today was a cold, wet, windy day and my arthritis has been really giving me a rough going over, with church and choral practice this afternoon i sat in some very uncomfortable chairs for way to long, and i'm very stiff and sore right now, will take a hot bath after abit and that should help......
except for the physical problems today wasn't a half bad day, i really enjoy singing and eventhough practicing can be tedious at times it still is fun, and there is nothing like the experience of being in the middle of the music being made......

it was a warm, sunny, nice morning so of course i was working, by the time i decided to go for a drive this afternoon i was on the road for maybe 5 minutes and it started to rain and turned nasty....
work went very well this morning considering that it took at least 15 minutes for my knee to loosen up and stop making me see stars everytime i put my foot down, have no idea what i did this time to get it going but am well aware of what i have done through the years to it, so while it was a mild surprise i certainly wasn't shocked.....but i digress........actually got everything....inventory entry, monthly inventory finished up, resin report run and all my req's done in 2 hours......normally takes a half day.....but i made sure that i ran a hard copy on my req's......they looked ok but i think i'll recheck 'um monday......maybe i'll be more with it
stopped and got some fresh veggies to make a sour salad, one of my favorite things....tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, a fresh red pepper, garlic, salt,pepper,a bit of basil, a bit of oregano, a dash of olive oil and a large slug of balsamic vinegar, shake well in a covered bowl and pop in the frig for 5 or 6 hours......

lord i've just felt off all day, not sick, just a bit off, like i'm 2 seconds out of synch with the rest of the world, but at least i haven't had a repeat of the klutz attack from last night....work went ok but really didn't get all i need to get done, done, and the a delivery was late so i left a bit after normal time....need to go in tomorrow as production is back on 6 days, numbers need to be entered and month end inventory needs to be finished,
i've been going out to dinner most friday nights and had thought earlier in the day i might give dad a call and take him out, but by 4:30 i was glad i didn't, just ran some errands and picked up a sub on the way home. i don't do the sub thing very often, only when i'm too tired to go out, and have no interest in trying to cook for myself....
i actually don't mind the cooking part, it's the eating alone part that gets to me......
had a talk with rick today and as the time of the election draws near, and with rick the hardcore dem, and kerry supporter the conversation ended up political.......i am still hoping that they let me take a coin in the booth with me.......not that my vote will make much difference, with the electoral college system, popular vote is meaningless, and since ny is heavily dem regardless of how i vote kerry will get the electoral votes for this state.....but it is important to me......i wish just once in a vote for president i can make a positive vote, but in all the elections i've voted in (starting in 72)....and yes that's 1972 and not 1872.........my vote has always seemed to be against a candidate rather then for one...........kerry is just a little too far left for me to feel comfortable with, and bush.....(and i did vote for him the first time around)........i just haven't liked the way he has handled things........if there was a viable 3rd party candidate, a centralist i'd vote that way but there just isn't..........(trollie shakes head and mutters)

(trollie comes in......he is wearing a party hat....he is carrying a birthday cake with two candles......troll54 where are you is two years old today............he sets the cake on one of the supports for the bridge........he arranges the party favors for his guests..........the gift that keeps on giving......hand grenades.......the pot is already boiling...........he does hope that the first guest is tender..........)

it was quite cold over night, i knew because i woke up with a cat plastered to both sides and one on my chest, i open my eyes and the first thing i see is this fuzzy little face about 6 inches from my face , with that look in her eyes that said, good your finally awake, play with the cat......
got out to the car and it was completely frosted over.....and i was running a little behind as it was....i hate the hassle that cold weather makes of the morning commute
work when alright except i had a load which was loaded on a refrigerated trailer, that had an extra unit on the side wall in back which i had to work around....
i've really been a klutz tonight, i've spilled, dumped, dropped, tripped over and general messed up everything i've tried to do.....i'm just a little shaky tonight....old age is not fun!!!!!!!!!!!

not a bad day, had a hand load late that took way longer then it should have, been all things considered everything went ok.......
have just hung out tonight, really should have put the stew pot on tonight but just didn't have the will to do it....will probably take care of it tomorrow, or maybe wait until the week end.......

