Vacation Daze

Wow!! A first for me!! ...... I was thinking earlier of returning to work in the morning after the weekend. Had to remind myself that I took a vacation day. Can you imagine, forgetting that you've taken a day off? I'll have to view it as a serious issue requiring intensive moments of attitude adjustment if it ever happens again.

It's been a nice two weeks of zero telemarketing and scam phone calls since cancelling my longtime home service. If the phone companies would actually do something about shutting the lowlifes down (and lower their monthly rates charged) maybe they'd still have me as a customer.

Talk about discipline and willpower!! .... It's been damn near a month now since I've had a pepsi or coke. I've even said, thanks but no thanks to a couple of different people who, without knowledge of the historic life changing decision, have attempted to deliver the drink to me. Just shows what can be accomplised once you identify a little motivation to make a change.

A little sad to read that a downtown art gallery is closing. Can't say that I'm surprised though. Over several visits the past couple of years, they never seemed to have much of interest. Must have been an opinion shared by other art seekers as well. They blamed among several factors, a lack of visibility and lack of support from the city but you need objects of interest as well. I'd wander through their gallery and there would be very little on display that would cause me to return for a second and third look. That would result in my slinking out the door, feeling badly that I didn't make a purchase. Not wanting to feel that way would keep me from returning regularly.

the last time I purchased a new car (2007) I said to myself that hopefully I'd die before I ever had to go through that process again. No such luck!! Here I am, nine or ten years later, seriously pondering new car possibilities again.
