Laps

 I have been doing the 7 laps (equals 1 mile) indoors because at my usual walk time it is still dark outdoors. So I should be doing my outdoor walk now but here I sit in front of my computer. Trying to think of something to share with you.

I can see the north side of the hospital from my living room. I know that the hospital provides meals for the prisoners and it gets picked up by the police at 12:15 and 5:15. In the early morning I am too busy to notice. 

I can see life-flight hellecopters when they come and go. Of course I wonder who,what and where whenever I see them. Sometimes I find out later, but most of the time I do not. Last night was a busy night, lots of ambulances arriving and going.  Many police cars coming and going. Jefferson is a small town of approximately 5000 people so this is unusual.

Evergreen is a like a small town within a small town. I am beginning to know everyone. We have about 6 openings right now and I won't get to know the new arrivals until I return in the spring. When a vacancy occurs it can take 1 to 2 months to get it ready for new tenants. As I am going south in October, I will be a stranger to them when I return.

On another subject, I am still making earrings, playing pool, reading or listening to books and other fun things.

Till next time!

One Year Mark

 Today, September 9th, is the one-year anniversary of Butch's death. It feels so strange to put that in a sentence. I suppose,at least partly, because in many ways he is still with me. I feel that he always will be. I get dozens of reminders every day.

It has been a busy year and I think that was a blessing. Idle hands...and minds are the devils workshop. One of my many "theories" is if you do not get enough human contact your thinking can get a bit wonky. In an indirect way, I learned that from my mother.😁 Yup, she was many times on the wonky side. Always interesting,however!

So today is a day whereby Butch will be jumping into my mind more abundantly than normal. He will be very welcome.

Safe Cleaning

 Jason and I went through my Safe this past weekend, discarding things that were outdated, or merely no longer needed. We ran across some sayings that I had kept a long time ago. I am guessing in the 1980's. I have always been a fan of word play and this find brought it out front and center.

I will put them here in no particular order: 

If it doesn't affect your breathing, let it go.

If you cannot change your mind, are you sure you have one?

Purranoia: The fact your cat's up to something.

A guy had to give up drag racing-couldn't run in high heels.

I have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiates me from a doormat. Rebecca West-1913

A bad spell of wether. 

Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will piss on your computer.

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

If you keep doing what you have always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got. 

Most computer problems are caused by a loose nut between the chair and the keyboard.

I still like all of them!

Choose Wisely

I think you know where I stand.
