Woke up this morning (that's always good), and fairly healthy. Managed to get through a LOFT recently, so still have my job. Currently listening to my boy chatting away upstairs and slamming down my fair share of alcohol after some pizza. Looking forward to a Superbowl party tomorrow. Yep, pretty content. Wonder when the other shoe will drop??

yes it does!
Got displaced, then in the last week, got a furlough notice, got laid off from my 2 year relationship (over facebook...and i dont even have facebook, heard through friends before she told me), got sick on a trip and had to spend 24 in TUL, basically my life just crumbled.
HOWEVER, doing my best to see that it'll get put back together better than it was and best of all...
....there's nothing keeping me in St. Louis anymore! I'm outtie!

Got to the fishing pier around 1pm yesterday. It was 64 degrees in SW FL and everyone was bundled up like it was Halifax in winter! Anyway, threw on a sweatshirt and headed out to continue my furlough goal of catching one of every fish in the Gulf of Mexico. It was a little windy (20 knots) and the water was cloudy so I figured it would be a not so good day. Around 4pm the wind stopped, the water cleared, and the fish... they started biting! I caught some mangrove snappers, pinfish, and to add to my list of fish, a puffer and a sheepshead! Two more down on the list of fish to catch! Yayyyyyyy, ME!
Some guys down the dock caught some huge Black Drum! When they left, I tried their spot, but no luck. But hey, I have all the time in the world to try again! (See, optimism!)

Got hired full time AGR with my Guard Squadron. Just got off of DNIF (means you can't fly due to a medical issue) and will fly next week for the first time in about 2 months. I can't wait to get back in the air. I took it for granted I think. Never again.
Things WILL get better. Good times will return. This economy will turn around. Hang in there everyone.

Went and watched the monkeys at the zoo with my girl then ordered some wings and watched the Superbowl yesterday. Even though Warner played the very end of the first half like a retarded 8th grader they almost pulled it out. 
Woke up today with no hangover and my girl cooking breakfast so today is starting off good so far.

Had a blast yesterday. Great game!. Rooting for no one in particular, just for good plays. My liver is ****ed off right now, but it'll get over it. Had some fantastic food, and today doing nothing but reading the paper, posting, and eating leftovers......Oooooooh, the couch is looking sooo good right now!.

My new road bike comes in this morning.
I'm down to 240 from 310 lbs since September. (Went from having a gut overhang to slight love handles.... don't ask about the stretch marks)
I'm making good headway toward a CFI job out here finally.
I have a coffee date with an awesome woman this afternoon.
I didn't watch the superbowl for the first time in my life.
I finally perfected "Castles made of sand" on the guitar, with vocals.
My tax return paid my medical bills and credit card bills.
Its going to be 75 degrees and clear today.
All in all being furloughed doesn't suck right now.
