out there for a change. We’re supposed to be at some point getting up to +3 and technically its still autumn out there. First official day of winter is Dec 21st and that’s on Thursday. That’s when the Sun is at its lowest point in the sky and we gain a minute of sunlight each day. We don’t notice anything up here until about February.

Anne never made it to bed until 3am doing laundry and watching a movie. We got clean cloths for another two weeks now. So that’s ok. I’m glad we’re able to do our own laundry instead of using the machines upstairs even though we have to put the hose outside and in the middle of cold weather like this it can make for a cold apartment.

Anne left for the market about 9:30am to get a head start on the day. With traffic and road conditions out there make bus times/connections a real challenge. So leaving early is just natural. But she’s out shipping for things we need for the week.

Over the past few weeks each of us has had our Christmases presents scoped out. Anne wants this shower/all purpose massager at Wallmart. A week ago they were down to their last 3 and so she hid one away in the back. She went back to buy it yesterday but all three were gone and even the one she hid away. I wanted the Tablemate and Walmart was even out of them too. Dirty buggers. Even though I want to buy that new David Byrne Cd it was either that or getting the haircut Saturday and I needed the haircut big time and I’ve been ahem, real Lazy lately to go out and get the Cd. Only David Byrne fans would catch the reference to Lazy. Most likely I’ll pick it up Saturday as I’m off work for 3 glorious days. I’ll just remind Tony again tonight I’ll be taking Sat, Sun, Mon off and back Boxing day but we’ll get our Christmas gifts this year yet.

Today, We’re going into work at our usual time Raw has a 3 hour special on for tonight so that will be pretty good and the story POD is almost ready. It’s in it’s 2/3rd polishing stage now so tonight, I’m going to have some fun, watching Raw and eating chips and becoming a couch potato for 3 hours after work. That’s all for now.
