Winter Notes- Thursday, February 8th Sunshine and 40 degrees


 Postcard from Provence

Perhaps been here before but-....still very nice.

Sunshine today...the lawns are still covered in snow...sidewalks are clear.  I could put on the no slip shoes and go for a walk...in the big heavy black wool coat.....but--I am actually not interested in much of anything this week.  Low tide Emotionally.

I finished reading Love Me Do....British gal visiting her sister in Los Angeles... Lindsey Kelk.

I have two books still unread and both are ones I have read before and actually do not want to read this week.  So I was looking thru the bookcase of books I own for something.... Hallmark has been disappointing.....MSNBC has no Nicole anymore so not interested........ BBC and WE have stopped showing Law and Order (one day for each week) and sometimes the same day....piss on it.

Agnes and the Hitman might do to pull me out of my funk- but then I will want pancakes and bacon....... what Agnes served the Hitman....for breakfast.  Yes..I might read that one again.

Wrote checks for the two bills I had on the Breakfast Table.  Added to the brown paper Shredding Bag- I actually found clear garbage bags (grocery) to put the shredded paper into....our garbage people want shredded paper in a clear bag......before finding them I was topping off the compost bins with shredded paper...especially at Tax Time when I went thru all the saved receipts. Never knowing what I might be needing...I save it all. I have a feeling I wrote all this  (exactly) a few days ago????

See this is my Life now- nothing happens and when something briefly interesting- clear plastic bags--happens..I talk about and write about it until something else happens.....like what?????? so boring.

Son made Pad Thai for lunch today...finished eating and found the small packet of peanuts. Will have them for snack. He will...not me.  I am just finishing up breakfast...and having one of my pears.  Trying to eat the fruit I bought last shopping trip.  One more pear and an orange left to eat.

I am not coughing as much and when I begin...I use my rescue inhaler and stop... I am having trouble swallowing big pills so might need to find the little plastic thing I got husband to cut his pills in half. Like a little guillotine. well, I have bored myself into wanting a nap.....

As you can read......I am bored..so very very bored- mostly with myself......nothing is sparking any sort of JOY.  Sigh. Well.....got to get on doing something....anything.....sigh.

If your son’s pad Thai was good I’d appreciate his recipe. I love good pad Thai but there is a lot of mediocre pad Thai in this world.
