When the storm has passed you rebuild June 10th, 2007

Empty house...Yep, it is really quiet here.  I don't mind it, but the house is way to big for me, and I see that now.  I don't think I am anywhere near buying one these things.  No family to live with, this is a waste of money and space.  It is weird not having someone around.  I have had roommates for the past 7 years.  This is the first time since the turn of the Millennium that I have been solo.  It is weird, but the storm that Mario created has passed.  I mean he still has all his stuff here, but he will be here or his brother will be here to pick it up over the next few weeks.  I wish him the best, and I hope he figures his shit out, otherwise I have a feeling I will be visiting another gravesite.  I was out riding today and I realized as I passed two cemetaries, that I knew someone who was buried in each of them.  As I get older and realize that I have one shot at life, one shot at happiness, why squander today.  I came home and started working on the house, took the awning down in the front so the new porch can be built...The sun shined on my back and it felt good to be working outdoors again.  A few years ago, I was a laborer.  Now I am an office worker, with a laborer's mentality...LOL...So here is a new stage of my life yet again.  I am solo and plan on staying this way until I meet HER!!!  Who is She?  I have no idea, but I am not looking, I am just going to wait it out and see if what everyone says is true...I will be in another Texas Hold em tourney tomorrow.  Hopefully I win...I will be leaving early in the morning so I can get on one of the first tables.  Last time I went I had to wait a few hours to play.  I hate standing around in a casino.  Oh well, my computer is downloading something, so it is becoming hard to type...Anyways, life is back in order, I have been hitting the apartment search really hard and hopefully will be moved by August 1st.  Hopefully!  My cats are happy to be out of their prison, called my room.  Mia was scared for a few days because she thought the other cats were still around.  She wouldn't come downstairs, and when I brought her down here, she would run back upstairs right away.  Now she is starting to not worry, which is good.  They are good cats and I hated having to keep them locked up.  So like I said when the storm has passed you rebuild...Which is what I am doing...Rebuilding and enjoying every minute of it...New things are good!!!  I hope everyone is alright...
