The Lost 10 Minutes

Posted on by

I didn’t post yesterday,, I was running 10 minutes late for some inexpicable reason Day befoore yesterday, I posted and look at my watch and it was 10 minutes later than I expected.

Something in my morningis consumning an extrea 10 minutes.

On a different note, I like my Kindle Scribe, but I’m pretty peeved that my case was lost. Amazon said they’d email in 48 hours and they haven’t. The Scribe seems pretty worthless without the case. I don’t expect to get the caae I ordered, and I didn’t want to order another of the same, in case it was a purposeful fipoff. So I ordered two different cases, in case one gets ripped off again. If I get both, maybe on will fit inside the other… Insane.

Anyway, it’s Saturday night, late. I’ll talk to you Monday morning, unless I lose the 10 minutes again.

Wait A Few Days

Posted on by

I have no idea what I’m going to post about today.

Refering to yesterday and my lost Kindle Scribe case, there is no employee by the name given by the Amazon driver. And the office wasn’t even open that day it was allegedly delivered. Amazon is looking into it, and will email me in a few days, but my gut says gone.

Also missing is a Washington Commie shirt. Allegedly delivered by DHL. My delivery agent says it’s probably at the post office, we should wait a few days..

So I’m waiting a few days….

Its almost Friday, unfortunately there is allegedly a nuther weather system moving in to spoil the weekend..

c’est la vie. That’s French. It means Say La Vee. Say La Vee means: Don’t lose any sleep over it.

Ciao (That’s Italian. It means Chow, see you at suppertime!)

Girl Finds Megalodon Tooth!

Posted on by

I think this is a great story. Imagine how happy she must be.

I remember when I was about the same age, i ran away from home. I didn’t make it too far when I found this excellent disc of a rock. Well, I had no choice, I had to go back home and put it in my rock collection. (I used to want to be a geologist). That rock is sitting on my dresser right now, i use it as an incense burner for my cone incense. It’s been everywhere I’ve ever lived with me.

i got the Kindle Scribe yesterday, i love it. But the case didn’t arrive. It apparently was delivered to “My Agent” in Miami, and I expected it, but alas, woe is me. In the meantime I’m using an old sleeve to keep it in.

Well, its hump day. Have a great, great great day!!!

My Agent

Posted on by

Today is the day I should get my new Kindle Scribe . I’m more than a little excited about it! You can write and take notes on it I have notebooks and papers all over where I write stuff and perhaps it will work out to keep everything in one place.

I use a brokerage service, my orders get shipped to Miami, and they shipmthem here, bring it through customs and handle all the hassle, then I pick it up from them. Well last afternoon, after working hours, i got the email from customs saying I had a shipment, and my agent or I needed to come pick it up. Well, I’m sending my Agent

I reckon they’ll go today and pick it up.and if they don’t feel like torturing me too bad, I’ll get it today. If not, tomorrow!

Have a great day!

First Full Week

Posted on by

it’s the first full week of 2023. Five full days of working bliss! Hooo RAY!

Above is the first harvest from my Otaheite apple tree. 1 lb, 14 oz. I haven’t eaten one yet. I feel like I should give some to my ex-wife, she started the tree from a seed.

Next weekend is a half mile swim on Saturday and the 5K Dog Walk/Run on Sunday. I haven’t been training for either. Both are do-able without training for me, but I definitely want to get out and swim a few times this week I’ll swim to swim and walk the run.

Have a fantastic week!

A Man Called Ove

Posted on by

I finished the book “A Man Called Ove” yesterday. It was Fantastically Supergood! It’s about a grumpy old man, his wife has died and he got laid off work. He keeps trying to commit suicide and getting interrupted by his new neighbors, a young family of four (and a half). And a cat adopts him.

i read half this book in one day, mostly on the beach, laughing out loud in public like a psycho. Also getting teary eyed quite a few times.

This book was super good. One of my all time favorites (I’ve said that two books in a row now). This book is so good, they’ve made it into a movie.

I am very much looking forward to this movie! I recommend the book, probably the movie too, I’ll let you know.

Happy First Friday of 2023! Have a great weekend, unless you have made other plans! 🙂

Brushing Your Teeth

Posted on by

When do you brush your teeth? I brush my teeth at night before bed, and I assume almost everybody else does too. But when in the mornings?

But what about other times? Do you brush your teeth in the morning when you first wake up? Do you brush your teeth after breakfast before you go to work? Do you brush your teeth in between sips of coffee?

I’ve been trying to decide when is the best time to brush your teeth in the morning. When I first wake up, I haven’t eaten anything since I last brushed my teeth, so it doesn’t make sense really to brush them again and then go eat breakfast and drink coffee.

I also have a toothbrush and toothpaste at work and sometimes we’ll brush my teeth there. It’s nice to be able if it feels needed

I brush my teeth immediately before bed, and at some point before I go to work in the morning. I’m trying to figure out when, in the morning, is the best time, precisely, to brush one’s teeth?

What say you about morning toothbrushing?

Round 2

Posted on by

First day back to work is done. Ready for round 2. Today is a “must swim” day. I get to feeling like I must swim and have gone in pouring rainstorms before. Today is a must swim day, and it won’t be raining! (I don’t think).

Have a wonderful day!

Back To Work 2023

Posted on by

Well, its back to work this morning. I’m looking forward to getting back to the routine

Yesterday was my 32nd birthday. I entered the program when I was 30, 32 years ago.

Surprising this morning, rain. It was wet when I went out for my morning exercise, but cloudlessly clear when I walked the dogs. Just now a 30 second, heavy rain shower passed by. Surprising. It’s good!

If you’re back to work for the first time this year, good luck Enjoy. Attitude is everything. It’s going to be a good day!
