Bi-monthly entry
I'm being HORRIBLE about posting lately.. I appolgise to all three of you.
Well, Ryther and I made it to our 25 year anniversary. I had images of doign somethign fun for Halloween like getting the grill going and serving real food to people who came by.. and in the end I didn't do anything special. Barely got any decorations out. Which was appropriate since we only got about 38 kids, as apposed to the 100 we used to get. I know part of it was that it was a weekend, and people go to parties instead, and maybe because someone 2 streets over was doing some kind of block party or something... but I think maybe it's also a lack of kids of treating age in our neighborhood now. The bulk of them have grown up. Its kind of sad.. for me at least. It may be time to prune the dead people in the cellar. Setting up and taking down just isnt the fun it used to be.
I'm workign on a new painting.. I started it a month ago.. but I was not happy with the way it was looking to day so I started it again on a different size canvas. We'll see.
We also went to the MFA last weekend? to see the Dutch painters exhibit. It was really phenominal. I wasnt really thinking it was going to be that great, but it was. The material on a few of the women's dresses looked SO REAL! and the black clothes were so black, so real. Just blew me away.
I'm battling weight gain.. though I'm not doing a great job of it. Why is food so good? Ug. But at least I've felt good lately, no weird pains or anyting in the last month at least. Yay....
My step father got a new knee Monday.. second one.. See if this one works out. Hes been misserable for about a year now. I dont know what they will do if this doesnt work.
The leaves are mostly down. Oaks are hanging on a bit, but the wind and rain today and tomorrow should pull down some more. It's been dry, and we've been grinding up leaves as much as we can. They can get blown later.. I just want them made tiny. Waiting for the winter moths to descend.
My truck stalled out yesterday. It re-started, but kept stalling. I had it towed to the mechanic. I predict he will find it works fine, cant replicate the issue, and off it goes. Its always the way. I'm not sure if he was working today or not. I didn't get a call.. so maybe not.
The boy finally called last weekend. He had a fun Halloween.. things are going well mostly. He did get the job, but he has no idea what he's doign and his boss hasnt been in to tell him or advise him... and he's not sure if he's going to be paid because the state's site is down, or isn't workign on the browser he's using.... see if he listens to his father who told him to try another browser.. what does he know .... His only dissapointment is that he doesnt have a girlfriend. He says all the girls up there are either gay or bi-sexual. Me being me I said well, at least if they are bi, you have a chance.... He of course didn't think it was funny. I should have had a girl.
Well, thats it for this moment. Have to go do supper.
