Referred, Around the bend

It’s been a number of days since I’ve posted here. I have been busy with various holiday related tasks, pickleball, as well as a lot going on at work due to us finally moving ahead on setting up a temporary office on Marco Island to use until the original building that received significant flood damage from Ian is rebuilt.

Yesterday my co-worker/friend bought a new Tesla Model Y, making this the second person to do so using my referral in the last couple months. It adds up to a decent amount of Tesla spiff points that I can use to buy a number of things. I have not cashed in any of them yet.

As mentioned I have begun the process of Christmas gift procurement. Thanks to the wonders of Amazon it is a much less arduous task than it once was. I remember my early Christmas’s in Florida buying things the old fashioned way, wrapping them, boxing and then waiting in horrible lines to ship them. It was miserable. Nowadays a few clicks and you can get most of it done, wrapping and (mostly free) shipping included. Although there are certain areas of society where I think technology can be detrimental, shopping is not one of them.

As this year comes to a close I am finding myself very much looking forward to what 2024 has in store around the bend.
