and the formations are so beautiful from the running water in parts of the river. Some areas are still frozen over from one side to the other, in some areas there is open water. Got home around 1 PM and then got in the car and went to the hardware store with a light that I thought needed a new bulb. Thankfully I was smart enough to bring the light unit along to not only make sure I got the right size florescent bulb, but that the problem was the bulb and not the unit itself. Well, it was not the bulb, but the unit, so I decided to just throw the whole thing away and headed to Pick N Save. Bought some milk and fresh fruit. The clouds have moved in now and it should start raining in a couple hours. Suppose to get a full night of rain tonight. It should be snow for goodness sake, it is January in Wisconsin. It was 40 degrees today and suppose to be close to 50 degrees tomorrow before a cold front comes through for the weekend. We never had 40s or 50s when I was a kid in January. The world is definitely warming. We should be buried in snow this time of year and it will all be gone with tonight's rain. Spent some time just laying on the couch with the dogs listening to music this afternoon. Just put some pork ribs in the oven smothered in barbecue sauce for supper tonight. Will make some potatoes and salad to go with the ribs. I love ribs. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR tonight. I did call my HIV doctor today to set up my next appointment in June. I asked what my percentage was and was told 25. That went down one point. I was increasing in every way up until this number. It is still good, but wished for an increase in CD4 and percentage of healthy cells.

January 9, 2013 Wednesday Afternoon
Around 6 PM last night my HIV doctor called with my blood results from the last blood test I had a week or so ago. Told me I am doing great. My TCell count is at 546, up from 512, and I am still undetectable. Forgot to ask him what my percentage was but I will find out when he mails me a copy of the results with my next blood test I have to take in June. The doctor wants to test other levels at that time too. Was happy with the numbers. Thankfully they keep going up and improving. Spent the night watching TV from the DVR. Got the DVR pretty clear except for the season of Castle. Went to bed around 9:30 PM for a little lovin before we went to sleep.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Feeling very tired today. Read a little of the newspaper and then went back to bed for an hour until about 9:30 AM. Got up and showered and did things around the house. Plugged in the pond pump since there is the hole in the ice from the heater and it is in the 40s today. I am sure the fish appreciate the air. I can see them swimming under the hole in the ice. Made a bagel for lunch and then turned on some music and laid on the bed with the dogs for a while. Just can't seem to wake up today. Hope I am not getting this flu since I did get a flu shot. If I drink lots of watcr and get a lot of sleep I hope to avoid it. And I don't go that many places with other people each day. Tonight we are going to the play Memphis with our season tickets at the Performing Arts Center. Sound like it should be good. Thankfully it is a musical so it will keep Tony, and me, awake, hopefully. Just hope I don't get the flu from someone at the play. Making some salads and left overs for supper before we go to the show. It did get to 40 degrees today and the sun was out, but the wind was strong so it felt much colder outside or I would have gone for a walk. Hopefully tomorrow I will get a walk in since it is to be as warm, less wind, before rain for the night.

January 8, 2013 Tuesday Afternoon
Spent last night watching TV from the DVR. Finished off watching the show Deception on TV in bed. Went to sleep around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read a little of the morning newspaper before showering and leaving the house around 8:30 AM, for my 9 AM dental appointment to have my teeth cleaned at ARCW. Got my teeth nice and clean and headed down to the basement to get my monthly food and pick up some bread for the house and the bunnies. Dropped off some of the food with Tony at the shop for him and the boys the eat, the stuff we won't eat or I won't make to eat. Came home and gave Kali a bath, and after a little bit I noticed it was 40 degrees outside so I went for a nice long walk along the river trail. Watched three kids for a while playing on the ice, waiting for one of them to fall through the ice. They didn't which was good, but how stupid is that to play on thin ice? About half way through my walk I out of no where heard that little voice say 'you have AIDS'. It has been a while since I heard that in my head and it took me back a bit. It has been four years ago yesterday I found out I was HIV+ and then AIDS. I started this blog four years ago. Back then the 'little voice' was loud and it was like someone hit you with a brick in the head. Now it just seems to take you back a moment, and you shake your head in disbelief. Continued my walk and got home in about an hour and a half. Took a short nap with the dogs since I was feeling tired and in need of some hugs and snuggling from the dogs. Making a hamburger helper thing for supper tonight with some salads. We still have a little snow on the ground and it is very slippery around the yard, sidewalks and alley due to the snow melting and then re freezing. Almost fell when I took the garbage out earlier. Will most likely watch TV from the DVR tonight. I am sure we will go to bed early for some lovin since we didn't do it last night. Neither of us can go more then two days without some 'lovin'.

