The Cigar Life

Thursday, September 21, 2023 Nice day at work however yesterday was tough. Minor annoyances yet there were seeming 10 million of them and they all added up. Dale had a pretty rotten day as well. I've been pretty successful limiting my alcohol this month, usually once a week and only on the weekends, but today called for playing my emergency you-need-a-cocktail card. Was very reasonable and had a pre-made/store bought Old Fashioned. Didn't finish so I had a little bit left over for today.  Lit up in the backyard.  And finished yesterday's Old Fashioned.  Listened to an eclectic mix of music.  And relaxed. This past weekend was light jacket weather however it has warmed up a bit since then.  Thank God tomorrow is Friday. Overall good week except for yesterday. Productive yet exhausting. That's teaching for you. 

Tuesday, September 19, 2023 Made time for a cigar after work today. Exhausting yet productive day.

Sunday, September 17, 2023 Still in the boot.  It comes off next week.  Can't wait.   Until then, trying to make the best of it. 

Saturday, September 9, 2023 We had Mike and Charisse over for dinner tonight. We all sat outside before dinner. Charisse had a beer, Mike had an NA beer, Dale had wine, and I had an Old Fashioned. Mike and I smoked cigars. I had an Oliva and Mike had a Romeo y Julieta. A friend of his gave him a whole box. Ordered Chinese for dinner from Bill's and watched the IT Crowd.

Saturday, September 3, 2023 Until last Thursday morning I'd had a splint (see above) on my foot/leg for a couple weeks due to surgery on my fibula bone which I broke in early July.  The splint came off and now I'm just wrapped in an ace bandage. However, when moving about I really need to be in my boot (see above).  As I mentioned in my previous post my injury is not keeping me from cigars.  It's quite warm and my foot can get a little sweaty in this boot.  The low humidity is helping to keep it very pleasant especially in the shade.  Can't believe I'm starting up with classes on Tuesday. As always the summer races by.  Would like to squeeze in another cigar tomorrow although I may end up being quite busy as I have to work on some last minute preparations for school.  I need to be in the boot and crutches for another 3 and a 1/2 weeks. I'm excited to walk around more easily and also ride my bike again. 

Despite my messed up foot and the surgery I had on it and being laid up for a while I was still able to get in some cigar in August.  My birthday's in August and snap shots from that day are what's pictured in this post. I've really come to like Oliva cigars as one of my favorites. It's more mild that what I've smoked in years past which is what I'm now prefering more and more. I'm also moving away from maduros.
