Field Notes- September 15th- sunshine and cooler breezes. Fifty Fourth Wedding Anniversary Today.


 Would be lovely to actually have cheesecake today...but we don't.

Husband is out moving the backyard birdbath.  Making it easier for me to get to it for the daily scrub and fill.  It was behind a fence.  And now it isn't.  We can still see the birds who come visit. Mostly tiny ones. I don't know what happened to the larger birds- Blue Jays, Cardinals ...we still have crows but they rarely, if ever, use the bird bath.  Every so often a Goldfinch.

I always knew today was going to be our anniversary- husband found out because his iPhone mentioned it to him.

My eyes are tired today.  I am tired today.  I never managed to do what I wanted to my blog- even though I had assembled the thing myself years and years ago...without any skills....I can't recall how to get into the backside of it to remove things.  It's these moments when I feel old and useless.

I couldn't even put one number in any of the spaces on today's newspaper Sudoko.  ZERO.  I got 8 yesterday. The day before 3.  I gauge my day by the number of spaces I can fill.  This will be a day to go back to bed and stay there.

I watched news.... then looked up Nicole Wallace. She has gotten married. I was wondering if she was pregnant (the news people on the internet also are wondering if she is pregnant- and thus married) I didn't know she was divorced.  But perhaps she was never actually married to the father of her son?  The iPhone said they co-parented. It felt really sort of wonderful to know I had picked up on these "changes" in Nicole- all on my own. Like I was actually "observant".  It was the day I had 8 Sudoko numbers.

Feeling old and useless?? I have been there done that - but when I can't remember something or something needs doing and I can't remember how I just Google it and voila! not old and useless anymore.

I'm not a numbers person so I've never ever played sudoku - Wordle I can handle and do play everyday.

Definitely the kind of day to go back to bed and stay there, I concur!
