Gateway to the future

I have a new Gateway, so I am trying a new font to go with it.

This ink is blue because I am not sure I am happy with this computer yet. It's nice and small, lightweight. But it's easy to whack the fn key instead of shift, and that leads to all kinds of mischief.

No decision made yet on the phone issues.

My new walking partner, Christine, is the mother of my daughter's best friend from middle school. Christine has two full time jobs. She likes to be busy. Personally, I make a great slug. But she had rotator cuff surgery and is off work for a few months. My daughter told her that I walk often, and she volunteered to walk with me. So we have walked often the last few months while she recovers. She is doing great. She found that she loves to walk. We sometimes go every day, 5-7 miles. I also walk the dogs 3 miles a day now outside because the weather has been wonderful.

Yesterday Christine and I were walking and I was again lamenting The Bridge I have to go over. It's an hour drive from here. She said she would drive me to the train station in Canada. I reminded her that I have to leave at 3 am. She still is willing to do it.

I am dumbfounded. She offered to drive me to the airport when I went to Montreal, and that floored me. I am not an easy person to shock! I am so grateful. I can have a couple drinks, lie back in the car and not look, and just relax for an hour. It sounds wonderful.

Lots of thoughts for the thought salad today! I also heard last night, and I need the particulars for this, that I could go back to work as a CPS worker and also keep my pension. While I was glad to get away from that job, the combined incomes, plus just half of what George kicks butt and sends me statements on, would put me easily in the six figure range. I could live on that. I could have bought a better computer, too.....
