yet another day off............

ok, so i have today off, except for lunch with my workmates.........at a historical bed and breakfast in lawrenceburg......the morning off...and the afternoon off......not bad....i plan to walk this morning....and take in a few far-flung goodwills in the afternoon......you just never know what you will find in a goodwill, because people throw out the most outrageous things.......often with the original tags.......why not take advantage on an extra afternoon away from work in pursuit of quality clothing priced at $2.50 per piece?..........i am tired of christmas shopping...though my home audience values a bargain almost as much as i and would not be disappointed to receive a gem from a goodwill.....heavens sakes...it was andrew who got me interested after all of the years i resisted my mother-in-laws suggestions that i shop there regularly.......she seemed to bring home junk, but andrew appeared to find polo shirts and structure sweaters.....big difference.......and the endgame is worth repeating....every dollar i do not spend on clothing is applicable to travel.......amen....by the way, i read online that the american diabetes association is sponsoring a 3 day study/workshop in orvieto, italy that focuses on the mediteranean diet and the control of diabetes.....it is being held near/on an italian government sponsored research 'farm'.......sounds like a tax deductible trip worth investigating........
