Yes, I managed to break this cold’s NyQuil habit cold turkey. Though the congestion is still hanging around a bit as my extra pretty voice proves. Otherwise ordinary Friday. Breakfast. Errands. Cats. Through to the husband’s return home at day’s end and our profession of love. Too cute?
Brilliant report from last night’s The Daily Show exposing Florida Republicans as assholes and hypocrites. Just watch it. You’ll thank me.
Final daily video of January on the initial day of classes for the Spring. The cold rages on and definitely takes its toll on my energy level. Not doing any favors for my voice either. I’ll take the next few days off to concentrate on teaching but should be back on Friday.
The cold I felt coming on yesterday hit with full force. But today’s not just me kvetching. Apple got the iMac fixed so I fetched it and started the long data restore process. Ponder heated seats. And reveal a personal recipe for coping with a cold. Hint: bourbon figures prominently.
Yesterday’s traffic woes prompted me to start the day vowing not to get in the car and hoping for a relaxing Sunday. Walking over to pick up cat food was the only thing on my agenda. Or so I foolishly thought.
Another Saturday when Rich wants to clean so I’m expected to leave, of course. Fortunately, I had a real reason to be at the office. Unfortunately, a huge construction project spun a traffic nightmare when I tried to get home. Lots of cursing ensues. Then I follow what might be the most most inept driver I’ve encountered in ages. This person four or five stop signs with barely a tap of the brakes. Worse, he/she crept along between intersections. No doubt the DMV would frown at my reaction. At least Alice and Sydney were waiting to cheer me up.
My friend Kent started his own winery Erik Kent Wine Cellars a few years ago. So we’ve been buying a box every six months or so. They had an allocation ready to pick up. Since the weather seemed perfect, I decided to pop up to Sonoma and see him. He takes us back into the winery, explains some of the winemaking process and previews an upcoming release. Plus lots of driving shots. BMW inline six engine song. Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco Presidio. A generally glorious Northern California day. Pretty much why Rich and I put up with the high prices, crowds and ground that regularly moves.
The world’s best TV show returns Sunday. Torrents, stand by.
Like the title says, I’ve been late all day. Started at breakfast with Jessie. He was amused by the camera but also a little reluctant. I like the way he gets the giggles at the end. But fair is fair since he documented one of our previous breakfasts.
Live on tape from SF’s glamorous South Park, watch as I bungle a made-up word. Completely losing the point of the joke. Oh well. To give you an idea of the kind of day I had, a highlight was remounting and hanging my 1984 20th Anniversary poster. Goosebumps!
