to everyone who replied yesterday. I appreciate the well wishes, sympathy, and the knowledge that words sent out occasionally find an audience.
I was also appalled to know how many others have been facing significant challenges these last few months. Getting older is not for the faint of heart. It can be a real challenge some days – sometimes aided and abetted by good family support and a responsive medical system. Other times? Well, we survive sometimes just to spite….. never mind.
I kept today quiet. Ok, not completely so. I made a run to the local Safeway (grocery store chain) to pick up some essentials. Over all, I am not terribly imaginative at what I get. Habits and I know what will be consumed and what will languish in the fridge. In spite of being careful – I note that here overall the price of the total grocery bill is up about 20% from where it was a few months ago. This is not great for me, and I can afford food.
Returning home, unpacked and put away, followed by an attempt to sit comfortably in one of the living room chairs. Every time I got up, I was replaced by the cat… Not that he wants the chair when I am not sitting there. But, cat…..
I managed 1003 stitches into a new project which puts it at about 10% complete. Thinking I might actually be able to have this done by the end of next month.
and that is all the news from this side of the US….
while it looks like the ground hog saw his shadow and so there is a prediction for 6 more weeks of winter….
