Making It Up As I Go Along #250

An extended weekly rundown up to January 1st. Back to normal on Sunday (Jan 7).

MONDAY (Dec 18)...
— Productive work day but I need out of the office for a while. Too much tension going on. Christmas can’t come soon enough.

TUESDAY (Dec 19)...
— Tricky day at work... just not a good one for a relaxing day at the office... too much happening too closely to me.
— Quiet night around the house.

WEDNESDAY (Dec 20)...
— It’s Rocky week on the movie network. Tonight is #3... the last of the reasonable Rocky movies. Still, I’m interested in checking out the new one.

THURSDAY (Dec 21)...
— Not a great day but holidays are almost here... an evening walk is good and the team gave me some nice stuff for Christmas.

FRIDAY (Dec 22)...
— Short work day where Christmas socializing goes on.
— Lunch with Sheila before she takes me to the airport to start my way home.
— 4.5 hours on the plane to get to Montreal (a 38 minute trip in the air). Most of the time was spent on the tarmac with freezing rain.
— Flight cancellations leaves me stranded in Montreal.

SATURDAY (Dec 23)...
— Hotel day with a sore neck to boot. Don’t know if it was sleeping funny or time on the plane or lugging luggage.
— Little walk a few blocks around the hotel but that’s it. I’m too drained to explore.

SUNDAY (Dec 24)...
— Travel day is long and tiring. About seven hours in Montreal airport followed by the flight home. Invincible is a fine enough movie to watch on the plane though.

MONDAY (Dec 25)...
— Christmas day... nice morning with the parents... bunch of relatives around in the evening... maybe the start of a cold coming... we’ll see.

TUESDAY (Dec 26)...
— Junior hockey on TV. I rest to fight off the cold too. Supper at Winst’s place with lots of family.
— Cards end the night.

WEDNESDAY (Dec 27)...
— 9.5 hours of sleep tells me I am indeed sick... just no energy and my throat and nose are iffy.
— Riggs’s and Lafosse’s come for supper... not a bad time.

THURSDAY (Dec 28)...
— House day... still not feeling well. Lots of time on the phone and watch Cinderella Man on DVD with mom and dad.

FRIDAY (Dec 29)...
— Some downtown time shopping and having lunch with the parents.
— By 2:00, I’m feeling pretty well again (throat and nose are better anyway).
— Supper and the evening is spent at Jim and Kristann’s... with Sherri-Lynn and Mike there as well.

SATURDAY (Dec 30)...
— Some visiting with Wayne.
— Jim and his family come for a visit followed by Del.
— Down to the hockey stadium to see St. John’s play Halifax with dad, Tom and Morrissey. Halifax wins in overtime and on-ice dancing girls make for an unforgettably nasty few moments... but it’s a good game anyway.
— Saddam is gone... once again, the powers of good fails to rise above what we see as evil.

SUNDAY (Dec 31)...
— Cape Spear is done and it’s good for me.
— Visits with Bev and supper at the Lafosse house is also good.
