Turn, Turn, Turn

This has been an interesting time. I've known a lot of people that are pregnant and having kids but I've also known a lot of people in bad health. Within 24 hours the Lions lost a great man, Lion Brad and my grandfather passed away. It's difficult to finally have both of them out of pain. They were both at stages where the only way for them to be better and no longer in pain was for them to pass. It's very rough watching my father lose is dad. I only heard this morning around 3am because he was on the phone outside my room. The house phone was ringing and work me up, for some reason, I heard my dad say that it was my grandmother but then I heard funeral and I knew. What makes things worse for my dad is that today is his birthday. My mom told me that when anyone mentions that it's his birthday he just cries, I can only imagine how difficult it is. I just needed to get that out and now I need to spend some time with my family. Much love to those above.

Grenade

It's the new year and a lot yet a little have happened. I lost my job at the casino and now I'm unemployed, yet again. Turns out my body disliked working third shift and favored sleeping during that time. (What's funny is that I'm seeing a guy that works third shift (11pm-7am) with Miller.) I'm still trying to get out of Milwaukee but it's more difficult since the boy is a rock and can't be moved with his job.

Let's back track to 2010 before I get too in depth with no background. In December I finally got to go to a Packer game at Lambeau!!! It was such a great experience except that I had to work the following night and ended up getting the flu. Here's where I would rant about the casino and how stupid they are but I'm over it and if anyone really cares I can fill them in later. So I ended up getting off of work for new years till they decided to "end their business relationship" with me. This was actually really good for me, I wanted to have a social life and hadn't because of my schedule at work. I got in touch with a friend in the Milwaukee area and we went out to the bars (my first time at the bars for New Years!!) The guy that I'm now seeing was my New Years kiss, oh he's not a random guy from the bar but a friend of my friend that I went out with. Long story short, I've been spending a lot of time with him lately and not so much time at home.

I did manage to make a trek to the UP for the Notre Dame series. We were swept at home but I was happy to be at the games. The puckheads were not at all friendly and I'm not all too sure why they're still holding a grudge against me, if that's what it is. I was very happy to see Lacee, Danis and Chelsea I'm waiting for them to visit me in mke. Lot's of drinking was done as per Yooper standards. Next trek up, hopefully, Michigan series. My goal is to talk the boy into coming with or at least borrowing his Jeep with snow tires.

On to what needs to get done. The Stratus isn't doing all too well. He might have a problem with his muffler or part of the exhaust system. This means I desperately need to find a job to afford a new vehicle. I hope that he survives through the winter. Also, my grandfather is at the hospital and we all thought he was going to pass but he's been so tough and pulled through another heart attack. He's been going up and down for 22 years, I think had he not been requesting to be kept alive no matter what he would've passed about 10 years ago. It's sad seeing him the way that he is but he manages to have the same horrible sense of humor that I unfortunately have as well.

On the list: find a job, get a new/used vehicle, get to alaska (maybe in April), learn how to drive a zamboni, get back to the UP for some more hockey
