While my wife and I were out shopping this evening we ran into one of our neighbors from Newtonian Gardens, Jenny Christina Rose. She was in quite the good mood today and after she told Julia the latest update regarding the recent keying of her car… Well… “We both couldn’t help giving her a high five and a hug each!”

This morning started early and, it already being past midnight… Well… I guess you could say this day is ending rather late. But… “It’s all good!”

I woke from a dream this morning at around 4:45 AM involving my parents and something to do with the bed of a pickup truck. I think the truck was silver but… As I say, “It was a really vague dream.”

Julia and I awoke this morning expecting everything to be one big mess outside. But… It really wasn’t all that bad. She had scheduled all the appointments that she’d normally have had in her office in town as virtual sessions. “Her clients were only too happy to go along with that plan.”

The sound of the rain falling was peaceful. The feel of Julia loving me? “Priceless!” I don’t think either of us wanted to get out of bed but… We got our act together, including picking up our Newtonian Gardens apartment, before heading out to meet Ellen for breakfast.

Just after returning from the kitchen where I do my nightly coffee pot setup in preparation for the morning every time Julia and I stay in our Newtonian Gardens apartment, I remembered that it was that time. Yup! Time to write another journal entry and, “What a day it’s been.”

“You look like crap honey. Why don’t you just chill for a while and I’ll get us some coffee, Ok?” were the first words I heard softly spoken by Julia this morning. And… Yeah… “I felt like crap, too.”

Today marks a milestone for me. I actually put up 31 days’ worth of content on my BriaSphere website. True… I didn’t post to the site every day for 31 days. However, I did keep track of the dates and times of each writing; using the dates and times to order the posts online. And… That my friends is in and of itself what you would call… Well… “Accomplishment!” At least that’s what I consider it to be.

After a deliciously enjoyable time spent between the sheets last night and this morning, Julia and I got out of bed feeling refreshed and ready to do something useful. So… We headed over to Newtonian Gardens to look in our apartment over there, and seeing the crap job that was done with the snow removal by Goldberg Realty’s hired help… Well… “We decided to do something about that!”

It was a still morning when we woke around 7:00 AM. And… Neither one of us being in a rush to do anything… Well… As Julia dozed off once more, I silently slipped out of bed. When Julia woke again, “She was thrilled to death with the room service.”

I was dreaming this morning of a gentleman that very much reminded me of my CPA. In this dream he was walking through a corporate office full of people and desks with a young woman who couldn’t have been much older than 21.

I woke up early this morning. I’m not sure why. But… I did. So… Rather than wake Julia with my restless tossing and turning, I silently slipped out of bed and headed for my study. Well… I hit the power button on the coffee pot in the kitchen first but… “Isn’t that just a given?”

I am quite pleased with the work I did today, and I’m pretty sure that Julia had a breakthrough with a client at work. I know she won’t really tell me but… “Her mood is really good!”

Today wasn’t really all that eventful. Julia and I got up and did our thing, both of us working from home today.

Well… When I walked in the bedroom after writing last night’s journal entry, I found Julia sitting on the love seat just staring off into space. She seemed half asleep although aware that I was with her; mumbling something none descript by way of an acknowledgement. Rather than try and rouse her I just swept her up in my arms and carried her the short distance to our bed.

Today was a pretty slow and lazy one. We slept in late and decided to take a walk over to Newtonian Gardens and back. “It was kind of cold out!”
