random thoughts – Day 2,110 (Friday) – days and books

It’s the crazy in-between time where the morning question upon awakening is “what day is this?” Yesterday, I kept thinking it was Saturday instead of Thursday, then this morning I thought it was Saturday instead of Friday. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get it right.

I slept late today, probably due to a sort of food hangover from eating so many sweets on Christmas. Today wasn’t much different in the sweets department.

It was a low-key, beautifully stress-free day. In addition to the sweets consumption (mostly in lieu of food), there was the usual combing through job ads and finishing an application started yesterday. The mail was fetched and today’s delivery included a package of five floor vent registers ordered last week. Unfortunately, they color was supposed to be “bronze metallic” but they are more of a dull black so installation is delayed until I hear back from the seller. The plan was for them to blend more with the flooring, not stand out in stark contrast.

The books to be finished.

The TV stayed off for the afternoon and there was time spent reading a book. I got it into my head to finish the three books that are in progress by the end of the year. Fortunately, they are short books, each at least half-way done and this is an attainable goal, especially with a forecast for cold temperatures and snow. Then I can break into the six new books on the shelf recently arrived from Book Outlet dot com. 

It’s been a dream for a few years to hole up for a day or two or five and read, like in the delicious days of Christmas break from school, before adult jobs interfered with leisure time. It seems my wish may be finally be granted.
