Blackout!!!!

Well today while at work Harry called to inform me that the electricity went out at the house.. that it had been out for an hour. I called DWP and found out that the power was out in 20 + cities in the valley. I was work until around 9pm and when I got home I figure everything would be back up.. but it wasn't. It's 9pm and 90+ degrees outside. We couldn't open the refrigerator as I didn't want to let any of the cool air out. Luckily Harry has a laptop computer with a DVD player built in and there was some battery life left in it to we sat in the backyard and watched MASH.

It was close to midnight and I was sooo tired that I tempted to go into our super hot bedroom to sleep. It was horrible but I did my best to sleep but moments later the power came back on. The power was out for 6 hours, which is the longest that power has ever been out for me. You don't realize how much electricity means to you until it's gone. It made me appreciate what I have a little more.

Hot, Hot and more Hot

The past few days and for the foreseeable future it's going to be hot here in Reseda... not just hot but over 105 for the next week or so. I like the heat but now that we are living in the house with no central air it's getting hard to stay cool. We have air conditioner in three of the rooms but we can't keep them on 24 hours a day.. or I should say I don't want to keep them on for 24 hours a day $$$$. And the really sad part is Summer is just beginning.

Doctor's Visit

Today I had another Doctor’s visit. I was getting my cholesterol checked, as it was pretty high on the last visit. So they were going to take blood and check everything out. Also they were going to check my testosterone levels, as they have been usually low.

I was telling my doctor about being tired after waking up after an 8-hour sleep the past few months and he said I might have sleep apnea and will have to be tested. For those that don’t know what sleep apnea is, it’s when you stop breathing while sleeping and your body wakes up and makes you breath, he said this can be happening 1000’s of times a night. It’s kind of a scary thought and I plan on getting tested.

Everything else looked good.. Dr. Mills was very happy with my blood pressure, as it was much lower then last time… 140/82

Now I just need to lose some weight and lower my cholesterol and all will be well.

Gay Weddings

Today is a great day in California history. Same sex weddings are now legal. California is only the second state in the US to legalize same sex marriages. Of course there are those who are fighting it and there will more then likely be a proposition on the November ballot banning same sex marriages again.

Many have called me and asked now that same sex marriages are legal in CA I can sponsor Harry for immigration. But immigration is ran by the Federal government and they still have marriage as a union between a man and a woman so the CA ruling really won't change that status.

As for Harry and I changing our Commitment Ceremony into a wedding, with Harry's immigration status we are looking into it... I'll keep you posted.

Happy Father's Day

Today Harry and I took my Dad out to lunch and shopping for Father's Day. It was a nice visit.. Happy Father's Day Pops...
