Quickie

 Thank God the library has opened back up! They closed their doors sometime in October and I have been putting the shipping info on a USB and hot footing it to the Staples close by and printing from their. i ask why I don't get a printer? Well, my computer, a trusty HP, is over 10 years old. I think it might take a blue tooth or a remote printer (see how unsavvy I am with tech stuff) but this gets me out of the house for a few extra minutes, Not to discount how easy it is to call up Pirate Ship and my G mail and print from there. A gosh honest time saver.

Here I sit, at the key board with rocket fast internet. It reminds me of the 10 years I spent with the Beverage Company and the five years I had a blog. I knew every library in my territory in both KY & IN. I rotated from one to another and could whip out a post as often as I wanted. it is a dream come true to be able to do the same here. No dogs, no J, and super fast Internet.

Makes it nice to have the opportunity to let my mind roll along and come up with memories and ideas and plans and record my dreams. 

So this is what has happened so far this month that is awesome. Happiness scored on a 1 to 10 and reflected on daily or when ever. I am at a 5 right now, pondering over J at home, languishing on the couch complaining that his life sucks. I am the worst person in the world to have to deal with this. I am selfish, self focused and the most rotten care giver you could ever want looking after you. And those are the good points.

On my birthday, Gone with the Wind was the TCM for the night. I love GWTW and I thought it was a gift from my Mom is heaven. She gave me the Book for my 15th b-day (maybe) and inscribed it, "Your favorite Movie".

I could not find the keys to the car on Saturday morning.  J and I search the house top to bottom. I went to the car for the 3rd time (well, maybe the 2nd) and said a prayer to St. Anthony, the patron Saint of lost causes and lost things and sure enough I found them in  my purse in the pocket.

Yesterday was Barry's B-day. We have a history of celebrating our birthdays together over the years especially when I lived in Florida for those several years right after retirement. He passed three years ago and I miss him something terrible. A crack in my heart that will not ever heal. And then yesterday I sold the Boonesboro Belt Buckle for 85$ I think he had something to do with it.

Then I was remembering going to the movies with Mom and especially Dad. I had a soft heart and could not take a lot of violence or scary stuff. I was answering J's  inquiry about going to the movies in downtown Mayberry (psydeuo for my hometown) and I told him the story about going to see the 7 Voyages of Sinbad and I freaked out at the people emerging from the cave and once the sun hit their skin it began to burn and crack and boils emerged. I had to leave the theater. Dad and I stood outside waiting for the more hearty boys to finish watching.

Maybe that is why I dreamed about Dad last nigh. I always imagine its a visit when it happens.

So, this week I have thus far,  reneged on four (count them 4 auction items!!). The latest being in Crittenden which is an hour and a half away! I did not realize. Then several weeks ago I missed picking up my white dominoes from Brewer. He may still have them. I totally missed the reference books I won up I71. Dang. And just now I realized I missed a Lincoln pick up. But I emailed them and they have it at the office and come and get it!

So, this week is a 7 so far.
