I Had A GREAT Title
Then it went into hiding and I lost my first paragraph that was going to continue the point of the Missing Title. sigh . . .
Just before sitting to write this, I took a cup of coffee out to the back deck and enjoyed a few minutes in the early morning darkness watching the cotton-pile clouds that sauntered across the sky. I even managed to view a few stars between the cloud clumps. A lovely way to relax my way into today. Just not as long as I prefer.
Last weekend and into this week I put some Halloween decorations in the front yard and am enjoying their presence, colors, and lights each evening since. It is no Great Display, but it is better than no Display. I hope the weather is gentle on Halloween itself. I love seeing the youngsters in their costumes and the Good Adults who bring them to my house.
Have I mentioned that I've started re-watching "The Mandalorian"? This time around I get to watch 2 or 3 episodes one after another on each evening. It is MUCH more fun this way. The evenings certainly pass along more quickly and I can go to bed in a content--or even happy--state of mind.
Early this week (OK, maybe last weekend) I learned a nice thing. When you have allowed the dish-washing chore to accumulate to a small mountain, the dullness and irritation of having to finally dive in and "Get 'er Done" can be alleviated. Get a good friend who knows how to converse interestingly and even amusingly on the telephone, set said telephone on the kitchen counter, and get that friend to visit with you through the phone while you splash and scrub. The irritating chore becomes a pleasant--even FUN--visit. And the time passes while the dishes almost magically clean themselves. Then let them air dry and you can take your phone to your living room to continue your conversation. Much nicer than the "Doing the Dishes" that I've suffered through for so many decades! THANK YOU, THESPIAN15!!!
I hope all of you have a wonderful day today. And that your Halloween is entertaining and pleasant.
