I've become very rigid about my Sundays. They're my time. I don't want to plan anything or meet anyone, I just want to spend every Sunday by myself at home doing whatever I feel like. It usually involves a long lazy breakfast with the newspaper crossword, puttering about, lunch in the afternoon (garlic & veggie rice today), and then coffee in front of the TV with Lucy-cat sleeping on my lap. I hope TPTB realize they can never change the Sunday programming, it has to stay the same forever. Well, except to add such delicious treats as the new British series Sherlock. As soon as I'm done writing this entry I'm making coffee for my weekly holy TV time.
Yesterday mom and I took a walk on the icy ground to a part of town where I haven't been much since I went to the equivalent of high school there. Mom had a discount offer from a coffeeshop there, situated where the library used to be. She got the offer because she does volunteer work for the Red Cross, something that seemed to strike a chord with the guy in the coffeeshop. In addition to our discount coffee and semla he offered us yummy saffron cookies and a delicious petit-choux for us to share. Real VIP treatment in a cute little place.
Then we went to the movies and saw Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part I. I don't know. Mom kept nodding off. i managed to stay awake but wasn't exactly on the edge of my seat. Feels like they could have done more with it, even though I wasn't satisfied with the book it's based on either and they did find some beautiful locations. Oh well. It's a cash cow. There are lots of people like me who have seen all the previous movies so we're not going to miss the last ones no matter how bad they are.
Next I want to see the latest Narnia movie. And get a haircut. My hair is seriously annoying me now. I need to bleach it too.
Coffee and TV time!
