A. Morning Musings

9:30 am

Here is my planning table for today:

Immediate	Description	Time
Literature	"Seven Types of Ambiguity " by Elliot Perlman	1 hr

Here is my updated list of chores that need attention:

see about ordering some firewood for the fireplace
visit dentist
haircut. Done.
check local stationery shops about a 2008 journal book that I can use with my fountain pen
begin exercise routine
put up Christmas tree. Done.
check fitness shops for a heart monitor

The main activity today will be the Christmas tree. We will visit a couple of shops to see what is available and then decide whether to keep our old one or buy a new one. Haircut and dentist are also high on my list. Learning activities are low on my list at the moment.

I am still having difficulty with my sleeping rhythm. I was wide awake from 2 until 3 am this morning.

B. Actual Learning Activities

3:15 PM

Two more chores completed: the tree (a real wood one!) is now up in our living room. We still need to decorate it. And I am just back from the barber and a short, much-needed, haircut.

Tomorrow we will drive up to Calgary. I need to take my laptop battery into an Apple dealer and I need to drop by a model train store and pick up a DCC system that I purchased a few days ago.
