It’s the day after Christmas, 26 December 2022, and a grayish Monday with the sun just starting to peak out from behind the eastern cloud bank. I woke up to Lisa and Bonnie watching an old black-and-white movie with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and Katherine Hepburn… and I have no idea what the title is… it’s certainly a movie I have never seen before.
Coffee is being, so I’ll grab a cup in a few. Yesterday I was gifted with a couple of new coffee cups… I later found out it was part of a concerted effort by family members to convince me to give up an old favorite mug with that has grown faded and has a little chip on the edge – the chip isn’t where I place my lips when I sip, so I don’t give it much thought, but if you heard my kids talk about that chip, you would think it was designed by an evil potter to rend my upper lip from my face.
The cup will live to see another day… it’s my cup, and I’m not done with it yet.
It was a good day yesterday despite our “quarantine Christmas”. 3 out of 4 positive tests, and Dane is the only one in the green. Today we’ll test again, and I do expect a negative today.
Oh… my wife just brought me over a cup of coffee, a kindness. It’s in the new dragon mug that Bonnie picked up for me at the Renaissance Festival last fall. Good looking mug. Nice dragon.
The dragon needs a name. I’m thinking, “Fausto”.
It was a good morning. My future son-in-law has an attraction to guitar, so I gifted him with one of my acoustics, a nice black Epiphone dreadnaught with active electronics. I picked up an Ovation for myself in November, and last year I bought a Martin acoustic on a good sale.
Right now, one of the floor sisters is trying to distract me from the task at hand so I can pay attention to her. Tomorrow, Lily and Rosy will both be two years old… five pounds of canine fur in a flood configuration times two.
Today will be a relaxing day. On my work calendar, it’s a work holiday. Tomorrow will be vacation time, as will Wednesday and Thursday.
I need to do a better job keeping track of my vacation time and personal days at work.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
