Tell me about your day, or about whatever is on your mind, using only one-syllable words. * * * On this day, I have to go to the bank. My wife and I still have to buy some gifts for yule, and we don’t want the bill to bounce if we pay with the card, so we have some cash in the safe and I’ll put it in the bank. I’m low on my favorite oil – the kind that gets you high – and so I’ll stop by the pot shop on the way home. Yay to the folks of my state for the vote that made pot right by the law! On this night, I have four shows to watch. My best one, _Ghosts_, and then the one with the dumb boy and his new wife and tot in The Lone Star State, then the one with the old chick who does law, and last, the one with the folks who suck your blood. What’s on your plate for this day? Or what’s on your mind? ---

I will wash my clothes, do my it’s-that-time-of-year cards, and make the hedge lights work more good. But for the most part there will be much sloth, with shows (both long and short) to watch and books (both true and false) to read. Should be a good day, just me and my dog. ---

Need to choose health plan (yes I’m late), and then if not too much wind need to spread straw on a field. And must pat cats and dog. And feed wood stove. ---

On this day I drove a box of blood to a lab three hours from my house. This is how I earn cash for bills. The drive was long but I have stuff saved on my phone to hear while I drive. My old man, Jim, stayed home with the dogs. Jim works with books. He has this day and the next day off. Our cash goes to the dogs. Well, some stays with us. When I get home I will bake. It is time to make treats for our friends. We hope to see our friends in the next few weeks. I will give them treats and gifts. I hope I picked good gifts this year. We will find out in two and a half weeks. ---