not a bad day at work, not a good day, just a day....did my weekly grocery shopping........
had a really good rehearsal tonight, but the drive home was a bit hairy....the fog was pretty think, and i must confess to having some night vision problems which are aggravated by the fog...
note to self:.....you really should get a newspaper and read it......my morning commute was extended because they had the pearl street bridge closed....again.......nuts.....but don't give you any warning until your right on top of it ........

first day back to work and everything was pretty well in hand, well except for the resin schedule and that took several hours to get back into shape, i did December's orders while i was at it, would have had to have then placed by next week anyways and while i was juggling delivery dates i figured i might as well get the ordering in too..........
feel really good tonight, not tired really, and very low stress level.......but need to try to get to bed early.......got in the habit of sleeping late on vacation and 7:00 was a shock this morning.........

i am sitting here tonight which a whole boat load of mixed emotions over several different topics and don't know which to deal with first, but there has been a development in the on going problem that i never mention directly in this place, and it maybe positive but i can see where it could blow up into something very nasty....well out of my control so will just have to wait and see
i'm bummed and frustrated with the direction that worship team is taking, i have invested a lot of time and effort in it, and it has really been taking off of late, and a recent change might as we used to say throw a monkey wrench in the works.......
and my vacation is over.....must go to work tomorrow........sorrow....many tears
but i feel good, am rested, stress level is low, had a blast at choral practice today, we spent the entire practice working on the commission piece, i have never had the chance to be part of a world premier and this is it........a link to the composer's bio
i'm going to hang out in #blogshares for a while and then call it a night

dang, i've been in a cloud all day, my mind feels like it's fog bound, just have veggied most of the day, went out to get a few things got home, and remembered that i had forgotten the one thing i went out for to begin with.......mercy........
beautiful day and i spent it in doors...........good grief i am sometimes pathetic........(/pity party)
actually looking forward to going back to work, i'm rested, and my stress level is at a manageable level, and i'm ready to get back at it.........

it was actually a nice day today, mid 50'sF, and very little wind, and i felt physically well below par so just hung out today and played some stronghold crusader.....in a way a waste of a nice day when my vacation is almost over and nice days are at a premium this time of years with winter right around the corner......but i feel very relaxed tonight and mentally feel quite good....
took day out to dinner tonight, went to a local chinese buffet...and really had a great time...have watched a little tube and i think i'll surf for a while and hang out at #blogshares

i've been a fan of survivor since the second set of shows, the outback, and of all of the different groups this is the one where the voting patterns make no sense to me at all. the point after all is to get to the merge with numbers, and although you need to be watchful for the strong individual you need to carry at least a few to the merge to insure winning immunity and numbers in the merge.....and yet by enlarge all those types players are already gone....single events seem to determine who goes at virtually every tribal council without any really foresight.......but it does prove entertaining because unlike all the rest this one seems to be impossible to predict, there is no clear "favorite"....truly anyone still there coulkd concievebly win.......

a dreary depressing day weather wise and my mood has fit the day, never rolled out of bed until after 9 and really didn't want to then.......eventually went and got my check and did my banking....got lunch out but really didn't;t have the energy or the inclination to do a dang thing today so just didn't.....

well i awoke this morning without a cold.......which really surprised me greatly.....on the downside i am really stiff and sore...the arthritis is flaring a bit this morning so i did pick up some negatives from the chill i took yesterday....i need to run a few errands so will be heading out for a bit but i think i will stay in most of the day.......
cats have been very strange this morning....very clingy.....but it's cold and a bit damp so it;s probably a matter of warmth.......fall.....That's late fall as it slides into winter is definitely with us.....
i had thought about taking another ride today to scout for leaves but i fear that the ride would only take the stiff and sore condition i find myself in and make it worse......i enjoy riding.....looking at the colors and finding old buildings.....interesting views......but the downside is i don't ride well....i get stiff and sore way to easily.......it's better if i ride as opposed to drive......but i can't afford a driver........so...........i declare this day a day of rest.......

normally i'd be on my way to rehearsal tonight, but it was canceled, the lead is sick and there really is no point in trying to rehearse if he isn't there....bought some frozen chicken kiev this week.....i'm not much for frozen specialties but thought i'd try them and their not bad....had a nice dinner with some yellow beans (just about my favorite veggie, a nice buttered hard roll and iced tea......have finally started to warm up but i think i'll take some cold medicine tonight as a preventitive.......i got quite chilled and feel like i could be coming down with a cold.......

