It was a good weekend.
Friday I passed test two of my real estate exam.
Saturday The Wife and I harvested our first bananas, bought a new kitchen faucet. We stayed out late Saturday night.
Sunday we drank a LOT of coffee, and installed aforementioned faucet and three out of the four American football games went my way.
We even had a little much needed rain!
Can’t complain about the weekend.
Work today though, I could complain plenty about that!
I almost typed “Friday” for the title, There’s probably several that have already been given the same name.
But it is Friday! Hooo-Ray!
Today I have to take part 2 of the real estate test. I do not have high confidence on passing. I found the section on contracts most confusing and contradictory at times.
Tomorrow is mini golf with friends followed by food and American football. Hopefully that’ll be it for weekend plans. I just want to veg out.
Here’s a tip. Get some of the cheap hot chocolate mix that comes in the pouches. Make it using coffee instead of hot water. Super good!
Have a good weekend!
I made that up, years ago so I could remember the order of the planets in our solar system.
The reason I was thinking about this is because this morning I was thinking about a photo I saw of Earth and the Moon, taken from Mars, and that I’d like to see one of Jupiter from Mars.
Right now I’m sitting outside, drinking coffee, looking at the Moon and Jupiter, side by side.
On Monday, this week looked insurmountable, now it looks like we might make it to the weekend.
Our houseguest leaves today.
Got a new camera before Christmas. First time I took it in the water was yesterday.
I had been waiting for “the right time” to get it wet, but the right time never came. So I took it out yesterday. It was rough and wavy and murky, but I took it out anyway.
It is much better than the old camera!
Ditto the Dawg took a big fall down the stairs this morning. He didn’t want me to help him down but I should have anyway. He’s so old. He’s OK, he just knocked over a table and made a really loud noise.
Have a good Tuesday!
It was a good weekend, they’re always good.
We have a visitor here from Minnesota. It’s super cold up there. She’s been sick. Yesterday was her first day at the beach. I didn’t go, I was home, clearing the branches off trees that hang over into our yard. I cut a lot of wood! It made a huge difference in the back half of the back yard, it’s much brighter. Maybe some grass will grow there now.
Kinda not looking forward to work today, first full week of the year, first week in a few weeks. Hope it doesn’t seem too long, or too painful. The wife has the day off, she’s going to Rum Point with Martina, our guest.
I’m sitting here on the back porch, under an orange light bulb, watching the full moon go down behind the trees. It’s just starting to get light. Faint glow. Did you ever notice that in the winter the moon follows the path of the summer sun in the sky? And in summer the moon follows the path of the winter sun? That’s why it’s winter here and summer in New Zealand.
I feel like I could go on for a long time, but that’ll do for today! Have a good week!
Back to work in 2015, at least it’s Friday. Not sure it’s a good thing, having the first workday being a Friday, or a taint of the good name Friday, having the first workday fall on it. I chose the former, as I am glad it’s not MONDAY!
We have a visitor from Minnesota for a week, my wife’s friend she met when she worked in Mexico. She’s nice, I like her. Minnesota…. No human could ever survive in Minnesota. It’s so cold, if you went outside naked, you would die.
We stayed home New Years, first year we didn’t have a party. We did walk up the road and saw some friends about 9PM though.
Last night I dreamed I took a friend to a drug/alcohol treatment center to drop them off. Then I couldn’t get out. The place was a fortress with hundreds, if not thousands, of “inmates”. I couldn’t get out because nobody could find the boss, who had the key to the front gate. She was passed out because she “took a shot of Valium”. Happy 24th AA birthday to me. 24 years without a drink and I’m not even thirsty! Yup, Jan 02, 1991.
That’s it for my first post of 2015. Happy New Year!
