30 Day Writing Challenge, #22 My Mornings

I have two morning routines. One for the Monday to Friday and one for the weekends and holidays. They are kinda similar but I will explain both. First off I never used to be a morning person, but my little buddy / dog Kato changed that! It used to be 10 - 11 was time to get up and 715 on week days just enough time to shower and get to work was good. Not no more!

Weekdays go like this. My alarm is set for 555. The truth is my neighbour sets his alarm off at 500 so usually I lay awake pondering nothing but maybe writing something in my head that may or may not make it to paper. Funny how my stories or blogs are usually written in my head in bed before I fall asleep or get up or in the shower. Anyway at 555 I get up. My dog bolts out of his kennel. I pee and if I am checking my blood I poke. Then we go to the boulevard for him to pee. If it is winter we actually put on a jacket if not sometimes we go in our boxers. He growls at any bunny or bird while he pees. Then we come in and he gets his breakfast. I nuke a cup of coffee or make a new pot depending on what we got. I check facebook and wait for him to eat. Then he attempts a poop but usually nada. Then I shower and make breakfast. We turn on the news and see what awful thing happened in the world yesterday. BY now Chelsea has gotten up. We don't talk a ton in the AM. She ain't a morning person and I am leaving. I usually give her a kiss goodbye, pet the dog and drive to Timmies. Then 15 minutes later I make it to work 5 minutes late....

Weekends Kato decides when we get up so 615 - 630 ish. Starts of the same, I pee then he does. Then he eats. The difference is on weekends no matter what a pot of coffee goes on. I like coffee. Then NHL2014 (Yes I am on the old system and way behind) goes in the Xbox. I play till Chelsea gets up. (I have been every record ever so suck it Gretz!) Then I play another one or two while she checks facebook. Then I check my office lotto tickets, there is an app for that. Also $10 is our best winning in 4 years. So I put in roughly $1456 with 0 return. I write for an hour or so and then make some breakfast. By then it is between 10 - 11 and I start my day!

SO that's it, I ain't that exciting in the morning. Sure I contemplate  working out or something but I would rather relax.

Edmonton / Highway of Tears

This was going to be a small paragraph in a bigger random blog but it grew really fast and the fact is I thought it was rather interesting so it will be post of its own. I decided to add some of these womens names. I once heard a pod about Jack the Rippers victims, that humanized them. I think thats what should be done, why glorify freak shows and forget about the people who suffered because of them. Also I added a bit more as I was just going to, just quickly mention Edmonton but I think it is bigger than that. Also still cannot find a legit decent looking charity to donate to for MMIWG.... Msg me if you know one! IS there a serial killer in Edmonton? Or was there one active? On another long drive home I came across podcasts on EPS, which led to pods on what they called the Edmonton - Leduc murders. Which if you have been around Edmonton for awhile I know you have heard of. I just was unaware of the amount and length of time this had been going on. First thing though not all these mur

Alberta Politics Pre 2019 election

Ahh that lovely time every few years when we see the worst in all people is upon us! That's right elections are coming! The brutal truth is both federally and provincially we are going to see shit get nasty. From both sides, let's not pretend anyone is innocent. This is all I am going to say on politics for awhile, at least until elections OR if something crazy happens. I really need to concentrate on actual writing. Not twitter bickering with people. So here is it my thoughts on the current federal and provincial politics. (Breaking this into 2 parts. This one is going to be just media and Alberta) First let's start with the sideliners. The media and the peanut gallery. Rebel Media OR Chicken little media. Whichever you want to call them is fine by me. It has been years now I was blocked for using common sense or not drinking the Kool-aid by Ezzie and the Rebel account. I can say I never dropped into name calling or anything like that with either, but I guess not believi

Part 3 Addiction

So, I have stated first, we need the correct systems in place, and second, we need healthy citizens for a better society. One of the root problems in society, though, is addiction. A mental health problem that can lead to so much more. Family violence, crime, homelessness, job loss, and on and on. There is no cure for addiction. There is management, and there are many things we can do much better to help addicts and society. So, let's tackle this one next.  I like drinking! I like the taste of a good whiskey or red wine. Or the supposed "no taste" of good vodka. I like that little boost of confidence that tells me, hell ya, you can dance! Or the fact that, yes, after a long day, it does take an edge off. I have a ton of great memories of times when booze was around... The flip side of that is I'm not too fond of hangovers. I hate not knowing what happened the night before; I guess there is a term for this now: hangxiety. Some of my worst memories and things I hate abo
