back to normal but I still have throat congestion. I'm feeling much better and my voice is slowly returning
I'm still keeping my steps, watching football. Taking it easy. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yeesh. That's about all I can say for now
I can't site any details but yesterday I lost my job. I spent 12 years and 3 months at it. I was always on time for all my shifts. I did the best that I could. It's the end of an era. The worst part of all of this is I worked with some great people that I'm going to really miss. They were like my family. There's an empty feeling in my stomach right now. I'm not going to dwell upon it here as I can't say anything. Suffice to say I'm going to be ok, no need to panic or anything.
One thing is understood: I'm canceling my website until I can obtain something steady. My website saw me post 1723 blog posts. Many of those entries were excerpts out of my diary and or copies from Blogger. Of course I'll keep my Blog open here. Maybe I'll come back to the website this time next year, we'll see. As for my 2Gb internet tablet at $37/month, I cancelled that yesterday afternoon. I'm back to the Flex plan at $5/month for 10Mb but I have wifi and my home internet.
This morning I'm back in the office with some papers to sign and I'm picking up my last cheque on Friday. Next week, I'm applying for my CPP. I didn't want to do this so soon but it's necessary to get on it right away. I'll probably do this Thursday and next week I'm going to register for Alberta Works and get that thing going.
I have 2 big bills to pay off, LM and my Lodge dues and also my current bill for my tablet. Not the $5 one.
One thing, I've got some time do get some reading done, that's for sure and maybe even go to Commercial next Saturday. I'm also learning the WM opening and closing charge, which is quite substantial but with all this on my mind it's going to be tough to sleep tonight. Anyway, that's about all for now.

Summer, day 1. June
is one of my favorite months of the year. The mix of rain Sun and cloud and the colors are amazing. The Sun setting about 10pm is a bonus as well.
I’ve been following the sequel to Star Trek 2 the next movie by JJ Abrams but it’s probably way to early for a Summer release date. If anything I’d say May 2013 but I have no conformation about this, it’s just a guess on my part.
I was visiting various places around Google earth earlier around the Swedish Island of Gotland. It’s a big place with only a few small communities and it kind of reminds me of Alberta without the hills and mountains. It’s more of a farming area. It’s largest community is Visby a community of some 22,000. If I ever get the money I’d love to visit there maybe during the fall. A flight would leave out of here from Edmonton International>Seattle>Frankfort>Stockholm on a return trip first class about $1,500. It’d be about 12-14 hours not including stopovers. I’d love to go by myself spend a week there explore and return (with a lot of photos of course.) But if I didn’t have Anne with me, I’d save up the money and go for 10 days. That’s if I ever win the lottery.
Speaking of which Friday’s Max draw is for $50M, tomorrow’s draw is for $17M. I’m getting 1 for each today.
I had a decent day yesterday pulling in a $500 sale (but not on card) I had a couple of $50’s and a $110 sale on card. That’s almost $800! I love days like those. We had a different campaign as well which helped a lot.
About 4:30 this morning I was feeling my stomach tighten as I was breaking out into a sweat. I ran to the toilet moaning and groaning. My head was spinning. Vomit erupted from my mouth, it was a disaster. I must have sat there on the toilet in the dark. Anne was just going to bed about this time helping me out. I was gasping for air when I break out into another sweat. She helped clean me up as I was in a mess. I had a shower and went back to bed. Twenty minutes or so latter, here we go again with more of the above. I hurled about 4 times into a bucket this time Anne had given me. At this time she called into the office for me saying I won’t be in for the morning shift. I felt a little better and went back to bed. We both agreed it was a case of food poisoning. Something I ate yesterday played havoc with my system.
This evening I’m heading out of here shortly before 4pm so I can head on over to the Backer Centre and get a 6/49 and a Max and a $20 Visa card. Loopmasters has a product I want called “Essential dubstep.” I’ve never ordered from this company before and their ordering set up doesn’t seem to work properly for some reason. I hope to place an order for tonight when I get home
I feel a lot better now. I got up about 10am had a owl of cereal and that was kept down and my insulin and fed the cats and went back to bed. So I’m in for 4 hours this evening and I’m going to ask the boss if I can come in for Thursday morning for 3.5 and the rest of the day for a total of 11 hours to make up for missing today. We’ll see how that goes. Anyway, that’s all I have for today.

I love my Saturday nights
My favorite time of the week is when it's 4:30pm and I'm putting on my coat and packing my gear to head out the building and on the LRT heading for home.
I didn't realize I had forgotten that because the Oiler's were on the tail end of an Eastern road trip the game being in Ottawa would have began about 10am our time. It was probably all but over by our noon break. If we would have had the big TV set up we would have been able to watch some of it. The Oiler's won 4-3 in OT.
Despite me getting ill with this bronchial thing or whatever it is and losing Sparky Monday, it's been a rough month.I still have whatever this thing is but I've got a bit of a break here. My voice is stronger then ever and despite the rough week I've had, I feel pretty good. I've got a sleeping pill here ready to take and I'm haeding into bed about 2am.
Today, Keith said he'd call me to set up the programs I would need to have my laptop ready. Then I can install my music programs and work on a couple of instrumentals. I also asked Blogger for some help as I'm having some layout things that are bugging me. Namely my Header. I have some text I want to re-size, realign, change the font color and save some real estate on the Blog. Other then that Sunday is going to be a reading kind of a day.
I've been checking around and there's a "new" occult bookstore here in the City: Holy Graal books. Apparently they have a large collection of Masonic material. Maybe next Saturday, I'll check them out.
One of the websites I like to visit is "Above Top Secret." it's a alternative news site. Under "breaking news" is this article: Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders. The original article is out from "Rock centre." I could see the Israeli's actually doing something like. There was an assassination of a high ranking official, I think in Syria. Anyway, that's all for now.
