Good morning. It is MOVIE DAY at the theater and there was some uncertainty. Yesterday I went to the mall and purchased an item and I'm thinking very strongly of returning it. I was thinking of doing so today but it would coincide with the theater. Now I can return it after the theater, however I try to avoid people in a line. I shall probably end up going later to return it. Fortunately, my selection at the theater has an early starting time, 9:05 AM. I may update this story at a later time. By the way, there should be excitement in my neighborhood today as it is also Garbage Day due to the holiday earlier in the week. I'm not certain if I shall be participating.
It is fairly warm for this time of year in my backyard overnight, 32°. I was hoping that some of the snow on the street would melt so I can get back to my exercise protocol early in the morning. I think we're going to have another day of 40°. If we can get the sun to make an appearance, I think we could get the snow to go away. I'm on a countdown to spring.
Have a good day on this the eve of the weekend. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning on this Thursday morning. Due to the holidays, GARBAGE DAY is being postponed until tomorrow. It takes away the excitement of the day as usually Thursday is not very prominent. I was not planning on doing so, but I'm thinking of activating my motor vehicle and going on safari to the mall and maybe a grocery store. That shall be a game time decision. Being that it is 18°, it is going to warm up to about 40°later today, it gives me hope and ambition to get out of my sequestration. Like I said, game time decision.
Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy HUMP DAY. Usually a bad hair day after the New Year Day. It is about 16° out and I really don't know how it feels as I have postponed throwing the water out until later. People will be getting back into their ordinary life after an extraordinary holiday season. I have had a chance to preview the weather and later this week, on Friday and Saturday, rumors are rampant about the temperature reaching into the 40's. Excitement knows no boundaries.
I really don't have any formal agenda for today. I am waiting with bated breath for my bank statements to arrive on line for my next project. So you could say my year is off to a slow start. If ambition were to overcome my boredom, I might actually continue straightening up the house in my effort to find items I want to scan for eternity. In either case, I would imagine you people that have lives have things to do and jobs to go to. Ciao for now in watch your wallet!
Happy New Year Eve. Periods of snow. Temps nearly steady around 30. E winds shifting to N at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 90%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected. So when going out tonight, be prepared for the weather. Tuesday is rumored to be 6*. Not a way to bring in the new year. We will never see you again 2018.
Good morning. It is the last Sunday of the year. Make it a good one. It seemed cold this morning on my exercise route. The first thing I notice when opening my door was the storm door frosted up. The only time it becomes like that is when there is a wind and cold. I then went out and it seemed a lot colder than yesterday. The temperature was only 3° colder than yesterday, 17°. However, the windchill was 5°. And I guarantee you there was some wind, although not as bad as it could've been. It was a real trial jogging into the wind. Even going away from the wind, the cold seem too cut a person's clothing and made it seem colder. I eventually conquered my cowardice and won the day.
I have no agenda for the rest of the day. I may take a constitutional around the neighborhood because there is a rumor going around that the temperature will rise to 35°. I was surprised this morning to see a clear sky where I could count the stars in the sky. It is very seldom that I am able to complete my count in the time taken to complete my exercise. Tomorrow I shall have to invent an agenda as I shall have to activate my motor vehicle out of the garage because of the engagement I have to go to church later in the day. It is always trying to get a vehicle out of the garage because I have to lift the garage door for various reasons. I remember one time I actually walked to the grocery store which is about a mile away because I was too lazy to get the car out of the garage.
Have a good Sunday. My current status: in my READY ROOM; drinking the good coffee; listening to the stereo; composing communiques; and preparing to watch football later today. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy Saturday. The last weekend of the year. Make it a good one. I managed to get out for my exercise this morning. It was somewhat cold, 20°with a windchill of 13°. Fortunately, there was no wind and it made it acceptable. While I was on my route, I came across my first Christmas tree cast asunder by someone who thinks Christmas is over. At least they had a real tree. My agenda for today is a mixed bag. Later today, I have the usual church obligation. This morning I may make a safari to the mall for no other reason than to audit people who are out there. People seem to go out there for various reasons. Shopping, exercise, meeting other people, and that kind of thing. It is always interesting to get into the real world sometimes. I'm also planning on my safari to stop at the grocery store and see what they have that might interest this writer. It is not a question of need; but a statement of want. I've already checked my status at the bank and found out I had the necessary transactions needed for my increase in interest rates.
