Roscoe's Quick Notes

QNJAN2023

This afternoon I'll be marching with a contingent of KofC Knights in a March for Life event in downtown San Antonio. Hope it doesn't rain on us. Hope the local communists don't don't throw any bricks at us. At least I'll be among friends.

I may try for a repeat performance of last night's sleep. Early to bed and sleep solidly and soundly until wake up time of approx. 04:30 or so. That was very nice!

My new service baldric was delivered today, but it's too small to use. I ordered the wrong size, darn it. So I've ordered the correct size now, and I'll be using my old baldric until the new one arrives.

Today will be a long one for me, with an evening meeting that will probably keep me away from home until 9:30 pm or so. And it begins a week of work that will kick off six busy months for me. [/sigh]

So,... I'll have to make it a top priority every day to rest, to carve out time to de-stress, to nap regularly, and to take days off when needed.

Today is my birthday. I am now officially 74 y/o. Hoping for a quiet, stress-free day. We'll see how that works out.

So a pretty productive day, this Monday. Did my weekly laundry, picked up leaves from the back yard to fill the big, green organics bin, and emptied Sylvia's front porch trash bucket, putting a new liner in it that fits properly. And I transferred funds to the Philippines, usually a Tuesday afternoon chore, that.

This Sunday opens quietly in the Roscoe-verse. Nasty sinuses, my age, and the current flu season have convinced me not to attend Mass today. It would be unwise to needlessly expose my self to a large gathering of people, many of whom are either heavily vaxxed or sick or both. I am not sick now, and I want to stay this way.

A quick word about yesterday. I stayed home all day, and so did my wife who required my attention much more than she usually does. And I never found a block of free time with the level of mental clarity and focus needed to “micro-blog” here. But all was well.

Tonight we started watching 1923. After two episodes I had to head back to my room to get ready for bed. Really enjoying the show, but I need to be up early in the morning.

Stayed up past my bedtime watching Tulsa King with Sylvia. Pretty good Sylvester Stone show. We're four episodes into it now, but it got late and I had to get to bed. We'll watch more tomorrow.

Breathing a sigh of relief. With last night's Council meeting behind me, I now have ten days ahead of me that are clear of social obligation: no meetings scheduled, no Honor Guard or Color Corps events scheduled. Time to clear my mind Which is good because the next six months are gonna be hella busy.
