Have I caught up with the date? I hope so.

Now I’m catching up with the routine I missed for the sake of the hot doc I told you about. Puttering is a necessary activity and it must be done. Plants won’t wait to be watered nor will the humidifiers. I have stuff to put away andl letters to write and menus to plan, and a grocery list to order.

And coffee to drink. It’s nice to sit here with it, and wait for my laundry to dry.. Time passes.

Here’s a line I found in my files:

“When I grow up I want to be an old woman.” Miichelle Shocked

I’ll have to look her. up. I never heard of her. God bless Wikipedia

Here she is:

Michelle Shocked

See? I’’m growing too old to know the young things coming along. It’s like everything else I do.: taking a bath, loving my neighbour. I have to keep doing it.

Or quit.
