Running Low On Ki...
Sitting down this morning, it was my intention to concoct a funny, clever perhaps even amusing entry.

Still standing...
The week’s been going by smoothly. We’ve been closing extraordinarily early, between four and four-thirty. Something to do with that catholic holiday this weekend… Tonight is my friend Nancy’s final night shift. I’ll be taking her to breakfast in the morning to celebrate her new found freedom.

X-Mas Day
Slept late. Woke to the sounds of holiday music and the aroma of fresh espresso. Had x-mas eve left overs for brunch. Fondled Assassin's Creed for a spell.
After Noon:
Cleaned house. Washed two massive loads of laundry (thank Gods for uality washing mecha). Threw out dated periodicals.
Early Evening:
