Christmas Day 2023

Christmas morning at sister #4's.  Up at 5:30 a.m.  Hot pot going to heat up water for my instant coffee.  Fed the cat.  I have a much better relationship with #4's cat than #6's dog...  Smaller, tamer, less in need of attention.  :)  No listening because I needed to stay quiet while #4 slept.  8 a.m. ish sister up and making pancakes.  Great breakfast.  :)  Then we went for a walk "into Connecticut".  Pawcatuck.  Along the river border between CT and RI.  Then "back into RI".  Westerly and Pawcatuck like my town.  Factory towns along the river.  Bustling back in the day with the industries fitting the locale.  Then I headed home.  50 degrees and sunny when I started out.  Pea soup fog mid trip.  Back to sun and 40's when I got home.  Too nice to come inside so I went on another walk.  Ran into a friend of my brother's, parent from former school #1, back and forth on text with son and PD buddy.  THEN home to have my turf portion of Christmas Eve dinner leftovers for my second meal.  Good Christmas Day.  

Will reach out to #6 today.  Her birthday.  Other than that - run dishwasher, go to Shoprite, wash clothes, walk, CA DC at 1 p.m. Long stretch without DCs starting post 1 p.m. today...  a week from tomorrow is the first back in the pond.  EOLD discussion and massage.  Will see how I do to process the days ahead sans DCs.  :)  

Someone in a position of authority could give you a hard time over the next few days but if you stay calm and refuse to get angry about it there is not much they can do to actually harm you. Rise above petty conflicts on the work front.

It appears that today and for the past several days you've been building up internal tension without an outlet. As a result, your fuse is somewhat short. In fact, if anyone is unfortunate enough to provoke your anger by criticizing you or your work, you're liable to explode. There's a storm brewing! Try to weather it as best you can.

Will see where the day takes me.  Won't need my new gloves in this balmy stretch.  :)  Have a good Tuesday/Boxing Day.
