Boxing Day blahs… sort of

What a lazy slow day it’s been. After a tasty breakfast from Viv’s Cafe, I dropped TS1 off at the trains so she could go and be a good little consumer up at Hillsdale Shopping Center. The Morning Coffee Walk was, as usual, intellectually stimulating and not only because of the caffeine. Then things got slow. Sort of half watched the TiVoed ManUre-Everton EPL match but I knew the outcome which killed much of the interest and I spent most of the second half surfing, mainly on Ask MetaFilter. Glad to read, of course, that the Reds were able to take care of business with Bolton and get their own 3-1 victory.

Couldn’t wait any longer for lunch, around 1:00, even having had a little snack about 11 and knowing that TS1 was only minutes away from home. So I gave into my hunger and scarfed some of the delicious leftover ribs that Viv’s Cafe served lst night… yummy. For that snack I had an EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control low carb drink which was part of a low carb basket Xmas gift from one of TS1’s co-workers. Not bad tasting compared to the Atkins version, especially compared to the version one mixes up from the powder.

The next couple of hours are mostly a blur as a post-lunch coma kicked in and out as I was watching the Motor City Bowl. Finally emerged from it around 3:30 and spent the last 75 minutes finishing off Semper Mars, the first book in The Heritage Trilogy, by Ian Douglas (although not, apparently, this Ian Douglas because this book’s author is using a nom de plume and is really called William Keith). I epxect to finish the other two before adding a writeup here.
