Walking along a plaza, somebody gets shot. I run and police start chasing me. Go up stairs to a little courtyard. Look for a place to escape, as they com up the stairs. Go through some planters behind the police and get ready to jump down.

At home, Matt and I are spreading a dumped pile of mulch over by the apple tree. Look over and they’re building next door. Walk over and it’s a horse racetrack. There are people looking, and I realize our house is going to smell like horse manure forever.

Walk through a work site, looking for a way down to a river. Do0n’t find it have to turn around. We’re missing class. Get back, go into the next class, it’s health and all my OHS classmates are there. Pass around some paper, sit down and the teacher does some movement thing with the girls, then another one does one with some of the boys. I’m trying to remember the moves.

At a ski resort. It’s mushy and late in the season. Go through a deck looking for a trail map. Don’t find any-look at the big one on a board. There are a hills-one all black from the peak, and one that’s blue around the sides. Ski down a slope that’s astroturf with snowy bumps. Watch some guys going off a jump and doing tricks. Ski down to the lift.

Playing around at a grocery. Kids are leaving their shift. We start a Harry Potter game, and I cast spells and they do what I say-Imperius, then die. They sneak out the back, and I chase them to a fence. Suddenly they’re on the other side-having turned small. Go back through the lawn, catch up with someone going that way. He stops and talks to a guy. We continue.

Walking around with a liaison for a car mfr-going to give a presentation. Have to go sit and wait for them for do something. A tour group comes past and a wind my way through. We leave, walk back to a gym, go upstairs because they’re doing plumbing. It’s super stinky. Have to climb and it’s tricky. Go over to where they’re sitting and walk back out. The climb is even trickier, and I’m hanging off a 3 story drop, waiting for someone to move.

Joining up with a group riding to a nearby kingdom for trade talks. I’m a page and get assigned to a leader. He goes really fast, drops all the horses on the way, and I’m the last pulling him up the hill. We’re greeted by an old lady. She comments that I need some sort of potion to see them. They give us a welcome in the hall and invite us to stay at a local bank. One of our group says we’re going to leave in the morning.

Watch James Bond land a mini jet on a train. It rolls down and gets changed into a car. Follow it as it zooms down twisty roads into a town. We start talking about where they filmed it. We’re thinking Southern California, but not sure where.

Groundhog day-seems like it

Please tip the writer. Whatever amount you like-every little bit helps, and I’ll do a shoutout. We are always short of cash, especially with a big mortgage. Let me know if you or someone you know needs web design/development-my rates aren’t bad, and I’m more than pretty good at it. Java/database/AWS/UI too. ThankYouVeryMuch!

The movie, just the same day over and over again. Or the same week over and over again. Anyways, no worries, or none that I can deal with quickly. If you read this, please consider tipping-we’re short on cash to pay bills. I’m still holding to not talking about politics-it’s just so ridiculous. That’s it-trying to keep things moving forward.

Tuesday (12/20) almost bedtime. Tired, did lots today, didn’t sleep well last night. Got both the flu and Covid booster yesterday. Work was fine, re-weatherstripped the front door-it was a pain-the foam I got was way too wide and thick-I had to adjust it a lot.

Sunday late night. Pretty busy week, plus Christmas. Work was fine, got everything done by the end of the week. Some snow/ice and very cold through the week. Not much else-nice to have Colin home and nice presents and dinner for Christmas.

Monday night, bedtime. Did nothing today except pick up the trash bins and clear out the rear gutter, which was clogged.

Wednesday, bedtime. Drove around today, dropped Salem off for an all day watch party, IKEA-didn’t get a wardrobe, furniture store, Lowe’s, binz, Salem wasn’t ready, home, back for Salem, Fred’s, home, dinner. Got a little sanding and more drywall mud put on. Yesterday was painting-got all except the repair bit and a hole I repaired. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the second coat put on except for those 2 places. The gym is open, so I need to start up. We are really short on cash-donate, and I need to look for a side gig.

Now it’s Monday, 1/23. Matt’s birthday. We’re so out of money. This will continue to happen until I get a raise or a side gig. Recap of the last few weeks: finished painting the walls, painted the ceiling with Matt, pulled the blinds, got new carpeting, started at the gym (not easy, given that I haven’t been since mid September-nice to have a wide variety of options, may start back on the Darden routines, though I need someone to help with negatives once a week…), put together some Ikea furniture, got my eyes checked and new glasses, went to the dentist and got a deep clean and a filling, gamelan, work.

Thursday 1/26, done with work. Not much happening, Matt had some excitement at work, a thing last night. Did a full run Tuesday.

Friday 2/3, midday. Another week over. Not sure what I want to do this weekend-there’s a big crack in the kids’ bathroom, need to clean our bathroom, and the leaves outside on the porch, plus vacuuming and taping down the rugs. Pretty quiet week-the usual over the weekend, Salem had a dance Sat., went out to dinner with Matt. Working out, prod deploy at work-missed 2 things on the plan, gamelan-that’s about it. Put a bunch of music suited to t’ai chi on plod #3, hopefully that will help. I think I’ll call this.

Hanging out, some yells there’s a bear. Run over and the bear is mauling some guy, then runs my way. It runs right past me to another part of the plaza. Some people try to hit it and chase it away.
