While the wife is Away3...

i arose today with a smile and a plan.

last night turned out to be pretty tame. (despite the buildup to it… just a few buddies and some drinks) then i started calling 2 of my other buddies to see if they wanted to hangout. i called obnoxiously. after 12:30am. i knew both were still awake and at home.

i relentlessly rang every number i had for tony. both vmails and the answering machine. no answer. (he called me the next morning though and wanted to know if i was in trouble last night… yeah man, i fell on a knife and bled out overnight… but since you called me back this morning, it looks like im gonna be fine. thanks for getting back to me so quick… (mmYWF) i tell him that i just wanted to hangout.

didn’t bug the BroadSlayer so much. just a couple of calls. (although when Sleeves was heading out for the night, he declined to leave me outside the BroadSlayers home like i was requesting... i was gonna wake up the Slayer and make him hangout for awhile) ive heard so much about the BroadSlayers nights-out-on-the-town but have yet to witness this Character in action...

Caveman saw him out 1 night - the Slayer=Smushed...

so today, i rise up, determined: either have the BroadSlayer take me out with him or i was going to end up shadowing his movements. the Neighbor drops by to borrow a card game, i tell him the plan and he asks me, so you aren’t going as the Wingman? i tell him i would but this could turn out to be a covert-op. he invites me out to a bar to watch football tomorrow with his buddies but i decline. not sure what the night holds…

Sleeves comes over for video golf at 3pm…

we go to the BroadSlayers home. when we arrive there, he states “if we can get him so far on the project today, he could have a few beers tonight” its saturday and with not much on the agenda, we stand there for a ½ hour, ready and waiting to give him a hand with his project. we watch him work the numbers and angles. he asks for our thoughts on what he is doing. my 3rd opinion rights him and hes back on track. once his new plan is laid out, Sleeves and i can start working. i keep encouraging the BroadSlayer to start using the saw right away! you know, just to get something started. while he is marking off the rest of his project, i bring up the idea of doing something tonight and thats when he crushes my dream…

got something lined up, he states. i tell him good luck, he asks why im disappointed and says, you just want to get smashed tonight. i say no, i just wanted to hangout with my buddies and have a few drinks. quick laugh all around. the BroadSlayer then asks us rhetorically, “how can I have beers tonight, i have to get this all done. my tenant has given me a deadline.” the BroadSlayer then follows that up with saying he never said he would have beers tonight. Sleeves and i both refute this claim and then we leave right away. on the way out, we laugh at the old dishwasher that had been in his backyard for awhile and then had made its way to the curb for all of last week and the garbage service wouldnt take it… so now, the dishwasher is on a 2wheeler and is once again in his backyard...

got home, watched a couple of movies and fell asleep on the couch.

when i awoke, i just didn’t have the same vigor as earlier in the day. hardly had the energy to pick up dinner. yup. im sick! couldn’t outrun the super-cold even with all the vit. C in the house…

another tame night:
Sleeves comes back over for Bs game+more video golf
took 12hr cold med at 10:45
talked to the wife, she is at yet another bar after dinner but very ready to come home…
12hr cold med is awesome…
watched Pred. 2(busey has compelling performance as keyes)
went to bed

thank God the Slayer had plans!!

~life is short, getting sick sucks~
