That bag of magazines from the library cart via my Walking Buddy- had one Esquire. And that Esquire had....this guy. Well, at least now I know what sort of man is my type. He's probably a real jerk... Not.
Stayed up late- expecting some sort of "weather event" but not much happened. It's close to 32 degrees and you can see where the Sun is in the sky- covered in clouds. So, whatever was supposed to happen. Didn't. There is what could be slush or could, if it gets colder- be ice. At some point I'll put on my coat and boots and use the scoop shovel to clear the driveway. We aren't going anywhere.
I had all sorts of things to tell you but...now that I am sitting here none of it is important.
The wash got done and dried and folded. I did not sort thru the seed box to see what I would want to grow this year. I did not do anything. I did not cook. I did not read. I did watch Law and Order. A few from the first season I hardly remember. The rotation is an endless loop. Same with Criminal Intent. Early Goren when he isn't fat and sloppy. Riley and I would be discussing.
We printed out the stock dividend paper we need for our taxes. Now I just need to go buy Turbo and get on with it.......Life Sucks until the taxes are done. I have no plan for the day. Until it's time to make the Daily Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
I have only touched cloth to make new piles and clean off the ottoman which I use as a craft desk. I sorted stuff an threw away stuff and now things look less like a rat's nest. I have about five things that "do not belong with the other things" and I need to put them away or throw them away. And my book is still half way read. So I need to finish. So I can read a book that is more fun.
Now to turn on the lamps here in the room where I sit all the time now.
Why keep reading a book that's not doing it for you? Probably half of the books I get from the library (and now digital audio) are returned after only three chapters. That's a fair chance for any author. Life's too short to waste reading dreck, especially if reading is one of your pleasures.
ReplyDeleteI keep gravitating toward my bedroom, which is over the furnace and so warm. I need to find a nice chair for that room to keep me out of bed. And, I so agree with Deb about bailing out of unsatisfying books.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been going through books on my kindle. I have a habit of snagging free books and you really do get what you pay for. I haven’t finished a book in days because of the subject matter or the writing or...
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I’ve been listening to audio of a series that I’ve enjoyed for years.
