I colored this index card drawing yesterday.....and a few more...I don't have a great selection of coloring pens...I prefer pastels and husband purchased the LOUD color selection. They show up....so it's okay even if it hurts my eyes and sensibilities.
1. Lunch with M was lovely. She is Such a Great Human Being. Hard Working also. There was some extremely sad news but I am going to put it out of my mind.......
2. I started the day with a nice hot shower.....most mornings I defer on the shower because falling and hitting my head on hard surfaces etc etc do not interest me. Today I felt like I could manage a shower. And I did...it must have been the chocolate cake and whipped cream I had at lunch yesterday- and the potato chips. I had a Lunch Date. None of that food exists here in my house.
3. I am faced with the TASK of emptying my two large plant containers out front and hauling dirt and the containers back to their Winter Abode. I keep hoping for a "hero" but there isn't one coming to help me. I feel like my adult children are trying to teach me a lesson...on what I CAN have going forward and what I have to GIVE UP. I think I can safely remove the dead (almost dead) plants......and get those dead flowers into the compost bin. I did get them out there...with a wheeled cart of some sort......oh, getting old is really the crappiest part of Life. Unless you purchase a cruise on a boat with free cocktails.
4. I read the morning paper....big mistake.
5. Well, the TiVo has finished recording one billion Law and Order episodes...no, 20 perhaps. I have what looks like an actual GOOD book to read....my score on book selecting this week is more minus that positive.... and my coffee needs to be reheated...then I will settle on the couch for a few hours (or more).
6. I happened upon a Soccer Game last evening....all the players were absolutely gorgeous. This is not normal. And, the game itself wasn't very interesting. So I went to bed early.
7. I thought about it---nice hot shower this morning and the dirt outside????? I'll stay clean and do a Scarlett O'Hara and "think about it tomorrow" while watching Antique's Roadshow...
