Winter Notes- Saturday. February 24th- 31 degrees and sunshine.

This might be a repeat...I am cleaning out the picture file.  Cosmos.

I went to bed at 9:30pm and got out of bed at 9:30 am.  Twelve hours.  I was tired.  Really tired.  And now I feel well rested.....I think during the, perhaps YEARS, of husband's decline---I was awake a lot- on alert.  And now ...getting used to being "off duty" I can just go to bed and sleep......just sleep.  It feels good.  No dreams so...I know that is not really great but perhaps dreams will return someday.

I had an assortment of things to eat yesterday.  Nothing I would call "a meal".  I am really thinking- when is the last time I actually had a meal at home?  Christmas?  I mean, I cook food but will just carry the bowl to the table or to the couch and eat it and then carry the bowl to the sink...is this a meal?

This actually might be the way people in 2024 eat. Walking around the house....spooning food into their mouth.  Carrying a sandwich on other days while looking out the back window...or eating a pear looking ou the front window at the mess the birds have made of the birdseed in the feeders.

C and I are not on the same schedule.  Well..he has a schedule and I do not.

I read the morning paper, ate my oatmeal, took my pills and am finishing up my cup of instant coffee. I did as much of the sudoko puzzle in the paper as I could....13 numbers.  Some mornings- I get only single digits.  I haven't actually completed a puzzle....ever.

I am reading Dumpling by Julie Murphy.  YA book.  This book was made into a Hallmark Movie but I have never seen it on tv.  I would like to.  Jennifer Anniston plays the mother.  Another book I love is also a movie - The Hating Game.  I have no idea where it is shown.  

National Pancake Day- February 28th....
