Good Morning. Coffee is brewing, breakfast is settling in my stomach. Just fried up a simple egg on a leftover hamburger roll. The only thing I did differently is to put it under the broiler with some cheese, ahh was grand. The cheese was warm and melty, the egg took to it right away.
Second pot of coffee for me, didn't care too much for the first. The sun is peeking bright through the windows. And it is rather cold, a mere 28 degrees.
Due to 2 basic reasons I am extremely broke now. Had to purchase a new tire yesterday and got no overtime at work at all. I burned through the $50 I had for the Super bowl party tomorrow. Just the way it goes. Oh yes and my cold remains.
Unfortunately the economy is hitting me hard as well. Not that I thought it wouldn't. I'm not that naive. It's just that with the tire, I realized how close I am to being wiped out. I do not even have 1 paycheck in the bank. Not good.
This pot of coffee is much better. Perhaps I made the last one to strong.
There is plenty to keep me amused here at home. I've neglected a lot of cleaning. Well I'm running low on steam and theme. Sorry about that.

A very slight update
Just getting over a cold. This is the second day technically. Must've been Thursday, realized I was loosing my voice. Drank an entire boatload of lipton decaffinated tea. Was in full bloom on Friday. Lot's more tea. Rest. Work wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
I believe we've just passed the anniversary of my lost smoke shop in town here. Just thought I'd post it. It hit me hard and took me a long time to get used to it. And now of course I've the other shop. My usual weekend haunt, sometimes even during the week.
It is a relaxation thing. Some drink; I tend to smoke. And sometimes it's the company thing too. Speaking of which. Next Sunday is the Super bowl. I'm going to the event at the smoke shop, I even took the Monday after off. Why I'm not entirely sure but what the heck.
I've done nothing about the books or coin collecting ideas. Although I've run across a book I started a couple of years ago and misplaced. Wonder if that would count? Would it be cheating to start where I supposedly left off? Don't know.

January
It is by now 2009. Very exciting. Drinking my coffee, writing a blog for blog's sake. My shoulder has been hurting for a couple of days now. Not at all sure why. I'm hoping its a "travelling pain" and will go away. 5 dangerous words you know,
"maybe it will go away". But I"m going to risk it now.
My drug company has let me know that 1 of my heart medications is no longer covered. Rather nice of them no? Not worried, I'm sure the shitty generic will do for me.
I proposed 2 ideas for myself for the new year. Not resolutions, I don't do resolutions. Just 2 ideas I'd like to do.
The first one is this. See the New York Times list online. Pick one book from fiction and 1 book from non-fiction and read them. Figured 2 books a month isn't a bad idea. I mean after all, not much on television. I was a fan of reality shows when they first came out.
The concept was so new and so fresh. It had not been done in ages. I remember I'd gone back to school, and would race home. School was 20 miles from where I lived. It was after all the very first season of Survivor.
Reality shows now litter the landscape of television like so much new year eve confetti. So many of them, so much garbage. Showing not real life. Rather showing how low some will sink for a piece of fame. Unwatchable pablum. But I digress. Tend to do that you know.
Anyway, my idea for the books was to get them from the library. Problem there is this, apparently I owe them money. I vaguely have been aware of it. Think it's from an over due book on cd. But I hope to resolve this, this very weekend. Thought I may even start another blog on the discussion of the books. A truly bizarre online book club huh?
The second idea is one that even I cannot comprehend. Coin collecting. You see I do seem to have a few coins around. Seems I might be able to learn from it and it might be free.
The problem is in the people I have encountered thus far. Very quirky, angry coin store owners. Both who did not want to be bothered. Both who did not give me any information or starting place. The last one told me to do some research and then we'd talk. Well if I do the research, I probably won't need him.
So these are my 2 hobbies ideas thus far. I've done no research. I've not read the New York Times book list. And not settled with the library. Stay tuned?
