Hearing Aid

I have always had trouble hearing. I finally did something about it and got hearing aids. It's weird to hear things again. I've already noticed I don't have to listen to the TV as loud as usual.

I have to get used to them. It's nice to be part of the hearing world again.

Cosas

Nothing much going on. I went to the Book Cellar yesterday. I gave myself a project. The Spanish section is a mess and I started to organize it.

Talked to Leticia last night. Haven't talked to her in some while. Haven't seen her in two years but she's still a friend and part of my support system. We might do lunch sometime this week. We shall see. I did pick on her about this.

Eddie's back. He got home last Sunday and he's been ignoring me for some reason. I did see him at Victoria's last Monday. He's a queer duck. His place is a pig sty and he's supposed to have it inspected by SAHA tomorrow. I should tell management to inspect his apartment as well. I really have debated saying something. He did snitch on me a while back. Karma...

Reading

I walked into the library the other day and I looked over at the books they have out. This cover caught my attention for obvious reasons. I read the jacket and checked it out. The story of a gay man who goes to NYC for work and sees the man of his dreams. Does this make me shallow? Don't answer that.

The point is I'm reading again. I just saw a film about French writer George Sand and now I want to read her stuff as well as her lover Alfred de Musset. My mind is expanding again.

UPDATE: Just finished the book and it was great. Not a Pulitzer Prize winner. I really enjoyed the characters and plotline. It is sad to say good-bye to these fabulous characters.

Centromed

Went to do labs the other day. I also visited with Jeanne. She was happy to hear I'm eating three meals if I'm hungry or not. I do forget to eat sometimes. I just eat because of the meds.

I also saw Lisa. I'm still deciding on her. I don't like the fact that she answers the phone when I'm in therapy. I'm still dealing with the adoption thing. I just can't get it out of my mind.

Now I wonder why I was given up and who she is. I do have to thank my birth parents for the good health I've enjoyed. I don't have diabetes or cancer. The only bad thing I have is AIDS. I still don't know how I was lucky to get that. I call it my Michigan souvenir.

Eddie

Eddie's back in the hospital again with pneumonia, again. He was hospitalized in November and December. Some people just never learn. And he's always getting on my case about taking care of myself.

Victoria thinks that a lot has to do with his cat Precious. She does shed a lot and has a lot of dander. He doesn't keep her litter box clean and we think that adds to his health problems. And you can smell the stench as soon as you get out of the elevator.

But he won't listen to anyone when it comes to Precious. What a faggot name. I suggested an intervention to Victoria but she says it wouldn't do much. What to do with Eddie?

Olympics

I'm watching the Olympics and enjoying the hot men with the hot scnozzes. Okay I do like the events. I'm looking forward to the men's figure skating and the ice dancing. There are other events that catch my attention.

I'm dealing with a bout of bronchitis at the moment. It's not fun. I'm on antibiotics and drinking lots of fluids. I know how to take care of myself contrary to what other people think.

Eddie's making a big deal about this. He diagnosed me and he's loving the attention. We were supposed to go to lunch with Victoria and Natalie and he refused to take me. He did bring me lunch though. I would have preferred to go and enjoy the company.

Nothing much going on. Just recuperating. I need more chicken soup. That's the fun thing about being sick.

Super Bowl

Hard to believe, but I actually watched the Super Bowl. Eddie invited his fat ass over. I slow cooked some ribs with a rub suggested by Mike. Then I roasted some potatoes with rosemary. The house smelled succulent. Eddie was very impressed and said it  was restaurant quality.

The game itself was exciting. I made the comment that Denver should give up after the first quarter. They did poorly. Of course everyone watches for the commercials. We didn't see any worthy ones in the first half. They were better in the second half and we decided that there were three memorable ones.

Bruno Mars was the halftime entertainment and he did put on quite a show. The Red Hot Chile Peppers were also good. We were impressed with the national anthem. It was sung by a soprano opera singer and she hit all the notes perfectly.

Little know fact, the national anthem is the music to a British drinking song! Eddie said that was appropriate for the country. LOL. We thought America The Beautiful was better when Queen Latifa sang it. I think that should be our national anthem hands down.

Volunteering

I just can't get it out of my system. My major career was in libraries, first as a student assistant and then moving on to circulation supervisor. In Michigan, I was in the order unit eventually winding up as a supervisor.

Well, I started volunteering at the public library. They have a book store in the basement and I was shelving to my hearts content. Somebody did ask me for help and I found what he was looking for. Something you never forget.

I did find some duplicates and showed them to the manager. She only wants one copy of the items on the shelves. I also labeled some books without call numbers. I had a blast. I'm looking forward to my next day.

I was exhausted afterward. Duh, I haven't done any work in over 9 years. I came home and took some Tylenol and laid down for a bit. Next time I'll take some before I go and wear my knee brace. I did leave with a limp. I love to push myself.

Breakfast

Went to Jim's for breakfast. We like it there because the food is safe and tasty. We had a cute new waiter and I think he's a friend of Dorothy's as well. I did find out that I can order off the senior plate! Mike just laughed.

I like to make up stories about people. So we're sitting there and two cute guys walked in. So I started by saying they were having after sex breakfast. And then Mike jumped in and said they met last night at the bars. And then we embellished some more.

I did give him a piece of my mind. He's working Sunday so he only had Saturday off. Like I said, people don't listen to me.

Went to HEB afterwards. I'm slow cooking some ribs and wanted a rub and some olive oil to marinate. I'm also making some potatoes with rosemary for added flavor. Yup, Eddie's coming over. Not rooting for Broncos or Seahawks, I'm a Steelers fan.

Mike Update

Mike got out of the hospital last Friday. Tony kept me up to date on him. He really stepped up to the plate.

Mike is already back at work! He does sit on his fat ass all day, but I still worry about him. He's already complaining that he's tired. Duh! But does he listen to me? Nobody listens to me. Don't know why people ask for my opinion.

We are having breakfast this morning and I'm giving him a piece of my mind. Not that I have much left.
