I did something yesterday that I’ve never done in the 11+ years I’ve been working for this company.

I left for the day, and forgot my glasses on my desk.  I’ve never done that.  Worse, I needed them when I got home.  I was trying to cook dinner and I needed to read something off of a box and it was a major struggle.  I can read without my glasses, but it gives me headaches.  I was really pissed at myself.

Hey, do you know what’s coming in just under two weeks? 

 
It’s almost RPM Challenge time, boys and girls.  I’m in, are you?

Patches and I are watching the Bruins.  She was wondering if the B’s were ever going to generate some sustained pressure in the offensive zone. 

 

I bought a movie ticket a couple of hours before the show time.  I picked a seat on the aisle with no one sitting within five seats in any direction.  When I got here there were two people in the theater… They were in the two seats next to mine.  The next three people into the theater sat in the three seats next to them.

Are you effing kidding me?

I have today off for the MLK Day holiday.  What should I do with my day?

First off was a pediatric endocrinology appointment for my step son.  Let’s just say that even the doctor was super impressed with his management of his diabetes.  The kid is a freakin’ all star.  You should all be very impressed.

What else should I do today?  I wanted to take my beloved bride to lunch, but she already has a lunch meeting.  Not sure what else I should do.  On the drive to the doctor this morning I started listening to the audio book of the novelization of the new Star Wars.  Two chapters in and I am unimpressed.  It reads like it was written by a high school kid who is trying very hard to impress everyone with his vocabulary, but instead is just laughably awful.  The long description of BB8 rolling past some birds made me want to cry.  I don’t think I’ll spend my day off with any more of that.

But it makes me think…

Are there still morning showings of The Force Awakens at the theater in town?  On that subject, how many points is a small bag of popcorn?

The answers are yes, and 13 points.  Well… I guess I’m going to the movies!  (but I’ll probably skip the popcorn)

  

The newly redone pedal board is packed and ready to go.  The tilt stand for my amplifier is ready to go too.  Now I just have to hope my hand stops hurting.  Fingers crossed.

I have a band practice tonight.  I have a few things to do before hand.  I have things to get done so that I can be ready.  Practice, learn a couple of riffs, work on the new pedal board set up.  Stuff like that, ya know?

But Jen and I are binge watching The League and I am so busy laughing that I can’t bring myself to practice.

Priorities, right?

Today we faced a hard truth.  We’ve faced it before, but each time it’s just a little annoying.

Grocery shopping while on weight watchers is more expensive than the junk food filled alternative.

We can’t just buy cheap crap to eat.  We have to buy good stuff and eat right.  It’s a conspiracy, I tells ya!  Well… if I lose 200 pounds it will be worth it.

Here’s to grocery shopping!
