Wednesday Wandering

[Kathryn-in-Canada]

I'm wandering about doing errands today.

I should also wander around the apartment with the electric broom and a cleaning cloth.

What sort of wandering will you do today?

[Kathryn-in-Canada]

My events out of the apartment are:

1. pick up my pants from the store (I skipped that yesterday in the interest of time)
2. bulk food store
3. Costco
4. Committee meeting at Presbytery.
5. Drop into the Christian supply store that is closing and buy stuff.

I think that's all.

Around the apartment top priority is bathrooms, followed by kitchen and laundry.

I also have to practice the song set with dh. He went through it yesterday while the super was here. The super was enjoying it enough, I heard him singing along! I was busy working on bookkeeping and chose not to get distracted.

Kittens and puppies.

I need youtube videos of cute kittens and puppies.

Yesterday's execution is seared in my head. I've only seen stills and most of the time I manage to look away when I see an orange coverall. I'm not listening to the news (I seldom actually watch TV news, we just listen to the radio.) But photos are all over the websites I usually read so I'm going to have to walk away from the internet today. I'm fine with people discussing it, I can skip over text, but photos get seared into my head.

I know what happened because in the middle of my talking about a political story, dh said, "Did you hear what happened to the Jordanian pilot" and I thought he was going to say something positive but instead he said, "imagine this", gave me the details and I've not been able to stop doing so since. I burst into tears and feel cold and upset and angry at dh. There's a reason why I don't watch violent and or intense films - I don't have the switch that says it isn't read. In this case it is real and makes me that much more ill.

I to have been know to close my eyes at gross parts of films. Wonderimg how I will do with the extra granny duty.

2day I am going to work on doing some laundry and sewing. I need to get to the BWP as it is my home non meeting no errand day.

Ack news about supplements is on again those pills without herbs in 'em rice beans house plants so glad I am not taking those supports my theory of quackery. I do take vits. Not those. Hum make. E wonder about the diabetic packet ones I do take the calcium chews too.

hi d kathryn and everyone. Yes, that was so sad.. I didn't watch it. My heart though hurts for him and all those men. So wrong.

I am more wondering then wandering... wondering when I can take a nap,wondering if this butter croissant will go straight to my hips, wondering if someone will do my chores while I am out.. lol -

I woke late... but we made it to the train. dd had a horrible day yesterday physically and is exhausted. The people that are with her at the Pain Center amaze me... most continue to smile and be kind even though their bodies are hurting. They were so kind to her. All of them are such fighters and if they can do this physical and OT daily I can do what I know I should do for my own body.

I wish you a day filled with beauty and really nice people!

[Harmony]

See RamblinRose's light on. I hope you are feeling better.

I am just wandering from thing to thing around here. Will see what I can get done today before I fizzle.

Need to hang up blanket I washed.
I updated 2 spreadsheets. All is current now.
Do some cooking next, before I'm too tired to cook.

I hope you all have a lovely day, especially blessed and DD. And Lucylee. A quiet, calm day.

Re - emergency food zip top cans of meat like spam tuna or salmon pouchs, & granola bars, emt son would have great input on this I suspect!.

Gkds were not so keen on the last batch of cookies I made so h. Took some to work today.

[DeeClutter]

I'm with you Kathryn. I can't watch violence real or imagined in any form. I, too, am trying not to see any images. Perhaps I'll just hang out here today. DD and dh went to see "American Sniper" but I knew it would be much too intense for me so chose not to.

They said to leave whatever we wanted, don't worry about cleaning up the barns. However, we still have about a gazillion loads of stuff to get out of there.

Feel like I'm in dejavu here, LM. We STILL have stuff at our old house and we sold it in 2009!! Dh got some more things before he left there in the fall but I know not what is still there. There's a good chance that new owner will be selling it again this year so need to get anything out that we might still want there.

Had a rough night (again). Was awake from midnight till about 4am. Then I slept until 7:24 when my bladder said, "GET UP!". Went back to sleep until shortly after 9. I hate this insomnia.

Dh is going to use the computer again for his NYS Safe Driving course. It really is long and intense. It will probably be the only time he will take it. Of course he stayed on it way too long yesterday. He wants to finish it today. It's a 6-hour course and you can't make it any shorter -most is timed. Some took him longer. Took us forever just to get into it. There's safeguards so someone else can't take it in your stead. Dh has such arthritis in his fingers and his typing is hit and miss at best.

Guess I'd better get breakfast and get busy and relinquish the computer (almost said typewriter -does that date me?)

((((blessedw2 and dd younger!!))))

I really dislike those 'zip' cans, Nancy. So hard for me (and I'm sure millions of others) to open. Hope you have a better day, Harmony.

I lost a whole hello post to you all...

So I am saying hello again.
D Dee praying you get a whole nights rest tonight!
time for work... I am still downtown - I set the alarm for 4:30 and woke at 5:45 (we have to leave for the train at 6) I have to take better care of myself to keep up with this schedule...

dd and I got snapped at by a woman on the train. I didn't know it was the quiet car... other people were nice though, smiling, and I apologized for talking and not knowing the rule. dd younger (after we got out of the taxi) in only way dd younger can come up with.. "she broke her own rule, she spoke in the quiet car" (lets say dd was annoyed that the woman snapped instead of being polite - I still think this woman had no idea she came off badly - There isn't a polite way to tell someone - be quiet I think her body actions of annoyance is what hit dd younger the most). poor thing... every time the center doors opened (the train was packed so others had to stand in the middle of the train between the doors) the woman shot a look of annoyance their way. I'll say a prayer for her to have a nice day... I think she needs it. Trying to see the good in someone is not always easy, for me, when the person is cranky and persnickety so early in the morning.

This afternoon, yes, not likely!

I'm s2s and have eaten.

Will have time with lovely people this afternoon so that's something to look forward to. Two of the ministers are really warm and nurturing. The third is challenging but in a good way, like my minister friend but way scarier (as in, I'm in awe of him and get tongue tied around him but can't stay away because he teaches me so much.) In fact, it was this challenging minister that offered a lifeline to my minister years ago to move from a congregation that wasn't a good fit (didn't know that until last month - I've never been with the two of them in the same room.)

I'm behind in my church work so need to get at that when I get home today. Dh is on conference calls for the rest of the morning so I'm going to head off for the day. Will take my books with me and if I end up with extra time will start working on my sermon for Sunday.
