Well, quite an exciting day for Mom and Rob. Apparently Al Pacino and Robert Dinero are filming a movie in Richmond Hill NY this summer and are interested in using Mom's house in the movie. The director and others are coming by the house tomorrow to do a walk through to see if it will work in their film. I thought Rob was pulling my leg at first but when I talked to Adel I was convinced. A studio representative came by the house today to set up an appt. to walk through the house and take some photos tomorrow. The studio called Robert a few times today to make arrangements. It would be great if it worked out but even if it doesn't it is still quite exciting, especially for Mom and Rob. Well we'll see what happens and I will continue to update.
As for my day. It was just another day at work. Went in at 6am and took care of business. They wanted to do a bunch of computer security test on my data collection system which involved shutting it down for a few hours so I took off at 10:30. Went home to relax and do a few chores. Decided not to go back into the office and worked from home for about 1 1/2 hours over the course of the afternoon. Did some bookkeeping and other misc. paperwork then some home PC maintenance. Watched a little TV and did some laundry etc. I watched a little cspan regarding the proposed energy bill. It's hard to stomach watching our elected officials waste so much time on rhetoric and getting nothing accomplished. We really need to clean house in DC. Across the board, Dems and Republicans, doesn't matter what label they wear let's clean house. Can't be any worse than what is being done by the incumbents. The current regime is not interested in the welfare of the common American and never will be. We have to eliminate the professional politician! But it will never happen in my lifetime. The American people lack the motivation to actually do anything. We have become a lazy populace and until the impacts to the common man are sufficient to motivate them to action nothing will change. Wake up America they are picking our pockets and selling us out right before our eyes! Well I'm getting to heavy, on with my day.
Made a hamburger with steamed broccoli and cauliflower with homemade cheese sauce for dinner. Mmmmm goood!
Did a 3 way call with Maggie and Rob so Rob could tell her the Hollywood saga as Maggie thought I was pulling her leg. We all spoke for about 20 minutes and Maggie was finally convinced. Larry as usual was typically cynical (god bless him he is so steady). Emily was yelling in the background about the computer not working so we said our goodbyes and the east coasters were off to bed. I'm watching TV and blogging.
I need to call the Barone's about the weekend but will wait till tomorrow to see how work goes. I have an eye appt. Friday at 2 and Glen's retirement party is Friday night and I really should attend. If I go to Chewelah it will be Saturday morning and only if I can take Monday off. Wait and see. I really need to make the trip. I miss them and haven't seen them since last December. Gas is down 15 cents a gallon since Memorial Day so it won't cost as much but I am really broke and would have to charge everything as payday isn't till next Tuesday.
My doctor gave me some sleep aid samples yesterday. I tried Lunestar last night and it helped but I still woke up allot, but did fall back to sleep easier. I am going to try the Ambien tonight to see if it is any better. It would be nice to sleep more than 2 hours at a clip. I can't remember the last time I slept for 6 hours straight, let alone eight. I have to keep my bedroom window closed as the birds wake me up at 4:30 in the morning. It gets light too early. That's why I hate daylight savings time.
Still haven't heard from Dave. I guess I will have to call him eventually. Robert hasn't told him about Fire Island dates yet and I am leaving it up to him if he tells Dave or not. Last year was quite the disaster when they came and I don't want a re-run of that. Well I'm gonna take a break and have some desert. Maybe more later.
peace!
