I didn't want to get up today. I was comfortable in bed and didn't want to get up - until I needed to take a bio-break. That's when I looked at my watch to find that Mickey was getting held up!

At last night's board meeting, we were frustrated by three no-shows at our zoom meeting. Luckily, the fourth vendor gave a good presentation. Although we need to interview more vendors, we feel good about this one. That's enough said on that issue - I don't want to say whether I'd award him the contract, nor do I want to say what he was bidding on.
This morning, I received an email from our managing agent, apologizing for the problem. Since the email came from the new fellow, I am not going to jump on his back too much. But this apology made me reconsider the wording I'd use on the meeting minutes, and I edited them before, and reword the paragraph so that the new site representative would not suffer too much from his mistake.

Afterward, I ended up doing a lot of nothing, and this was just as well. The Broadway play I was thinking of seeing was sold out, and I no longer had a good reason to make it into NYC. Although I could have gone to the furniture store to buy the sofa I wanted, I decided not to leave my apartment. Do I regret doing nothing? Yes and no. It would be nice if I had a better reason to get up in the morning. This is a problem with retirement, and one I deal with on a regular basis. And this is why I used to attend as many meetups as possible - I like human companionship, and it gives me a reason to rise and shine in the morning....
