WEEKLY UPDATE 12/30/2012

Christmas was quiet, but pleasant. I got up late (so what else is new?) and poured myself a glass of champagne for breakfast instead of coffee - a little treat. I open the few packages that I had collected for under my tree - nice surprises all of them. Then, I spent the rest of day watching movies on tv and relaxing. That doesn't make much of a holiday for me, since that's pretty much all do I all day every day anyway, except for that champagne thing.

My VISA bill was in the mail in Christmas eve. I thought that the timing could have been better, but then, since I've lost 2 VISAs in two weeks recently, just getting a bill at all should be a thrill for me. I'm lucky I have the account.

I put all the Christmas decorations away on Saturday, so now I have order restored in the condo.

My days and nights are turned around now, and I find that I have trouble sleeping in the night, but nap most afternoons. It hardly matters, since I rarely go anyplace, so whether I'm awake all day or all night doesn't make much difference. However, I was a little under the weather on Friday & I slept for 24 hours. While I didn't have a fever or headache or anything, it's unusual for me to sleep that long, so I think I may have had some sort of bug. It only lasted a day, and now i'm back to normal.

The only time I went out of the condo this week other than to go to the mailbox a couple of times was to go to Bonaventure to open & close and to sit at the desk in the gatehouse to answer questions and hand out maps on Sunday. Since it's a holiday week-end, staff with the Historical Society is generally occupied elsewhere, and since I have little to do other than watch the NFL, I volunteered for a double shift. The last week of the regular season, and I was MIA at Coach's for the early games. I had my verizon jetpack, and followed the scores, so I knew what was happening without being in from of the tube. Most of the games meant little anyway, so who cares. The Bills finally won something; the Lions disappointed again; and although I would have liked to see the Falcons end with a win, it didn't matter all that much to them. ok, Buffalo - wait til next year!
