Update - how are you?

November 15th, 2020 at 08:02 pm

My son and his GF will be back the first week of December! I'm so happy about that, nothing better as far as I'm concerned. I'm so impressed with their adventure where they got to learn so much about themselves and see a bit more of the world. I've never lived outside about a 60 mile radius my entire life. After reading more of the news, I am struggling with seeing them right away or waiting a couple of weeks to make sure they don't catch covid on the way back. 

I just paid all the bills for the month and we're thinking about the holidays and how we are going to handle them. We've made some larger purchases including stocking up on some shelf stable food and getting some really good warm weather clothes at a local warehouse sale. 

I'm hoping to replace my laptop eventually because it's probably 5 years old...oh I just checked and I bought it Dec 2013 for less than $270. At first I thought that I had to stick it out because my laser printer wouldn't work with a new one but there's a new driver. I have a few other electronics to digitize some of my media and I don't know if I have updated drivers for that so we'll see. Currently working from home, I mostly use my work computer...so much faster. 

My glasses are also old so I should get new ones but I don't feel like I need the bifocals yet because I can still read small print when I lift my glasses and I don't mind that work around. My glasses are at least 4-5 years old. 

Our November holiday might be an outdoor cookout over an open fire at the cabin. We have wood and a little campfire ring. It would remind me of years ago when we did that. 

Being outdoors is still something wonderful for me, a nice walk yesterday even though it was right around freezing and a bit of precipitation. I had layers of merino wool, fleece, down and at the last minute I grabbed by rain jacket. I'm glad I had it. Lots of people walking in the park. 

We have a planning meeting for the next few weeks and then I might read. I just got The Book of Delights electronically through the library. I'm looking forward to reading it. 

Hope the rest of your weekend is delightful!

    My glasses were over 5 years old and I realized it was getting more difficult to see distances so I finally broke down and got new ones. Ouch. But if these last 5 years, I won't complain too loudly.

    I just replaced my cell phone because it was getting so darn slow and basically was told no more updates. It is crazy how fast electronics get "too old," isn't it.

    Things are good. At least we are healthy.
