I had another work dream last night. Great job, great office. These work dreams just crack me up. They are never the same but they are always very positive experiences. I'm retired by day and have a fabulous work life at night. Cracks me up.
For the past few (4?) years I have gone to CES in Las Vegas the week after New Years. I spent a lot of December in active anticipation of the trip, the show and seeing my brother who joined me for three of the years. This year I decided to skip it. I figured by this time, I'd be in deep regret about my decision not to go. But, I'm not. All of my favorite TV shows come back that week and I'm looking forward to catching up on those instead!
Of course come January and all the CES coverage, I might fell differently.
I kind of think that maybe I might go next year. I have about 6-8 months to chew on it.
Today, it's swimming at 11 and then I think I might pick up a pizza for dinner. Those are the giant plans for today.

I spent my swim time redoing my budget. I like to do that - pick a topic and think it through without distraction. The budget didn't take the full hour but I got some good ideas on how best to get from here until March when my Social Security kicks in and how best to manage after. I want to draw as little as possible from my investments while still maintaining the gadget filled lifestyle I've come to love.
I did stop and get pizza from Poppa John's on the way home. I killed the afternoon really doing not much. I did get a new book started on my Kindle - Dear Committee Members... I've had it for a while but just now got to it.
I got two new calendars - one big and one small from my friend, Scott, in New Zealand. He sends them every year and I love it. They have beautiful pictures and a bascillion holidays. This year the larger one is tourist oddities throughout both islands. Like a giant fruit sculpture in Cromwell (South Island where Scott and Julie actually live). The smaller calendar is more geared to the seasons - Summer in our Winter, etc. Nice.
I also spent some time this afternoon with my latest podcast addition. Sawbones. The subject - medical history - is interesting but the couple who do it are just delightful to listen to. I only recently found it so I have a lot of back casts to enjoy.
Instead of my usual pepperoni pizza, today I got the steak and garlic one on the thin crust and man! was it delicious! The downside is that I nearly ate the whole damn thing. I intended that that $15 pizza would be two meals. Nope. Not happening. But very very good.