January 7, 2013 Monday Afternoon
The nephew arrived around 1:30 PM on Friday afternoon. Spent the afternoon playing with the dogs and watching Spongebob Squarepants. When Tony got home from work he showered, we made a pizza and then spent the night playing Monopoly. Was a great game for the kid since it taught him how to count money. At first we had to help him, then he caught on. Went to bed around 10:30 PM.
Saturday morning we were up at 7:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning and early afternoon finishing the Monopoly game from the night before. I won. Around 1:30 PM we left the house to go see the movie The Impossible. I can not say enough about this movie. It was SO good. I recommend seeing this movie big time. Go see the movie The Impossible, you will love it. Came home from the movie and after we fed the dogs supper we drove to Culver's and got some supper. Ate the food at Culver's so the dogs wouldn't bother us the whole time we ate. Came home and spent the night watching the movies The Muppets and The 12 Dogs Of Christmas. Both were good movies to watch with the nephew. We went to bed around 10:30 PM.
Sunday morning we again were up at 7:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Was planning on going to grandma's house for breakfast but since I would have to get the kid and Tony out the door to do this, and the fact that going to the movie yesterday, getting them both ready and out the door, was too stressful. LOL. I swear sometimes I wish Tony would help a little and not be like a kid when we are trying to go somewhere. Getting the two of them out the door yesterday afternoon to see the movie was unbelievable. You would think they both had no brains. Made eggs, bacon and muffins for breakfast. Spent the morning and early afternoon watching TV as we played with the dogs. The dogs loved having the kid here. Vito snuggled next to him almost the whole time he was here. Around 1:30 PM his brothers father picked him up with his brother in the car to drive them both to the Illinois border to meet their mother. After the kid left we took a nap, which led to the lovin thing. Held off doing the lovin thing while the kid was here. Spent the night watching a gay themed movie called Harry And Max and then Revenge and The Mentalist on TV. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Spent the morning tearing apart the bedroom and doing a good cleaning. Mopped and dusted the entire bedroom and rearrange the furniture and bed while I cleaned. I like the new layout but it will be interesting how it works out changing the furniture with Vito being blind. Thankfully the only time he is in the bedroom is when I put him on the bed on his pillows so hopefully since the bed didn't change, just a new location, he won't notice and will be OK with the change. Went to Pick N Save this afternoon to buy some fresh produce and milk. Making a canned ham, baked potato and salads for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching TV from the DVR

January 4, 2012 Friday Morning
Spent last night watching American Horror Story, Happily Divorced and Hot In Cleveland. Around 9:30 PM Tony walked past me and said 'look what I still have for you'. Of course we all know what that means. Turned off the TV, let the dogs out one last time, and went to bed for the lovin thing. Watched the news and went to sleep around 10:30 PM.
This morning I was up by 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the early morning reading the newspapers and doing my regular Friday downloads of the most recent films released. Thought I better post now since I am getting the nephew right after lunch. His mom should have him here at the house when I get back from lunch at 1:15 PM. Will then spend the day keeping him entertained as we watch kids shows. Figure grown up TV will have to be put on hold through Sunday. Disney and Nick channels will most likely be the popular choice all weekend. Will most likely make a pizza tonight for supper since I know the kid eats pizza. Hoping tomorrow to take Tony and the kid to the movie The Impossible. I have been waiting for this movie for a while and the trailers look so good. Figure it won't be too bad for a 9 year old to see? Heck, we have taken him to worse. Bad uncles. I remember when we took his brother to Snakes On A Plane when he was about 8 and as the movie went on we wondered if we should leave. Of course we didn't and the kid loved the movie. Bad uncles. Sunday we will most likely go have breakfast with Tony's mom so she can be with her grandson for a couple hours before we drop him off and have his brother's father meet their mother somewhere near the Wisconsin Illinois border to get her kids. I am looking forward to the weekend. He is such a good kid and loves being here. Never asks for anything and just happy to be away from his bratty brother and sister. By Sunday night we will need a good dose of grown up TV.

