The briefest of updates:
- TV (x2)
- Food
- Fitness
Last Monday and last entry of the year. We went on the road (only a short trip), ate out, finished a season, finished a movie, and so on.
It should get warmer during the week, with lows around 40 and highs in the 50s; we were down to freezing last night. This is, of course, “nothing,” as my friends elsewhere in the country have to deal with snow, ice, and cold temperatures. We won’t freeze for the new year; it would be good weather for lagering, though.
A couple weeks ago Ms. S. and I stopped by our favorite local Mexican restaurant for a treat, and this led to a discussion or the origin of several supposedly ‘authentic’ ethnic dishes. And this led Ms. S. first to mentioning and then lending me her copy of Jennifer 8. Lee’s The Fortune Cookie Chronicles (Hachette, 2008).
Not much accomplished today; still recovering from the holidays.
It did’t begin that way, with a continued argument of some sort at 2:30 in the morning … 3am, even: a couple women raising their voices outside, and at least down a couple doors, never coming to blows but obviously consumed by fits of anger. Ms. S. wondered, should we call the police?
We did not.
The daylight hours, though, have been considerably calmer, and thus I offer reflections and reruns.
That’s a first. Now this feels like a vacation. Sleeping in late, eating leftovers, watching TV, and relaxing.
In summary, before going to Ms. S.’s parents’ place:
While my slumber was achieved late and disturbed frequently, the day itself went smoothly and at times productively. It was a pleasant Christmas Eve.
Sunday is brunch-promt time, and today as I wrote the cats decided that my lap and forearms were a good place tot settle down and nap … who am I to argue?
