I Finished Reading the Book- February 18th


 Husband's table where he colors for an hour or two each day.  He stays quite busy.  He reads the morning paper, does word search and jumble puzzles and then does his exercises for his back.   Takes up most of his daylight hours.  He also has a book he is reading when he tires of coloring.

When he is done with exercises I ask if he wants his grilled cheese.  Yes or No. Usually, yes.  And then I make his sandwich.  I have my own routine.  Breakfast oatmeal, reading the paper and trying to do some work on the growing pile of unsolved Suduko puzzles.  I haven't solved even one in months.  Level One. The easy ones.  Then I come here to read email and write the Daily Notes.  It's almost 2 pm.

I did finish The BOOK.  And I am glad that I did.  It was actually a VERY GOOD BOOK.  I was worried about the characters which was why I didn't want to finish.  I liked them and didn't want anything terrible to happen to them.  But sometimes bad things happen. I prefer not to know.

I am re-reading all of Louise Penny.  Book Two.  Book One is very very hard to find.  It's Christmas in Three Pines.  And someone is dead.  And some previous Reader has decided to pencil in little helpful notes. I have a professional kneaded eraser- safe on delicate paper- and I am erasing them.  I guess  this puts me right in the same controlling little box with the pencil writer.

Yesterday the Sun was warm enough to melt 80% of the ice on the driveway.  We still have ice where the Sun Don't Shine.  We still have snow.  Crusty snow.  No birds.  None.  It's been a long time since we had any birds at the feeders.  Husband thinks he didn't change seeds fast enough when they got wet in rain.  They might have gone bad.  Birds are eating elsewhere. Downgraded his Bird Feeder Status.

Well, 2 pm and time to turn on the lamps.  Getting dark in here.  Daughter will definitely buy us underwear.  Husband says his elastic is giving out.........okay.  See you tomorrow.
