Meat For Christmas: A Dickens Christmas

 



We had breakfast today at the restaurant as opposed to tomorrow because Mark Anthony has to fly out of town for work. It's funny how the difference of just 24 hours can change the whole complexion of something. Even though it was the same restaurant in the same staff in the same time the clientele was different and oddly less customers that I would've expected for a Saturday morning at the very beginning of Christmas week. If not in Christmas week and solstice week two of my favorite dates of the year. We enjoyed breakfast but Mark Anthony was on a tight schedule and Jasmine had things to do so I have it heading back to the apartment. Luckily the trip over was only slightly dangerous. And luckily the times early enough that there was not a lot of traffic to worry whether a couple times fun I felt at risk with oncoming traffic having to roll on the side of the pavement since all the snow would been piled up on the sidewalks and the curb cuts but I made it won't have to try again until the 27th when I have a lunch date down at the VI. Hopefully – – even though more snow is forecast – – it will be easier to travel I'm just crossed my fingers.


On Thursday night or Thursday afternoon there was a Amazon package left at my door. I did not pay much attention to the boxlike package in fact a list outside the door all night long. The next morning I did eventually dragged walks into the apartment and I was perplexed that what might be in it. The package was quite heavy. I had been ordering a number of things recently from Amazon but nothing I can remember which had the mass of this particular object. But I've been out and about the package rested inside the apartment until this morning when I had a few minutes before I had to leave for the restaurant. I used one of my more sturdy hooks actually hook the box and pulled up to my lap and I was amazed at how heavy the package was. I finally got the box on the table and found my razor knife and slice the top of the box open and there were eight cans of corn beef! I was a little surprised at the number eight think that I may be ordered three cans of corn beef. I was looking at such an order a couple weeks ago but I didn't remember making the order. Then I finished the cans out of the box and on the bottom of the box was the Amazon packing slip inside was the individual who would ordered : Dennis –, my friend from the old days. The skies great can't believe he sent me one of the few things I never thought I would get for a holiday gift and I must confess I doubt that I'll get much better gift this Christmas season or all looks Christmas seasons to come. Actually feels like I've increased my wealth. To me these cans of corn beef are like gold bars and now I have them hidden away in my upper shelf or there will be as soon as I get my power chair back with the elevator function. I know it's a crazy gift but Dennis thank you just the same and I can't imagine how you know how much I enjoyed this meat delicacy at least for me. Now of course I feel bad because I have nothing for him except thanks and hopefully that's enough…use Mark Anthony has to fly out of town for work.
