So here we are - me our first morning here on the ramp in front of our condo on the ground floor. And Frank (not quite awake yet) on our screened porch. Today is Monday, two days left here and it seems the only sensible thing to do with them is "keep on keeping on" doing exactly what we've done most days. Tea and blog writing in the morning for me, then to the porch with coffee and my Kindle or iPad for reading...usually romance novels but one truly attention-grabbing one - "Manhattan Beach".
The sun shines onto our porch until noon so I often apply sunscreen and sit there for an hour or so. (Applying sunscreen is a first for me - I never did before and probably it's a bit late to begin.) But, that is one of my activities this month - taking care of Jaquie.
About 10:00 Frank comes alive - well, actually he just gets up and begins the process - coffee is the awakener. Then he plays SpiderSolitaire on the laptop and eventually splits his time between that and his "episodes"- Longmire, NCIS, Hawaii 5-0, etc. I also play solitaire - but with my deck of cards I bought in Ireland years ago.
There's always a nap mid-afternoon and usually a run to Fresh Market or Bi-Lo, which is nearer.
So you see, there's plenty of time to cogitate, which I'm doing much of. On the other hand, I also find myself with a blank mind. It has simply stopped whirring and I'm no longer aware of the inner boiling pot. Oh how I hope I can continue at least a bit of that!
Who are you?
