Bad luck all around

Friday, July 31st, 2009

I’m not the only one with bad luck. Well, I guess I don’t believe in luck, per se, but I still use the phrase. Hey, I’m part Irish so I have to “believe” in it just a wee lil’ bit. I know I’m just being silly.

I’ll get to the luck thing in a minute. Let me start off by saying that I haven’t had chest pains since whenever I posted about it last (not counting the other day but it was a different pain and not stress related I don’t think. Maybe indigestion?? I don’t know.) I also haven’t cried since… maybe Sunday but Saturday for sure. That’s a good thing of sorts. I’m a guy and naturally I don’t care to cry even in private. It’s most definitely a pride thing and I think most people in general - man or woman - would agree. I feel good in some respects like I’m not down but then how could I not be? It’ll be back I’m sure but I’m enjoying the serenity of the moment for now. Oh, I miss her every fucking second of every fucking day. I lament as to why I can’t be with her now. Blah, blah, blah, whine, whine, whine. Yeah, tell me about it as if I don’t fucking know already. But as this is my blog I’ll do whatever the hell I want. ;-) The point of it is for me so hush!

Work was short yesterday. I had my share of problems and I was busy the whole night. It sucked because I planned on taking a huge break and leaving early. That so didn’t happen. I didn’t get the last break (not that I was supposed to) nor could I sneak out early. It was just one person after another. One lady had scanned so many pictures in by the time I got there and the machine reset randomly so she lost the whole order. I laughed because I couldn’t help it. The lady was very good natured about it and was laughing too so it’s not like I’m just a jackass. (HUSH! :-D) She rescanned 80 of them and submitted them except she did it wrong and only got 1 print. At that point in the night I’m closing down and I surely laughed again. Poor woman, now THAT is the bad luck I’m referring too. I have my own set of “bad luck” but I guess I just spread that pain around. :-S We laughed about it and that was the highlight of my night, but I use the word “highlight” carefully here because I don’t want to see someone’s time wasted so absurdly like that.

After work I went to eat at a bar type place. Their menu reflected bar pricing on drinks and food which is to say it’s crazy expensive. The sandwich was $10 and alright but surely not worth that much. The beer was Guinness which is always delicious. I had a Young’s Double Chocolate Stout which was positively horrible. To me it tried imitating an Irish Car Bomb but fails and leaves me with a bad aftertaste, almost like the Jameson whiskey. That could be good or bad depending on how you like that. I’m not opposed to whiskey flavor but something wasn’t right here. I also had a “Black Barrel” as they called it. It’s a Black and Tan, the tan portion being “Kentucky Bourbon Ale.” If you’ve never had that, that shit is stout. I guess they let the ale finish fermenting in used whiskey barrels which adds flavor and alcohol to it (I think.) That was an interesting drink. All that shit cost me way too much but I was just trying to give my self a night off to have fun. It was though it made me miss my Ms. Sexy X even moreso.

Randomness

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Today was certainly a better day. I made sure to keep a positive attitude. I woke up and opened my window to let in the sun and air. It’s weird because it’s been cool here for the past few days and it feels like fall. I’m not complaining, that’s for sure. So the first thing I do is put on some shorts and a t-shirt and go on the deck and sit on the chair and just bask in the sun and stare off into the west. I took the time to finish a book I was reading called Shooter. It’s about a sniper in the OIF war, Jack Coughlin I believe. It was a pretty good book. I didn’t like the ending, it’s sad how his wife left him. I don’t know the situation but I could feel for him. I’m guessing he just couldn’t switch off though until it was too late.

Anyhow, I finished off the book and just sat outside taking it in. I always have one thought on my mind and that’s of my Ms. Sexy X. I’m sad that I’m not with her but I was happy just because I’m so lucky to have her. She’s my everything. I cleaned up and went to work. No chest pains kicking in yet… just a slight feeling.

At work I bullshitted around for a few hours. I don’t even remember really. I got pissed at one customer who walked around me to look at something and then backed up into me (ever so lightly) and turned around without looking at me and says “excuse you.” Now I said “excuse me” just being polite even though I had been standing there. She said it almost as if she meant to say “excuse me” but I clearly heard “you.” I was instantly pissed. What the hell? I told my coworker to follow me because I’m pissed and am liable to get angrier if that woman was going to say something more but she didn’t and I didn’t give her the chance.

I was trying to loosen something up with a rubber mallet and slipped and ended up smashing my index finger. It hurt for a second but wasn’t too bad. It didn’t take long to realize I broke some blood vessels so now it’s a tad sensitive. Damn.

A bit before lunch I could feel the chest pain creeping back. It wasn’t as bad as yesterday but I could feel the “pressure” building. I just kept breathing and thinking happy thoughts and refused to pop an aspirin. That seemed to have worked. It’s been dull the rest of the day. It’s all in my mind, there’s no doubt about that. I can’t let the stress get to me, that’s not healthy. I did get pissy for one second when the phone rang and I was in the middle of a daydream about my darling. Who would dare interfere, right? Haha! Whatever.

I finally got home and cracked a brew and sat on the back deck. The sun was all but set but I still enjoyed it. I like the Dos Equis Amber, it’s pretty tasty. It’s not my favorite beer but I was in the mood for it when I got it and right then. My favorite beer? You’ll find out later. I’ll make a post just on that, I know for sure.

My supper consisted of a large apple and a bagel. It’s healthy and I’m not that hungry.

Tonight I’m just going to watch a movie or something. I’ll relax and go to sleep thinking of her. It’d almost be a perfect day, if only I had her.