I leave you now in the hopes that you can make it to the new year without posing for a mug shot. Have a good day. I am drinking the bad coffee and waiting for daylight in my READY ROOM. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning on this Friday morning. We are moving closer to the new year where one will have to completely change the calendar. I have secured all three of my new calendars and had actually installed two of them. The one that is not installed does not have the month of December for this year on it and therefore cannot be installed safely.
MOVIE DAY has been canceled due to a lack of interest. There is nothing playing I wish to see. It will make more of a relaxation today where the pressure will not be on this writer to be on time. I'm off to a good start this morning, although a late start for various reasons. But considering I have no real life, it is almost impossible to be running late. I did not think I would be able to get out for my exercise protocol this morning due to the weather, rain. However, upon rising I noticed it had stopped raining. I thought I would give it a try and see if I could at least get a couple of miles in. I actually exceeded my goal. I was out over an hour which indicates a good exercise. During that time, I noticed a mist every so often. Nothing major, just a mist. I completed my protocol and reentered my FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. I was an my domicile for approximately 20 minutes when I heard something resembling rain on my shingles. I have now had a chance to preview the weather for today and it is not good. Icy rain this morning, changing to snow this afternoon. I was thinking of organizing a safari to the grocery store but that shall be a game time decision. For those of you who received a book as a Christmas gift from this writer, you have to return it to the library in about a week. It is due back at that time. I was just going to buy the books at a bookstore but it is so much more convenient to get the books at the library.
Yesterday, Thursday, was a sad day indeed. The second anniversary of Carrie. In my neighborhood, despite the rain, crowds were milling around the monument to Carrie, and her mother. Some of the people brought flowers and such. Fame is fleeting, but not when they build a monument to you.
I leave you now in the hopes that you have a good weekend, this the last weekend of the year. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Garbage Day has been postponed due to a holiday appearing before Garbage Day. It is 35° out, and that is pretty warm for this time of year. It has been raining all night, and that is the good news. It could have been snow. In either case, that has restricted my use of the outside. Fortunately, I managed to get in a long walk yesterday. I ordinarily do not take walks competitively, however, there are no men's facilities along the way and so one does not to dawdle. In either case, everything went well and I felt like I got some exercise in. Psychologically I am prohibited from jogging during the day. This morning I am drinking the good coffee. Since I do not plan on going anywhere, I feel I can sit back and enjoy the coffee. Last night was the finishing touches on my final serving of salmon. It went well including my baked potato. It was not rotten.
I hope everyone scored big yesterday on BOXER DAY. A lot of sales, a lot of money being pushed across the aisle. I did not attend any of the events. As previously stated , I shall not be going out and doing anything today unless there is a cessation of the rain. I'm too lazy to get the car out of the garage. Have a good day. Live long and prosper. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy Boxing Day. I have done some study on this subject and it seems to me that all it is is another day for store owners to have a sale and take some more money. I really never heard of this until I entered the Internet. This is mostly something for Her Royal Majesty's subjects. In either case, time for the great populations to head to the stores and take advantage of the huge sales. I went out at about 3:30 AM, and surprisingly it was warm for this time of year. 30°. It is just too bad that there is snow which has prohibited this writer from going out and getting some exercise. I did a brief preview of the weather for today and there is supposed to be some rain later. Hopefully it will not freeze.
Last night I made salmon again. This time the potato ended up fairly good. I think I published about the potato being partially rotten for my salmon meal on Sunday. I had to eat around the part inside which was almost tainted. I think I could've done it but there was no sense in ruining a meal where salmon was prepared. I have one more serving of salmon and will most likely be preparing for my evening meal tonight. We did not get much snow, I published some pictures of the snow with a broom indicating I was able to sweep it. There's just enough which gives me the ability to complain for medicinal purposes.
Have a good day. I am planning on continuing my seclusion in my FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, with maybe a constitutional around the neighborhood. Always good to get out for conversation not electronically produced. And then of course I can hear about what people got for Christmas. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
