I Like

This time between Christmas and New Year’s Day when the
University is on recess is my favorite time. It allows me
to come home early in the day without being sick. I can
watch TV or do errands such as going to the doctors
appointments that I have this week. Do some chores or
just relax.

It also reminds me that I have limited time when I am work
to get my stuff done by a certain time. For example I had
work finished from Thursday that needed to be done. I also
had a large volume of lockbox that came probably around 9am
that was unable to finish. Well if you follow this blog
then you know most Mondays I don’t finish it until the next
day. However, I am going to try to make sure things are
done all before the new year. Part of the reason I think I
didn’t get a lot done today was because I was online. When
the post office mail arrived I made a conscientious effort
not to get on as much. As usual not sure it worked.

There were a lot of people today and had a chance to talk
with them. I did get some good news and some bad news.
The good News is Becky gave birth to her second son this
morning. I talked with Patti B and she informed that she
didn’t have the full details but that she would have
pictures tomorrow. Sadly while everyone was celebrating
Christmas Diane G’s sister passed away on Christmas Day.
Elia V is taking up a collection. I promised I would get
it to her tomorrow. I saw Arthur P today and offered my
condolences on the loss of his Mom. There is a collection
for him as well.

I did get a chance to talk with Liz today. We talked about
our holidays and I told her about Todd’s little girl asking
me about gifts for her. She told me another way to answer
her was “your family and friends have all your gifts and
this is for my family”. Liz tells me that Todd and his
family will be moving out West and won’t be here for the
holidays next year. That must be causing a lot of
heartbreak for Adam because they are best friends. Anyhow
we made a tentative date for me to stop by tomorrow
afternoon after my eye doctor appointment to say hello to
Jason and Audrey. I haven’t seen them since Christmas Eve
and it was pretty hectic that night.

After work I went to Savin Rock Roasting Company Restaurant
to pick up Dave’s gift certificate. I saw Walter and his
wife Sandy. We talked about the holiday and about getting
together next weekend. I am not sure if Bob will be
excited over that. As it is I have a full weekend anyway.

When I got home Mom was just working on her computer for
some paper work. She decided we would have spaghetti for
Dinner. I spent the time having some lunch and watching TV
and did some laundry and took a nap.

WE had dinner around 5 and were cleaned up by 6. I went
and watched TV and Mom cleaned up the kitchen and watched
TV. I have been also browsing the net and writing this
entry.

I am so tired now that I just may go to bed. I didn’t get
to sleep until 1 and slept until quarter of seven this
morning. I was contemplating going for another walk like I
did last night but goo intentions of mice and girls….

The one thing that has been prominent in the news since
Christmas Day is that derailed Air Attack in Detroit. The
alleged hijacker was arraigned today. It has President
Barack Obama calling for stringent (or more) stringent
search methods of security. I need to read the articles
more but I don’t want to fly anytime soon.

Well it is time for me to say good night.
