Wow, what a weekend! First things first though - Sunday night, back at work. And I've been here since 6 pm rather than 10 pm because one of the guys called in sick. Again. The big boss called me at home earlier today to see if I could come in early so the guy who was here wouldn't end up staying for 16 hours until I got here at 10. This way we both ended up with 12 for the day. The big boss also said that they were planning on firing this guy who called in because he has basically just been fucking off and not doing his job. So now he's gone and I'm not sure who will end up covering his shifts until they can find another new person. I might go ahead and volunteer to do next Friday and Saturday nights (sigh) but there's no way I'm doing the next Friday night. Cause it's Halloween :-)
Ok so let's see. Friday morning I got home and TK was still awake so we decided to go hiking! We went to this little park where you start off on a paved trail but then end up wandering through the woods on little forest trail type things. It was awesome! Stopped by HEB to pick up a couple of things, Sprouts to get a few veggies, then went by the house to put everything away. We decided to go look at Target to see if they had any new cool toys so we headed down there. We got distracted on the way there though and stopped at a Gamestop to look around. Nothing good, lol. There's a Petsmart in the same shopping center as the Gamestop so we decided to go in and look at the animals. Um, more on this later :-) So when we were finished running around we got home and hung out for a while until TH got home, made some nachos (pork rind nachos for me), and watched a couple of episodes of Orange Is The New Black for movie night. I was seriously tired because I hadn't slept at all so I just went on to bed when TH did instead of going out driving. Oh, and my phone case showed up so I got my new phone all synced and ready to go. It's sooooooo shiny :-)

October 16
Thursday night! Finally :-) TH is off Saturday and Sunday this week so I'm not sure what we're doing yet. Right now I'm planning on driving Friday and Saturday nights, as long as nothing happens. Definitely want to get some of the Halloween stuff put up for sure. Dunno. Either way it will be nice having everyone home together for a while!
So I got home this morning and TK was still awake so we hung out and played a little Pixelmon. Ended up going to bed around 12:00 or so and got up at 7:30. Had leftover buffalo chicken chili type stuff for dinner and hung out with TH until time to come to work. And now I'm here :-P
Oh and and and...this whole Ebola thing is getting a little more worrisome :-/ So the first guy here who had it came from Liberia and got sick after he was here in my state. He died a week or so ago :-( Now 2 nurses who helped take care of him have come down with it, and one of them actually flew to and from a state across the country while she might have been contagious. So now they're looking at everyone she was in contact with to see if they're at risk for getting it. One of the people on her flight lives in a town like 20 minutes away from here. This is about the time where I start wishing I had never read any Dean Koontz, robin Cook, Michael Chrichton type stuff...
Noms for the day: Yep. I haven't eaten the salad or the peanut butter/cocoa/whipping cream thing yet so it might end up being less than that. Still not too bad though.
Song: Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass. I...I kinda hate myself for this one, lol. But it's just so catchy!
Best thing: Thursday night!
Worst thing: Feeling kinda crappy. I've had a headache that I can't seem to get rid of and...intestinal issues again :-(
Woohoo.

October 15
It was nice and cool out this morning when I got off work. I think the high was only like 85 today and the 7 day forecast is full of low 80's and upper 70's for the highs. Yay for fall :-) We still need to work on getting the Halloween decorations up. If nothing else we have to have the giant spider by Halloween, at least. Halloween is always fun!
So I talked to TH on the way home this morning since he was at work. TK was asleep when I got home so I chatted with TH for a little longer then went to bed. Got up when TH got home and hung out with him for a while, played a little Transformers War For Cybertron with TK, then took a quick nap until time to come to work. TH had already gone to bed when I got up so I had to sneak around and gather up my clothes and shit. That's always fun, lol.

Kinda tired tonight. Not really much going on though. It's nice and cool out again though so that's nice. It was 52 when I left work this morning and I think it's supposed to be a little cooler than that in the morning. I think it's probably safe to say that our really hot weather is over. Finally, lol.
So TK was still awake when I got home this morning. Hung out with him for just a little bit then went to bed around 8:00. Woke up at about 1:30 or so and couldn't fall back asleep so I just got up. Played a little GTA V with TK until TH got home, hung out with him for a little bit, then took another nap. They had dinner while I was asleep but I brought mine to work with me. We still had some leftover pork roast but I took the broth that was left in the crockpot and added some cooked chicken thighs, TVP, hot sauce, and mixed veggies to make kind of a buffalo chicken chili type thing. Yay, options! Everyone was asleep when I got up so that was a little weird. Makes me wonder whether TK will be awake when I get home in the morning or not.
Noms for the day: Yay! I basically just kinda guessed on the amounts for dinner. It may not end up being quite that much but I'm still good.
Song: Hozier - Take Me To Church. A new one! I like the song but the video's sad :-(
Best thing: Got the shipping notice today for our new phones. They should be here tomorrow!
Worst thing: Had some...intestinal issues going on earlier. I guess it's just the change in diet? Dunno, but it kinda sucked :-/
Eh.

