Last Day of June 2010

Spending the day taking pictures of my collection. Watching movies. And this is just the loose stuff from the bottom of the closet. I still need to unpack 20 boxes from the other side of the closet and clean off the shelf at the top of the closet.
Plus take pictures of all the stuff I bought last July. I bought a ton of stuff for the Rise of Cobra movie. I did enjoy the movie and I do like the toys. The time came a few months later when I realized that the toys and spending the money was no longer what I wanted in my life.

The time has come for me to purge my life. I no longer want to own more than one load for the Back of the Truck.

Time spent in June 2010

Days in Month: 30
Days at Work: June 2, 3, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 26, 27
Vacation Days: June 5, 6, 23, 24, 29, 30
Sick Days: June 1, 10, 11, 21
Days off: June 4, 7, 12, 13, 19, 20, 25, 28
Work days: 12
Days off: 18
For some reason, I thought I had taken a lot more days off this month. Still 3:2 ratio is high. Next month is going to be about the same.
Netflix Instant Streaming Recently Watched is close to 100. This is a combination of movies and television shows. That much movie watching is not good. I took maybe 2 walks this month. Most of this month has been spent in bed.
I did work on the three projects I have been putting off. Toys are being photographed and put online. Paperwork has been scanned and shredded. Comic books are slowly being offered for sale.
Time spent on my days off when I was not lying in bed. I should have gotten a lot more done than I did.

Metal Box

 I made this a long time ago in Metal Shop. This would have been in Middle School. So, twenty-two years ago or so. I am surprised I still have this thing after all this time.

GI Joe for Sale

I am selling my whole collection minus a few pieces. And even those might go. I opened my big closet for the first time in years over the weekend. I had forgotten how much stuff I had bought since I moved to Seattle. There are boxes I have not looked inside since 1989 or was it 1993. Taco Bell boxes that were loaded full of toys. I wonder what other stuff I will find in those boxes now that I am ready to sell everything.

Funhouse Seattle June 19, 2010


I went out for drinks with Emily. Then we went to a show at the Funhouse.


I saw part of the Plain Jane set.

I stayed for all of Chinese playing.




















Played some basketball. And left my basketball out on the court.


Then I took off to go back home.

Union Meeting at DTH

Sitting at DTH at a Union Meeting.

I did make brownies this morning for work. Brought the leftovers to the meeting. I am hoping someone takes them off my hands. I do not need to eat any brownies.

Three slices of pizza filled me up.

Need to decide what to do after the meeting tonight.

Sun Liquor for the Win

I meant to go home after work. The day is Thursday and I do have to work tomorrow but drinks over rode that decision. Being that I have been good over the last two weeks, not that I wanted to be good, caused me to stay on the bus and get off in front of Sun Liquor.

Drinks are good tonight. I need to go home. Make some brownies, do some laundry, do some scanning.

Taking some mini vacations leading up to three weeks off in July. At some point I will have Zero vacation balance but at this point I do not care.

I did talk to my supervisor at work today and explained my concerns. That is why I am taking some mini vacations.

Thrift Store Run

Stuff I loaded up Saturday morning for a run to the thrift store. The stuff is still sitting in the back of the truck on Thursday. Rain has fallen and the folders are not looking good. Nor is the box of electronics. Good thing I put the open tote in the cab of the truck.

Belt Buckle

I broke my belt buckle on Wednesday June 2nd. I looked in a lot of places but did not have much luck finding a simple buckle. Belts were not easy to find either.

June 9th, I went to Pike Place Market and found a booth that sells buckles. I forgot my belt at home so was not able to get a buckle that day.

June 13th I took my belt back down to Pike Place Market. The woman that works the booth picked a silver buckle for me. Not quite as solid as I would like but the buckle on a leather belt is better than using the web belt.

World Cup Cake

On Saturday before the England versus USA World Cup match, I frosted a cake to look like the pitch. I was going to find a keychain ball in the middle but I found Football Smurf. Much better option

Clothes Shopping with my Mother


From a walk in April, the shorts that got replaced

Saturday June 5, 2010 I went for a walk around town in the morning. When I got home, I discovered that my woodland camo shorts had worn out. On Monday when my Mom was in town, I asked her to take me clothes shopping. I needed some new cargo shorts for my walks. I was also looking for a new belt buckle to replace the one I broke. I had no luck finding a buckle but I did find some new shorts.

I had on my skinny pants which at this point in time are a size 48. My old shorts were a lot bigger than that. I figured I should go down in size from my skinny pants as well. (a little loose and getting looser)My mom asked if they were going to be loose enough. I said, "Little tight right now but give me a week." I think a week was too optimistic.

I tried on a size 44 and had a little room to spare. Not enough to go down another size. I do need some flexibility while I walk. Crouching was also comfortable. The shorts also came with a nice gray belt. Now I could get rid of the brown belt that I had been using for my walks.

So no luck on that day for a belt buckle but I did get some new cargo shorts.
