A DREAM I DON'T ENJOY AT ALL

Image
My recurring dream that I really don't enjoy is that I'm searching in a hospital for someone I care about (the person changes from time to time). I can't find the room and no one I talk to will even look at me. It's like they don't care I'm there or they don't hear me. The building is like a maze and is changing all the time. I go back down a hall and it's different. I know the person needs me, but I can't get to them.

A BIT OF BOOZE MADE THE WEEK FUN

Image
This was very tasty. It says it's out of Regina, Saskatchewan. I enjoyed it a lot. It's very full bodied. Not like most things that call themselves and Ale here. This is also out of Regina, Saskatchewan. It's not an actual rum, it's in the style of rum. It was very sweet and tasted mostly of peppermint stick. There was also a smell and taste of Christmas pudding. I'm kind of sure this was bad for me weight wise and I'll be paying for it when I weight in next week, but it was 3 days of fun sipping on it for hours while watching movies.

3 NIGHTS WITH ALMOST NO SLEEP

Image
Been having a lot of acid reflux the last while. It's been keeping me awake at night. I've tried to sleep in my chair but I just can't get to sleep if I'm not laying down. I'm quite exhausted right now from 3 days of not sleeping well. I rather hope tonight goes well or I might end up passing out trying to get things done tomorrow. Naps don't often work for me, but going to try hard to take a nap. As well, I don't know if it's allergies or what, but it's slightly hard to breath right now. I've had a lot of that over the years as well. Some attributed to my heart condition and some to every thing green and leafy trying to kill me with it's pollen.

6 STORIES FROM MY YOUTH

Image
Met a man when I was like 12 or 13. My Dad knew him in Regina, and he moved there to work in a plant that was making farm implements. Before he came here, he was an engineer In a German tank factory in WWII. When I was probably 10 years old, we went to Banff National Park and stayed in a cabin we rented. There was a vendor where you could buy pallets to feed the deer. We put them out in the box outside and the deer came to eat it. It was the first time I was ever that close to a wild animal that was not in a cage. When I was 9, I fractured my spine and came close to being paralyzed by it, or so the doctor said. I spent months in a body cast after that. I was not allowed to do a lot of things for months more after the cast came off. I gained weight and never lost it again, even though I went back to my normal level of activity after. When I was young, I cannot remember the age, but less than 12, we rode out bikes out of town and down a dirt road. We found a large muddy puddle and decide...

AVIRA ANDROID APP WON'T STAY AS PRO ACCOUNT AFTER I GAVE THEM MY MONEY

Image
Tired of Avira's App crapping out on me. I paid for the Pro license and it just will NOT stay pro. It at random drops my license and tells me I'm running the free one. I emailed them and they told me to uninstall and reinstall and sign in again. Well I'm not willing to do this every day of my life so NO. I got it for the "web protection" and being I don't have that with the "free", it's pointless to have it on my phone now. I does not even tell me it's dropped the pro license yet again, it just does it quietly. So just no more of your crap. It's gone for good. I think the worst of it is, it works fine for most people paying for it, but this is 2 phones it crapped out on. The tablet seems to freaking just work on it and I don't know why.

MOST OF MY LIFE I HAVE NOT SLEPT WELL

Image
Well I have had trouble sleeping since I was 10 years old. It's funny how many people tell me not to drink so much coffee and I'll sleep. I did not start drinking coffee until my late 20's and so I'm guessing that's not the issue LOL. Some nights I lay there until I get frustrated then get up and take a blanket into the living room and sit in my recliner and listen to music with the headphones on until I'm relaxed enough to try and sleep again. It's about a 50% chance I'll sleep after that, but not always. When I was a working man, this was a bit more of a problem. The ability to do your job well when you are in a place that needs you to work fast and with accuracy is inhibited when you have had 90 minutes sleep. Not to mention the ability to communicate well with others. Speaking of communicating well, in my late 30's I started to get issues with the ability to recall words. I don't know if it stems from a life of not sleeping properly or just t...
