chatter from the Library Monkey

Headed to the road

I am pretty sure I am going out with the drunks — leaving Monday night or Monday evening and travel through the night. Most of my gas stops along the way — places I am pretty sure are cheap gas — are open 24 hrs. My thinking is I would like to get home on the First and get settled in and have at least 12 hours at home before I am to start work — of course that is likely when I post this. So I am about 30 hours from departure. I should probably start packing.

It will give me a chance to play around on the Internet, which I won’t have until then. Also to make sure everything is working at my apartment. I am not even sure what kind of weather they have had there.

I might even put my old cellphone on ebay, if I can figure out how to do that. No need to keep it. I could keep it as a back up, but I am not sure that is a smart idea, considering I got the new phone because I didn’t think it was working very well with the broken antenna. I forget if I mentioned, but the good news is the new phone allows me to use a headset.

Leaving in the evening will allow me to make some cell calls from the road after 9 p.m. and not have to use up minutes. I have a funny assessment of the world. Often I get the feeling that sales clerks a little condescending, acting as if I am not smart enough to get things. Ironically while I am thinking quite similar things about them. Like when I bought the cellphone .

My nap schedule is all screwed up…darn if there isn’t enough time to nap. Ahh the glory of getting old: complaining about not sleeping a lot.

Dinner was really good (and expensive) last night. They had a weird chandelier in the foyer. It was an assembly of glasses — mostly ones htat had handles (like mugs) that hung from a frame. It kind of reminded me of something like a ‘contraption.’ I don’t know what I mean like that, maybe like a visual Rube Goldberg contraption.

We just gave one of my friend’s cats some I.V. fluids. I have not had much problem with the allergies while I have been here, but I feel kind of nasally since then. The movie is in two hours, hopefully when we go out I can grab a dose of fresh air.

I get when I get home I will do a lot of playing with animated graphics, like I just did for about 10 minutes. It is like how some people play sudoku, I do graphics. like of my new cellphone.

I think I am about to end and perhaps start another one tomorrow. I don’t know what is going on with the Library, I am pretty sure my friend works on Monday, but last Monday the library wasn’t open. Probably in book sense, New Year’s Eve is the same as Christmas Eve. I could start exercising again.
