Christmas Moment

| Christmas, Personal

I contacted my friend Friday (Dec 22nd) and convinced her to come out after work for a “Christmas experience”. Both she and I get off work late. We were tired, but I told her she will look back and cherish the moment – that we must force ourselves to create some kind of Christmas moment before it’s gone.

The entire night I played my favorite Christmas music in my car. I picked her up at her work and went for a quick bite. And we went to a coffee shop and enjoyed holiday flavored coffee.

Then we walked around the shopping center and took some pictures. I struck a silly pose in front of a big Christmas tree. Then we realized that my belly was exposed in the picture. We had a big laugh. We kept looking at that picture and kept laughing.

We took a detour back to her work and looked at houses with Christmas decorations. I took her back to work in three hours.

4 days later, I cherish that magic moment.

This is an Apple commercial – artistically done. But… Oh, God.

If she pulls that out from her ear hole and puts it in my ear hole… I will puke. I don’t even use the same Q-Tip for both left and right sides of my ear. It’s gross.

Hate calling cable company for discount

It is common knowledge that we should call our cable company periodically and ask for a better price. With today’s technology, many people cut ties with cable providers. So, when you call them, they must try to make you happy.

When I first sign up for Verizon FIOS, I was paying $130 a month for cable, internet, & phone service. After several years, my monthly bill is now $169/m.

I knew I should call them and ask for a better price, but I hate calling the cable companies. So, I’ve been putting it off for a few years. I am pretty sure that cable companies know we hate calling them.

Today I finally called them. Now it’s Frontier FIOS. And they gave me a $25/m discount just like that. That’s $300 extra annual income for me.

So… I lost $1000+ last several years because I was not on top of this game… because I hate calling my cable company.

I am the only person to blame for this. I need to be more proactive. I feel stupid. I will not let this happen again.

I have a mild concussion.

Update:

The doctor thinks I have a mild concussion. The x-ray showed a minor neck injury (not too bad). But my problem is the headache that will not go away (nausea & dizziness).

He prescribed me physical therapy. And wants me to check with him in 10 days. We are guessing I will be better by then, or else… (bigger issue)

The doctor didn’t seem worried. He thinks I will be OK. Now I know there isn’t anything horribly wrong with me. For now, I still have a headache.

I am OK. I can still enjoy everyday life.  🙂

Merry Christmas. Happy holidays.

OMG, I’m a yuppy.

After the accident, I had to buy a car ASAP. So, I bought what I thought was the most boring & economical car. I wanted my car to blend in with the rest. It also had to be garage sale friendly. So, I bought a Prius station wagon – a used one, of course.

I felt depressed and alone after the accident. So, I bought some Christmas gifts for myself to cheer me up. I bought a leather briefcase from Coach and a designer wallet from England (Italian leather). They were on sale.

I texted my friend about what I bought. Then my friend pointed out that I was a yuppy.

PS. I still have a headache. I have a dizzy spell as well. I am going to see a doctor tomorrow morning. I will update you.
