Another Saturday Night | lostinmyownhome's Blog

Saturday night, and I am alone in my basement again.  That is becoming the norm for me, I guess.  My daughters are both out somewhere, my son is asleep, my soon-to-be-ex-wife is in her room.  She was supposed to go out tonight with an old high school boyfriend, but she changed her mind, I guess.  Wonder what happened to Mr. Wonderful?  Maybe he is the reason she cancelled tonight.  Anyway, I have been working on the house wiring again, trying to get as much of it as I can replaced.  I'll run to the store in the morning for some more wire and boxes.  Turned the boiler on tonight, and did a safety check on the old thing.  Been getting pretty cold at night.  Feels good to have the heat on, but that means my gas bill will be climbing.  Had a pretty good paycheck this week, been getting quite a bit of overtime.  Paid for concert tickets and a hotel room for my two daughters upcoming trip to Chicago.  Took all my kids out to breakfast this morning, then bought some groceries, and got my son some school clothes.  I'll spend the day tomorrow doing more wiring, and doing my laundry, maybe get my lawn mowed one last time before the weather turns too cold.    Hope to have time soon to start putting plastic on the windows, and get the attic cleaned.
