Well, Friday has arrived, the day after Thanksgiving and as all now know, it is Black Friday. It’s the biggest Shopping day of each year, as Americans look for deals and sales on many items for the upcomming Christmas Holiday, which is next. Be careful, folks, don’t overspend, and hurt your budgets, or your family expenses. It’s easy to go out and look at the salesm, and go oh that cheaper, I can get someone that, and buy iy, and then later look and go, damn I overspent. Money is tight an dit is gonna get tighter as food prices rise, utilities rise and rents too. The Economy sucks folks and it is not gonna get better anytime soon, as long as we are under the Current Administration and President. Instead of taking care of America and Americans, our President wants to solved all the wars in the world and make himself famous for doing so. America first I say.
Next, the NFL Season is now heading into week 13, and looks like we shall have some surprises in the playoffs, as far as teams go. And some surprises as to those we thought would make it and might not. IT’s always interesting to see how it goes each year and many bet on the games, scores and players, me I just watch and save my money. The best part of the NFL an dthe Game sis usually the unpredicatbilty of them. Some ya know who will win, others well ya do get surprised. Who would have thought, going ito week 13, New England would be back in, KC woul dbe on the .500 mark and the Ravens too! Someone explain the Colts rise too please and Denvers too. In the end that is what makes the NFL so much fun to watch.
Ok, whats next, I do not know, for me. I go day by day as many know. I try to get up each day and be as positive as i can, and carryon with a smile on my face when I leave my home. I do my shopping in the same place, very seldom go to Malls or stores i don’t need, and watch as many shut down or move now a days. Next moving is Apple in the Salamon Pond Mall, they are leaving. Money is tight folks and it is gonna get tighter as business’s move to better locations, and try to attract customers. Apple is nop stranger to this mode so to say, they know their proces are high and they need to go to where the money may be. Copmanies like Verizon for instance, coul dbe in trouble also with their higher prices for Internent and Cell Phone Services. They keep raising their Prices, and people keep paying, butt heir services are diminishing in many ways. At some pint elderly Americans like myself will just leave their services and go cheaper somewhere. No Sense paying for what you do not use, and no sense paying extra for something that doesn’t work all the time, when you want it.
Health wise i have been through some ups and downs for sure lately. My Back is not getting any better for sure, Six Herniated discs never will. So I suffer from those. Then I have sciatica in one hip, Blood Pressure problems, sugar problems and more. I survive day to day is all. The Miriacle of it all is somehow I am still going, even after having cancer in 2013 and surviving it, and losing my wife to her cancer. It’s a roller coaster, of determination, emotions, grieving and , high and lows for sure.
I keep being told i should find someone to date or be with, just for companionship. While i like the advice and thought, I also worry and avoid doing so. I worry about losing what I have, money wise, and being used. I also, know at my age of 69, women don’t look to be dating me. I am not Mr. Handsome, nor Mr. Funny, I am not a social butterfly, I am just an average guy is all. So, I basically gave up on finding a female companion, because most want a man for their money, or for their physical abilities to fix their cars or homes, not just to have someone. There is always some demand or want that comes into play. And Yes it does go two ways ladies and I know it. The women do have the same worries and concerns in return. Plus in America today, most are on Dating Apps online, many do not date without them. It’s like a job interview when you go that way, no fun. been there, done that, and I gave up on it all.
So whats next, well, taking care of myself daily. Being comfortable in my own home and skin. Being me! Each dya is a new one folks and when you get out of bed, your eyes open and you can stand and walk and talk and eat, your ok to be on your feet. Make decisions that are good for you and you alone, unless your married of course. Make sure you keep up with your medications, Doctors and if you can exercise as you do. Treta others as you would like to be treated and try to be friendly and nice. I have always believed in that, if you do treat others like you like to be treated, you will be fine. Avoid, trouble, stay legal, and smile some. Makes life a little easier for you and all around you. And Welcome to the Holiday Season of 2025. I pray and hope all have a great Season of Happiness, Joy and Family and Friends. May the Holiday Season bring us all, some Joy in 2025!
