Cold. Cold and damp. The front moved in, and now I’m waiting for it to move out. Working outdoors when your hands hurt is less than appealing. 30-40F is cold.
Slept in yesterday. Then did my ‘leaving the BOL’ stuff, and did the ‘taking down the Christmas stuff’. Also spent about a half hour talking to my neighbor and his wife, and about an hour to the father of another more distant neighbor. I’m a people person. Kid asked me why I talk to so many other people, and I told her “How can you learn anything if you don’t ask?”
Today we’ll play it by ear, but the list is long and my motivation is short… but I know I need to start hacking the list down. So we’ll see what the weather is like and go from there.
I can always do indoor things. I can sit at my computer and do auction stuff, or year end business/household stuff, or even networking stuff. But I should do some big, easy physical things so there is visible progress.
Fake it til you make it? Or a lifehack…
Stacking is easy.

Tuesday. Good morning! Continental breakfast consumed. Filling in the cracks with some (the last?) Christmas cookies. I might even make myself a second cup of coffee…
It is grey outside and snowing a wee bit. Not really tempting me to be out and about. Maybe I will mess around on the internet instead.
I have been tidying up the bookmarks on my smartphone little by little – nearly 900 of them. The browser sorts them alphabetically according to whatever the site has on the top banner, so the number of bookmarks entitled “Home… something” is ridiculous and not at all useful.
Wishing you all a beautiful day!
Paul, thanks for the nice story about Penny’s alliterative name game. It is good to share happy memories, as to share them is to relive them a little too.
News this morning reports that rain is forecast for the Rose Parade for the first time in 20 years. I wonder if they are doing anything to protect or modify installation of the millions of seeds that are glued on in addition to the flowers.
“Ink” is a big midlife crisis thing for women in my neighborhood.
I see at least one with a few bad decisions on display at HEB whenever we are there.
The men buy vehicles they can’t afford with drivetrains which won’t last the payment terms without a major repair.
If Somalia has no government and that supposedly prevents us from deporting criminal aliens back there, then how TAF is Somalia taking the rotating chair of the UN Security Council?
Giving some thought to returning to Germany for Christmas of 2026. I need to stop hoarding money and spend some on pleasure items rather than physical items. Traveling is always good. We had a great time when we spent Christmas in Germany many years ago, then New Years in Oslo Norway. It would be a short trip, less than 10 days at the maximum. All we do here for Christmas is visit the son a few days before, then Christmas morning is just the two of us. Spending that time in another country would be more enjoyable based on my last experience.
