Yesterday I only worked a half day in the hopes of meeting for a lunch with that ex-boss of mine. But that ended up being canceled so instead I drove up to my sister’s house for a little lunch/dinner thing with her and my dad/grandmother.
So I hung out with them and talked a little but, as seems to be ridiculously common these days they commented how “out of it” I seemed. Apparently per the usual I was rather tired. But I didn’t get nearly as much sleep as I wanted last night. As usual.
Today I went to a certain northern California city, as hinted in the title, and then over to Berkeley. It was a nice albeit uneventful day trip to a nearby area. In fact that was a large part of the reason I went: finally going some place that is more than 50 miles from where I live. It’s been quite a while since I have really done that I think.
On the way there we actually passed two people who were getting a gas fill up from a AAA truck, on two different freeways. One of them was causing miles and miles of traffic back up. Here’s a hint people: fill your gas tank before you leave. Cars need gas. Ya, apparently that was necessary. Sadly.
I have been enjoying the first book in the Wheel of Time series right now. It seems like it has “borrowed” a lot from the Lord of the Rings books. Or Fellowship more specifically. That’s not a complaint though, I’m still enjoying it quite a bit even though it’s still in “getting started” mode.
Since I can’t keep my eyes open I guess I’ll end this here.
