this, that and some other thing.

things slip past me sometimes. i don't notice - and not because i don't care, i just don't notice - and i'd like to think i'm a guy who pays attention, but, not always. it's worse when i'm working. i have so much on my plate at work that i often forget the everyday things i should do. phone calls to people about dinners that i was suppose to go to, cheques that should have been sent to pay fines, overdue bills and taxes. at work if that shit doesn't get done, it's shitty, in my personal life it amounts to late fees and missed dinners. still shitty but not as threatening as losing my job. i'm trying to be better and have been paying more attention to these things. actually had, more by accident than anything, dinner with 'he who can not be named' the other night at topanga with shauna and corie, pure fluke but nice. i admit to being distracted by my personal life as well (a good thing doing the distracting). trying to fit it - my personal life as a whole - in along with my long hours at work thus my hours of sleep have been cut back due to staying up late and hoping the alarm clock actually wakes me up when it goes off in the morning. there have been some close calls but with the aid of jj bean in the morning i've managed to make it on time, coffee in hand. sometimes a muffin too. usually not. i've lost the focus of this entry but i don't care to right it on the rails any more than i do cutting a lawn in the pouring rain so fuck it.
another week on the major motion picture sensation that will be is over and no one got killed or injured so it this has to be viewed as a success. corie seems to have contracted some sort of cold/flu thing that will, maybe, keep him at home for at least tonight and maybe longer. there has been a lot of smoke action in the shop - testing of this and that and he work above it so he gets to breath in its sweet smell alot of the day. as do i but not as directly. i think he's been having a few late nights as well and maybe needs a nudge in the morning to get him going.
i'm meeting up woth floyd tomorrow morning at troll's in west vancouver, more specifically horseshoe bay, where we'll discuss the finer points of getting ready for my retirement. maybe be a short talk. i'll be cutting the dog lawn as well this weekend and, i think, attending a few bbq's and store birthday thingys....i can't be too sure.
more details later.

i have to do some laundry.
