ZzzZz getting ready to roll down to Boca Chica for the week

user name fits

Today is the DAY. I feel it. Deep down in my bones.

• Nearby coworkers all talking old people stuff like "getting new readers"
• Chorizo and eggs for breakfast this morning
• Fiance and I are still trying to get caught up on Stranger Things. She's on late Season 2 (I've watched 1-4 but wanted to rewatch before doing 5), so the real creepy stuff hasn't hit yet
• We absolutely killed it at the Christmas party we went to this weekend. It was decades themed and we did '90s.
• She found some stuff for a Clueless look while I went the Kelly Bundy, ready to go clubbing and make bad decisions route
• No, you may not see pictures

Don't do anything I wouldn't do!

19 degrees on the dog walk this morning. My breath froze in my beard. Work.

- 6 hours back to Corpus
- Nephew can snore the dead awake
- 86 year old father in law tripped and fell by the campfire last night, thankfully not IN the fire, but he was bumped and bruised
- I see a jacuzzi in The Wife and my future this evening

Ain't deer huntin' fun?

Mom had invites to two Christmas parties yesterday evening. We went to both. Great houses for each, especially the second on. Some great Christmas outfits as well. And good food.

Then we drove around and looked at Christmas lights. It was a good night.

Heading back today.

• Slept good.
• It's chilly outside.
• Yesterday I got the tree decorated and 2 small inflatables outside put up.
• I have got to get busy on travel work this week - I didn't end up working this weekend.
• Several meetings today.
• Read a chapter in a book this afternoon.
• Travel work this evening.

Make it a great day!

26 degrees in central Texas this morning- love it
Coffee
Early morning safety conference call
Light day after that
10 days till Christmas

Clear and 14F when I woke up this morning. Put on all of my layers and bought coffee. Will shed some of them as we're warming to 44F today. That would be 24 degrees warmer than yesterday.

Benny asked me for a pecan pie yesterday at Gerbes. They're just not good, and I said no. The filling is lacking a certain zing and has blandness to it. With Christmas coming up, this morning I ordered a pecan pie from Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana. At Thanksgiving, a kind GB poster sent us two pies (one pecan and one chocolate pecan) from there, and they were both terrific.

My 9:35 meeting was moved to 10:35. It's the only remaining meeting of my day. I'm using vacation days Tuesday and Friday this week. At my company, you lose any vacation you haven't used on 1/1, so everyone burns it all in December (making it terribly difficult to get anything done).

- I tried to google image search a massive rash on my leg and it wouldn't search because it said it was against content guidelines so pretty sure it thought it was a butt.
- Long, itchy travel day yesterday. Pretty sure it's eczema, but I've never had it before so, neat?
- Unpack + adjust back to life today.

Travel with a rash
It had to be unpleasant
New pics of Gus please

Sinuses are draining plus the usual coughing here in west Georgia/east Alabama where morning temps plunged to 17. Should be low 60s by Thursday.

A good day starts with good coffee.

Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.

"That's what you get for going to Chicago and hanging out with hairy legged boys." [/my dad]

That sounds like something my dad would say too!

I like the haikus.

Here's a grainy pic of Gus from the doorbell camera coming to visit while I was out of town.

He missed his neighbor.

Warmer, sunny day in west Georgia/east Alabama today.

Make it a good one in spite of what the rest of humankind is up to.
