Blog entry for:

to reality, not expecting reality to adjust just to my expectations, is certainly a good topic for the blackest of all Fridays, as it were. I feel sort of odd, not being out and about at noon looking for the next bargain I can find. Somehow, this year I am content with what I have, just for tight now and do not need to exercise my one in ↝ one out rule of shopping. The day however is far from over and I am sitting here taking a break from the tourist doings of today, thinking about how to adjust my expectations to meet reality/ it is ironic that we attended the only meeting in this town last night. I ha my motives, as I wanted to an friend and peer I had not seen in quite some time, and that expectation was met. I lost did not fare as poorly as I expected, in my fantasy football league yesterday and there is still some HOPE, I can pull out another victory this week, slim as it is, I am not expecting to do so.
The room we are staying in, is a bit cozier than I like, the heating is not my favorite, and we are on the very end of the building next to a busy street. Could I find more fault with the accommodations, why yes I could, I choose however not to, as it is comfortable, wishing walking distance of all the happenings and most importantly I am not in front of my computer and Kathy is not doing hair. I think I am about to nap and chill until hunger sets in and it is time to head back towards the main vein for the holiday festivities, after all, how long can a para=de last in this little town? More on that tomorrow!
Right here and right now? I am content and lacking any expectations for the next 72 hours. Reality will pass me by, no matter what the POTUS says, or extremists blow up in the world. I can be okay knowing that I am loved, can afford this weekend and just might do something cray-cray for gift giving this Christmas. It will take some sneaking out and skulking around to accomplish my task, but I am fairly skilled at that and I will see what happens over the next few days. So off to nap time in the hills of Colorado.
