Y6 D3

Good morning! I am up early without any real reason but it's not a problem. I got about 7 hours of good solid sleep. This bed rearrangement appears to be helping me. I seriously slept like a log again last night. That's two nights in a row. I could get used to this.

Worked on some documentation and catch up yesterday. Got a nice text from my director around 1. She and her husband were going to the movies near us and invited us to join. Unfortunately it was too early for us to make it, but I did appreciate her thinking of us. Took a break to go to the grocery store around 3. Made chicken breasts in cream of mushroom soup for dinner. That actually turned out pretty well. I made it up on the fly and was surprised at how tasty it was. I also did some fresh squash with it. After dinner B and I went out for ice cream. I had a pleasant surprise happen yesterday. Technically two things, both in the mail.

First my buddy sent me a shirt from his radio show he does. I will wear it proudly! So thank you for that. I love the shirt. Secondly, I got a check from work. I don't normally get expense checks because of money I owe the company (which at this point should be zero, but whatever) and because I put everything on my corporate card. Imagine my surprise to get a $300 check in the mail yesterday. I called our CFO and double checked with him that it was right. He said yep, cash it. It was mileage reimbursement for my trip to Reno. Since that's not a tangible and did directly put wear and tear on my car, it was mine. Yay! While we were out for ice cream I deposited the check. B wanted to go to the pet store to pick up some soft claws for her cat and we decided to pop into Home Goods and Best Buy since they were right next door. I ended up buying a new printer. Ours has been dead for about a month now. It has been generating an error code and when I looked into it, it was going to be $50-$75 to have it repaired. That wouldn't be an issue except I only paid $80 for it in the first place. There was a newer Canon model of the same thing on sale at Best Buy last night. Guess how much? Yep. $80. New printer purchased. I am going to give the old one to a friend who does repair work and if he can make it work, then all the better. By the time we got back I didn't feel like setting it up and figured I would save that for today. We relaxed, watched some TV, put the caps on her cat, and headed off to bed.

So far this new year is starting off pretty damn swell. More documents and the like today.
