Sometimes, I do wonder where my energy went. Yesterday was really good, got a lot accomplished and started some things I had been putting off. Today, however, is a very different story. Zip in the shape of energy, lots of brain fog, and I was mostly ambition-free.
I’m going to try something different. Tonight, after supper I will write a modest list of to do’s for tomorrow. A truly modest list. Maybe 3 or 4 small tasks that can be finished in one day.
I certainly don’t want to bore you with talk about jobs done–or undone–but this is a truly new phenomenon for me to handle. I’d bet anything it is related to the grieving process (which is lousy in and of itself). I would not wish it on the Premier of Red China. Do they still have a Premier?
Also, I miss the talking–Lee and I would talk from the time he got up in the morning until we went to bed at night. About everything. It is very quiet here, and that is another thing I’m not used to.
Well, that’s about all there is for now.
Tomorrow is a brand new day.
God bless everybody

Today was a bit of a dud here, too. Mostly weather related. If you wanted stock footage for ominous clouds and nasty weather, some casual shots of today’s skies would be a good starting point.
But tomorrow is another day, and one of these days, things are bound to improve. 🙂
Amen to that.
Well, at least we have blue skies today. There is snow on the mountaintops, this morning.
It’s clear now, but we are in for about 3 days of rain, starting this afternoon. Whoop de doo!
Clear blue in these parts, but at least one long-term forecast I’ve seen predicts snow in 9-10 days. I’m not in the mountains, but at a fairly hig elevation, so when there is snow, down here at the 32nd parallel, my immediate area usually gets clobbered. I’m staying stocked up on food and keeping the vehicles fuel topped off, so I’m not too worried, but if you’ve never seen people accustomed to Tucson weather driving in the snow … well, it’s a sight to behold.
My daughter lives in Charleston, SC and when they have a few inches down there (a very rare occurrence) they always show it on the evening news for laughs.
In northern states, or in the Rocky Mountain West, where I was living when I got my driver’s license, driving in snow was an essential skill. The farther south you go, the less practice people have in dealing with snow. I remember seeing Interstate 10 shut down, on more than one occasion, for less than 2” of snow. To not do so, would have been mayhem.
Two inches? Wow.
In this area, there is zero preparation for snowfall. No snowplows, little, if any ability to deal with reduced traction. No one has snow tires, and in fact, there are tires optimized for rain that come in handy during monsoons, but they aren’t snow tires.
Most of the time, snows happen later in the day, or in the evenings, and frequently are melted by the warmth of the ground, by the next morning. But I’ve seen the Interstate completely closed once, and backed up for miles on another occasion. My answer is to remain home on such occasions.
I would stay home, too. And cuddle my cat.
… and if I get bored, I can introduce my cat to snow. She finds it disgusting, and an insult to all things feline. 🙂
I can just visualize her shaking one paw at a time, like they do when they are annoyed.
A combination of fascination and indignation. How can life be so insulting as to disguise water as a solid that is fun to play in, but ends up with wet paws? Of, the indignity. 🙂
Yep, I love the whole wet paws thing.
It’s a personal insult to the dignity of cats. 🙂
