Joe's New Blog

Nothing special, this is just my third effort at writing a blog about my life and what goes on in it: Hobbies, cooking, work, maybe the occasional book or DVD review, and so forth. Nothing really noteworthy, but this is sort of a little subset of my world...

Planning for the day...

So, after doing almost nothing that I wanted to get done yesterday, and almost nothing that really needed to get done, I'm going to give it another try today. The girlfriend just got up and is taking a shower, so I'm going to wait until she heads off to work in half an hour or so, then I'm going to take myself a shower, have a cup of coffee, and get my show on the road.

I have to finish filling out the form for the distribution of my retirement, and then get that sent in to the people who manage the fund. Fortunately, it's not that much of a form, really. While I'm mailing that off, I need to find out how much these stamps are worth, so we can use them for mailing off stuff in general. I'm not sure if they're the ones that are good for the cost of a first-class letter no matter when you bought them, or what. I got them a few years ago, and I don't know if they had that program going then. Guess I'll find out when I stop at the post office on the way down toward Lewisville.

She has a rebate form for her new cell phone, and she wants to get that mailed off. Which I'll do after I get back from hopefully making some money at Half-Price Books. I also need to see if I can find the next book in her series. In her line of work, having some reading material isn't really a luxury. It's pretty much a necessity for keeping one's sanity. So, I'll try to see that she gets her next novel. That's about the only thing I'm going to be buying down there, though...

And, if I'm feeling good when I get back here, I might go out and start working on the patio or vacuum the floors. Of course, I also really need to update my resume, since the one I'm sending out now obviously isn't doing me a damned bit of good...
