Half the Price, Double the Goodness
Half price fajitas tonight at K38. You can’t go wrong. It has rained all day, leaving everything cold and damp. Reminds me of Fall in Buffalo.

What Was Near Me
Started taking some pictures of some random things around the house.
I just got a tripod and started playing with it.
We peeled a bunch of clementines for easy access taking them to work.
Every new place that we travel to, we buy a magnet. Some people buy shot glasses and other trinkets, we love the magnets so each time I go in for something to eat, I get motivated to add some more magnets to the fridge.

All Work and No Play
Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest and relaxation and usually I stay true to that. Today however, I had a bunch of work to do that had to be submitted by today, and of course, I saved most of it until this morning. I sat on my couch and worked on my laptop most of the early afternoon. This was my view everytime I decided to turn around and look out my front window.
My brother dropped me a line today. You never know where he will be. He stays travelling. Saudi Arabia today, South Africa next week. Not too shabby for a 25 year old.

The Old Man is Snoring

Rained all day, now starting to freeeeeze. At least we didn’t get snow dumped on us.
