Life seems to be all Bits right now. The sky is grey but no rain here. I swim and stretch then come home to be
distracted. Frankly, I seem to be easily
distracted these days. When I lost my
keys, I seemed to lose a bit of me too. I seem to be always looking over my shoulder
for them. Always.
Margot and a friend are driving north today to finish
registering for her next three classes in San Bernardino. She’s been sick with the flu it seems
forever, and she’s slow to get going. I’m
so glad she has someone with her on that long trip north.
Store stuff: Big
weekend sale during the Super Bowl this week.
Lots of mediocre furniture coming in with a soupcon of good stuff. The good stuff is gone at light speed. I found a pair of sandals that fit and put
them out in the store front in an obscure spot.
We cannot buy out of the back room.
The spot I hid them wasn’t hidden well enough. G and I rushed back after he got off work to
find another volunteer had big feet and good eyes too. Made us all laugh.
Weight: Up and down,
and up and down. I lost 15 pounds at the
nursing home. The minute I got to my own
kitchen, I gained it right back plus some.
Once again, I am now down 12.6 pounds despite dinner out innumerable
times. Last night the new “Fig Tree” and
a great beet salad. The meatballs didn’t
make it, but the duck did for G. Last
weekend we ate at the Little Italy “Felipe’s.”
G ate pizza, and I ate half a salad.
Earlier this week, we got a discount coupon for a G birthday dinner at
the “Brigantine.” Now that place has
good bar food. Tonight we are off to the
“Chart House” where he get’s a free roast beef dinner.
I’m getting better and better at eating less at these
affairs. Yes, you bet I'm proud of myself.
Looks like the old "birthing chair" although I am probably wrong. Tried the Shaker site? They made all kinds of 'different' furniture. Going to Longwood next weekend. Museum there has many old pieces of furniture? Will keep an eye out.
ReplyDeleteCame back after looking at chairs. The mystery chair remains a mystery.
ReplyDeleteStairs ok but tiring. At the end of day it takes both hands on rails to pull me up the stairs.
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd looking chair, and rather unique. Do you mean that the store will actually be open during the Super Bowl???
ReplyDeleteI have been less active on this vacay...but trying to eat less as well. I will see when I get home.
ReplyDeleteI gained six pounds over the holidays and it's darn hard to get them off again. I'm still working at it. We'll get there.
ReplyDeleteThe Mingei chair is quite unusual. I read up a little on it. Apparently it's got a Japanese root, I think.
