hello all, been a weird week, weather wise, health wise, body aching wise and sick of trying to decide what to eat/cook.
Jim: Glad you two are home safely...............gee, would love to take a nice 14 day cruise and not have to cook, clean, shop, and not hear any news unless I want to. LOL!
I too am staying away from the news as much as possible, just gets me all cranky and ticked off. don't know who or what to believe half the time anymore...............
Glad the holidays are over.... was the most alone one I have spent before....and really not much fun without kids around.
All the neighborhood kids (my tribe) have either moved away or grown up to middle school age and don't much see them any more. No kids playing outside with Christmas toys around my couple of blocks. I miss the sound of kids playing and laughing and imagining.Oh, if you have Roku, you can now get RedBox and there are lots of "free" films to watch.
Yesterday, I watched "Miss Potter" - starring Rene Zellweger(sp?) - it is a biography of Beatrix Potter - and is just absolutely delightful.I am reading "Beyond the Crushing Waves" - by Lilly Mirren - based on true stories of orphaned or very poor children from Britain sent to Australia to be "farm workers" - understand they were also sent to Canada and South Africa. Worth a read, had no idea England did this after WWII.
Really would like a change of pace, but doesn't seem to going to happen very soon. Florida is a petri dish... so I just go to grocery, drive up banking, gas station, doctor appts., and physical therapy twice a week (my doctor has them keeping me strong and balanced since I live alone) and I look forward to it - everyone masked of course.
Those of you in the "snow and storm belt"- please stay well, safe and warm and dry. Just seems like one wave of bad winter weather after another this year.
