Let's start this off with good news. First, I am off today, so I could sleep in as long as I want. Which lasted till around noon. When I finally got up, I only went as far as the end of my bed though. Turning on the TV and tuning into Olympic coverage since there is really nothing else on.

My mother got home from work around 3 PM. They brought home corn. Oh boy, Corn is ok, but let just be honest . Um, it's just corn isn't it? What so special about it? Other then corn for dinner which I only ate one ear anyway. I had a couple hot dogs.

After dinner it was lawn mowing time. My father had got gas when he went to pick up my mother. Good, no arguing about it this time. Guess his back was feeling ok, or he didn't feel like arguing with me. So, before he finished eating , I went out and started doing the lawn.  I was almost finished with my part of the front yard, before he got outside. I finished my part of the lawn long before he finished his, and was inside with my mother, helping move furniture around so she could vacuum.

While finishing up vacuuming, he even said "thanks for helping with the lawn" which was sorta shocking. Guess he woke up on the kind side of the bed for once.

Anyway, now that all the house work, and yard work is finished. It's back to Olympic coverage for the majority of the night. I'll be visible online when I feel like chatting, and on as late as I want, as I don't work till tomorrow afternoon.

After being asked to go out with a friend last night, and refusing. I stayed up , as planned till 430 am when I had to take my mother to her job. I dropped her off, then went to Tops, where I checked my work schedule. I have to return there on Monday at 730 am. I then returned home. Where I promptly went to bed.

I woke up at 11 am. Upon getting out of bed. I turned on TV and tuned into the speed channel. Where I started to watch today's nascar coverage. I then sat down and turned on the PC where I logged in online.

At 1 PM I went and picked up my mother from her job and brought her home. Where she made dinner. Today's dinner was Velveeta mac & cheese, and polish sausage. This is probally my favorite home made dinner.

After eating , I retired back to my room. To my TV and my PC.  Around 330, we decided to clean out the spare bedroom, which is pretty much a room that has stuff that is old, and has been moved out of other room. There's a box in the corner with old toys and other stuff in it. So we cleaned that out. We threw out about 3 large size trash bags of crap. The room is actually pretty neat and tidy now.

Again, after this , I retired back to my room, where I am right now. The NASCAR busch series race has just ended. The winner of today's race was the number 20 Rockwell automation Chevy. Driven today by Denny Hamlin.

So, what's my plans for the rest of the night. Staying online unless I go somewhere. Watching the NHRA which is on after the race, and then there is pre-season NFL football tonight. Other then that , there are no plans. I see plenty of boredom in my future.

What's on my mind? I think all this doing nothing gives me to much time to think. To much time to think about the past. The decision's that have been made, and there consequences. Like I can jump back in the past and change anything anyway. There's just my future to think about. Whatever there is of a future to think about. Just the usual. What will happen to me in the future as time moves on.

I am like a turtle, I pull my head back into my shell when something scares me. I can't go fast enough to keep up with the rabbit. I stop to sniff the flowers, only to be stung in the nose by a bee. Life is like the weather. Great an sunny one moment. Then raining on you the next. I am the turtle, I can't go fast enough to get out of the way.
