Volume 17 - Day 2/363, 2024 - Thursday

It was not as chilly this morning for our walk, so James, Richard and Paul and I had a good one. There is a lot going on in our worlds right now, and we each have our individual challenges. I got home, fed the girls and had some breakfast, and then it was a leisurely time of getting ready to go in to the office. I had a couple errands to get done, but I still got there around 10. As of the first, our property management portfolio merged with another local company, and it is interesting not to be dealing with leasing and property management. In a good way! There are still pieces and parts that have to be attended to, but overall, this semi-retirement thing is interesting. I am investigating some volunteer things that I can do, and I am wanting to take some classes...glass blowing in Salado is on top of the list. Since my blood/platelet/plasma donations are on hold for the near future, I am thinking I can do some volunteer stuff at the blood bank. I very much like the people there. Jimmie and Linda and I just got back from having ice cream, and I will get this entry done and do some serious television watching. Thursdays are a really good night for broadcast tv. So...let's talk about black eyed peas. I had a couple cans in the pantry, but is actually eating them one of the requirements for New Year's Day? I'm going with, as long as you have the product in the house, that is as good as eating the product. Maybe that will be a new tradition.
