I tell you, this change in the weather, as well as the sun going down when leaving work, takes a lot out of me. This afternoon at work, this Friday, December 5, had me wanting to take a nap. I knew that would not be available to me, just out of reach. My eyelids were heavy, and I just knew a half hour of sleep would do me good. But no, it was not attainable. It was too late for a coffee since I generally stop drinking coffee around noon.

A few years ago, Bill and I had dinner in the City with his friend Big Mac and his daughter, and it was an early dinner. I had one cup of coffee around 7:00 PM, and at 1:00 AM, I was unable to sleep. It reinforced the concept of no coffee in the PM time frame. And I’ve been good with it mostly. Maybe a can of soda every now and then, but nothing too much.

It is cold. Winter has arrived, though it is unofficial. This is the fall, autumn. What all those people wanted when they stated in September how much they like the fall, “The leaves are turning color”. It does not last, and now the trees are barren and looking skeletal. The days are getting shorter.

The good and faithful Pixel 6a is en route to its final destination. I ordered a cover for the Pixel 9a, but I think my eyes might’ve been a bit bloodshot, and I wound up ordering a case for the Pixel 6a, which I do not have anymore. I found that out when I went to pick up the new case, and when I opened it, I saw Pixel 6a on the box. I checked the order, and it also said Pixel 6a. I can be so dumb.

Not the end of the world, and I just checked once again to see if I ordered the correct case for the Pixel 9A. I did, but I will more than likely check again and again until it gets delivered to me at my job on Monday. Is that OCD?

Last night I texted Kimberly and Anise and asked each of them to reply as I had a quick question. Neither one did. There was a monthly team meeting scheduled and I was going to ask Kimberly & Anise what time the meeting starts. With no reply, I arrived early enough to have a bagel & coffee and then sat in the conference room waiting for Yancy and the workmates to arrive and they never did.

I headed to Anise’s desk and found that Yancy had cancelled the meeting yesterday. The cancellation was made on the office calendar. No email or text stating the meeting was cancelled. So it was a walk from 31st Street to 14th Street in the cold morning. As long as one is dressed properly and has a destination, I did not think it was so bad, and it wasn’t.
