Bill Cat πŸ˜‚ So I fell asleep watching telly and Bill decided to tickle my toes to wake me up. I jumped about a mile, little brat. I'd yell at him but he's too cute.

Have today off work. Went in to city to get a haircut that was long overdue, had Crossways for lunch, and the weather is perfect. Feeling good 😊

Do you ever look at an empty box and go "that's a nice looking box. Better not throw that out. That'll come in handy some day". You don't know what you're gonna use it for yet but it's there just in case.

Glad I saved the GPU boxes from 2007. Back when they had the tacky art on the box.

I see you have seen my box collection in the garage

I threw out a really nice hounds tooth paper bag that a DJs gift card came in. Nice thick paper. Gonna sit in a drawer for ever.

What I tend to do at work is think to myself "I'll be good and get rid of all these empty boxes and ditch the clutter", and then 48 hours later be turning the place upside down trying to find a box to ship something to one of our other sites in.

My kids do that with every single box. We have too many boxes.

Feeling tired all of a sudden, can't wait till I can get home from today and watch the ODI today.

Also I made the decision last night to buy the ice cream and boy was it soooo good!