December 3, 2013 Thursday Afternoon
Spent last night watching the last episode of Homeland from Season 2 and then a couple shows on the DVR before we went to bed. The season of Homeland ended great, can't wait until the next season starts. Yes, the Cialis was still working and I made use of it. Went to bed shortly after the lovin.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his Insulin shot. Spent the morning on the Internet trying to get my last year of this blog in book form from Blogs2print. I have the past three years prior printed in a hard cover book for each year. Finally got it all inputted and ordered. Did a little cleaning around the house and took down the last of the Christmas decorations. Made a ham sandwich for lunch and took a short nap with the dogs. Couldn't sleep so I got up and started cleaning out dressers. Resorted and folded all the clothes in Tony's dresser drawer. It was a mess, things just thrown in it. Making a Hormel meat loaf and noodles for supper tonight with a salad. Was suppose to get the nephew today but that was put on hold until tomorrow. Will get him sometime tomorrow afternoon. Was in the 20s today and a little windy. Wanted to go for a walk but was just too cold with the wind. Will most likely watch last nights episode of American Horror Story and a couple other TV shows on the DVR tonight before we go to bed.

January 2, 2013 Wednesday Afternoon
My first post of 2013. Can not believe another year has come and gone.
New Years Eve Tony and I did something different. We went to a dinner theater and ate pizza while we watched the movie Les Miserables. I have seen the play many many times and it is my favorite. The movie was excellent. Was happy we saw it. We were back home and warm by 10 PM. Spent the rest of the night watching Anderson Cooper on CNN bring in the New Year. As the clock hit midnight, Tony and I kissed, then he looked at me and said 'can we go to bed now'.
Yesterday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the morning reading the newspaper. Tony went to McDonald's and got us some steak egg bagels for breakfast. Around 11 AM I started season two of Homeland. After an episode and Tony's shower I gave Tony a Cialis boner pill so we could have some fun in the afternoon. Watched a couple more episodes of Homeland and then I put on an 'adult video'. The video was 36 minutes long and I was surprised Tony was able to hold out until the end of the video. Had a fun 36 minutes. Jeez, is this what his 'unit' was like when he was younger. Guess I missed out. LOL. We both enjoyed his Cialis pill. Cleaned up and spent the rest of the night watching the rest of the season two of Homeland up to the last episode. Will watch the last episode tonight. Went to bed around 9:30 PM so I could make us of the Cialis pill one last time. Of course Tony was up for another round of lovin and the Cialis was still working good. When we were finished Tony looked at me and said 'thats all your get now'. Went to sleep shortly thereafter.
This morning I was up at 6:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Spent the early morning taking down the last of the Christmas decorations around the house. Hauled them all into the basement. Around 11 AM I drove to Pick N Save to deposit a check and then do a little grocery shopping. Didn't need much but wanted a few items for the nephew we are getting tomorrow until Sunday. I do love when Tony's nephew comes and stays for a few days. He loves his Uncle Dave and Tony. Took a nap this afternoon with the dogs figuring it would be the last for a while since I will have a kid here to entertain starting tomorrow afternoon. Making sweet and sour chicken and salad for supper tonight. Will most likely spend the night watching the last episode of Homeland before we forget what happened in the entire season. Sucks we have to wait now until Showtime brings the show back on the air to see more episodes. It was a good series and recommend finding the first two seasons and watching them. The twists and turns will keep you hooked. Will then most likely watch a movie and then go to bed, hoping the 24 Cialis still has a little fire in Tony tonight. They are suppose to last over 24 hours.

December 31, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Friday night we spent the night watching the movie Killer Joe. It was a good movie and worth seeing. A little violent and very dysfunctional. Went to bed around 10 PM.
Saturday morning we were up at 7:30 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Made eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast. Spent most of the morning just watching home improvement shows. Around 1 PM we went to take a nap with the dogs which of course led to the lovin thing prior to the nap. Got up around 3 PM when Tony's sister called on the phone. After we fed the dogs supper we went out for supper ourselves. Went to the old Palermo Villa restaurant that was always our favorite and the first place we had dinner together on our first date. The name has changed, and I can not even remember what it is now called, but the food was much the same. Ended up having a great meal of chicken parmigiana, egg plant strips and salad and bread. Came to $70 with tip, which is a little on the high end for me, I am so cheap. Came home and spent the night watching the movie The Dark Knight Rises. It was a good movie. Went to bed around 10:30 PM.
Sunday morning we were up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Made pancakes for breakfast with some bacon. Spent the morning watching TV. Took a little nap with the dogs which again turned into the lovin thing prior to napping. Spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening watching last season and this season of Happily Divorced. I do like the show and think it is very funny. Spent the night watching the movie Naked Boys Singing. Was actually better than I had thought. Yes, it is a movie where men sing the entire show, naked. Went to bed around 10 PM.
This morning I was up at 7 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Read the morning newspapers and went grocery shopping for some nachos and dip for tonight. Made a reservation at the Fox Point Theater for two tickets to see Les Miserables tonight at 6:50 PM. We decided to go out for a movie and dinner all in one, it is a dinner theater restaurant and bar, and then come home and watch Anderson Cooper ring in the New Year. I am looking forward to seeing the movie and have seen the play three times. So, a very laid back, low key New Years for us this year. We will hopefully be home safe and sound wrapped in a blanket as midnight hits.
Happy New Year to all my followers. May you have a healthy and happy 2013.

