( Wednesday NO PO) Today is National Shelfie Day, National Opposites day and National Irish Coffee Day...

Shelfie day is for book lovers to show "shelfies" of their bookcase(s) with some of their favorite books, I have like 5 bookcases in my living room and I should ask Rick to take some pix, though there are knick-knack (y) things in front of some of the books...I may still l do it, think it is a cool idea...Opposites Day is supposed to be to say exactly the opposite of what you mean during the day, especially with children apparently, seems like a fun idea to me...I have never had Irish Coffee, but, going by the ingredients ( though I have never had Irish Whiskey either...lol)...I think I would like it...strong coffee, Irish Whiskey, Sugar and topped with cream.

Well, unless things go horribly wrong, my new job is all set up. Just have to do a DOT physical and urinalysis tomorrow morning. Should be a no-brainer. I hope this is as good as it sounds.

Wait, I thought you had turned it down because they wanted you to work like 1,000,000 hours a week. Is this a different one?

That is a very specific "day." :lol:

I used to read a lot. As in I I always had a book within arms reach. Then I had a kid. I started my last book while we were in the hospital with him and I think I got through chapter 2. I really need to go back and read that one, it was pretty interesting. Even as much as I read my bookshelf is far from impressive. I just don't hold on to books. I pass them along, trade them or whatever. With my dyslexia reading a book is a pretty big commitment and there aren't a lot of books I want to reread.

Different job. This one pays better hourly, and is a Monday through Friday gig, 7:00 to 4:00. Looks good. I'm doing my pre employment physical and drug screening right now.

Thank you. Now if I can just get through this physical. It's super busy. But at least the receptionist is super cute. (But way too young for me.)(But then again Buzz Aldrin just married a woman 30 years his junior.)