it was a cool but sunny day in town so decided that i'd play golf....still wanted to play at least one more time and this time of year you take what chances you get..........
however:
mistake 1: didn't factor in to the play equation that i was going up near the river, and fairly open terrain.......about low 40's and about 15-20 MPH winds......
mistake 2: decided to play anyways
mistake 3: decided to play a second 9
result: 1 frozen trollie
i really didn't realize how cold i had gotten until the ride home, and when i had the heater on in the car, my ears were tingling the way they do when they've gotten really cold and then they warm up a bit too quickly.......
had leftovers for lunch...a late one and am sitting here with a nice warm pot of ceylon tea and am warm now.........but am thinking of taking a hot bath.....
i never really have tolerated cold very well, and as i get older i tolerate it even less....which begs the question of why i live in an area that gets down to at least -20*F virtually every winter....the only answer i can give is that i'm dumb as a box of rocks

was actually a nice sunny day today, which was a real change from yesterday, but cool and windy....had thought about playing golf this afternoon if it warmed up a little but it didn't so just ran some errands and did my grocery shopping...had lunch at the Apollo......which is kind of a cross between a restaurant and a diner......but serves greek specialties.......and has gyros down.....had an open face gyro sandwich, fries and coffee...really hit the spot.....ran into a driver i haven't seen for a while and discovered that he's semi-retired.....know the guy for probably 25 years, had a nice chat.......
made some beef barbecues for supper and then cheese and tropical fruit for desert, a little mango, a little prickily pear, and both cheddar and blue cheese....cheese and fruit is a combination that i really love for dessert, not a sweet dessert to be sure...but i don't really have a sweet tooth....
have just watched a little tube tonight.......no plans..... a perfect vacation............controlled by my to favorite things.....whim and impulse......

a miserable fall day. rainy.cold and windy. just an absolute bone chiller. and as usual for a sunday very hectic, my voice is raw. it seems that i started the day with a bit of a sore throat and every piece we went over in rehearsal was a high screamer......i feel decent physically tonight except for the voice but i'm just bone tired......
newsgroups/forums are weird.......it seems sometime times that the simplest post, one that you never would even consider that some one could take offense to can turn into a war..... well i'm not playing that game......reread the post and there was nothing there that any rational person could have taken offense to, started an apology and then thought i ain't going to do it.....if the original caused a problem the apology would solve nothing...+ i did nothing wrong to begin with. i don't mind apologizing for a mistake.........but i just can tolerate apologizing when i've done nothing wrong........goes against the grain........

just a quiet, lazy day. went out for a bit this morning and ran a few errands but stayed in the rest of the day, had in the back of my mind that i would go out to dinner, seeing as how i hadn't last night ( if i eat out it's usually on friday) but just almost on autopilot made dinner before i remembered i was thinking of going out.........i just didn't have the desire to get out of the house......
cats have been weird all day.....several fights and they all seem to want to cuddle....which is no problem one at a time.....problem is 2 or more (maximum of 3) want to cuddle at the same time....hence the fights..........
i feel pretty good tonight other then the fact that my bad is a bit tender....probably the almost 3 hours in the car yesterday when i went looking for fall leaves.......i am not one who travels well....i get stiff and sore from extended trips....it's better when i ride as opposed to driving but even then i need to take a break every 2 hours or so and even then at times it's still a problem.....

had a very nice drive this morning, went up route 3 into starlake....which is in the western edge of the adironacks........really pretty fall colors but a strange mix.....much of the reforestation that was done years ago was with pine trees......so you have a mix of brilliant fall colors against a back drop as it where of the green of the fir trees.......had half played with the idea of playing golf at the little nine hole course in starlake....but it was closed for the season...and at the point i was feeling a little sick.......cut back accrossed 58 to 11 so as to not just drive out and back and no sooner hit 11 then it started to rain.....got a sandwich which i ate on the way back........really nice ride though......just let the mind float and watch the sea of colors stream by the windows......been a dreary afternoon and i decided not to go out to dinner.....just stayed home and had some stew.......did not sleep well last night......really the first bad nights sleep i've had all week.....i'm tired but feel okay......glad that i decided to take the second weeks vacation.......i'm recovering from the state i was in but not as quickly as i had hoped or even thought i would......but i believe age effects us in that way too........pardon the stream of un-related thought.......but that is the way they are flooding tonight.......many pieces to a puzzle but i fear that it's many pieces to many puzzles and none are making much sense to night...........but not in a frustrating way....i'm rather amused by the whole thing

