Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2008-12-30

  • Reviewing books for a professional organization this morning. #
  • Could not sleep much last night; just tossed and turned. #
  • Odd that the Facebook notifications I received and deleted from my Blackberry were still downloaded when I finally got Outlook to work. #
  • Seems we have Internet access at home again (finally). Now, to just get the wifi working again. #
  • At the Jack Spade store on Bleecker. Yes, the same one I did not like yesterday. #
  • Have to get another prescription for the condition on my hand. Hope the insurance covers it. #
  • The orchid that has been on my desk for the past 3 years has bloomed for the first time. It is quite beautiful. #
  • 106.7 Lite FM is back to light music. Wish I could get my Sirius at work — they still have their 3 Christmas stations. #
  • There are more people in the office today than I thought there would be. #

The Orchid Bloomed in My Office!

After having this orchid for years sitting on my desk, it finally bloomed!

Jeffrey's Orchid

I took a few photos of this and uploaded them to Flickr, for all to enjoy.

I like this symbol of new life and celebration, especially after Yule and before New Year’s. Even when things around us can be challenging or even crumbling, such little celebrations in nature can inspire and give us hope for a better day to come.

  • In the office today. #
  • Home phone is not working. Odd. #
  • A Jack Spade opened on Bleecker Street; I have tried so hard to like his bags, but they are just so . . . #
  • Wonder why there is a line outside Marc by Marc Jacobs on Bleecker St. #
  • Horrible traffic through the Lincoln Tunnel. #
  • Sky is dark, but no rain. 65 degrees outside. Global climatic change, all right. #

Jeffrey’s Twitter Updates for 2008-12-28

  • Still enjoying Christmas music. Not quite ready for that to end. #
  • Watched the birds eat as it was getting dark. Saw some deer walk and jump by, too. #
  • Making mulled wine; a particular favorite winter beverage. #
  • Dumped the trash at the local transfer station. The per bag cost keeps climbing here; perhaps it encourages recycling? #
  • Thinking about end of the year accomplishments and goals for next year and beyond. #
  • Getting ready to go to the dump. #
  • Finally got up. Everything is still icy outside, though it seems the temperature is rising. #
