Wrong line service

Yesterday I wrote. Today Tuesday, December 16th, 2025, I dictate. I am a dictator. Hahaha.

Well, I got a Christmas card from Elaine, so I’m sending her a Christmas card as well as Annemarie, Brian, and Billie in DC, Meg and Rob, and Julio and Stine.

I am not looking for anything in return, so whereas I used to send photographs with the cards. I am not doing that this year. It seems I had forgotten, and once I had sealed the envelopes, that’s when I remembered, so it’s much too late for that.

Bill was supposed to be on the road, and he is not, so he is disappointed, and I just called him and woke him up from a nap, so I think he’s a little stressed about that, which probably means he is going to be depressed for the holidays, perhaps.

He was depressed for my birthday, and he’s going to be depressed for these holidays, so it’s financial depression, and it’s affecting him adversely, I think. Not that he said anything to me about it

Mike is planning to take Bill and me out for dinner. I am aiming for between the holidays. I am off the last 2 weeks of the year, and I think it’s a good idea we’re looking at the Elysian Cafe, which is low-key and tasty, cozy with good food, and affordable.

Mike has told me that he’s putting away money for that. Elaine has invited the three of us to Christmas dinner, so that should be nice. Mike is happy to be invited, and I asked Elaine if she didn’t come out and say it, but I asked if we could bring him, and she said yes.

One of my Facebook accounts is still persona non grata, and they’re not responding to anything, so there’s nothing I can do about it but just maintain the secondary account, which is actually the first account.

I am listening to remixes of Christmas hits from a CD mix from Harpy. Harpy has nothing to say to anyone, as far as I know these days. It is awfully quiet in the office, which is not so bad, I suppose. I cannot believe this job, though.

I asked if bonuses were coming our way from Jimmy Chile, and he said no, they were not, so it’s better to know than not know.

I am going to have a later lunch, which should be okay with regard to dinner.

I was thinking of a 4:00 lunch, but it’s 2:35 right now, and I’m getting hungry, so I think I’m looking at the 3:00 lunch instead, which is not so bad.

When I get back to Hoboken, I will have to drop off the Christmas cards at the post office and hope for the best. I went to the bibliothèque, where I saw Angel and Deborah making those Bibliothèque patrons quite happy

I just played 2 episodes of the cancelled Showtime TV series, The Man Who Fell to Earth. I bought the series a few weeks ago. Bill has been watching from the sidelines while doing computer things on his tablet and phone
