The Day’s First Draft
It’s wonderful to wake up feeling rested for a second day! It’s been a while, so this is definitely something to appreciate. I did have a minor setback with a medication reaction a week or so ago, which has thrown off my sense of time. Things feel a bit jumbled, but I’m accepting that for now and focusing on the present. A daily diary probably would help with the time issue, but since it’s never been my thing, I’ll just roll with it.
That little spring cleaning urge is starting to bubble up, but I’m taking a Zen approach and letting it pass for the moment. Though, I do admit, I’d love to get my studio back in order. Winter’s made a reappearance this morning – brrr, teens and a howling wind! Luckily, I’m wrapped in a cozy glow thanks to my heated throw, which makes the chill hardly noticeable as I ponder what to share.
I’ve probably talked about Snooks and my health journey enough for now. There’s more to life than that! And speaking of other things, I’ve mostly tuned out the political discussions. Headlines and last lines are my new news sources – seems like a good way to avoid the biased commentary these days.
On a brighter note, my dyslexia seems to be taking it easy on me today! Only retyping every third word now – a definite improvement. Snookums is sleeping in more these days, which is a big change after so many years of boundless energy. It’s an adjustment, even though I knew it was coming. Thinking of my brother Bruce, too, and how he’s managing. Aging definitely has its ups and downs, and while there’s joy to be found, it’s also okay to acknowledge the challenges, like the loss of strength. But as they say, it is what it is.
Wishing everyone a good morning!

Cold and sunny here, with remnants of snow. A blue and white day. Coffee has been kind, the job interesting, and I’m about to go home and commune with the cat. Life is good.

Well good afternoon my dear Sir!!! If you need warm weather ride your Segway over her to Florida and you will be warm. Was 85 today. But, it is supposed to get cool again for a few days which I am going to thoroughly enjoy because summer will arrive here soon enough and they say this one is going to be hotter than last, which means I must be living near the equator now 😐. I’m not as old as you, but I am right behind you and I am starting to notice that “aging” thing catching up to me. Ahhh the joys of getting old. But hey, as they say, it is better than the alternative. Have a great week dear one.

It snowed here in Nevada last week, but it melted almost right away, in the mountains they got over three feet, now here in the valley? We’re supposed to be hitting the 60s by Sunday. this weather just can’t make up its mind. glad to hear you are well.
