This was my last day at the gym just one week ago. Then off to have coffee in town. I step out of my car to this each morning.
I felt sinus pressure the day after the gym and took recommended meds for it. Then settled down to drawing leaves in a new section of the six way book. Every day more of my dried leaf collection was added. Good thing I save interesting dead leaves because the pickings for fresh are slim outside this time of year. So here they are. Of course the first would be gum leaves.
Then right before heading to Asheville for a doctor appointment this week, I decided to take the home test for Covid. Messaged my doctor, canceled Asheville appointment and decided a good nap would take care of it. No one else I was near seems to have come down with the virus. I will wait until Saturday to test myself again. Amy, Patrick and Marla still plan on coming down for Christmas and will be here Monday evening. I will keep my distance when they are in the house if I still get a positive result Saturday.
In the meantime, I have the best company.
So far I have heard all the audio books that were saved on Libby (the library lending system). Did you know that Agatha Christie could tell an entire story using conversations? Never, he came through the door wearing a green hat. But, “Did you see the green hat he was wearing when he came in.” She rarely has to describe anything, especially feelings. She just lets the characters prattle on until the story is told. Fascinating. So if I was reading her book instead of listening to it, there would be loads of quotes and he said, she saids.
People have been kind to make recommendations but unfortunately they are not available in audio through my library.
So it is back to writing. A new short story is close to being finished. And it is a lovely dreary day for poetry.
Maybe another nap first after a hot cocoa.
Have a wonderful holiday in these times of uncertainty. I still am not watching any news but once in awhile a headline creeps across some of my feeds on Facebook. It does not look good in this new country. But it is what they wanted.
So I will head off to France (my kitchen) for a hot chocolate and join my cats for more naps.
Til later….
