Weekend Coffee Share is a time for us to take a break out of our lives and enjoy some time catching up with friends (old and new)!
Grab a cup of coffee and share with us! What’s been going on in your life? What are your weekend plans? Is there a topic you’ve just been ruminating on that you want to talk about?
Hosted by Eclectic Alli, her post and InLinkz link party here.
Flowers, ahead of the expected winds, rain, and thunderstorms. I have so missed taking photographs of large raindrops clinging to branches, leaves, and blades of grass.
Time for a cup of tea, here, and buttered toast or strawberries with milk. This has not been the most coherent week. I feel like I have been doing chores forever, trying to reassemble living spaces. I think that the last of the laundry is in the dryer, now. Finished the kitchen catch-up yesterday with scrubbing out the sinks with baking soda.
At the beginning (on Wednesday, I believe) of the laundry project, my feet tangled in a bedsheet that slipped from my arms on the way downstairs to the laundry room. I have fallen enough in my life, and seen other people fall, that I knew to fall backwards and slid down half a flight, and so, just severe carpet burn, some skin rubbed off, and a couple bumps. Grateful that a couple aspirin evening and the next morning did it for discomfort and swelling, so that’s good.
Also good was that after more than a month and a half, a local store finally got in the one brand of toilet tissue that I am not allergic to. We tried some substitutes in the interim, but…too much blood from open sores. We still haven’t found the safe facial tissue. I used the last of what I had, last night, and am now rummaging in winter pockets and purses for any emergency stashes.
I am quite looking forward to attending worship via Zoom again, this week. And cheerfully anticipating the Artist’s Way workshop via U of Wisconsin Platteville that begins on the twentieth also via Zoom. All my appointments with dentist, doctor, ophthalmologist, labs, &c, will be done with by then. and I will go back to being a hermit. I decided to treat myself to the deluxe edition of The Artist’s Way 25th edition with all three relevant books by Julia Cameron included.
Also, I would let you know that I put my hands on the hitherto unopened box of Hamilton, the Broadway play? musical? I do not remember whether one of us purchased it or it was a birthday or Christmas present. Anyway, I hope to play the disks and look through the printed material during the coming weeks. I may actually count it as a couple “Artist Dates” during the (13) weeks of the AW online workshop.
If we were having coffee/tea together, today, I would lament that my eyes feel strained quite early on in the afternoon. Needing to do something “not sighted” and give them a rest. The letters become blurred on the screen. (Must quit using the “safe” eye drops and try instead the boiled salt water I use to clean the Scampers’ eyes.) I have gotten back to doing more miles on the exercise bike, some days. Only two yesterday, but six miles, a few days before that and four, previous to that. Not so much exercise as I would have liked, but moving around more while doing work around the house. Al got the whole yard, except for the fenced-off portion, mowed and the grass clippings hauled off for city composting. Now, we look to be in for a week of rain and thunderstorms, pretty much. And the grass will grow…and grow…and grow some more! How lovely that it will do that!
And now the Scampers are restless. I do not know what Charlie is doing or where!
I look forward to visiting with you later in the week.
Best wishes,
Lizl
