34 degrees this morning, no walk, rain.
Had a very nice Thanksgiving yesterday, lots of visiting and good food. Also rain, but but the visiting and good food made up for the weather .
Actually, had no food last night, I had had enough food during the day and I’m not that hungry now!!
The first really bad weather of the season. Freezing rain is possible (or underway), and that is one thing I really don’t like to be out in, especially driving. The forecast actually doesn’t say freezing rain until later in the day.
It is always nice to see people and especially see the changes in people (especially children) who grow so fast.
Second day of the four day weekend is starting. I enjoy Holidays, the only problem is I have so much I want to do, I don’t always get done what I intended. Not because I was super efficient and got everything done, but because I am trying to figure out which project to tackle and end up not getting as much does I should.
I also occasionally have guilt feelings about not working on job related work. Since I can’t work over 40 hours per week, that resolved that problems, but it is hard to overcome years of working on weekends, holidays and early mornings.
On the other hand, I keep fairly business in my “off” time on a variety of activities. If I start a side business, it will be after we have the housing decision resolved.
For some reason, a “home repair” Magazine (or something like that). They obviously didn’t realize who they were sending it too! I am have little skills in this area and at least am smart enough to realize that. I did enjoy leafing through it and being amazed by what people who are somewhat skilled in this area could actually accomplish!
I think I forgot to mention, we did get the outside grill put together. It took us a while and we swore vengeance on the company that made it, but we did get it together! Actually I think we worked on it for about three hours (and that was working continuously). We had a lot of wrong moves, but eventually we got it together, with the exception of the actual gas tank, or whatever you call the fuel.
Rain is falling much harder now, I hope it doesn’t turn to ice.
A good feature of this house is that it seems to maintain temperature well, at least so far, the HVAC had worked well in both warm and cool weather. I guess the real test will be the few days it will be under 20 degrees for an extended period.
Back to Holidays, I normally get “priority” projects completed, so I probably need to make a list of projects I want to complete (such as update my passwords so I have them when I upgrade my phone or computer! Nothing more frustrating than having to redo all of your passwords because you forgot them since the computer remembers them. This is especially true with “cloud” computing (when what I write on one computer goes to all the devices).
For example, what I write on “notes” on my laptop, shows up on my iPhones, iPad etc., both my e-mails are “pushed” to my mobile device and if I don’t have the right password, it will show up as an error code.
Of all the “apps” and everything it is hard to top “notes”, which comes on all Apple devices.
Looks like will be a rainy and cold “Black Friday”. Fortunately, we do not have anything really planned outside the house (although we are going to the Y, if the weather allows etc.), since I really don’t like driving in freezing rain.
That’s it for now, Friday, November 27, 2015.
