The Merlydude

Sonia is heading home for the weekend so I am staying and watching the pup.  He just had a nice poop and now apparently it is time for a nap and I'm headed to work in the next 5 minutes so I better go get a beverage with caffeine in it.

Its an Infiltration

Menard's apparently has usurped my unconscious mind.  When I fall asleep, I want to have dreams of things like:
  • fantastic creatures 
  • fighting robots 
  • epic adventures 
  • pretty girls
  • entertaining stories
  • odd ball things that could never really happen
  • monkeys and hippos having microwaved hot pockets and watching mythbusters on a couch from the 1970s  
Last night that was not the case... I dreamt I was at work.  Now that wouldn't be so bad if any of the above list were involved in me being there, but that was simply not the case.  Instead I was dreaming that I was actually working, just doing my work, WTF!

Sonia wanted nothing to do with my banana

















Sonia and Matty on the in-bound Metra.












Not thrilled even about the remnants of my banana.
















We went to Max's Take Out... and ate in.












What remained of my food at the time.

Chicago at night

Her hat seemed far to squishy to be in the area... so we left.
















Hey is the the Trump???

SIGH.....

Work soon, not looking forward to it.  When will I find a job that i look forward to doing daily, even just a little bit.  That would be so nice.  I don't know what the next step is going to be but I hope its a step in the right direction this time.  I feel sometimes like I'm wandering in an aimless circle just waiting for myself to sumble upon it instead of figuring out what i want (which I cant seem to get a grasp on)  and going to it.  I'll figure it out eventually.

First Time in a Long Time

No Biscuit Junk yesterday.  :( I just wasnt feeling up for it.  But today is another story.  I woke up feeling iffy but I took some pain killers and for the first time in a long time i am feeling great. 

I was feeling so good that, for the first time in a long time, I made myself breakfast.  And its actually healthy!!!  No buttery diner eggs, no oil filled pancakes, just egg whites and toasted pita, just like Grandpa Moden makes.


I later, after the picture was taken, added a glass of my roommates milk!!!

Free Milk = Good Milk

Today is going to be a good day.

New Beginings

As winter tries to take its hold on the city of Chicago, I am progressing through a self proclaimed Spring.  Its  time of renewal and rejuvenation.  I recently finished up my tenure on the night shift at CVS as a manager.  It was a challenging ordeal , but I must be thankful.  Changing my sleep schedule, losing touch with humanity, and accruing many 24+ hour days/night, were just some of the things that I had to endure.  But I must be grateful for the experience, after all, isn't life just the sum of our experiences.  To have done this is to say that I have one more event in my life from which to draw wisdom and strength.  

I deservingly gave myself a delightful eleven day vacation before starting my new job.  I plan to use this time to (a) return to a normal sleep schedule and (b) try to get in touch with what I am doing where I am going and what my plans are for the next chapter in my life.  I am hoping to keep this space as authors notes, if you will.  Oh yeah, and (c) to take an awesome vacation with the love of my life to Florida to see my grandparents.

CAN'T WAIT!!

Just as a fill in, I will be starting a management training program for Menard's (Save Big Money) on November 22.  If anyone reading would pray a prayer for my success in this program.  It is a fast track to the top, so long as I do well.  All thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated.

During this "spring time" in my life, i expect good and beautiful things.

We'll see.
