  • Sinus weather

    Woke up coughing like heck, blurry eyes and barely able to move. Mornings are now miserable but I got to stay in bed until 5 a.m.  First thing I do in the kitchen is set up the coffee pot for Wil, set out his cereal, bowl and spoon. Then I get breakfast.  Then I set up the big purse for the pain management visit today.

    Beautiful day, drove car windows open. Concerned with my memory as I headed onto the loop. This is the third time I had to think what exit I needed. We hadn't seen our primary for 3 months and this is a 4 month trip but they both require the same exit and I have to pull it out of memory. Yesterday when I needed to take the car to the body shop for the trim same problem. Scares me. No I have not mentioned that to daughter. She has enough to worry about. A lot of construction is going on side roads and they have these concrete barriers up and I wonder if that could be the problem. Doubt it but they do obscure landmarks.

    I got there only to find out some idiot going out made me have to cut my wheels enough a back tire went over the curb. I could not stop on a main thoroughfare and wait for him to go out. He was to far over for me to get in easily, but I did. Only to find out my appt. is tomorrow!  Geesh. Ok I admit it my brain isn't always on the job.

    I told Wil as I was leaving I would pick up lunch on the way home and bless his heart he pulled $10 from his wallet, said it was his turn to pay. I guess his brain isn't working that money I have is really his drawn from the bank account. I stupidly told him that, no thinking again.

    After a nap I tried to color a bit to see if I could get the orange pen to work. I couldn't. But while coloring I was thinking about Dee Churchill, the old Coffee bean Goddess whose page is finally gone so now I can't go back. I think Doug's is also gone. Two old friends some of you probably knew.

    This weather I always remember my visit with Dee in Langlois, Oregon. I don't even remember the date I went. She died I think the month before Scott. It was such a shock when her brother left the news in the comments in her blog.  There are still a lot of blog writers at work. Read a few today.  I still need to clean out bookmarks though.  Finally found my link for posting on my 'Transplant to Texas' blog, not that I'll try to write over there. No one reads it. It's Word Press I think. lol  Shoot I really have little to write about.

    I don't keep up with all my Paint Shop Pro groups either. Quit going to one when the owner told us what a great guy the Pres. is.  Staying away from another group until after the election, then maybe I'll pop in. FB is hard enough.  Old Hat and daughter are over there along with my relatives. I quit reading Wil's family over there. I can only take so much of pictures of babies. lol His own niece doesn't keep us posted on her mother, she moved to Florida so I doubt she knows what is going on with her mother now.  I'm not sure Wil even remembers his sister.

    I'm rambling, I'm going. Thanks for popping in and no I don't know if I will watch the debate tonight. I already have my mind made up.

  • Hi Mary, I forget where you are. I feel for those in the fire areas, losing everything.

  • I look forward to reading your blog and would be disappointed if you ended it. So many of the blogs on this blog roll have been discontinued, but are still listed. I identify with your allergies especially here where the air is filled with smoke from fires. Today, it's a sinus headache. I long to be outdoors walking and gardening, but it's recommended to stay inside. Life goes on despite covid and fires and old age. I'm thankful for that, but it's not always easy. Thanks for your blog.

  • @BLB: Ah! the fresh air in the morning and the song of the birds ! a delight ! :)

  • @fauquet: Sinus make me cough but I will get as much fresh air as I can. Miss the air in the country, clean fresh.

    Love the sound of birds in the morning as well.

  • Hello, Bonnie ! You are coughing " like heck "early in the morning and you drive car windows open !!!! Hmm!
    We are the same with a brain sometimes hesiting! But we are prudent and organized!! )
    I see you in the early morning setting up the tea pot for Will and enjoying a copious breakfast! :)
    You are right , it is, perhaps, the best time of the day.
    Love
    Michel

  • Rosemary I should dig out my cd's or look for a folder and share some. Different camera then so they are probably smaller pictures. Found them, 2016.

  • I remember your trip to see Dee and what a lovely time you both had. Memories - can be taken out at any time and that is a blessing.

  • I knew what you meant CC, I read typos's. lol

  • That was supposed to be, "...wrong thing."

  • It's amazing how much our navigation systems rely upon subtle cues from external observations. When I'm driving, a new business (they put those new buildings up over-night, I swear) can cause my mental process to back up, say, "whoa", and wonder if I am where I think I am.

    You got there, even if it wasn't on the right day. (My mental calendar has always been wonky - wrong day - wrong time - wrong place - wrong thin. I missed a couple of final exams when I was a 17-year-old college freshman because of that disability; so, you're ahead of me!)
