Today basically I tried to do alot, but ended up with alot of nothing.
My day started with "Sebastian" (my one year old) waking me up. Normally, Roxann goes to work early. Sebastian gets up with her for awhile then she puts him back in the crib when she leaves. She changes him, gives him a bottle and he goes to sleep for awhile.
Around 10am.. Sebastian wakes up and it's just me here. By then he needs another bottle (he gets water just at night, but then I give him milk towards morning). I always change him, and always put a few snacks in his crib. I always move him to the second crib (the one in our room) and he always falls asleep again.
Today, he drank the bottle fast and started crying. He is right next to my bed then with me sleeping. I usually wait this out a few.. because mostly he will fall back asleep. I really like him to sleep till about noon, but that didn't happen today. He had everything. He was changed, had food.. toys. He can stand up and tap on my head. When he noticed I wasn't getting right up.. he started "screaming" (unusual for him) and smashed his own face into the crib. Well that got my attention.. he got a bloody lip. So I got up right then and we started our day. He was completely fine after that. It was just one of the days, he didn't follow routine.
So I made some food for both of us, and began checking my emails. I then started calling on some of these "summer" shows I want to get into. Most every one I called on, I got an answering machine. So I have to wait for the call back. I hate that,, I want to now.
Roxann gets off work early on Wednesday. I had some coins I needed to cut (mail orders) and package to go. I did that.
My buddie Craig called. He's been wanting to meet Roxann's friend Christy. I kinda hooked them up (kinda). I said to her he was interested in her, she gave her number so he could call her. He did, they have talked several times.
Craig and her are ALOT alike as far as I can see. I want them to meet. Craig told her "If you ever want to go out, give me a call". Craig I think (laughing to myself). You don't ask a woman out by saying to her "If you ever want to go out, give me a call".. lol. That NEVER works on women.. and Roxann agreed.
So Craig was on the phone today with Roxann. And me at separate times. He needed to drop off some stuff I lent him, and knew I needed some help on this "riding lawn mower" Roxann's parents owned. It hasn't been running in years. I wanted Craig to look at it with me, and more important move it out of the shed to the garage where I could work on it. We got a big yard here, and nobody is gonna want to be pushing a push mower. Plus I done told Craig, Christy was here like every single day. If he came over more often he could meet her first, and see how things progress. He asked if she was here now. I said no. Roxann said she could call her, and make sure she did come here. Craig said.. she has all my numbers, you don't need to do that. She can reach me if she decides.
Roxann called Christy (they are both so alike, it's pathetic). She said,, I am not sure if I can make it there. I have things to do. If I do.. I can't stay long.
Craig got here, she was here. Craig said.. (before even a hello to her) Gary lets go check that lawnmower out before it gets dark (we both know alot about engines, but he knows mowers in general more then me). So we were there about a half hour. In the meantime.. she had to leave without meeting Craig.. lol.
It was a pain in the ass. The mower has been sitting for years. It's a fairly new one.. but had all flat tires.. and a dead battery. We managed to push it into the garage (from the shed) where it can be looked at better. We put a charger on it. I am certain the battery is gone. I don't know what else yet. At least one of the tires will need a new tube. Not a big deal. The others may have just leaked out over time. The plug looks fairly new. It will need new oil. It was dead empty on gas, but I wanted to see if it would turn over. With the charger on "Quick start" I got nothing turning the key. Using a screwdriver across the starter.. I could tell there was juice, but the motor wouldn't turn over. So either the piston is frooze, or the starter is bad. I expect the piston is frooze.. but most likely I can fix that if I tear off the head. Anyway I look at this.. it will be a little over $100 no matter what. Blades and chit, we can just sharpen. Kinda sucks overall, I wanted more accomplished today.
Craig went home (he lives 30 minutes away). Hasn't met her yet.. maybe never will. Lol.. For some reason.. and I don't know what it is, this dude always wants my advice when he wants to get laid.. lol. i give it always, then he doesn't follow a damn thing I say.. lol.
So now I am here, watching bootleg movies on the net again. Right now, Ocean's 13. I seen the others so watching that now.
Later all, Gary
