First Friday

First Friday of 2017 and I’m running late, no time to post. Have a great weekend!

Now I’m at work, adding to this post.

The wife had a rough day yesterday, she got to the airport and the ticket counter was already closed by 5 minutes, they wouldn’t let her on the plane, so I bought her another, one way to Miami on a later flight while she was standing at the ticket counter.

She had a very productive day in Miami, but when she tried to return to Grand Cayman, they told her that since she wasn’t on the morning flight, her return was flight was cancelled! What a crock! She was standing at the ticket counter, after being told by the agent that she could buy a one way ticket.

So, after talking to the manager, she finally ended up getting on the flight with her original ticket. (The one way ticket costed about the same as a round trip anyway. a $360)

Sooo, when she finally got ont he plane, it was practically empty.

Anyway, I’m super glad it’s Friday and I hopefully will go diving tomorrow!!!

Have a great weekend!

Different Kinda Morning

Notmally I get up, shave, go do my walk/run/swim, come home, make coffee, shower and post my post. I do all this, when I’m in the house, by flashlight, because The Wife is sleeping.

This morning, The Wife got up early too, because she is going to Miami for work for the day. While I usee a flashlight in the dark, dark mornings, she uses what is called “electriic lights”. 

It was different, coming home from my exercise and finding the lights on.

Then we had a discussion about baby powder. I say it’made out of powdered babies, and she says it’s not. What o you say?

Happy Thursday!

Prediction: US Healthcare Prices

I was chatting with a nurse friend of mine from the US. We were talking about healthcare prices and the skyrocketed cost of Obamacare. She said other healthcares have gone way up in price too.

Prediction: Healthcare prices will not go down, but people will blame Trump for the high prices, even though they’re already high before he takes office.

A merchant sells apples for a dollar each. Another merchant opens an apple booth across the street, and sells apples for ten dollars. Government passes a law that no one can cross the street to buy apples. The one dollar merchant will increase his price too, because he can’t get more customers and beat the other merchant, and in fact, may lose customers because they can’t cross the street antmore.

Notice I said healthcare price, not healthcare cost.

Blogging In The Dark

This is my morning view every workday morning, cuppa coffee, my tablet and my lamp flashlight, doing my blog post.
I get up at 5 AM, walk to the sea, swim if I can and walk home. I make coffee and shave and shower, then sit outside, drink coffee, smoke, and post my post.In these long winter nights, it’s totally dark when I sit down and I’m always surprised to look up and see that it’s getting light.

Today is my first day at work for 2017. I hope it’s a good year.

Last Day Off

24 hours from now, I’ll be back at work. It  was a good  time off, but too short. I built a closet downstairs, still have to do the drywall today. It’s been on my to do list for a long time.

It was a good vacation, and very economcal, 11 days for the price of three!

Have a Happy 2017!

Blog Neglect

I realided this morning that I haven’t posted here since I started my holiday/vacation. It has been great! I’ve been going to the beach, and I’m reading a book. It has been fantastic!

Also, last night we went and saw the new Star Wars: Rogue One. It was good.

2016 is almost over. We lost a lot of famous people this year. Here’s a picture I found, depicting this, minus Carrie Fisher.

Hope you have a great 2017!

Holiday Day 1

I got an unexpected early start to my holiday this year. I got a half day leave approved, then found out today was a half day anyway! So, I got half day off this morning, half day vacation time this afternoon!

Hurray!

Last Full Day of Work

This is my last full day of work before vacation! Looking forward to some time off.

Not much to say. Things are good.

Finally went to bed earlier last night. I woke up earlier but feel good!

My gosh dern phone, for two nights, I think I’m plugging it in to the charger, but it doesn’t go in all the way, and doesn’t charge. So I’ll have to keep it plugged in at work

Have a good day!

21 Dec. Longest Night

After today, the days start getting longer again. Yeay!

Every day this week feels like Friday.

Last night I watched a movie called Pacific Rim. Giant robots fighting giant monsters. What’s not to like?

Didn’t make it to bed early last night, like I planned. I seem to be ok this morning though. The sea was rougher than yesterday, no swim.

Have a great day!

First Christmas Dinner Of The Year

Last night the wife and I were invited to a Christmas Dinner at her Costa Rican friends house. Turkey and all that goes with it. It was very good, and again, we stayed out too late.

Washingtom Redskins lost last night in Monday Night Football to the Carolina Panthers. The Redskins have lost 6 times in a row to the Panthers.I guess the Skins won’t be making it to the playoffs.

It is very very windy this morning. Too rough for my morning swim.

I’m very tired this morning and don’t feel too good.

Bah humbug.
