Tomorrow is a work day/night for me. My tomorrows always fall on the time I go to sleep – that doesn’t always work with every one else’s world. I’m often amazed at people that GASP when they hear I work 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., as if it’s a time out of the twilight zone and no real person would ever work those hours. Well guess what! I do and I like it! I like going to bed at 7 a.m. I watch the sun come up, the air is fresh, very little traffic, and the new morning horizon spreads out as a beautiful painting that was presented especially for me by Picasso. I cherish that time.

When the weather’s warm, I walk my neighborhood – sometimes for miles. I let all the nuisances of the day slip past me and relax in the comfort of my own space and time. I eventually wind down and slip off into Sandman Land and usually sleep until 3 p.m. Now…what the hell’s so different about my schedule and a person that has to get up at 3 a.m. to make it to work by 7? Nothing. I just have the best of it because it suits my body clock. I don’t care if you work during the day…

This is my new drive/entry way My youngest son, Darian, and I are starting a home based business. My place is the website model. Soon my back yard – the project that has lasted longer than life – will be finished…honest…for real this year – and I’m going to have custom, acid stained floors throughout my house. I’m tired of carpet…that dust holding, allergy creating mess that always needs to be tended to and no matter how new it is or how many times you ‘shampoo’ it, it never seems to really be clean. When the floors are finished, my countertops will be acid stained concrete. Love it! There’s no limitations on the designs and ideas. You, the home/business owner, are the only factor that would ever make it boring and common place.

My sis left this afternoon. I hate to see her go but it’s time. She has a life and a place in MT and she refuses to move here…she says it’s the traffic. I laughed at her. She lives in a city that had about 60,000 people when I left and now must have over 100,000 people in it. Don’t worry, nothing has changed in the traffic design since I left. You have to cross the Clark Fork River (in more places than one) to navigate across town…hell – get ready because you’re stuck! She didn’t see the humor when I laughed. Well she’s going home to 13 degree temperature tonight and I’m slumming in Vegas. Love ya – see ya. I’m glad I’m here.

A flash back to Saturday night. My sis and I had planned a big food extravaganza for twelve people. We cooked, drank wine, people came, we drank more wine, cooked, got food ready, more people showed, drank wine…finally ate – K-e-e-rist! Wayne went right in and attacked the dishes. Where is this man from? I wondered if he was for hire or what???? What would I have to do to keep him on full time? Ok…I’m just musing at the fact that a man would jump up and tackle that mess…it just ain’t real.

Then we played Dealer’s Choice poker. It was great fun and the only downside was that Jim AKA The Monkey didn’t show. Big tears…I love that guy. Apparently he couldn’t break out of the Colorado prison that he’s in…that would be IBM and life…or is it life at IBM…umhnnhhh

There’s a plan to have a Clan Poker Tournament in March…maybe my house. Lots of food, everyone helps…maybe a sleep over for people that need a room…no bed and breakfast here, just find a spot on the damn floor…join the Clan if you want an invite.

Enough…the time clock awaits tonight. I’ll be there with my best smile and work attitude on…after all, I only have to work two days and I’m off for two again…YIPPPPEEE!
