Fun Day Monday or Maybe Not


It's fun day Monday, ok it's not but it sounded good to say/write it.

This Monday I woke up to rain not drizzle not showers, not just rain but pissing down rain so no morning walk for me.

What really sucked was that after only a couple of hours I was sitting watching telly when Natasha looks at me and tells me that I should go back to bed as I look like I could fall asleep, at first I said no I would be ok but then I thought why am I forcing myself to stay awake when I could go back to bed for a nap so that is what I did. I ended up sleeping for two hours and have felt a bit more with it since I woke up the second time.

Being that it has rained pretty much all day I have not done much of anything, read a couple of dozen blogs or maybe a bit more. Now I thought I might find something to write about and what did I come up with. Nothing much that's what.

I can tell you that on the 3rd January 1815 France, the United Kingdom and Austria formed an alliance against Russia and Prussia, did you know that I didn't just saying.

I can tell you that on the 3rd of January 1496 Leonardo DaVinci unsuccessfully tested a flying a machine, did you know that, I didn't just saying.

Also on the 3rd January the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge began.

Lastly on the 3rd of January 1959 Alaska became the 49th state of the United States of America

I am home alone for a few hours till Tim gets home from work around 6ish I think, Natasha left for work around 2ish so I get a few hours to myself.
