MMXX (2020)/Last

OK so I lied. NO OPPORTUNITY after today, this entry for another 2020 account, entry or report. Sitting, relieved, at Procrastination station Thanking the higher power (aka God) that today did not turn into a repeat performance of yesterday.

I SEE AN OPENING. LET ME GRAB AND PUT ON MY THERAPIST BURQUA POR FAVOR. STANDBY …

NEVERMIND. I will not ‘STANDBY’ rather full speed ahead. You can catch up later.

Yesterday I lost the entire day sorting out and troubleshooting a technology problem with the ‘smartphone.’ There were 3-4 calls with ISP T-Mobile tech support, one (1) dropped call and three (3) different tech experts before the ticket was cleared.

All three (3) were working remote from home. One boy (male) and two (dos, 2) females (girls). Eric was the first expert and we almost got there but had to flag off. Girl #1 tried (valiantly but in vain) to get me back to Eric and #3 finally squared things away however wiping the settings caused Yours truly to reset and re-pair all of the Bluetooth devices which was a royal PIA but now behind me.

I had a breakfast meeting on the square (historic downtown) venturing out foolishly in the cold, driving rain which turned into a longer session than necessary but that’s another story for another time.

Approaching record lows interior and after rising early and making a fire before heading out, the need IS there to rekindle. So IOW ‘short report'.

I stopped at El Rancho and got the annual fix of champurrado un puerco tamales (cinco = 5) because I could not for the life of me think of what a half-dozen or even six (seis ?) was.

Anyway, at home while still hot and warm both were started and greatly enjoyed. Muy bueno.

There was also a stop at McKPL and no luck with Grant’s memoirs or HST biography. Wait listed on each.

Librarian gave me as an option a Truman ‘cover’ … Cold War, etc by some Joe Scarboro.

I read the jacket real quick and I saw he worked for the NYT and said Thank you, Thank you very much but no. I have enough things to do and I can wait to read what I want and I am NOT SETTLING for a knock-off by a commie, pinko from the rag NYT.

SO SPECIAL PLANS TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR? TRADITIONS TO OBSERVE ??

Of course.

I have black-eyed peas thawing from the deep freeze, 2019 and THAT was a good year. I think I have a bag of dried BEP in the pantry however reducing freezer inventory, creating space there as well so all according to Plan(s).

Retire (bed) early preferred alone.

Tomorrow morning iffen the rain stops I will go for a walk around the block to see if I can tell the difference of the new year. Usually not but I check anyway. Who knows. I just might bump into Ms Right OR Wright. Wishful thinking.

I am 100% certain she IS out there but she probably lives in Tahiti, Guam or maybe Kwajalein. I certainly am NOT going to the ends of the Earth on such a hunch.

God will drop her off, Fed EX, UPS or maybe USPS. Perhaps the stork will drop a package.

Anyway, I salvaged the latter half of this day so I need to either rekindle the fire and burn some of this wood down or turn on the heat.

It’s hard to carve or paint when ones fingers are numb or you can’t feel them.

I hear that train a comin’ … (JCash)

Adios 2020 from Procrastination station Everyone.

Happy 2021 Fans.

See you next year !!

OH BROTHER …
