Where Exactly Is...

My brain, my bed.. and whatever else I'm just not finding right now.

I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I'm doing what might best be described as settling old accounts and catching up on things I should have done.

My body is getting sleepy, but my mind is in overdrive. I just finished printing the pictures for my cousin, Tina, that I should have several weeks ago. There are more family photos on the VHS tape I did some time ago, but I'm just not up for that project.  I thought I had t the original of a picture of her mother, Ann, holding me as a baby, but my mother does.

I sent out pictures to Alice, Gabe's other grandmother, that she had been asking for. I finally got a round tuit. Some of you might get that little joke and others might not. People are always saying they'll do things when they get around to it... so, someone I know used to hand out little round plastic or wooden thingamabobs with the word "TUIT" on them. Supposed to stop the procrastination, but it really doesn't.

Today, there's laundry, dishes, and yardwork to be attended to. Not sure what to do for dinner.

Since Tom fixed the fridge it's no longer rattling like crazy nor is it leaking. Seriously, I think he should become a repairman if the cooking thing doesn't pan out. He saved us at least 60 bucks for a service call.

It's mid-September and the weather hasn't cooled enough to work outside, for extended periods, in the day, yet. Hilarity on crack is me hanging over my little Garden Hopper, instead of sitting on it, to get certain things done.

I started Thirteen at Dinner by Agatha Christie and the Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette by Carolly Erickson, both on audio. Need to keep my eyes open for a copy of Bringing Up the Brass by Marty Maher. My Dad would love it. Catch is the original printing was done in 1951 and is pricey. Even the reprint done in 2002 is pricey.
