Thursday, December 24, 2020

It’s Christmas Eve.

Last night I went to bed at 10:30, fell asleep quickly, got up once at 5am, finally waking/getting up at 7:45.

At 4pm it started raining.

I had my 2-hour chess lesson with Juan Carlos from 2:20 to 4:20.

Now Teresa doesn’t want to go for dinner because: 1) It’s still raining (although lightly). 2) She’s full from lunch (is that my fault? I warned her not to eat a lot).

I googled Brooklyn RL’s phone number and Whatsapp’d asking if I could get the 2 meals to go. He agreed so I walked over there and brought back our 2 meals.

We waited until about 6pm and heated them in the microwave and of course they weren’t as good as when they were fresh. Teresa still loved the turkey though. I enjoyed that with the vegetables and my Arnold Palmer (lemonade and iced tea). We saved the dessert for another day.

 

The US has 18,188,744 ð 18,486,595 ð 18,606,087 coronavirus cases with 321,600+ ð 326,100+ ð 327,900+ deaths.

Joke of the day

Ol' Fred was in the hospital, badly ill. The family called his personal physician and best friend to stand with them. As his best friend stood next to the bed, Ol' Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write on.

His friend lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then immediately after, died.  The friend, in his grief, put the note in his wallet and forgot about it. 

2 days later, at the funeral, as he was finishing a speech about the life of his best friend Fred, he realized that he still had the note.

He said, "You know, Ol' Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all."

He opened the note and read: “You’re standing on my oxygen tube!”