My first day back on keto! Yay, lol. So far so good, which is awesome. All I really have to do it stick with it because I know it works. Hopefully I can do this!
So, let's see. I stopped by Randall's on my way home this morning and picked up a pork roast, some onions, and some radishes. Got home and threw it all in the crockpot to cook all day. TK was asleep so I stayed up for a little while talking to TH (at work), went to bed around 9:00, and woke up at about 1:30. Got up and vacuumed, did a little cleaning and a load of laundry, and played with TK for a while until TH got home at 3:00. He was supposed to work until 4:00 again but they finally got a new guy trained and the big boss is trying to cut down on the overtime. So that was cool. Hung out with them then took another quick nap around 6:30 or so. And now I'm at work. It's nice and cool out tonight! Last night and most of today was super windy while the cold front was moving through but it's died down now. We did end up getting just a little bit of rain after I got home this morning but nothing like what it looked like on the overnight radar. Seems like most of the heavy stuff fizzled out before it got here. At least the front cooled everything down though :-)

Sunday night, back at work. Yay, lol. Got busy Wednesday and Thursday night and didn't get a chance to write but there wasn't much going on so no big deal really. I ended up not going out driving this weekend so I actually had 2 days off, which was kinda weird. Nice, but weird. So let's see. TK was still awake Friday morning when I got home so we went to HEB to pick up a couple of things, got home and played a little GTA V, took a quick nap until TH got home, and made nachos for dinner. We watched a couple of episodes of Orange Is The New Black and I was still pretty tired so I went on to bed when TH did.
Saturday TH was off so we woke up kinda early and hung out for a while. A cool front moved through overnight so it rained pretty hard off and on for most of the morning. We watched Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls. Lol - bumblebee tuna XD Got out later in the afternoon and went to the AT&T store to look at phones since I still haven't managed to go get mine looked at. I think I've decided that I'm just going to suck it up and buy a 128 Gig iPhone 6. I had been looking at a refurbished 64 Gig 5S but we figured out that it would actually only be about another $150 to get the brand new 6 with double the memory. They have it to where you can either renew your contract and pay a discounted price for the phone or pay full price for the phone in monthly installments and have the option to upgrade again in a year instead of 2. If we paid the discounted price we would lose a $25/month discount per line that we have right now, plus pay a $40 activation fee. Paying it out with installments lets us keep the discount and waives the activation fee. So really it ends up being cheaper in the long run to do the installments and pay full price for the phone. So that's kinda fucked up, but whatever. And of course since we decided to go ahead and upgrade to the 6, they didn't have any in stock. I think we're just going to end up ordering them online, which takes 3 weeks or so because they're backordered. We also added another line to our account for only $15 so I can use one of the old iPhones for Uber and give them their phone back, and not have to pay the $10/week rental fee. Yay! So anyway, we messed around with them then went by Sam's for some stuff. Got home and hung out for a while, ordered pizza, and played TK's new game. He had earned some money for mowing the yard on Friday so he bought Transformers: War For Cybertron. I like :-) We really want to get Fall Of Cybertron because DINOBOTS!!! but it's still a little expensive. Sooooon, lol. I was still kinda tired so I went to bed a little earlier than I had planned.

October 7
Not much going on today. Stopped by HEB on my way home this morning because I wanted Hot Pockets for breakfast, lol. Got home and TK was still awake so we played a little GTA V. He went to bed fairly early but I had trouble falling asleep. I watched a little Netflix and finally fell asleep around 2:30 or so. Sigh. Got up at 8:00 and hung out with TH until time to come to work. And now I'm here.
So Time Warner has been offering a free internet speed increase if you traded in your old modem for a new one. We got the new one and set it up Monday, and sure enough we have faster internet. Yay! But somehow when we hooked it up we managed to fuck up our Minecraft server so we haven't been able to play for a couple of days. Which sucked -/ Finally figured out how to fix it this afternoon so now I can play Pixelmon at work. Yay!
Noms for the day: Hot Pockets, potato chips, and beer for breakfast. Soup for dinner.
Song: Interpol - All The Rage Back Home. A new one!
Best thing: Got today's Lyft summary for the airport ride yesterday. After commission I ended up making $44.80! The dude tipped me $8, too. Score!!
Worst thing: Kinda tired.
Woohoo.
