Winter Notes- Saturday December 9th. Cloudy with a bit of chill. 50's in a few days.


 Majorie Thompson.

Son is worried about the gas generator if the power goes out.  He checked it and it's empty.  All the gas cans contain "old gas" which I now know has a life expectancy (in the cans) of 30 days.  Not two years. How long husband had gas in the cans. and never used any after setting the lawn mower on fire.

The place where one can get rid of hazardous fuel is closed until Spring.  Son checked. 

I paid bills today.  Son took them out to the mailbox- I wasn't even going to try to walk out. Suddenly I am feeling very OLD and ...unsteady.......

Son and Daughter went out to buy the correct type of snow shovels for most of yesterday.  One was in the shed...so they only had to buy one more.  Son also got a better pair of winter gloves.  They were gone forever.

Today Son went out to buy a new video game.  And have lunch. Drive the California Car. I was asleep until noon. Well, off and on asleep.  All this Widow Stuff is knocking me to the ground emotionally.  Hard to seem interested or peppy. I have  Christmas cards (from past years) but no interest in writing and addressing them......it could change.   I could send them next week.  I could. 

But right now- I have TEN books on the shelf to read... and the Monday Library visit is just 2 full reading days away.  I have to figure out which of the ten is worth reading.

The Heist book was excellent right to the end.

  1. the non-interest in getting things done I think is very normal ... well, I have been going through that for a year so ....