it's only 9:30 and i'm trying to fall asleep on my keyboard....lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.........(trollie wakes back up........)
i can't figure it out, i had a nice full day but really can't imagine why i should be this tired this early......old age might have something to do with it (nah that can't be it)........well i ain't going to fight it...i'm too tired (hehe)......night all

it has been an interesting day so far......actually at the time of this writing and interesting 8+ hours...so i thought i'd take the time to write now....rather then later while everything is fresh in my mind....nothing earth shaking to be sure just nutty, strange maybe, and mundane.....but interesting to me
phone woke me at a little after 8 AM ( give me a break people i'm on vacation here)...it was work and they had a problem...which i didn't seem to be able to solve over the phone and since i needed to go over to pick up my check i spent a half an hour getting everyone on the same page....and then cashed my check and got gas.....at a record for me $2.14+ per gallon.....
decided to play golf and headed out to chaumont bay to play bay breeze, a course i've never played and when i got there, there was no one around....and not having ever played there before didn't feel like just playing first and trying to find some one to pay later....decided to head for clayton by away of lafargville....hoping to try LA golf (again i've never played there but heard it wasn't bad and was near lafargville......which is just a bit bigger then a blink and plum town....you do know what a blink and plum town is.....you blink and you're plum out of town (rim shot)).....figuring if i couldn't find LA golf i'd play one of the courses in clayton or alex bay.....so i drive through lafargville on 180...no sign, no golf course so i decided not to look further but just stay on 180 until i got to route 3 and decided which way from there, and then about 4 or 5 miles out of town guess what i find LA golf....
really had not expectations of what it would be like, course is only 10 years old and i understand the ownership changed a few years back....but was pleasantly surprised...greens were in real good shape considering it's fall in the northcountry...they had a deal going so i rode......nice course.....but when i went to the trunk realized i had my "short course" set and no 3 wood....well i survived( full account of round can be found here, yah...yah i know you don't care...but i don't care that you don't care)
took the long way home, colors are in the trees....not prime yet but very nice..we've had a couple of years of pretty sad fall colors and this one looks to be a real good one
stopped and got take out for lunch....watched a little tube and the phone rings.....work again.....simple problem...simply solved....
about 2:30PM decided to go out to the mall and just do a little window shopping....but as i was getting into the car up come two mormon missionaries.....now i have had a few well i guess you could say unfriendly encounters with MM's before but this duet was female of all things.....now that isn't something you didn't see until just recently......had a very interesting conversation which after they left i discovered was about one hour.......i didn't change their minds and of course they had no chance of changing mine but it was very enlightening....
so just a few observations from the mall:
1) i couldn't help but notice how ethnic watertown has become.....i for one love diversity and thing it's great but when we moved here 30+ years ago it was virtually all white bread ( ok so they was a large loaf of italian bread there too).......
2) three 20 something guys walking together, all on cellphones but only one is talking....the other two can't seem to make a connection.....(trollie wonders if all three are trying to call the same girl)
3) to the young man in the video game store...it is really not necessary for you to play with your girl friend's butt in public......yes i agree it is a beautiful example of a female hind quarters, and yes i can see why you can't leave your hands off it.....but in the middle of the mall.........oh please
..................
oh and one other thing........the NY state law on right on red is you stop and then make the turn if safe......and it isn't safe when trollie has a green arrow for a left hand turn in front of you.....i've got to get that grenade launcher mounted on my car.......

(this is a test, i had a probleming publishing earlier and want to see if it's corrected)

just a down day today, didn't do much, just rested, did go out a bit to do some window shopping and ended up with a new pair of casual shoes...nice suede tops with a sneaker type bottom....but just hung out today.....

