waiting ....

.......for the energy to get out and shop for groceries.
no urgency; it may rain again. Have been enjoying meals of apples, bananas and pb&j sandwiches ; microwaved dogs ( wrap dog with bun in paper towel- 45 sec on high) &/or left overs from take- outs
Happily, our major appliances have been returned to their homes in the kitchen.
I just lifted, & slid on small carpet, pc off the stairway & into the kitchen-to a spot convenient for painters when they finally begin ......in 2 weeks?
At the moment- 'normal' with a a place for everything and everything in it's place seems like someone's description of heaven or perfection- which we are told is unattainable in this life- so may as well get used to the flow.......
now I am hearing conflicting advice re: ceiling painting/window sills- door trim- paint first? finish installation of cabinet trim first ? what comes first and how much longer do we wait to get back to being comfy couch -spuds !?! tv is disconnected from cable- haven't seen cnn in weeks. we now have 5 channels on 12-15 ? " screen. Fortunately have not missed a "Desperate" episode & one pbs channel keeps me informed of the most recent 1/2 million dollar 1846 woven Navaho -Ute Chief blanket.
Not complaining! mind you- we look forward to stylish comfort .....& entertaining.
....Happy 59th wedding anniversary to our Gigi and Great Grandpa-
tomorrow- and happy birthday- today to CMD, currently in Segovia-enjoying frittas and red wines...
Drive safely this weekend- Brave souls on the road...
and CONGRATULATIONS to JD in Rock Hill-graduating Friday night & on to college in the Fall....Our very Best Wishes to you.
Enjoy your day ~~
