Monday’s are a bit confusing around here. I’m always ready to leap into something like
grocery shopping, but first there’s the call to or from Bobbie. There’s the book I am reading, there’s always
something to slow me down. Bed making,
dish washing, and always picking up after me.
I’m determined to get to the grocery store today. There may be a holiday mid-week, but there’s
still breakfast and lunches to stock up for…yogurt, bread, cheeses. That sort of thing. Thanksgiving meal we will be out with Poolie
and her sister, but we will still need breakfast and dinner.
I also want to make sure that G has all he needs for the
three days I will be in LA. Bobbie and
Michael’s sister are happily getting rid of things. I am going up to help stare at the rooms and
talk about studio space. Up Sunday
noonish and home via the train on Tuesday.
Perhaps I need to get my ticket here in San Diego as I don’t trust the
feds to keep that tiny Van Nuys station open to buy tickets.
Monday’s always seem to be like this even if I’m not heading
to LA or celebrating Thanksgiving. I
like fractured days, but I want to know how I am getting home again.
Life is Really in the
Footnotes:
If it's Amtrak, I buy my tickets online. (I used to go a few days before, just so I would be sure I had it.) They send you a PDF with one of those -- what do they call it? -- a QR patch?? -- that the conductor just swipes with his phone. And you can print out an extra copy if something happens to the one you have.
ReplyDeleteThat tree is gorgeous. If I had to make a Christmas tree, I would make one like that!
Good luck with the jacket. Back to pool this AM after <2-year hiatus. Tired this afternoon, but feel uplifted. About to walk the dogs.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with train tickets. Stay in touch.
I discovered many old friends at the pool, also discovered several missing (dead) friends. Two women lost husbands suddenly to brain cancer and lung cancer. Too sad.
Everyone looked older and fatter. I received compliments on my weight loss. Tomorrow I meet with personal trainer.
Your tree looks nice. Dianne
Take an empty roll on suitcase to fill with her detritus.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous tree!
ReplyDeleteThe jacket sounds a find. I hope the sleeves can be altered to fit.
I have totally lost my sense of style and fit and my son's wedding really showed that off in the photos. I have to get better at selecting styles and getting fittings!! Just a little jealous, wish someone needed my advice on something.
ReplyDeleteI've been AWOL a few days. Sorry. Love the tree!
ReplyDeleteI find great joy in riding the train, hope you do too. I'd get my tickets ahead too. What a wonderful tree.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure G will be just fine, but it's good to be sure for your own peace of mind.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is indeed gorgeous!
The tree and the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly.
