Dregs of the coffee here with me. Folgers in case anyone ever wonders. Buy it from price club. 2 of them large containers always on had. I buy in bulk when it makes sense. Since I enjoy oatmeal, I buy in bulk there. 2 Folgers cans hold 1 bag nice and fresh. Last 3 months, that's 1 bowl a day 5 days a week. What? Gotta live on the weekends. Hell for the price of the supermarket store I pass it in 2 boxes and lasts I think just under 3 weeks.
It's been miserable here for a few reasons. But at least I had that vacation to look back on. Not much to say. Tonight want to hit on that Heart Surgery Blog some more. Keep thinking of the little things I miss. Oh well.
Grabbing a bagel for breakfast today. No clue on lunch at all. But at least I've my coffee. Long pause here, not that you'd have noticed. been reading a lot of blogs lately as well, not a lot but a few. Actually current ones too. I do miss the other site, the one with Rachel's blog. Still fires my imagination. Now I can remember only the bare bones of it. Oh well.
Have not a stitch of a plan for this weekend. Let's see what happens.

Saturday
Good Morning. Had my coffee. Even another morning smoke and soaked the soles of my feet with the sweet dew of the grass. Delightfull. Today shall bring what it wants. We are having a heat wave.
Coming up on the anniverssary of my discharge from the hospital of my heart surgery. Could not have imagined myself doing this at all. Other than that all is well this morning. 2 cups of coffee, now must plan day.
Tomorrow, Sunday, shall reusme normal habits. Food shopping bright and early. Oh and just a note, dang game is not patching at all this morning, crap happens. Oh and spell check does not seem to be working here at all.

Bump.
So much for the good feelings. Sister fears she may be losing her job. She's been off for a year with this cancer battle. That has been won. However, the job. Seems to be a wrench as to when she can go back. Legally they only have to hold her position for 1 year. When she called, she works for the town, boss said it had to go before the town board which meets a good 8 days after her year is up. She had no luck with personell. She will call back tomorrow.
Also explained our money plight to them both. How I had to use up my money to pay this months house bills. Plus a little of this Friday's check. After that I'm tapped out. Brother in law needs to speak to his family. Oh the drama, oh the drama. Trust fund, no more need to be said. We are sinking and yet I am calm.
He's asleep, she'll be up all night worrying. And somehow, I'm fine. It is an uncanny thing really. I cannot really describe it to you. And this 4 day marathon of being home....ugh. Not looking overly forward to it, yet not dreading it.
Finally admitting to myself, that life is a bit sweeter, I'm taking little joys more than usual. Even the ability to walk. Maybe that is where it comes from I don't know. I've always been unflappable. One day at a time.
Spent some time trying to connect with some people too. To no avail. Luckily I have myself. I wonder if I'll ever tire of my own company. I hope not.

Monday and Tuesday morning coffee
Not sure what it is. Can't believe it's just because I've off on Thursday and Friday. Can't be. Only because they'll be home too! However, really psyched for it, had a good day yesterday.
Dealt with Monday bullshit from people yesterday hating on poor Monday. May I never join their crowd. Work was all right, went smoothly enough. Co-worker was in an off mood, and I just didn't even care. Hell even lied to my face, does twitter make you lie?
Had a nice Rocky Patel Edge last night on the way home. Made some turkey breast, baked taters, and some frozen french cut string beans. Unfortunately didn't sit well with sis. Still suffering side effects from radiation. One being that veggies giver her......colon....a bad time. Enough there.
Even watched Hell's Kitchen with her and bro in law too. Not to shabby.
Set for today, berries rinsed off for my oatmeal. Managed to pay house bills with an additional $200+ from me. Oh yeah, that's why I took off, little 2 day weekend plans have now busted.
And yet I'm still in a good mood. Must make plans for my 4 day weekend.

Monday
Happy Monday. Coffee in mug, gray skies with promise of rain, but, Happy Monday. Weekend was alright. Saturday took a very grand walk. Grand? Grand because I could do it. I've denied it long enough, the heart surgery has finally changed part of me.
Although I've never been one to take the little things for granted, I'm even more gratefully. Also I forgot simply how much I love just walking. Altogether on Saturday, not at once, but all together definitely a couple of miles.
Morning was, well I discussed that prior post. Remember having an egg. Saw that no money was being deposited into house checking account. This is something that will have to be dealt with.
Unsure I set out for a grand adventure on Saturday, without any idea or money. Cashed some coins in. Walked. Bought some Honest Tea, I like that stuff. In fact I need to buy some this very week. Had lunch at this little cafe near me. Healthy place that I like. Have curious things and all good. Think I had some kind of portobello and I forget what else burger.
Told the young lady to just make me something that she would eat. If I can get away with that at a place, and it's good, never a problem. Whole wheat roll, lettuce, avocado slices, burger thing of course, and fresh salsa, awesome. It was however pricier than I would have liked.
I don't care what the time says about posting but it is catching up with me here. Must marinate some stuff, breakfast, prepare my lunch, oh yes, and it isn't show up to work in your bathrobe day. Not yet at least!

Saturday again?
morning. no shift key today, let's all just deal with it. woke up feeling out of sorts. cup of coffee, back to bed. then decided, after a heat wave of course, a nice hot shower was in order. delightfull thing about saturday showers.
So few people are watering there lawns when showering you remember what water pressure feelis like. taking my time. there's plenty of hot water. no need to fuss about the hair.
been trying to post pretty regularly on the heart blog, doing okay. still in shock how much is still stored by my few remaining gray cells
was a rough work week for my standards. just a year out of heart surgery and worked a solid 45 hour week. that doesn't count the 5 hours came in early but didn't charge for mind you. not bragging, because, not everyone has a job right now, and yes have had many 80-90 hour weeks in my past.
just think it was a feat for someone like myself that's all. having second cup of coffee in my bathrobe. am now very glad that next thursday and friday or days off. think they are needed.
okay that's about it. coffee is getting a tad cool, may have to microwave it. and cannot hide in this room all day. oh and breakfast, yes must get some of that stuff too.
