Mon. Feb. 16, 2026 – Presidents Day

By on February 16th, 2026 in culture, decline and fall, march to war

And it should be mild and clear for the extra day off. Well, mild-ish, and clear-ish. Yesterday wasn’t bad, mid 70sF by afternoon, but chilly by nightfall. 58F when I went to bed. The dampness made it feel colder. Today should be nice though.

I spent most of yesterday morning in bed. Weirdness with my blood sugar, or just weirdness with the monitor had me up early, and sleeping late. Then I spent most of the afternoon doing auction stuff while messing around on the internet. The day ended with a nice walk with the wife and dog.

Today the kids are out of school. D1 continues her girls weekend, D2 has plans in the late afternoon. W1 will be getting up and going to work. Me, not so much.

Plan is to cut my hair and do some of the many things I’ve been putting off and avoiding for the last week. I’m not super good at following up on my plans, so we’ll see what happens.

In any case, y’all should be preppin’ and stackin’. Even if I’m slackin’.

    Monday. Good morning.

    It’s a working day here. No Presidents’ Day (is that with or without an apostrophe?) slacking off for me. On the contrary, today is going to be the busy start to a busy work week. ah well. It keeps the wolf from the door, mostly.

    Have a good week!
