It's Pajama Wednesday!

I cannot believe that I do not have to work any overtime this week. I did not sign-up for any overtime either because I really want to feel what a four day weekend feels like. So far I am loving it. I have laundry going and am going to reorganize my closet before Sunday. It's funny that I put my pajamas in with this load and, like Hugh Hefner would have done, I put on another pair of pajamas. I think I may need to get a sea captain's hat for days like these. I will clean the kitchen and give the inside of the refrigerator a once-over and get rid of whatever has expired or turned fuzzy or rotted... Oh yeah, and I also saved two human lives yesterday. I hope karma is real and the cosmos will return the favor to me one day.

Yesterday at work I was asked if I wanted to go to dinner with a few people after work. I said yes, as Cha Cha was still going to be at work. It was me and four ladies (just a coincidence that I just wrote about Hef. It was a very pleasant time. We laughed and talked and drank. I had two huge margaritas and I slept like a baby last night: worked hard 12-hours, ate a good dinner, margaritas and then took my usual melatonin and the prescribed sleeping pill and got about nine hours of sleep I think. I am not going to use this method often because it may lead to disaster eventually. I have several tasks around the house and so-forth to keep me busy until Sunday when I go back to work.

The Blue Lotus monastics 

I am thinking about going up to Woodstock Saturday to the Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple. I am not religious at all but I am very spiritual. I think it is nice that many people are religious one way or another and, if that helps them cope or understand..., I think that is fantastic. Jill and I had gone to the temple every week for a long time but when I began working Saturdays a few years ago that was not possible. I miss going there and am looking forward to returning. I cannot believe how much the meditating helped me. And the Buddhist monks are so kind and non-judgmental and caring. I still use meditation now and again because I would not last very long in a penitentiary, I fear, if I gave into some of my primal instincts. That was an over-exaggeration because I very seldom feel enough animosity to harm anything or anyone. I suppose everyone meditates in one form or another but totally clearing your mind for awhile really helps the stress and challenges of every day life. For me it kind of recharges me I guess. My mind can not be trusted be to unleashed. That last sentence is something a news agency would take out of context if I were ever involved in an altercation.

A few years ago I lost my wedding ring. I was certain that I lost it at work and it was gone forever. I though I lost it in a box and it was goodness knows where. I know, when you hear a set-up like, that there is an obvious happy ending. I was reaching into my backpack over the my weekend and I felt something in the bottom of my backpack. I bet you can guess what I found in the bottom of my backpack. Yes, my wedding ring. I wear it most of the time again though I do not wear it to work.

Jill and I watched a Netflix original series (only three episodes, so far) called Trump: An American Dream. The show is very well done and it sure shows how he became the person that he is today. None of what I have seen on the documentary surprised me a lot but there are some things that surprised me some. It is a British documentary (Channel 4 - United Kingdom) so it seems to be unbiased though, I believe, our minds check our own personal boxed biases as we watch it; at least that is the way it is working for me. I think all of us, no matter what the topics are, make our views see fit the way that that we believe they are. This show has a lot of footage of when he was first starting to: build buildings and start casinos and hotels and host Wrestlemania... It is also cool to see clips of all of the news people and talk show hosts from back in the day like: Rona Barrett, Geraldo Rivera, Liz Smith, Howard Stern.... The show really makes me feel sad for Melania Trump. I will say no more about this show as to not sway your opinion in case you decide to watch it. IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base) calls the show "a documentary through five decades." I cannot wait until the next episodes are made though I am not really certain of they ever will be made? Perhaps we are living the next episodes right now? Here is a clip if you want to check it out.

I think I will end now because the washing machine just called to tell me that the dryer is hungry now. Thank you for stopping by. Wish me luck on all my projects over the next four days. But, with me being home for the next four days, I hope to blog more. TTFN...MITM (out)!
