Day 345

Yesterday was flat. Watched a lot of reruns while noshing on hummus and pretzels. Nothing done around the house and no outside activity at all. Once in a while it’s okay to have a day with any product at all. My work ethic shudders at the thought but I do occasionally slack off.  It is windy, wet, and cold out and warm and comfy inside. I got the tax stuff taken care of and will get a refund due to expensive cottage maintenance

Day 344

I had a cold brisk walk before the meeting. The BOS was interesting. The dam removal is complicated and after the presentation I understand it more. Later, Ann and I had lunch at Christina’s and that was good. She is my long ago neighbor on Rudisill Road and I always sit with her at the meetings. It’s still cold and wet but not as windy. Don’t know if I’ll get out or not. Could use groceries. Started writing in my paper journal again.

Day 343

Gale windy night. Some banging around that disturbed the dogs. I had a brisk walk yesterday. I was feeling dull and the wind certainly took that away! The Dem meeting was full of information. There is so much going on politically and I focus on right here and now. We are already talking about the election next year. Certainly change is needed. It is cheering to have so much positive energy. Today is Board of Supervisors meeting and I’m guessing, a long agenda.

Day 342

Two quick step walks after church were all the activity yesterday. I enjoyed Rev. Mary’s service. She drove through a blizzard from Ashland. Hollie was out of power and freezing. Megan was stuck in Arcata because of the snow. Don’t like the cold but I was warm and had electricity. Today I’ll line up the income tax information for my accountant. My habit is to get that done before my birthday. Might find another place to sort and purge. It’s wet and windy.

Day 341

The museum trip was a success for the writers. They were amazed by the collection and the resources. Everyone just jumped in and worked. I’m enjoying this experience.  Megan didn’t get home because of the snow so her dogs visited and had a conference by the heater. I don’t like this cold . We live here because we don’t like snow! I will go to church today. I didn’t go last week as I didn’t feel well enough to get up and dress.

Day 340

I did get two good walks yesterday. They were the best part of the day. The CofC was slow and boring. After straightening up the displays, there was nothing to do. I had a couple of conversations with the Chief and that is always fun. Today the writing group is coming to the museum for a tour and research for their short stories. They have questions and specific interests. Karen and I should be able to aim them at the resources they need.

Day 339

I appreciate the tea and stories group for the laughing and sharing. Delia is so dramatic while she acts out her story. Laurie brings cookies and descriptive writing, and Karen brings photos of her new grandson. Carol loved her photos. We move along in our lives together. Today is duty  at the CofC and it will probably be slow again. I enjoy being part of the group there too. It’s cold out but not wet and maybe I’ll get a longer walk today.
