I get flu shots tomorrow. Pfizer update and old people’s blend.
Time/Temp - Wednesday morning - almost 9:30. Cool, breezy, sunny. 56 or so degrees of Fahrenheit.
Wearing - Gray socks, dark gray sweat pants, gray local dairy store promo tee, and my old red hoodie from my old old old job.
Watching - Saw part of a Gabor Mate interview on youtube. He is the guy who interviewed Prince Harry. He’s a Canadian psychiatrist/celebrity. He says nice people get sick because they take everything on themselves and can’t say no. I don’t believe I fit in that category.
I should have an item for Excercise. Not that I’ve been doing any but I’ve been watching videos about the Five Tibetan Rites. Yoga classified and quatified. I threw away my yoga mat. That was a dumb thing to do. You know I’d eventually want it. Funny thing though - I thought I threw it away a couple years ago and then I found it and then I really threw it away. There is a resurrection parallel there somewhere.
Reading - A heavily underlined and bookmarked with a blank sheet of notepaper from a local bank paperback of The Arrogrance of Power by Senator William Fulbright - 1966. Fulbright was famously against the Viet Nam war. I wonder who believed in him. Also dipping back into E.L.Doctorow’s beautiful novel City of God. I love that book. I love that man.
Eating - just had a bowl of K and am currently nursing hot coaco combination of Maxwell Suisse Mocha (sugar free) and Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate (with sugar). Lovely new apples. And pears.
Pets - Lib is resting, mose pointed at the refrigerator. Cats are either outside or in the basement or upstairs. We caught a mouse a couple days ago.
Farming- Combine is fine. Jim’s gone to town now to get a new wagon tire. Wagons are important to harvest too. He keeps them in good tires. He hauls the harvest to the co-op in town in the wagons and he doesn’t want flat tires - not that anyone WANTS flat tires but he really doesn’t. Part of our highway has been repaved this year and the shoulders have been graveled/smoothed/etc. but he’s concerned about them too. John is either coming this coming weekend or the next one to help. John is a good guy. Oh and the skid loader is now laid up. I do not want to talk about it. Maybe next time.
Filosofy - I walked out of Writers Group yesterday because of politics. I guess we are lucky we aren’t in the same room. I thought I might get a call from someone later but I didn’t. I don’t know if I will go back or not. It’s a lot of trouble just to get mad. But it’s the only thing I really do - the only time I leave home.
Memories - If I need an Exercise topic, I probably need Plants/Gardening one too. Yesterday Jim helped me plant a small sack of tulips and daffodils - Golden Cotton Candy Blend. We put them by the steps to the deck. It’s one of those neglected never really was flower beds. Joana suggested I have my garden there. Her blue hosta that spent a winter in my bedroom is planted there. I planted two sprouted potatoes there last spring but never looked to see if they had produced anything. The whole thing needs work. And I feel just a bit slightly inspired to do a little more poking in the earth. I cut back the dead dying pot plants. Some are going in the house, sone aren’t.
Status - Here and now is a circle we find outselves marching around. We aren’t getting anywhere but we are still moving.
Bye everyone. Have fun. Don’t think too hard. It’s not worth it.
