Portlan

 

Along Bayside ztrIl

Sick day

What can I say?


     Felt like the sick days I took when working:  weak, sleeping, achy everywhere. Doesn’t feel real, but certainly incapacitated.

Fatigue

Colder than it looks 

     In town with A for haircut. Walked Red on Bayside Trail. Encountered Most pitiful, homeless man I’ve ever seen. Shopped at all these for the first time and came home dead tired,  just in time for  German webinar.

Day slipped away

 

My room with a view

   It rained all day yesterday til a brilliantly black cosmos studded sky presented for our only walk at 9pm   All my hours were spent on a screen, mostly fiddling with passwords and trying to land A’s mail on his phone. It ,involved Google. Still can’t claim to comprehend that my platform. Only the watched a tv news and Midwives; what a good show; I’m sick Iran as Lucy with Charlie Brown’s football— My takeaways.

      One thing I didn’t do was my blogs. Forgot til late then fell asleep. We’ll See what comes from a Sunnier day. 

      Ordered Ergofoot slippers for L and L this weekend. Feeling quite charitable, but that’s vanity. Especially since I wish I had done so sooner and often for my poor niece. Her mom this is the first time in years, if ever, she’s received a gift.  Shows how lax Lady Bountiful really is.

Sun snow showers during 
Our walk today!!!

Ho hum



Pot hole season,
 along yesterday’s long walk
  
     Yet another dull day, thankfully not cold.   I’d better clean house today and tomorrow since pest inspector is expected Saturday. That’s this morning’s big accomplishment; made a dreaded appointment.

Homeward bound





A good allegory from the pocket park

     I rather like having fowl in the ‘hood. Especially since they’re not next-door to me. L said some girls came around selling their eggs yesterday.  I missed them. She also said the eggs had not been washed and were quite filthy.  The girls replied that they also had a turkey back ther, and blaming it for the dirt. 
    Guess iwould prefer some from C, but although she has offered none have ever appeared. Future gifts I suppose.  

     Just returned from Very long walk with Red. We met and talked with many neighbors.  JW with Westies, Stewie and Sprocket suggested a self driving Tesla might be a good car for elder people. Sounds good to me.  Young Caleb discussed nightcrawlers with me.  T and P stopped as they drove by during a sun shower, And young JS with his mom also said hello from the car, and she told us sun showers are also called a monkey‘s wedding in one of the countries her husband travels too. Very interesting

     More pictures from the hood tomorrow, but they won’t match the ones JW showed me from the island light house off Crescent Beach,  Cable Elizabeth. He had just returned home from repairing tiles on the roof after an overnight, sleeping on the second floor.
