Snake Sunday

The Sci-Fi channel has decided, through it’s programming, that today is snake Sunday. They have played four snake movies back to back – some better then others but all entertaining. I’m taping them as well as watching them as I can.

I can say, without reservations, that I’m going to be snake paranoid for the next couple of days. It is amazing the things snakes can get into. I realize, of course, that they are only movies…all way too far-fetched to ever happen…but still. I’m not a huge snake fan – I pretty much prefer the crocodile or other monsters over the snakes but will watch what Sci-Fi has on.

Tonight at 9pm, they switch from snakes to ants. I have a new disc ready for the ant movie – this one will be full at the end of this current movie. I do so enjoy these “b” sci-fi movies – they are so much more entertaining then the ones at the theaters. No, the graphics aren’t near as good – which is why I go to the movies now and then – but you have to admit, movies like “Jaws” were scary in their day. These “b” movies use the same effects as the older monster movies which is nostalgic for an old coot like me.

No Nap For Me

Tried to take a nap – didn’t go over well. For some reason my legs ache when I try to sleep in the recliner. I think it is time to get rid of it.

Am making a roast for supper. I figured it would be the last big meal I make in my condo as my electric skillet is not making the journey to Iowa with me. The roast has been cooking now for 2 hrs – another hour or so and it should be ready. I love roast.

I’m cleaning and getting stuff out of the condo today – I’m going to try to get rid of the rest of the stuff this weekend (Sun-Tues) so that I can do the shampooing the week after next. Really don’t have that much more to take out that is large – now it will be the little stuff that goes to Goodwill such as the dishes, clothes, appliances, etc.

Baxter is sitting in one of the little tubs I was storing stuff in under the kitchen sink. He is so sweet. I finally got a picture of it – he kept getting out every time I went for my camera. He is so adorable.

Haven’t received any emails today – everyone must be out having fun or something.

Arg!

Why would I, in my right mind anyway, agree to work 16 hours? I don’t really know what I was thinking except that it gives me tomorrow off…not that I’ll be doing much but sleeping.

Its been a busy day – but its all pretty much drained away into the abyss – that black hole in my head. I was going to take notes but then figured some of the calls were unbelievable anyway.

We had a cat stuck 20 feet or higher in a tree – we had a 12+ ft alligator that a caller wanted relocated because it gave her nightmares – and a lady who called because a convertible driver in the lane next to her not only had his music too loud, he was singing along but kept messing up the words.

We had a girl who threatened to hang herself – a jet ski accident between a 14 yr old and a 12 yr old (why were they out on jet ski’s without parents???) – an armed robbery – and a man who swore he was a confidential informant and kept calling in to report “tips” about drug problems. He was nuts.

Its been a long, trying day with less then an hour to go. I am so ready for it to be over. I’ve been trying to decide if I should stay up and take Baxter for a walk in the morning, then go to bed or if I should go straight to bed. {sigh}
