Today has been Tuesday, December 17th, 2025
It is cold out, but not as cold as it has been, so it’s relatively pleasant. Yancey had just left a little while ago. He was here during his visit, which means sitting on the couch 10 ft away from me and looking at his laptop, and doing work there.

Everyone else was on standby and pins and needles, so no one really stopped by, although Marcus and Yancy had interesting conversations and which I joined in on occasionally

I am attempting the late lunch once again. It worked well yesterday, so much so that all I had was a banana when I came home from work. And that was enough. I enjoyed the late lunch, it was Wendy’s, and it wasn’t bad, probably wasn’t that healthy, but it wasn’t the worst either

Bill and I caught up on Jeopardy yesterday, as well as two episodes of the Showtime series The Man Who Fell to Earth, which I’ve been enjoying and Bill has sort of been watching when he’s not looking at his tablet or phone.

I am thinking of getting halal food for lunch at a later time. We will see how week number four goes with this crew on 6th Avenue and 18th Street, as I said, the first visit was excellent, and each visit has been a little bit less than that.

Yancey is hosting a small get together after work tomorrow, and I am ambivalent about it. That part of me thinks I should go and make an appearance, even though that appearance is about 20 blocks away, whereas the PATH train is less than a block away

The week is halfway done, and as I had mentioned previously, I will be off the last 2 weeks of the year, taking 6 days off and applying them to the four days off as holidays as well as the weekend. It’s not a bad deal for me, I just want to sleep in

Bill is actually driving tomorrow, so that should alleviate some of the sadness that he has been going through the past couple of days. He’s been good at managing it, and I might have overstated his case yesterday It’s not as bad as all that I had said yesterday.

Should I make an appearance at Yancey’s little thing? I can go have a pint, socialize, smile have a hors d’oeuvre which is going to be passed around. It is at an Irish pub, and that could be a good thing, just a hello and a good night and an Irish exit perhaps

The super is supposed to stop by tonight around 7:00 p.m. to fix the sink, perhaps by using the snake once again to unclog whatever it is that is not happening. We shall see how that works out.

I have little or no faith, although part of me does wish I did so I could be happy about whatever it is that needs to be done
