My office mate, who didn’t make it in yesterday or today, will pay next week. He’s going to have a buttload of drawing to check. 😃 I didn’t assign them to him - the engineers did. I just did what I was told. _hehehehehe_ Almost time to go home. Yay! ---

My new glasses are here! Huzzah! I will go get them shortly. I used to hate getting new glasses when I was a young one. Now I like it. Life is strange. ---

Majik intartoobz pizza has been consumed, along with a green sallit. The sallit made it a wholesome, nutritious, and healthy meal cause that’s what sallit does, right? 😃 Ice cream for later. All is right with the world. Plus I ordered OYKW’s ice cream cake. JDD’s bday is Moanday, so Partner and he are comin’ over tomorrow night for scramble dawgs and ice cream cake. General silliness shall ensue. **Sunny** I know what you mean re glasses. I had a really good time pickin’ out frames for my new pair even if I did end up goin’ with the first ones I tried on. ---

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I can now withdraw (not that I would unneeded) from my 401K without penalty. 😛 I irked half a day, came home, then met a couple of friends for an early dinner. I will celebrate by slothing this evening and sleeping in tomorrow. ---

75 degrees at 7:30 pm. Tomorrow will be a zoo day. The Honolulu Zoo is pretty nice. Located in Kapiolani Park just outside Waikiki and near the beach. Good for strolling around in the fresh outdoors. Then maybe hang out poolside the rest of the day. I feel a lazy day coming up. ---

I banged my head and I’m wondering if I should go to the hospital, but I don’t feel all that bad and I don’t think I have a concussion. I’ll see how I feel in the morning. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 28 Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 48 and N.O.S. for the day. No real big plans for the day. JDD and Partner are comin’ over this evenin’ and I need to go pick up the ice cream cake this mornin’. I already have chili for the scramble dawgs so all that’s needed is to heat that up, grill dawgs, and make coleslaw. The excitatement knows no bounds! [b{{{]Midget}}}\*\* hope your haid is feelin’ better this mornin’. Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, I suppose I should purtify before venturin’ over to the DQ for the cake. Happy Sattiddy Y’all! Also, Happy Epiphany! ---

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. It’s 8 degrees outside(Raleigh’s bee below freezing since 12/31). {{{{ **Midget** }}}} And go to the hospital if you feel weird(-er than normal). ---

We are running a deficit of degrees - it was -1°F when I let Higgs out. That doth well and truly suck mightily!!! _ **BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR** _ After a French toast breakfast, we’re driving to Fredburg for some bins for **FCD** ’s shop. And since we’ll pass a WalMart in Dahlgren, we’ll stop there for a few items I’ve been wanting to get. Afterwards, we’ll come home and I’ll do laundry. Yes, I know, I shouldn’t flaunt my jet-setter lifestyle here, but try not to envy me. Happy Saturday! ---
