A Lazy Sunday

In the last few days I have not gone out, but spent most of the time lying on the chaise lounge.

Sunday

Chad and I awoke on this Saturday morning to watch a bit of the 49er and New York Football playoff. San Francisco lost the game. I also lost in terms of my squares on the office pool betting game.

We readied ourselves as it was already close to noon. We ate at NATION’S BURGERS on Webster Street in Alameda.

My funds are disappearing fast. I have no real discretionary funds at all.

After NATION’S BURGERS Chad and I came home and we watched “Nightmare on Elm Street”. We both fell asleep towards the end of the flick.

At 6PM we both got up and went to my VERSATELLER machine for needed cash. We ate at McGee’s on Park Street (which wasn’t so great). The company was exceptional though.

It was a lazy Sunday as we returned home to watch ALFRED HITCHCOCK Presents. We watched an episode starring actor Steven Bauer (the one who starred in that THIEF OF HEARTS movie that I love). The story involved a bet for an automobile and the loss of one’s fingers (if they lost the bet). Ouch.

I sent my entry in for the Publishers Clearing House Giveaway today. I wish.


After Hitchcock we saw ‘The Mysterious Stranger’. Once ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ started I decided to turn in for the night. I felt a sore throat coming on. I was dreading the idea of work tomorrow. Alas I do have something to look forward to: The discussion of my Job Transfer Requests with my boss, Stephanie.
