I have little if
anything exciting to talk about nowadays. Just the mundane. I’m drowning in a
sea of mediocrity. Same old, same old here, 24/7. Most of our days are spent
picking up prescriptions, going to doctor appointments or getting tests run.
BORING. Sometimes, when I’m out… I wander into a Thrift Store or two… to see if any bargains jump off the shelves???
With the global shipping problems, there is slim picking in the box stores for
seasonal items. And what is there is EXPENSIVE. In the grocery store many shelves are barren. After years of
using ALL detergent for my laundry, and being unable to find it… I switched to
these newfangled TIDE pods. They smell wonderful and the clothes are none the
worse for wear. So... change is good. The high temps of the past week, had our fans and swamp cooler
blowing non-stop. Had me wanting to celebrate Autumn on the beach. But that’s
not possible, so we suffered through the heat. I put a calming CD on… with an
endless loop of ocean sounds, including sea gulls. It brought the sand and surf
into the living room. I chilled my Harney pumpkin tea… drinking it COLD, rather than drinking it hot…. like I usually do this time of year. It tasted scrumptious. Cleaning out the closet,
I found a couple old Gift Cards. What a surprise??? The first was for a date
night at Applebee’s… from eight or more
years ago, from my parents… for our anniversary. Applebee’s says it’s still
good. Imagine that? So... we’ll have to order lunch one day. Also came across an
old gift card, for Netflix. So we opened an account. The movies and TV shows
there, suddenly showed us a whole new world of entertainment, we’d been
missing. Who knew all the intriguing things out there, to watch. We’ve been
enlightened. And thrilled to participate. And will continue to do so. Meanwhile, most of the Christmas
gifts have been wrapped and packed, ready to ship to the family. I shopped for
them, this past May and because of the Post Office chicanery with Mr. DeJoy… I’m
shipping them out November 1st. And hoping that gives them enough
time to be on the doorsteps of loved ones for Christmas. Or there will be NO
joy. Otherwise… I just did a load of laundry. It’s 2am. I’ll
fold them in the morning. And then read my book Anxious People.
Folks... I am so sick and tired of my daily routines… I did something different. I already have dinner planned for the evening.
Biryani
Shrimp.
So there you have it. My BORING life.
Just taking it one day at a time.
How about you???
PS) I’m slipping away for a
Pumpkin Pie Blizzard...
after we eat tonight.
Cause what’s better than ice cream...
summer, winter, spring or autumn???
It will be the HIGH point of my day.
