Notes - gallows humor / slow day

         Mid-morning. You had a banana with peanut butter on top and skim milk for breakfast and while reading the paper Carol showed you a brochure that arrived yesterday advertizing the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid now that it is available here and she is interested. The other day Kim and Paul suggested to you both to buy a Prius and trade in the Accord because at 65,000 miles it would be worth more as a trade in. Carol likes the Accords better than the Prii. You are not sure what you think because you are afraid you’ll get hyped up after reasoning that it is okay to keep the 2005 Accord. That’s what it comes down to, boy. Surely you see the humor in this. – Amorella

         1024 hours. I wish you would put the thoughts out where I can read them. I don’t want to think about it. “Cheer up, things are bound to get worse,” echoes in. The 2005 is a good car. We have never had anything wrong with it but it does not get the mileage the 2001 Accord had. It averaged 26 miles per gallon for a year of driving while the 2005 averages 24 for the year. We had 26 on our recent trip to Columbus and back, almost all freeway driving with the cruise control on 72. We looked at the 4-cylinder Accord last fall but Carol didn’t like the sounds the gears made. I don’t know why I got pumped for a new hybrid last week, but I did. Two new cars inside a year would be unprecedented and somehow seems a bit uncouth or vulgar. I think I would be uncomfortable. It makes me uncomfortable now. (1035)

         You are uncomfortable because it is driven by false humility and undeserving guilt. Later, dude. Post. – Amorella

         1037 hours. I don’t like this situation. It got worse.

         Such is the gallows humor in your head. 

         Almost time for bed. You had a late lunch at Marx Bagels and left over Papa John’s pizza for supper. You finished the paper drafting on Chapter Nine. Tomorrow you plan to keyboard the changes. You and Carol also caught up on some TV programs as well as the news. - Amorella

         2213 hours. This has been somewhat of an off day. I did my exercises back to my old barbells, and I had time for a nap before supper, which was helpful. I’m tired though and not ready to do much more before sleep.

         Post. - Amorella
