New Month New Laws

Every October new law and new statutes start in CT.  Some I understand, some I don’t, and of course there are those I know will raise people’s hackles. 

The first one that pops out to me is  the smoking age has been raised to 21.  THat hasn’t stopped anyone before.  There will be a 40 cent tax on the pre-filled E-cigarettes and a 10 cent on all other e cigarette products.  My hope is that anyone who is vaping reconsiders this real fast especially with the recent health scare and issues.

The state sales tax will now be applied to digital purchases such as Spotify,  and probably netflix, or any other thing.  I don’t usually use spotify but I use Pandora or accu-radio.  I also don’t know if that will apply to places such as Wal*Mart or any online shopping sites.

There are a whole bunch of laws that involve persons personal and private space, healthcare, and making some laws already in place stronger. 

I put a call in to the furnace guy this morning.  He hasn’t called to set up a time to put the new thermostat in.  So his lady/wife/assistant tentatively put it for tomorrow afternoon.  I hope he comes before I have to leave for Ladies guild meeting. (geesh I almost forgot about that.)

I didn’t make it to exercise class this morning.  I Had a great sleep overall.  Sky slept beside me almost the entire night.  Of course he woke me up this morning.  I did check on Tiger a couple of times.  She was downstairs.

Their new food arrived yesterday.  I am afraid I have a gluttony of food again.  I will have to figure something out soon.  I still use the fancy feast that came a week or two ago.  I really shouldn’t but I don’t want to waste it and they seem to eat it. 

Needless to say didn’t make it to class this morning but will this evening.  I do have to go in the morning and the rest of the week.  I am tracking the food and trying not to over do it but I still seem to go over the caloric goal.

It was a gloomy day (one that could go with the theme of October) it's supposed to  rain on and off today.  ITs in the mid sixties and I am glad I brought my rain jacket.  I probably won’t be going out today.

The President of the University announced the current provost will be stepping down soon. There will be a search starting very soon.  The provost sent an explanation email following the announcement.  I want to say many changes coming up.

Tonight I have my work out with A and then probably do some cardio and get my steps in and then come home and have dinner and settle in for episode 2 of NCIS.  I am pretty sure its going to get mixed reviews from many fans.
