Here we are, last Monday of 2020. It’s the Boxing Day holiday day off, and I’m still on vacation time. The wife is quarantined downstairs until the 6th. I’m back to work Monday the 4th. One week from today, I just realized.

Above are two pictures of the apartment the wife sent. Came out good, I think. It’s a studio apartment, one room and a bathroom with laundry. I really like it.

The plan for today is: my van has a flat tire I need to fix, a little grocery shopping perhaps and beach. It was rough seas all weekend and our dives were canceled.

But it’s a nice day now, so have a good week!

Just finished season one of “The Man In The High Castle“. Very weird, pretty good. USA lost WW2, the east coast is German, the west coast is Japanese. The Rockies are the neutral zone.. And there’s lots of spies. It’s worth watching, better with someone you can discuss it with.

Tomorrow is Christmas. Whoop diddy doo. That’s how I feel about it.

Bad attitude today.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa.

The wife made it in OK, had her first ever covid test at the airport. (I get one monthly at work, the airport) Hers was negative. So, in two weeks she gets another and if it’s negative, she can leave quarantine and come upstairs. And go back to work.

Today I need to head out for cat food because I calculate the holidays will be here when we run out.

Above is a t shirt I love.

Nice day here, AC off, windows open. Have a goodun!

Even though I’m on holiday, I got up early this AM. The wife got up at 3 her time to go to the airport, and I messaged her. Right now we’re both drinking our first cuppa coffee.

She’s coming home today and I think I have everything ready. It will be very difficult social distancing from her for two more weeks.

Have a terrific Tuesday.

At 5:02 this morning, Cayman time, the sun began its journey back to the tropic of Cancer after reaching its southernmost point on the Tropic of Capricorn. The first day of winter for the northern half of this planet. Below is something I knew, and something I didn’t know:

Also on the way back is my wife, who will arrive home from Costa Rica tomorrow, and begin two weeks quarantine in our apartment.

Not on the way back is me, who is on holiday until next year.

So have an easy winter, if you’re in the northern hemisphere, and enjoy the longer days coming.

Last night I watched a movie that I thought was good. Edge Of Tomorrow. It was like Groundhog Day meets The Matrix. (The “Edge” machine monsters reminded me of the Sentinels in The Matrix)

A good plot with plenty of action, shooting, and blowing stuff up. Definitely worth a watch.

Yesterday, I was running late. I didn’t even have time for coffee or posting. By the time I got dressed, it was time to go.

Now it’s Friday, and it’s my last workday of 2020! Commence vacation at home!

It awes me in a bad way that nothing ever goes as planned, nothing is ever easy.

I bought a dozen 18×18 pavers to make a back porch for the downstairs. Lay ’em down, level ’em off, done in an hour. That was the plan. This is the beginning of the third day…

If you look at the picture above, you can tell they’re not all the same size. The six in the middle are seventeen inches and the left three and right three are seventeen and a half. Maybe it’s normal that none of.my 18 inch tiles are 18 inches, but at least they could all be the same size.

Which six do I take back? Biguns or littleuns? I’m sure whichever I pick will be the wrong ones, might as well take ’em all.

In a week, the wife will be back, quarantining downstairs. Hopefully with a little porch she can get some sun and fresh air on.

Have a good Wednesday!

I’m running late late late. Time to head out the door.

Had weird dreams last night, didn’t sleep well.

Water heater quit heating. It was working yesterday morning but not last evening.

Have a good day!

Once, many many years ago, on a blog, I saw a picture of a runned-over soda can on the street. I thought, “how cool and artsy, whoda ever thunk to take a picture of a smooshed soda can?” So below is.my attempt at cool, artsy street photos:

Aren’t I cool now? Are you awed by my artistic eye? Maybe these should be in a museum.

Have a great week!

It’s so cold here, with the doors and windows open, the tile floor is so cold, I need to wear flip flops to keep comfortable feet.

First night of Hanukkah was last night, I went to the JCC for the candle lighting, but it wasn’t there, it was at the mall. I went to the mall and there was no parking, so I came home.

Looking forward to the weekend. I just wanna sleep.

See Ya!
