Da-Dum-Dum

Well...

I got a lot on my plate coming up.

Forti's wedding next week, hopefully some stuff with church, Nick's bachelor party and wedding, going to meet up with Crago and Todd some time in July, going to hang out with my cousin James one of these days, and I might even try to squeeze in a vacation somewhere in there. I would like to spend a little more time with the kids too.

So things are sort of good.

Saturday was Forti's bachelor party and it kicked ass, it was really good to hang out with some of those guys too. Sunday was nice, I spent a bit of non-work time with my father for Father's Day and hung out with my little sister for her first 12th birthday...I say first because she is staying 12 forever, or so I have decided. I only spent a little time in the office over the weekend, which was really nice too.

So things have been good, and there are good things coming up.

I've also made a few decisions. I'm probably going to get a new car soon. Going to try and sit down and write a little bit more. Realized I need to spend more time, and less money, in strip clubs. Enter the go-go bar concept and a summer full of possibilities. Going to head down to AC for a bit over the summer and get some gambling in, something I haven't done in a really long time. Going to find something good to read, because it's taking me entirely too long to get through the shitty little book I' m reading now.

And business is, well, business is good.

How strange is that?

We're making good money, and a lot of that lately has to do with me getting better and better at what I do.

I'm making more money...which is nice too, seeing as I have to get money from somewhere to pay for the aforementioned go-go dancers.

I like coming to work more without Tim in the office, and I like seeing Tim more when I don't have to see him in the office. And he seems like he's doing well...so this is looking like a good move all around.

Things are getting better before they get worse, which is nice because they used to get worse before they got, uh...worse-er?

I can sort of all live with that.

But it's not all good.

One of my dogs died today. Stray sort of just wandered into our parking lot one day many years ago and decided that he liked it, so he would stay. And stay he did. He was never much of a guard dog, but he was a good dog anyway. I'll miss him.

I'm busy. Ridiculously busy. There's just a lot going on right now, and the old man makes things a little more difficult. Tim being gone may have made things easier in general on me, but it also means there's a little more for me to do. Even if Tim did half of what he had to, and less than half of what I asked him to do, he did something. And now I have to do that too. It's the season switch which means everybody wants something...and I'm the one they're asking for it.

I can't get my damn lawn mowed. I had a guy in to look at it last week and they swore they'd be in last week and here we are Tuesday with nary a blade of grass mowed, and another warning from the town about shoving a fine up my ass. Because I need one more problem right?

As great as Saturday was, Friday sucked. Besides being one of those long awful horrible days we all tend to have every now and then, I offended someone I care a lot about...simply by being me. I'm harsh, I know, so does everybody else. I like to break balls, I know, so does everybody else. I kid because I care...and because I'm an asshole, I know, and so does everybody else. So when you offend someone simply by being you (even if you're me) it doesn't bode well for, well, everything.

So what's next?

Ha...

We will see.
