Finally....I had the picture in the center and then the text wanted to be in the center (also) and it took awhile here...to get things organized again. Son tells me the computer is old and is subject to having computer dementia. Over night it forgets how to do things. I need a new desktop...he wants me to get a laptop so I can sit on the couch MORE?????
So do I. Want to sit on the couch more...NO.
I haven't had breakfast as yet.....I have so many thoughts rumbling inside my head this morning. I have to limit them somehow.....my cough....the snow....my memory.....the number of Kleenex boxes all around the house which Son pointed out to me....when I added Kleenex to the grocery list.
In my favor- the boxes were in rooms I don't frequent. And rooms where I don't need Kleenex.
I do have a nice cotton hankie in my pocket at all times....from the directions of the very very stern teachers at Charles Dickens Elementary School in Cleveland. I kid you not. We were checked every morning and had to show our clean hands and fingernails and the clean cotton hankie. There was even a wooden ruler that the Teacher smacked into our knuckles if we disobeyed. No wonder I am the way I am......the brick school was also painted BLACK and had a tall black fence all the way around it. I Googled and found the school and it looked just like I remembered....Charles Dickens...... and remembered all of this because of Kleenex boxes on the grocery list.
So, today....grocery store, and I will attempt to get my prescriptions. If the Grocery Pharmacy is open. and even if the line is 12 people long....sigh. My Son can get the groceries off the list on his own, I guess.
I have books to drop off at the Library and a few to pick up....I am still trying to read The Art of Crash Landing but yesterday got side tracked by Guy Ferriari and Vegan Restaurants on the Food Channel. I recorded one of them for daughter because they were making some pretty interesting Vegan things in the Vitamix. Vegan French Toast was one.
The Pantry Soup- I made-- gloriously delicious. I had a small bowl while watching Law and Order on WE. The really old ones so they must be starting from the beginning...always a good sign.
Wow ! Charles Dickens School ...... sounds like you had a little David Copperfield, Oliver Twist thing going on . I went to public school in New England and am just a year younger than you . Plenty of old school teachers who could strike fear into you heart , but no fingernail inspections or hand smacking with rulers , although I heard that was done in the parochial schools .
ReplyDeleteReally think about that laptop. You can set it on the desk and just use it there if you want to - but then you have the option of watching movies in bed.
ReplyDeleteThis desktop is pretty difficult to use- son says its obsolete.
ReplyDeleteto get here to the comments took a lot of clicking and swear words.....
California son shoveled snow off the sidewalks and long driveway.
He really wants to be back in California... and it's a pretty easy Winter compared to others. 40 today.
