Dinner alone.

Other than not having company when I thought I would have company for a meal, I am rather fine with it.  I noticed my money is a wee shy this month, my nest egg is ever so just on the edge, so... there was that.  I am a little disappointed.  If she didn't want to go, she could easily have said so.  Some women simply don't have the stomach for that it seems.  And she had a week to call, and my number for sure.  No hard feelings, she just probably isn't the one so I don't have much invested, it's the notion.

At least I got cleaned up, and I cleaned up well enough, for an ogre.  And I was there way early.  No, not to impress or for want, simply because I couldn't remember how long it took to get there.  It's been a while.  So I am pleased that I did my part and ended up with a pound of ribeye for the effort.  Couldn't eat it all tonight though.  I'm chalking that up to summer temps.  It does something to the digestion and basic ability to consume.  It was delicious and I did bring home the remnants for later.

I have a week to get refreshments for the meeting sorted out.  I have several sodas to take, and some insta-snacks.  I think I will skip on fresh fruit to be honest.  It's just that it has to be bought fresh, as in that day almost.  And much of it has to be processed, all of it at a minimum needs to be washed.  Several varieties of nuts, a few candy bars, some cheese/peanut butter filled crackers, and drinks.  That should do.  I don't know how many to expect which makes it all a bit tricky.  I have all but the beverages in stock, and keep all but lite beers on tap, or mean to.  So this first time shouldn't be too difficult.  One of the other duties is to set the room up according to specs.  I don't know the technical specs, but I have been to meetings so I can guestimate it and go from there, learning anything else that needs doing through the other officers and senior members.  All good.

Oh, I decided to give the lawn boy his games and system today.  I thought about it... why wait until school.  He will then have school, plus homework.  He will get to enjoy his games very little soon enough.  Because it was sort of a snap decision I hadn't charged it.  But... he was just fine with that.  The last few times he has been by he has mentioned that chair I bought.  Something about why isn't it together yet, and when am I going to... So... I enlisted him in helping me put it together.  That'll teach him.  I told him this is the trick to use on women, too.  When they nag about something, give them tasks to do to either help or set it up the task.  It buys time or makes the job easier, both really.  I don't think he thought that was all that funny.  He just wanted to go home and get his game going.  Hahaha!  Nope.  So, my chair is finally together.  Doom's deathchair is fully operational!  And it is wonderful to have a chair that has a solid back on it... not like the surfboard on a stick I had been using.  Nice.

Well, that's that.  Ah, right.  I have been, slowly, a cd or two a month, been buying some of that music I play here.  Nightwish, Tarja herself, Disturbed, that Siouxsie and the Banshees song that kicked me into gear for a while or the album it was on...  Slowly be surely, buying what I have been playing.  Then again,  I still wonder if part of the reason my comments are being blocked is because of showing the music here.  You would think they would just email me a warning or something.  Either that or some of the pages I comment don't tend to appreciate what I say and flag me?  Dunno.  All I know is I can't comment on most of your pages anymore, again.

Good night.
