Inventory
Just recently I bought more supplements from Puritan’s Pride. After they arrived, I realized I probably should inventory what I have and what I might need - cart before the horse style. Turns ou...

Planning a trip

Ah, Memorial Day
Three fighter jets just flew overhead. They were pretty low, but the noise didn’t rattle the windows - glad for THAT.
Broadway Theater
There was something about the 50s musicals - Gigi, My Fair Lady - where the woman had to be reshaped to fit the image the man had of perfection. The story was interesting (yes, I remembered parts...
On the subway
The train was CROWDED! A young man got on - he was SO handsome I had to turn around or I would probably stare and blush - Jean Paul Belmondo type. OMG! The train got even more crowded, so this ...
theater
I work part time, on call, substituting for the person whose job it really is. (She might have a medical appointment or something.) Luckily, the place where I work is across the street from the...
Bullets
The Ailanthus trees are in bloom and the air smells like jasmine tea. There was a man breathing on my neck yesterday on the bus so I hunched forward and put my head down. The woman sitting next...
I find things
Just now, on my way back home from errands, I saw a neighbor getting rid of a room air conditioner. NOT the kind that goes through the window, but one that sits in the room and vents through the...

I went to work midday and the subway was still crowded. When I got on, I stood at the pole and looked at the young lady across from me. She looked like an ex-student of mine (not that I remembe...

pay it forward
A little over a week ago, I was at the discount store and purchased three pairs of gloves and a hat - all to give away. I immediately gave one pair of gloves to a homeless man I see regularly nea...
all I have to do is dream
Lately not only have my dreams been VIVID, but I’ve been remembering them in DETAIL! Last night I dreamt about a high school friend. More than a friend, he was my BEST friend! We had lived in t...
Warm(er) in the Northeast
I’ve been spending all my time indoors lately. Eating through whatever food I’d had in the pantry. I had to go out to replenish my “stores”. Lots of canned foods (forgot the beans, so will get ...
Outside my comfort zone
Comfort - HOME; outside - anywhere NOT home. That said, I went out today, on the coldest day we’ve had for a LONG time to a meetup about weight loss and spirituality. There were only three of u...

It's winter!!
Although the temps aren’t THAT low (36 degrees F), there’s a wind blowing from the north. It feels MUCH colder. I brought out my down parka, and needed it! I had some errands to run - post offi...
