Didn't feel compelled to wake up early today as I’ve done most of the bigger chores the day before.

The weather forecast is overcast and some rain; staying-in-bed-weather

When I was younger, I spent the most part of the weekend in bed reading.

I should seriously read something more than the news (even if it’s the New York Times). Reality I’m beginning to think, is deadening to the soul.

I don’t feel the same way for movies though.

I’ve started on organising gifts; the budget seems to be growing bigger every year

How do you scale down on gifts though without looking like you’re watching your budget

But it’s my fault, to not have stuck to a budget and now you’re stuck there though I’m sure they won’t mind.

Saw someone in their car today smoking a real cigarette! Now that’s a sight you rarely see.
