Dear Everyone:
Not much time for Letter-writing these days.
Working just about every night in the big push to get this
Destruction all out by the end of the month.
This can result in my being a little tired in the mornings.
Luckily, thanks to “Marshall”, I have lots of
tea.
For Christmas, “Marshall” signed me up for a kind of “Tea of the
Month” club. Actually, it’s
two kinds of tea each month, for six months.
So far, I have four kinds of tea to choose from.
Since the teas are delivered to my office (the box
would never fit in my mailbox), and since, God knows, I spend a lot more
time at the office than at home, I use the teas at work.
In fact, a small group of us has formed a little tea-appreciation
club.
Each morning, I select one of the teas and load up
my Mrs. Tea® . This is a lot
like a small Mr.
Coffee and, in fact, is made by the same manufacturer.
I put up a sticky note declaring which tea is the “Tea of the
Day”, and all are welcome to try it out.
Later, we can discuss the relative merits of
Darjeeling
over
English Breakfast, or
Assam Golden Tip
versus Pumphreys’ Blend.
So far, Darjeeling is my favorite, subject to
change without notice, of course, once the next pair arrives.
In other news…
I did finally get in to see my eye doctor.
I got the Reminder Notice last November, and when I called to
make an appointment, January 11th was the first date
available (busy doctor). As
soon as I got the new prescriptions, one for progressives and one for
the computer, I faxed them off to Cousin “Perry” in “Oakley”.
I like using “Perry’s”
optician’s office,
not only because he’s family and can use the work, but because his
selection of frames is so superior to the mall places.
Also, I discovered that I can get three pairs of glasses from
“Perry” for about what one pair costs at the mall.
You pay a lot for that “about an hour” convenience.
Plus, the last time I tried to get AR lenses
(Anti-Reflective) at the mall, they told me it would be 10 days before
they could get the lens material in.
“Perry’s” office called me by that Friday to say the lenses were
already in and I could come up any time to pick them up.
So, this Saturday, “Jeannie” and I will head up to
“Oakley”, pick out new frames and go to brunch while “Perry” fits the
lenses in. After we eat,
we’ll go back to “Perry’s” to have the new glasses fitted.
Then “Jeannie” goes to get her hair cut and I will make the usual
trek to the office to process more destruction data.
Another exciting weekend with the Wild and Woolly
Wood Women.
Love, as always,
Pete
