Sunday, December 29/19
So my goal for today was to get up early and hit the gym to ride the bike as part of my preventive physio on my left knee before coming home to watch the Green Bay @ Detroit game for 1 pm.
That was the plan but a somewhat severe case of food poisoning from last night saw me up most of the night and feeling a tad bit dehydrated today and put to rest my gym plans, working out the next morning after spending the night puking is never a great approach, so today was spent drinking a lot of liquids, having some oatmeal for breakfast, and soup for lunch. Now that almost 24 hours have passed my appetite is coming back and I'm wondering what solids I might be able to have for dinner.
Oddly enough, my son suffered the same fate but not to the same extent as he didn't eat as much of his meal we shared at a local restaurant, one we've been to numerous times without incident, and because this is likely just one of those one-off things I'm not naming the establishment as it's not fair to hurt the business with something like this.
The only good thing was that Green Bay somehow managed to pull its head out of its ass and win the game in the final seconds, securing a first-round bye and should Seattle manage to beat San Francisco later tonight, the Packers would have the home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, and trust me when I say this, nobody outside of Green Bay wants to play a game at Lambeau Field in January lol
I did use the time spent recuperating on the couch to work on my 2020 budget so I can keep an eye on my expenses and maybe manage to take a trip somewhere in the fall or early next year, would only be made better if I can find someone of the opposite sex to go with......what? it could happen, couldn't it? say it could, please with no straw in my Pina Colada say it could lol
The upcoming week at work is going to be sort of strange as we work full day Monday, work a half-day on Tuesday since it is New Year's Eve, off on Wednesday for New Years Day, and back for full days on Thursday and Friday.
I'm a little ticked off with a coworker who scheduled a conference call for 12:45 pm on Tuesday knowing we are out of the office at noon, I mean just because you don't want to go home Dave doesn't mean the rest of us want to hang around and talk about system interfaces to facilitate direct vendor EFI payments, yes that is what the meeting is about and I'm sure it is going to be just as exciting in real life as it reads in that sentence.
Now it is true that I have no plans for New Year's Eve but I'd still prefer to leave at noon to start my non-existent plans right on time. Actually, my plans might be me being the designated driver for my son and a couple of his friends, if they can ever make a decision on what they are doing that is.
Last time I did something for New Year's Eve was in 2014 when I met some new people and had a rather enjoyable night filled with smiles, laughter, some excellent conversations, and a very nice kiss at the stroke of midnight.
My name is Marcus and I hope you had a better Saturday night and Sunday than I did, probably easier on your stomach than mine was on me.
Today's musical suggestion is by P.O.D in the form of "Youth Of The Nation". It had both my son and me guessing wrong on the artist when we heard it on the way home last night.
