I had another point to bring up, but now can’t recall what it was. I guess I’m having a senior moment.
Now I remember! I was going to go see Nosferatu sometime this week, but I’m not sure sure that’ll happen. I’m just feeling blah. Maybe not what the boy’s got, but something.
Anyway, I hear good things about the movie. I will eventually see it, just probably not on the really big screen.
I was considering going to the cleaner sometime today. I’ve got a few shirts there, but only three to bring. It probably would be a good idea. Just depends on how I feel the rest of the day.
Seriously, though. It is starting to seem like every December is cursed in my house. Someone nearly always gets sick, then spreads it. And it’s typically perfectly timed to keep in some big plans.
Well, one of my older brothers, Number 3 to be precise, is getting married again. He actually told me that on Christmas Eve, and I promptly forgot about it completely. My mother reminded me when I was FaceTiming with her.
Hopefully, this one is nicer than his first wife, whom I dislike intensely.
I think Number 3 had been dating this woman for quite some time. I seem to recall hearing things about her. I’ve never met her, however. Neither has our mother, which I learned today.
Anyway, weather-wise it’s turned into a beautiful day. It’s currently around 70 degF, with plenty of sunshine. I think it’s supposed to stay this way the rest of the day, and switch to more rain tomorrow.
Even though I still feel kind of blah, I did get out and about. I ran a few errands. Then came home and did some outside stuff.
I was debating taking further advantage of the nice weather to get outside and take down the Christmas decorations. I think I’ll leave them up a bit longer, though.
Ouch. More shoulder pain.
My brother just switched to a new primary care physician. It’s a dude he knows from Scouting, part of a multi-doctor group. I’m thinking of following him.
Maybe not. It’s cloudier today, and I think we’re going to get rain. Plus I still feel kind of blah.
Also, it’s a day of sad remembrance.
My father would have been 83 years old today, had illness not taken him from us. There isn’t a day that goes by I don’t miss him. Not a week goes by I don’t see or hear something he’d have gotten a kick out of. And every time I cook something, I wish he were here to taste it……and then give me some advice on how to make it better.
He was a good man. A loving husband. A stern, but wonderful father. I would not be the man I am today without his guidance, understanding, and love.
Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you and will miss you always.
At least he got to meet my children, even if he was too far gone to know who my daughter was. He was very proud when I named my own son after him.
I had lots of good pictures pop up in my Facebook memories today. Especially ones of my dad and my boy.
Hoping to make it out to the comic book store today.
I’m itching to do some more mapping, but I think I’ll give it another day. Let the boys germs hopefully die out.
Yesterday I took advantage of the boy’s filthy flu germs being all over my computer to bag and board a bunch of comics. Or re-bag and board, I should say.
I’m putting my collection in Mylar bags now. They’re described as “museum quality”. I’ve bought somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 so far. That should be enough for a small portion of my collection.
Speaking of museum quality…..
I’ve still got to get over to the framing place and consult with them about framing my original Kelley Jones art.
I’ve also got to remember to maybe buy another short box at the comic book store today. One of the plain, white boxes. I find they are a bit more sturdy than the fancy art-covered boxes.
Holy carp! It’s almost 9 am already. That’s what happens when you get up an hour later than usual. Something I’ve been doing the last few days.
Ah well. At least I won’t have to worry about picking my daughter up from her art class today. It’s cancelled due to the holidays.
Ugh. It’s been raining off and on for the past several hours. Pretty heavily sometimes. Lucky for me, I’ve been able to mostly avoid being unsheltered during the worst of it.
It started just as I was finishing loading groceries in my car at the store. Wasn’t too heavy as I unloaded them at home. Then slacked off while I was driving to the comic book store. Hit pretty heavy while I was in the store (for which reason I delayed leaving). And it started up again about 15 minutes ago, again pretty heavy at times.
At least I don’t have to go anywhere else today. I can save my one actual bit of “need to go somewhere” for tomorrow. Then I’ll need to get gas for the truck.
I’m also hoping to get my outside Christmas decorations down tomorrow.
