where did i go?

I was here a minute, well, a day or two ago.

Not sleeping quite so much and trying to catch up with my duties. Letters to write, phone calls to make and soup to dole out. A neighbour had a stroke and has come home from hospital in need of soup. Well, of course she needs more than that but it’s all I can give. Other neighbours, a couple, need more than that. So I made lots of soup, three kinds. So I was busy, and neglected other things, like my blog.

I’m here now, trying to catch up.

Soon.

But not today.

what is normal?

Maybe today will be “normal”.

The groceries have arrived and I’ve put them away. The weather is getting warmer. I’m taking coffee out to the balcony for the first time this year— I hope it’s warm enough. I have a shawl—and a ship blanket that I won playing Trivial Pursuit on a cruise. I will check my invoice and read the Longo’s magazine.

I didn’t do that. I found a new NETFLIX story. I had a toasted tomato and lettuce sandwich (on sourdough bread). And a nap.

I cooked: beef bone broth, and meat loaf. We didn’t use all the ground beef when we had tacos the other night. I have a potato baking and asparagus ready to steam, and a glass of red wine. I sat out on the balcony with it and a magazine i’m getting by mistake-Cottage Life. I have a complete dinner for someone. I didn’t have the strength to serve a guest. It was good. I ate my portion.

Soon I will get back to work, start reading another file. Tomorrow?

Laundry.

No matter what, life goes on.

WONDERFUL COMMENT FROM PAT. THANK YOU!!