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

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

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

He went to get it at the shop on Monday but could not lift it by himself so he did not bring it home. Was thinking he would bring it home during the day today, so far he has not. I'm not sure how he will get it home tonight since he did not take the truck to work. He has not come out and said it is a generator, but enough hints to others and conversations lead me to believe it is. Hope he brings it home eventually, Christmas was yesterday. LOL

December 24, 2012 Monday Afternoon
Merry Christmas!
Saturday afternoon we met my family at a TGI Friday for lunch. Had a great lunch at the Miller Park Stadium restaurant. Came home and spent the night watching TV and the movie The Good Doctor. It was an OK movie.
Sunday morning we went out for brunch at the Hubbard Park Restaurant. Had a great brunch and talked with the staff as we ate. I love this restaurant and feel so at home and relaxed eating there. Spent the rest of the day napping and then started watching the show Homeland. Got through the first five episodes before we went to bed around 10:30 PM. I do like the show and can see where it is going and why everyone says it is so good. Will continue to watch and hopefully get through a couple episodes today or tomorrow.
Got up this morning at 7 AM. Tony drove to McDonald's around 9 AM to get us some breakfast. He is now at his shop picking up my Christmas present. Why he didn't bring it home on Friday I don't know why. After he gets home he will then have to go get the bread rolls I ordered for tonight at his brothers house. Going to Tony's brother's house tonight and then my family tomorrow in the afternoon. Looking forward to a nice nap this afternoon.
Merry Christmas everyone. Will write all about my Christmas tomorrow of Wednesday.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Since it was now about 11:30 AM and it was sunny and 40 degrees, I decided to go for my usual walk along the river trails. Bundled up good to stay warm and was actually too warm by the time I got close to home and had my jacket open. Took a two hour nap with the dogs so I would be refreshed for tonight. Honestly, I think it just made me tired, this coffee better kick in. Will have to feed the dogs a bit early tonight to get to the fundraiser by 5:30 PM. Noticed the DVR is recording a lot tonight, in fact at 9 PM, four shows will be recording. Will have to make sure I have the signal off or it will think a fifth show on the TV is being viewed and one of the four shows will not record. We can only record or watch a total of four shows at any one time with ATT. Got to get dressed in my suit for tonight's event. Should be fun and only cost us parking.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Of course he cried the entire way to the vet, in the vets office, and could hear him in the back as they trimmed his nails. He is such a baby. He needs to get out more. It has been foggy all day and in the 50s. Damp and not a nice day outside here in Milwaukee. Making sweet and sour chicken and rice for supper tonight with a salad. Will spend the night watching TV. I did download a bunch of movies yesterday and maybe I might put one on tonight if Tony isn't sleeping on the couch by 8 PM. We got the DVR pretty clear and soon the Christmas reruns will be playing so I don't mind keeping some shows on the DVR for later viewing. Days like this I could sleep all day. Of course now that the sun is setting and it is getting dark, the fog has cleared and looks like the sun could come out if there was more hours in the day.

December 1, 2012 World AIDS Day
What is World AIDS Day?
World AIDS Day is held on 1 December each year and is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day and the first one was held in 1988.Why is World AIDS Day important?
Around 100,000 are currently living with HIV in the UK and globally an estimated 34 million people have HIV. More than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007 have died from the virus, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in history.Today, many scientific advances have been made in HIV treatment, there are laws to protect people living with HIV and we understand so much more about the condition. But despite this, people do not know the facts about how to protect themselves and others from HIV, and stigma and discrimination remain a reality for many people living with HIV. World AIDS Day is important as it reminds the public and Government that HIV has not gone away – there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.
