Nothing going on
Sigh..Another Sunday evening...It so sucks that Monday has to follow. Tomorrow will be really slow. None of our workers are going to show up. Some kinda protest by Mexican workers against the immigration policies, tomorrow they aren't supposed to go to any stores or buy any American made goods (yah, like that gonna be hard to do!) or buy gas and if they have to go to work they are supposed to wear white T-shirts to show their solidarity.
So the boss gave them the day off, told any of them if they want to work they can, but that if they aren't they are excused. Nobody but us chickens gonna show up. That means a grand total of 9 people will be there.
I've been fighting with my hot water heater for a couple of weeks now. I think as of today I have officially won the battle. I had Edison out twice to replace the boxes on outside of the house. They had some fried wires. Then I had to buy a multi-meter and figured out that the bottom element needed to be replaced. Then the water kept getting too hot. I turned the temp down on both gizmoes and it was still almost boiling and kept kicking the cut off switch off. Checked the controllers and the top one showed it was bad so I replaced that on Saturday. Still too hot and cutting off. I checked the bottom switch, but it showed as being OK, but I got a new switch anyway (that was the only thing left that I could fix on my own)and replaced that this morning. FINALLY! The water is not scalding, just hot. Score: Me 1, water heater 0.
Must have had some major electrical event within the last few months, cause I just replaced all that crap in December or Jan. Ah well, everyone needs a hobby...
I as invited to go out Saturday night (with the girls). I punked out and didn't go. The thought of going to the Eagles club was just too depressing. I'm not dissing the Eagles, just me and the bar scene. Going to the bar and people watching is depressing for me. Most of the people that go there are older, which is OK. I would really feel strange hanging out with a bunch of kids (I would probably have more fun tho...)but it isn't what I want to do with my free time. I don't drink a lot (hell it doesn't take much anyway)and a few of "the girls" get all carried away and hang all over each other and one even gets beligerent and strange. I got all that silly stuff out of my system when I was in my 20's. I've got a bad back, I don't want drunk people draping themselves all over me, I don't want them to yank me around on the dance floor, but I've not said anything to them about it because I don't want them to think I'm being bitchy. It seems a bit prissy to tell people "OK, if you wanna hang out with me don't touch me" - that is what I think people would get from it.... and I just found out I will probably have to wait till the end of summer before I can get my health insurance and the chiropractor ain't free. I havn't gone in a couple of weeks because I've been waiting for my insurance to come through and my back hurts.
Wahhh, I sound like such a baby. I know the bar scene isn't what I consider "fun". I just need to find some kinda activity in our podunk town that would be fun. There is a Sierra club that takes nature walks on Sundays. That might be interesting to try out. I got some information on it Saturday.
I am not sure if I'm up to the excitement of Bingo. (LOL)But there are quite a few place that have Bingo games around here.
I've been sitting here trying to come up with a list of activities that go on in our area. I've been think for a few minutes now... I haven't got to the first item yet... That is if I don't count the above 2 things...

OK, this is really depressing....
Watch the traffic lights change.
Watch neighbors mow, rake, trim shrubs.
We have a roller rink, bowling ally and and ice skating place, but I can't do them because of my back.
I could hang out at the tatoo place and watch the guys ink the customers.
OK, that settles it, I soooo have to move to a town with more going on.
