HAS BEEN ~
Saturday night my wife and her girlfriends carved pumpkins. I watched the World Series. Obviously we were at two different places...like 20 miles apart. Fours days after a pumpkin is carved it turns moldy and you have to throw it out.
Sunday I spent 3 frickin' hours chasing my tail and learning how useless the internet can be from time to time. The mission: find a way to watch the Packers/Vikings game. Since I am in Texas I am saddled (no pun intended) with watching NFC east games no matter what. So I turned to the internet. Between the videos on youtube (way outdated) and false promises on virtually every promising site I searched for...I found no way to watch this game on my computer. I pathetically resigned myself to watching two helmets march up and down the field (CBS Sports Gametrak) while listening to the Cowboys on TV just waiting for a game break. This sucked beyond belief. At least the Pack won and are now 7 and 0 going into the bye week. Then I watched the Rangers lay an egg in World Series that night.
Monday was the worst day at work in several months. In fact it was a month or more of Mondays snowballed into one giant suck-fest. Apparently the stupid people got the memo to talk to me that day but I was curiously left off the distribution list. By 5PM I was mentally drained and could not get thoughts of homicide out of my head. Good night though...the Rangers won a masterfully pitched game by 25-year old Derek Holland...2-hitter. Rangers lead the series 3-2 and back to the sucko weather in St. Louis.
Tuesday was a trade off at work. The stupid people were all gone but my other worker for the morning texted me she was sick 15 minutes before she was to start. Leaving me 6 1/2 hours handling it all. But like I said the stupid people (I want Marilyn Manson to write THAT song!) left me alone so it was fairly easy. Travel day so no Series game. A nice night watching TV with the wife.
Today was the best day so far. My help showed up for work. As hump days go it was uneventful. Bummer of the day...tonights Series game has been called because of weather. I see a movie and an early night tonight.
WHAT WILL BE
Tomorrow (Thursday for those keeping score) has a change in store. The balmy 80's we have been basking in all week give way to a high of around 50 and rainy crap weather. The morning lows will be hitting the 40's for the next several mornings. Two months ago we were dying in the 100's and full-on drought! They say in Texas, " if you don't like the weather, wait a minute." Game 6 of the series is scheduled for tonight...hopefully that goes off as planned.
The rest of this week weather in the 70's, customers all geared up for this end of the month weekend, business should be brisk, Rangers will win game 6 and their first world series (then the only thing Texas will not have had a hand in for sports championships this year will be hockey, pfft whatever), the Pack will get much needed rest as this is their bye week, and Halloween is fast approaching.
The pumpkin is still going in the trash tomorrow...
