crystal farms cheese

 i did not do much after work because it is so cold and windy. i did go to the nearby gas station and got the paper as well as some crystal farms shredded cheese. i can try getting to the grocery stores the next morning. it was a low volume day at work, no surprise there, being right before a holiday. i already knew about many people being out of the office. i confirmed with a senior leader by I.M. about monday being a bank holiday. i know a good rule of thumb is that if the branch is closed for a holiday, then so are we in the rest of the bank. now i will have 4 days off, using my last vacation day of the year. i will start up the nightly walks again when the weather gets better. i have been trying to listen to recent purchases of CDs but i usually end up falling asleep because i am tired when i start them. this includes the ken burns baseball soundtrack. i liked finding a song about christy mathewson and nap lajoie on it, then the mention of earlier famous people with the same name. no plans to rent a redbox movie this weekend, as i will do the annual viewing of some of my christmas specials on DVD. one of them, the first 'frosty', i saw on TV just after thanksgiving. the 'big bang theory' reruns were both christmas episodes, same as the previous day. it was when sheldon went to texas to help deliver his sister's baby, and the friends back in pasadena do their version of 'it's a wonderful life' and say they wouldn't have met without knowing sheldon. as usual i relate more to amy's story, because she is dour, deadpans her lines, and said she didn't have many friends in school. she cries on her birthday cupcake. it was followed by the one where leonard's mom visits and bonds with penny- they both get drunk. and she states she has left leonard's dad.
