9616 – Friday

Leave a comment

8:01 AM – Discovered the hard way that the commuter bus doesn’t take checks – thankfully the fast stop up the road has an ATM so I can pay in cash, and yoo hoo to sooth my nerves. The driver was kind enough to give me a free ride today so I am still 10 rides on the ol’ ticket. Not bad for $38.25 (normally $4.25 a lift)

 
Getting cooler outside again – perhaps snow tomorrow? Many sunbeam “talkers” came from between the clouds after sunrise.
 
I wonder how hard it is to get an international driver’s license. I am so close to dc, that I suspect that it may be an option. I will look into that.
 
Starlings and sparrows are all out and about at the bus stop this morning – spring must be in the heart, if not in the air just yet.
 
Friday the 13th! As mentioned previously, the train smelled of fresh cupcakes, which is a nice way to start the day.
 
Long weekend ahead – some of the chiefs at work started it today. – I have said it before – it is amazing how much more work can be done when the side distractions have left for the day. 
 
update – 1:21 PM – Polished off the tvp with some baked beans for lunch  – tasty stuff, and it looks like my gi tract isn’t going to rebel too much – it seems like some of my gut issues have abated a bit- I think that taking my medicine at night makes it a bit easier in the morning. 

Today is Chris’s Birthday, so BHK and I will likely go shopping for our Valentine’s Day picnic tomorrow. I planned a little adventure for us to go out, walk holding hands, and have a nice romantic time together on the long weekend.

Chris mentioned something about all of us going to Selby Bay for her birthday dinner – Works for me! I suspect that I won’t have time to update more tonight, so until later, dear journal!
