Tired yet again. One of these days I am going to sleep all day. I need to get a good full night's sleep. More than six hours please. Some day.

We got some disappointing news last night. Our planned comedy show for tomorrow has been postponed. The comic got COVID and had to cancel. The shitty part is the theater he is at doesn't have any openings for him until Feb 2024! I decided to hold the tickets and not get a refund. Gives us something to look forward to in 2024. Of course instead of standing outside a theater at 9pm on the janky streets of Detroit, now we get to stand on those same streets in the snow. Fun. Hopefully they will take that into consideration and let us in early. I'll let you know in five months.

Spent the day working on classes, gave a presentation, and otherwise did normal work stuff. After work we went downtown to this divorce webinar being offered by a legal firm. While the drive was a bitch and we were the only ones there for most of it, it was worth the time. I learned a couple of new things and now know the next steps. Very useful. Since we didn't want to drive right back in traffic, we had noodles downtown. See, this is the frustrating thing. When I tell people we want to move because there's nothing near us, everyone says oh what about Detroit. They're partially right. Yes, there are some cool places in Detroit. Our noodles were the bomb. It was a great dinner. BUT parking was atrocious, we didn't feel safe walking the streets back to the car, and getting in and out was a nightmare. Took us almost an hour to get back home and it's 21 miles. What the fuck? It was more frustrating than it should have been.

On the way home we stopped for milkshakes for dessert. Came home and watched The Thing. I enjoyed it. I feel it holds up well. C was okay with it. Difference of course is I grew up with the kind of practical effects and find them cool. To her it's a bit cheesy. Fair enough. Same way I feel when I look at the stop motion effects of the 60s. All relative. Either way, another movie down. Went to bed around 10:30.

Almost the weekend. Just got to get through a couple of days more.
