I don't have much time so this will just be a compendium of ramblings. I have 2 minor surgeries scheduled and one
is for basal cell carcinoma. I've been fair-skinned all my life but subjected myself to over sun exposure until my mid-20's.
I guess is the first day of the reckoning. :) That's all cool.
It's Halloween and work is going okay. I've been told that as a contract worker, I won't be able to work during
the company holidays during the next 2 months. Just to get you up to speed; as a contractor, if I dont' work, I don't
get paid. They're talking about 12 days mostly around Christmas. That sucks because I don't get enough vacation
time from Kelly Services to make up for it all so I'm going to be having some lean checks for awhile. I even have to
take Election Day off!
Leaves have fallen and I wish I could afford to have someone cart them away. The city used to make two sweeps each
fall to pickup leaves dragged or blown to the curbside. This year they decided to do only 1 sweep and my street won't
be done until 12/4. My complaints to the city fell on deaf ears so I'll have to do a lot of leaf bagging over the next
several weeks. Did I mention I'll have some painful surgery done to me next week?
There's going to be an all-souls day celebration for my Dad this weekend. It's hard to beleive it has been almost
7 months since his passing.
I've sent out the invites to my annual UofM vs osu football party. If you haven't received yours yet, then you're
probably not invited. I'm just saying....
Since I last typed, I added wi-fi to my cable modem & attached my laptop to my tv. I've been sorta hooked on
watching old tv & movies through the computer since then. I don't need no stinkin' commercials. Did "Movie
Macabre" from 1982 KHJ-TV, channel 9 used to show topless shots or is this just the version that hulu shows? It's hard
to say because I only had a 13" tv back then so I may just have not noticed.
My part of Michigan is in prime fall color mode and it's beautifully warm (upper 60's), sunny day. This is truly
when Michigan rocks.
Time to get back to work and focus my energy on being allowed to leave early just because it's Friday and it's Halloween.
Peace. M
