Hungover

I did a stupid thing. I had two Dewers on the rocks at Oliver Garden last night. Finished the first one before we even got seated. I didn’t eat much during the day. A nutritious shake held me for the whole day. But, there was not much in my stomach by dinner time. The drinks went down too fast. I started to feel it towards the end of dinner and already feeling nauseated on the ride home. So a short and quick nap later, I woke up around 2am and got up at 3 to get some liquid. Stayed up till almost 7am. messed up the whole morning. shouldn’t do that again.

The saving matter out of this silly behavior is I found a few good apps on the app store. One of them is the Bible app that is free and allows you to download lots of different versions to the ipad and there are so many reading plans you can pick and choose. I downloaded the Chinese ccv version and the NASB and it already comes with the NIV version. I’m using Prof. Horner’s reading plan and the chinese bible. Started today. You are going to read 10 chapters a day. I shouldn’t have any problem reading in Chinese. It’ll take me double the time if I read in English. However, it’s been a while since I read any Chinese, my brain wants to change it to English thinking it’ll be easier. How weird. I can read faster in Chinese but it now takes a little more work for me to comprehend it.

Went to the Appalachian store and bought a pair of hiking shoes yesterday after work. It took a while trying on different pairs to find one that fits my feet comfortably. The clerk Tom was very patient, didn’t push me to make a decision even suggested that I walk around the store for a while to see if the shoes feel ok. Two sizes for each pair and 4 or 5 shoes later, I tried on the last pair and made the decision almost instantly. You just know it when you put on a pair that fits after trying on so many that just don’t fit quite well. I’m very happy about the purchase. Now if I can find an ideal bag to carry all my stuff including the ipad and keyboard, I’ll be all set.

Next week, Leo and I are going to North Myrtle Beach, SC for a week. I’m getting excited about it now. It will be refreshing to get out of the wintery weather for a short while and we can check out the 1-2 month long term renting in the future after I retire in the winter. It is very taxing to walk the dog in the icy streets in sub zero temperature. Neither the dog or the human enjoys this venture.

Got into a new interest lately after reading about survival gears. I got some paracord and made some bracelets with them. They are quite easy to make actually and practical too. Now each person around me has one. Survival and hiking gear and skills is a big field to get into. Very interesting too.
