Chilling in the Hizzle (or something like that)

Wow! Today's blog is going up really late, isn't it? Why is that? I have the answer. I slept in a while, then ended up watching the local morning news show. Crazy, right? That's because I am currently unemployed. I turned in my notice last Monday and finished the transfer of my responsibilities by Friday (per their request). So, here I sit, working on today's blog post while I have Wendy Williams on TV in the background. I'm not really watching it, but I wanted some noise in the house. Even the cat is being quiet. Yes, I do have a strong lead on a job, but am still working on paperwork and approvals. I also need to contact MBH's school and see about getting on her insurance.

I have a first generation Kindle Fire. I still use it everyday, both for reading and a few games. I thought of it because I get a daily email with free Kindle books listed, and that is where I get the majority of my books, both fiction and non-fiction. I have had it for four years and have actually paid for only one book. There are so many free ones that I have not needed to buy any. My only issue now is... actually I have two... my issues are that, after 4 years, the battery doesn't hold the full charge anymore, and I tried to bring down a game for the GRANDS and my tablet is too old to run the new stuff. I have both of the same problems with my laptop.

Congrats to the Chicago Cubs on reaching the World Series for the first time in 71 years. I thought of that because of today's 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said calendar entry.

Hey, I decided to watch an episode of a TV program that NLTD (No Longer Teacher Daughter) and I watch, Quantico. They showed the credits and since this is the second season, I noticed the show logo now reads QUAN2CO. I thought it was funny.

During our fall trip to Colorado, I woke up before 6am that first morning. Rather than just lay there and try to sleep, I got up and went to our picture window to see Mt. Abrams before sunrise. This is the view that I found and just enjoyed.

Later, MBH joined me and we sipped coffee (her) and water (me) while watching the sunrise.

Mom joined us a bit later.

We always enjoy our trips to Southwest Colorado. It is kind an annual goal. Here's another good realistic life goal.

OK, I'll be back soon with more stuff.