Will Politics From the Pulpit Affect the Vote? if i may quote from the above article "Mincing words is necessary because Parsley's church is a tax-exempt organization, and Internal Revenue Service rules prohibit religious leaders from endorsing candidates from the pulpit. " i guess the constitution and the bill of rights has no bearing on the rules of the IRS.....

another great nights sleep and even though i feel a little "off" tonight, i am as rested as i have been in a long time...made a call to work to let them know i've decided to take next week off as well....
played golf this morning and just kicked around the rest of the day....cider i bought saturday is gone and i got a new gallon....
played around again with the trollie stew i made today and added lentils to this batch...interesting addition....probably won't do that all the time but a nice change of pace

had a great night's sleep and just kicked around this morning....a little laundry....a little surfing the web and a little watching of a monster garage marathon on discovery.....had the last of the stew for lunch and decided to go out a get something else to throw in the pop.....well 3 stores later the plans for dinner where changed....there is a store that sell good new york state chedder the old way....there's a piece of bulk cheese under a glass cover and you buy it the size you want and they hand cut it from the block.....got about a half pound of sharp ( and to be honest all of it didn't get home...never does....can never resist the temptation to sample abit on the way home )......decided to do the weekly grocery thing and the store i shop at had just taken the italian bread out of the oven...it was still warm....all that did it....and supper became open faced broiled cheese sandwiches and fresh made onion soup......lovely......the making of the stew can wait until tomorrow......
got home and discovered a message from work on the machine.....no big deal.....one phone call and it was handled.....i don't think i've ever had a vacation without at least one call from work.....but on the first day seems to be a bad omen.......

a very typical sunday, hectic and i'm tired the good news is i've got this week off, the bad news is i saw the head of the foundation over the week end, the company i work for handles the foundation's shipments.......and he's got a big shipment he wants out this week.......(trollie leaves to unplug his telephone).......
i have nothing planned really for the week and i will fight anyone who tries to change my plans........nothing is what it really need to do for the week......i'm tired and need rest....
i got the worst nights sleep last night i have had in ages and everytime i work up a certain cat was misbehaving.......usually she's pretty calm and night but last night.......

i am sitting here with a cup of ceylon tea and listening to faure's requiem ( probably my single favorite mass ) and barely keeping my eyes open, i've been up for less then 12 hours, have done in essence nothing all day and am dead tired.....this has happened to me on many other occasions.....i keep going and going and when i finally take an extended rest....i crash out for a couple of days...i won't be surprised if i end up with a cold as well, that's the typical pattern for me when i crash......busy day as usual tomorrow.....i was joking with dad tonight that maybe the jewish way of looking at things is correct and saturday is the day of rest not sunday.....at least from my point of view

i hate it when my plans get changed, particularly when i had no plans to begin with (hehe)....the only plans i have for my vacation is to have no plan at all.....and to rest and listen only to whim and impulse....but sis called this afternoon....they had to leave dad alone for supper (he's 89 and lives with my sister's family) and wondered if i could take him to dinner, which i of course did..i've been thinking of asking him but something always seems to get in the way....usually work.....but we had fun and a decent meal....i like to tease him ( it's the family's favorite sport) about you know you're really old when your son takes you to dinner and you both get the senior discount.......

never got out of bed this morning until a very decadent 9:30, but it felt good, i feel as rested as i have in a long time....kicked around online and made a late breakfast and a pot of coffee about a quarter to eleven.....coffee and i are have a funny relationship....i never make coffee or order it out between the end of may and the end of september, i will occasionally drink a cup at work but other then that nada......but from october to the end of may i drink it by the gallons.....being the cold weather months......hot tea i drink year round, but for some reason i associate coffee with the cold weather......
got out about noon and decided to head down to a fruit and veggie stand between adams and adams center, was really looking for some cider but ended up with brussel sprouts and a turnip....no cider......so cut across 177 out of adams center over the edge of tughill and into burrville the back way.......not a road i'd choose in the winter.....snow fall up on tughill is heavy...
anyways was headed to the
cider mill in burrvile.....there has been a mill there since 1801.....but it was packed and i really didn't want to park on the road and walk in, so decided to stop at another fruit and veggie stand on the east of the city, which usually has pretty good cider...
i really in enjoy the early cider the best....usually made with macs and cortlands.....the later cider made with the late apples is okay but i like the early the best. also the kind i get has no preservatives in it so it will "turn" abit if left for awhile.......i love natural "carbonation".......

