My wife went back to work today. This is the first day in a week that I haven’t spent at least a good portion of the day with her, half the day on Thursday because of the strep diagnosis, and Friday through Tuesday because of already planned vacation time. I have to admit that I’d… Read More Back to Business As Usual
Today is the last day of my wife’s staycation. She took Friday and Tuesday off because we were planning on going out of town for the weekend, but her strep kept us home. So we’ve been taking it easy for days, just hanging out at home. It’s been fun having her home. I love her… Read More Random Thoughts 5/30/2017
Remember when I fell down that flight of stairs back in April and kinda banged up my knee? Well, it’s been bothering me going up and down stairs and also whenever I torque it to one side for extended periods of time. So knowing that pain is an indicator that something’s wrong, I went to… Read More A Long Streak Broken
I’ve been exceptionally tired today. Not really sure why. I took four naps throughout the day. I got plenty of sleep last night, so there’s no reason for me to have slept as much as I did. I’m chalking it up to boredom, I suppose. The first nap, sure, that could have been because I… Read More Life at the Speed of Nap
Today’s been a good day. Started the day with another viewing of Doctor Strange. Being able to watch it at my leisure has left me very impressed with the director and visual effects coordinator. If you haven’t seen the movie, I won’t give anything away, but the movie has absolutely stunning visual effects. In several… Read More What I Did With My Saturday
I put off writing today until something exciting happened. We bought Doctor Strange this evening and started watching it, and that was going to be my exciting thing, but about 50 minutes in I looked at our radio station’s website and noticed that there was a very unexpected DJ on the air, someone that hasn’t… Read More Short, Sweet, and To the Point
As I write this, the window is closing for two anniversaries to share the same time. Here in Austin, it’s still May 25, the 40th anniversary of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In the UK, it’s now May 26th, the 50th anniversary of the UK release of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.… Read More A Day of Anniversaries
Tonight we went to one of our favorite restaurants, Haymaker, for some comfort food on Moms’ tab I had a Cuban pressed burger – think Cuban sandwich, with a burger in it – with sweet potato waffle fries on the side, and my wife had the Oregoner – oven-roasted turkey breast and applewood-smoked ham with… Read More Birthday Dinner #2
Earlier tonight, we experienced a sudden squall. After threatening to rain for some time, it finally started, and within seconds, it was raining and hailing so hard I couldn’t see the tree across the parking lot from the apartment. It was an absolutely devastating storm that only lasted maybe five minutes before dissipating, but it… Read More Whiteout
Today’s been rather busy, comparatively speaking. My to-do list usually has about three or four items on it. Sometimes I have to artificially create something to do in order to give me that check box on my checklist. Sometimes household chores line up to where I’m doing a few of them on the same day… Read More Productivity
