Tuesday Night

Vacation time goes by way too quickly.  There’s still a lot of vacation time left for this week and next but it’s odd to me how I get so focused on one dinner or one event and then I focus on the next a “swoosh” it’s all gone.  The girls go home tomorrow afternoon and then I think I’ll work on trying to slow some things down to enjoy my time off from work.

I need to schedule some time with my GP after New Years and I’m sure he will want me to go see the vampires so some tests can be run.  It’s time to think about where I want to be by the end of next year.

Boxing Day

It’s cool out there this morning.  It’s a rather tropical and balmy -22C (-8*F) and I’m really feeling the love this morning.  Of course my brain had to play dumb once again.

“Brrr!  It looks cold out there.”

“Well no foolin’ brain.  What did you think it was when you read the temp?”

“Well I was hoping that it was a mistake.”

“Nope.  It was no mistake.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Are you absolutely sure?”

“Yes.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Cuz I checked more than one source.”

“But what if they’re wrong?”

“They’re not wrong.”

“Stick your head outside just to be sure.”

“I’m not gonna stick my head out there.  It’s cold.”

“Well, do it just to make sure.”

“No.”

“Oh c’mon.  Just this once.”

“No brain.  Now shut up.  It’s coffee time.”

“Just once.”

“No.”

“Oh c’mon ya big sissy.”

“Oh Jesus H Christ.  If I do it, will you shut up and leave me alone?”

“Uh huh.”

“Yeh right.”

So I stuck my head outside.

“JESUS!  IT’S COLD OUT THERE!”

“Well no foolin’ brain.  Why do I even listen to you?”

“Cuz you’re not that smart at times.”
