Quarter ’til noon

I am letting my hair dry sans brushing or combing or anything- the prospects are not good and perhaps it has something to do with my last post . . . or not. But anyway, yesterday we went down to Fort Wayne – we being Alison, Cameron, Summer and I – and eventually wound up at Glenbrook Mall where I lost my prescription sunglasses (They were turned into Lost & Found), ate at the Food Court (Where I lost my sunglasses), took advantage of a sale at Yankee Candle and spent a lot of time in Barnes and Noble.

I got lucky at the last place in that 1)  I remembered to check the large print books and 2) found Chicken Soup for the Golden Soul for Kathryn Feller.  I was so pleased to see it because it is chockful of short stories which don’t require a big commitment of energy and can be read over and over just for the pleasure of it.

The book was on the top shelf, so I looked around and spotted a gent with long legs sitting in a reading chair; I approached and asked, “Are you tall?” He said it thought somewhat so I had him get it down for me. Customers sitting in bookstores are usually pretty nice – and maybe he was a store detective keeping an eye on things . . .  so maybe he was wondering if while he helped me someone nearby was lifting a book. Or not. I have a devious mind. (My life is filled with so many tangled webs, I need a big trunk to keep them in. But wait, the web thing is about deceit; I’m not quite sure it is fully synonymous with devious. But then again, where did all these webs come from?)

We got home and there was a big brouhaha type argument between me and  the person who got to stay here in peace . . . and didn’t do one bit of picking up. At all. So I stomped around and fed Sydney and then got to thinking 92 is 92 and perhaps I should get in the car and run the book over to Kathryn. So I did. And then I felt better. Not a whole lot, but some.

When I got back, folks kind of took turns peeking at me to see if they needed to set out flares, but apparently I was stable enough that no alerts were issued.

My good friend Maxwoo – Here & Here

joined me for a snack.

And then I started a sudoku from my new book.
