Connections

I had errands to do today and then a Scrabble game and after yesterday’s warmth, the cold damp bought a psychological downturn. I retreated to a mini-hibernation and napped. Then I turned on the TV and watched a program about civilization – people and earth going down the drain. It was a series of scenarios based on a woman’s lifespan in the 21st century . . . Oh, I’ll turn this off just as soon as I see a dry Lake Mead. But there was always another preview. Finally, I changed the channel at about a quarter to eleven.

Then I walked into the kitchen and came back and went to turn on a light and blew the circuit breaker for all the lights in the kitchen and dining room. There was yelling and a trip to the garage and the breaker box; Sydney followed me and we had a heck of a time convincing him to return.

Finally, finally, I decided to check the news and my email and found the two comments to the post below.

And I smiled because I felt a companionship and it felt good. And then I grinned . . . and I’m doing it again.
