June 10

Today is my last day at this company. I start a new job on Monday at a new place after 6 and a half years and I'm a little scared. It's kind of like a bad break up and now I'm putting myself into the dating world again. I have no idea if it's going to work. The last thing I want to do is dip into my retirement fund because I can't hold down a day job.

My beloved Lucifer had to be put down this week, I've had her almost 16 years. It was time, she was in such poor health and I couldn't bear the thought of her suffering. Fortunately I still have my other cat, Raphael. I'm not sure if she's aware of what is going on, I'm sure she realizes Luci isn't around any longer, I've been cleaning everything in the house to eliminate Luci's scent. I thought it would be good for Raphie, and probably myself as well. I put Luci's picture in a nice frame on my bookcase to remember her.

I genuinely hate Valentine's Day, it's always a disappointment. On the bright side, my birthday is later this week, I turn 46. I'm in the process of saving up for a trip to Europe. I've never been, and I'm thinking England & France for 4 days. Expedia has some pretty good deals. Anyone out there ever travelled to Europe alone?

I can't believe the entire Summer has gone by since my last post. I have had 2 sick cats and a trip to Reno NV since I last posted. My poor kitty Lucifer is 15 years old and very frail. Turns out she has a bad thyroid and has to be on medication from now on. Raphael is much younger but has Summer allergies to deal with. Trips to the Vet have been expensive. I did spend the night in Reno playing .05 slots earlier this month, I broke even and won a few free drinks. Luke Bryan is coming to Atlanta this weekend, I'm looking forward to seeing him again. I've hardly been to any concerts this year, just one or two.

It's been a while since I've posted. I'm going to see Blue Man Group tonight at the Fabulous Fox theater here in Atlanta, one of my favorite spots to catch a concert, and I've never seen them before. I'm into Season 6 of Sons of Anarchy on my Netflix subscription, it's kind of surreal to sit and watch an entire series in less than a month's time, most people watched it over the course of 4 or 5 years. I watched the Series Finale so I already know how it ends. Spring has finally come to Atlanta, my truck is covered with pollen, along with everything else.

I can't believe I turn 45 in a week. How depressing. I'm not even in my early 40's anymore. I keep telling myself I'm one year younger than Jennifer Anniston, she turns 46 this month. Yesterday my new carpet was installed and it looks very nice. The cats are getting used to it. Nothing special planned for Valentine's Day, it's really a stupid holiday. I might just go to the dive bar for some Kareoke like I usually do.

January 2

New Year's Eve was uneventful, I went to my favorite Dive Bar for some Karaoke. Some random dude came up to me wanting a hug and I had to say "No thanks" like three times before he got the message. I don't like strange men putting their hands on me. The scale read 140 on New Year's Day. Not good, I am immediately cutting back on carbs and sweet stuff, I must have gained 2 or 3 pounds over the holidays. Looking forward to getting my tax refund so I can recarpet my condo.
