Happy birthday to my Mom as she celebrates the three-quarter of a century mark on the planet today. (Yeaaah, she didn’t seem to like me referring to it like that, so perhaps just wish her a Happy 75th birthday instead.)
So I am down to one last day for my vacation. As per usual, I went in with high hopes of getting a lot accomplished but ended up getting hardly anything done. I don’t know what it is but my weeks off always seem to get away from me. I did work on some writing and got a few minor things here and there completed. But as always, I come to the end of my vacation and think “What the hell did I do?”
On Friday, I went into Woodstock and got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. I have to commend the staff there as it was a very quick and efficient procedure. Being a wimp, my arm hurt if I raised it too far from Friday night and into Saturday, but overall the experience wasn’t too bad.
The Milner household was not overly quiet this week as we had crews come in to start working on replacing our roof. It was a definitely not a quiet experience and one that produced no small amount of drama. I won’t get into details but I will say that while one aspect was disappointing, the other far exceeded our expectations.
I suppose I could have sat around and watched TV or movies all week but I didn’t even do that. I watched a few more episodes of what is becoming my third or fourth rewatching of How I Met Your Mother, but also took up watching Season 2 of the Gilmore Girls (for the fourth or fifth time) and decided to start working through the third and final season of Lethal Weapon.
I am tempted at some point – perhaps my last night of vacation tomorrow night – to watch either Army of the Dead or Love and Monsters? Meanwhile, think I’ll do an impromptu podcast just to see what reaction I get.
Until next time, stay safe and stay healthy.
