First Day of Second Month

Hell All
Well we’re in the second month of the year and it’s my parents Anniversary today, 46 years now and my ex’s BD as well, 44 for him. I had to take my dad to the doctor early Tuesday morning in which is mess up my whole day on top of me being upset over my web hosting company. Frustrated, angry, mad, pissed are words that come to mind. Lesson learned there but a costly one as I’m tired of paying for them out of pocket. I really can’t get mad as I saw the signs when I couldn’t find a phone number to talk to a real person to set up or for support. Went through that back in 99 when I set up a website for the company me and my business partner at the time set up. Email is fine but when you it takes you seven to ten hours to answer them there is a problem. Not to mention when I did find a phone number for them all I got was a recording and I left a few messages two days ago as I haven’t gotten a response yet. Yes I’m upset that I lost funds but not upset as to what I could have lost. Something told me not to set up for a year and I’m glad I did follow my instincts and didn’t. I guess I did see the signs and just ignored them and I did pay for it. For someone coming from a corrections environment where you’re always on your toes I really let my guard down this time. Then again I’m only human but still no excuse that’s for sure. Minor set back as it’s throwing my schedule off a little bit but I’ll recover. Will be sending the company a letter and fax here shortly that I will no longer require they’re services and why, after I have the new account with a new company and 24 hour support. So I’m looking at next week sometime for the site to be up and running. Hopefully the phone service and P.O. box will be ready as well.
Got free tickets to the Auto show and since it was my Ex’s BD I’ll treat him to that as a belated BD gift. It should be a nice time as I went this past Sunday with my Brother and Best friend Steve. A lot of walking as it usually takes three hours or more to do the whole show. The first of the month and I have the second of six meeting a month again at work this coming Saturday. Had the first one today and it was a very good one. My superintendent’s BD was on Monday and she took the day off. We planed a surprised party for her and she was surprised at that not to mention grateful that we all remembered. All in my department chipped in and got her some nice gift. Ladies stuff.  The food was on as it was a pot luck type things where everyone brings a covered dish. Usually would have cooked something but everyone was bring food and stuff so I made a spinach salad with Zesty Italian dressing and walnuts. Needless to say there was nothing left if it. There was friend chicken, fajitas and enchiladas, and chicken strips. Lots of fruit and vegetable platters, breads, dips potato salad, chips, Finger foods and well as soda ice cream and of course the BD cake. We ate till we couldn’t eat anymore as not much was done cause we where all so full. I even had to pass on dinner as I was still full not to mention walking the building trying to walk it all off. LOL
Called my folks later in the day to wish them a Happy Anniversary as well as my sister as she forgot what day it was, can you blame her as she has enough on here hands with my nephew? She’s made up here mind that next year he won’t be attending college there as he can’t do what he needs to do like take care of his health and she tells me his grades are falling off as well. Just five more month and we’ll see what happens. I called my ex too and wish him well. He treated himself to a massage today so he should be feeling really relaxed for sure. It’s good that he and I can remain good friends over all. Something most folk can’t do especially after a break up. We forgive it but don’t forget and don’t hold grudges either.
February for me is usually a trying month as a lot does go on for me in this month. For example; my parents’ anniversary and my ex’s BD are on the first. My ex skating coach, yes I said skating coach who son is now skating for the U.S. Olympic ice skating speed team and broke three world records,  you already know I will be watching the Speed skating events this month as I’ve known the child since he was born. Anyway his dads’ BD is the second. I’ll give him a call tomorrow as I always do that on his BD to stay in touch as I don’t see them too often anymore. I grew out of the skating theme. My mothers’ BD is on the 10th and my fathers’ is on the 19th. Valentines Day is the 14th of course and another good friend. Her BD is on the 13th so I have my work cut out for me this month on top of it being black history month too, Programs at work for the kids.  
Over all I can say it’s been a wonderful day and I rolling right along here. Hope all had a wonderful day as well as I did and hope all have good plans for the weekend too. As I mentioned earlier I’m talking my ex to the Auto Show as it will be a good outing for him and a little time away from the kids as well. Don’t plan on doing any hanky panky as he’s really been hurting these past few weeks. I’ve seen the swelling on one of his shoulders and he’s not kidding about his pain situation. I just hope he’ll be able to make the rounds of the show. It doesn’t matter as I’ve done it last weekend but may take the camera this time to snap some pictures. There where so many folks there last weekend I felt uncomfortable but folk where somewhat polite and that’s one thing I do like about Houston is we have some friendly folk here. Well that’s about it for now so until fingers meet keys all have a good one and looking forward to hearing from you all. Hugs.
