Blissful Ignorance

a state of grace ?

Maybe, it was the 2 beers on a stomach thats had liquids only for 2 days. The thought came to me that ' blissful ignorance ' was much to be desired.
To wit. Throw away your plastic. 
Landfill ?
Carbon footprint ?
Plastic filled oceans ?
Huh ?

See. Pollute and don't regret
That was only one example

the day is starting at 30 F on the back deck shade and no sun. that is alright b/c there is no sun out front either ( 7:31 A )
Precipitation can happen at any time for the next few days.
mostly light events

Well, we booked a stay downtown < no not Chicago >  here !
Yes, our city.
Not cheap and we went for ' Club ' Intercontinental rates. Really, I could get a tooth cut out for that amount.
The downtown stores are decorated for Xmas. Store windows etc.
And I'm sure we will find a bar in the business district or CBD
However, Club rooms ( on designated floors ) comes w/ complimentary brekkies and manager's cocktail hour etc.

what started the process ? The windows were unveiled yesterday.
IHG, Intercontinental, of course, were offering extra points for staying / plus my points were due to run out
One step and then another
Bingo bango - we're booked
We can cancel anytime up to the day before

M keeps asking ' how are you doing ? '

Its official
I'm hungry ( its been 52 h - no actually 58 h b/c I ate breakfast Wed and went to the office at 10 A and they did me at 1 - 2 P )

To satisfy the Doc s request - solid food Saturday at 2 PM or 72 h for healing of the gums < stitched up > or if you're keeping track - 78 h on mostly liquids

My first meal will be pancakes ( soft bready thing ) and wieners ( less chewy than any other meat thingy )

I'm hungry
I'm sneaking potato salad - chewing on one side