so i go in early today at 6:30 to make sure everything is ready for my 7:00 load, driver has to make a gate in port elizabeth by 4:00PM.....and what time does he get there.....(drum roll).......you guessed it a little after 11:00........(trollie mumbles something under his breath)....no chance of making the gate so the load will miss the boat....literally........and that's basically the way the entire day went........but........the good news is i was out of there at 3:30PM and am on vacation for at least a week and maybe tw0.........haven't decided yet......
was very warm for october today....almost 80*F........so was pretty stinky by the time i got off so came home...showered and ran a few errands and went out for dinner......i've been trying to do that lately on friday......puts a period to the end of the work week.......
will watch american casino in a bit and then i think i'll go to bed early.....am really beat down into my socks tonight......

nuts, the load i was should have loaded today got delayed until tomorrow and because it has a 4:00 gate at the pier and since we're 6+ hours from said pier i have to go in early and load at 7 AM. actually i think anyone who expects me to be awake enough to drive forklift at 7 AM is out of their minds but........
not a bad day.....one more day and i'm on vacation.....at least a week and maybe two....haven't decided yet but i think i might......i need the rest....mostly i need to get out of the "pressure cooker".......i'm more stressed out i think then worn out.......
did my banking after work and ran a few errands......i'm looking forward to going out to dinner tomorrow.....i actually enjoy cooking...i like the challenge..but i also like the idea of eating out.....actually don't do that very often but it's like a period at the end of the week........

i have spent the entire day in a fog, thank goodness it was a relatively unchallenging day, because my powers of logic and concentration were about nil (i hope this is an industrial strength spell checker that blogger has installed because if not with the way i'm jumbled today it will probably blow a fuse when i use it)
just two more days and i'm on vacation, was informed today that i have been given a small raise and retro to my anniversary date so i will have a little extra cash for vacation...nice timing.....however i am sure that some unexpected bill will pop out of the woodwork and steal it away.....i know always the optimist

i really don't know whether this will post or not, i've been trying to publish a change for a 1/2 hour and the process just keeps grinding away with no result.....i want to add a babelfish translator to the site....so with one click a visitor could translate the blog into a different language....i have noticed recently a few hits from non-english search engines and thought that it might be a neat feature....but can't get the dang page to publish.......
did the trip through inventory with the auditor today and the only exception we found really wasn't, apparently when preparing the sheets that the auditor uses, there was a clerical error made and a line was added to the count......i went nuts trying to find something that wasn't there....had i done that particular area i would have tumbled to the problem a lot quicker but as it was i had only checked the disagreements between the independent counts on those products and so wasn't aware of the obvious........of course i've been accused of missing the obvious before even when i should have know.......
rehearsal went well to night, am tired and need to sleep

yesterday was a long, hectic day and by the time that it was over was pretty well all in, particularly because i was already very tired from the inventory i had done the end of the week, i was too tired and lacked the mental clarity to even try to post last night.....
went in today with only one job to do, that was post all the changes to the computer inventory....so naturally i got in and the system was down......so by the time they got it up and running i had lost about an hour or so......but things went pretty well and i was basically done by 3 pm, but only had a few loose ends to tie up and got out on time.......need to spend tomorrow with the auditors and then that mess is done for another year......i still need to do monthlies but they are a snap compared with the year end......

i was exhausted last night, and had the best night sleep i've had in ages, got up a little after 8 and decided to go out to breakfast and then do a little shopping, discovered that the place i usually go to for breakfast isn't open early, but is having a saturday brunch at 10.....well that shot that deal....got some things for the weekly stew and ran into friend rick.....guy from work....he's going to miss sometime here in a bit, has a problem with an eye and needs to get that taken care of......in all that happened i plum forgot to get a couple of things and decided to go out to dinner instead.....well got home kicked around had a light lunch and started the stew....but the beef i had bought was a little thicker that what i normally get so ut took long er then what i had planned...by the time it was done, it was almost 4:30, i was hungry, the weather was foul so i just made some garlic bread i had in the freezer and pigged out on the stew.....
i feel physically ok today but mentally i'm still toast, inventory is not a physical drain as much as a mental one.......

well i worked from 6am to 6:30pm today but got all the raw counts for inventory done and checked everything so that really is the stressful part of inventory done.....still need to get the changes done into the computer but that doesn't need to be done until monday and then i will spend tuesday with the auditors.....
was going to go out for dinner tonight but was just to wasted and just had a large salad for supper...my plan is to go to breakfast and run some errands tomorrow morning, if i wake up in time, if not that errands and stop for lunch.......
