 “Stickered Up” Cedar Park, 2022

I’m a bit sad to be selling my beloved Chromebook, but I really no longer need it and it would be better if it found a new owner who would use it. I will miss looking at the stickers on it, which I think looked great on the white plastic shell. In fact, if Apple made a white MacBook Air, I would have gotten it so that I could sticker it up again. But now that I think about it, I can probably get a white shell case for it, right? Hmmm… something to think about.

In the meantime, though, the Chromebook has been listed on Facebook marketplace and there’s a fair amount of interest so it should have a new home in a few days.

 “Meat Lover’s” Cedar Park, 2022

I ate too much… but it was so good! Pictured above is a “meat-lover’s” pizza, but there was a second pizza with tomato, onion, mushroom and sausage. It was also excellent! ❤️🍕

Pizza is definitely a contender for the “if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life” question.

 “Old and New” Cedar Park, 2021

Over the years, we’ve accumulated quite a few electronic devices and it’s now time to get rid of the ones we don’t use. In the photo above, I’m resetting one of our old laptops to get ready to sell. I also have given away two Android tablets, a broken PlayStation 3, and am trying to sell a Wii U system and a Chromebook. In addition, we’ve got BluRay/DVDs, books, video games, etc. to either sell or donate.

It feels so good to simplify our devices! And hopefully someone will be able to get some use out of the things we weren’t using.

 “Marathon Recovery” Cedar Park, 2022

It’s been five days since I ran my neighborhood marathon, but today I decided that my body had recovered enough that I could go out for a run. I took it easy, just running a couple of miles, but I felt sluggish and my legs felt heavy. It seemed like I also lost my usual running form at the beginning, which was more amusing than concerning. 😂 It was a very short run but it was so nice to get active again!

Since Tuesday, I’ve been eating a lot of sweets and also having a drink or two each night. I guess I still was hanging onto that hunger you get after a long run. Or maybe I was just being lazy and overindulging? That’s probably it.

Anyways, it’s back to running! As for participating in the Austin Marathon, I still haven’t decided. It’ll be a game-time decision, probably.

 “Command Center” Austin, 2022

Today I picked up my new work laptop which will replace my current one, which must be about 4 years old.

It was very strange again to go into the office because there were only maybe 10 people there, whereas normally there are a couple hundred. Very eerie…

I like my office, but I enjoy working from home more. I get a lot more done, both work-wise and on the home-front. I suppose it’s like that for a lot of people. We’re lucky to have that option and flexibility and I am grateful for it.
