is conspiring against me.
My arthritic hip seems to have healed enough to allow me to get out and about again. So I planned to catch the bus this morning and head for the grocery store. Planned, that is, right up to the time I woke up this morning with mild stomach flu type symptoms. Nothing serious, but just enough so I think it might be wise to stay put another day or so.
Time was I would get all mad and upset because of a small set-back like this. Not any more. Things usually happen for a reason. I'm supposed to stay home today. So I will. At least I still have my sense of humor. I chuckled to myself when I browsed the news this morning and read about a stupid criminal in the Twin City area. Seems he burglarized a home, stealing various articles and cash. While there, he used the homeowner's computer to check his Facebook page. And forgot to log off when finished. Which led to his capture. The story is here.
So I think I will go make myself a nice cup of tea. The last time I dehydrated apple slices, I saved all the peelings and dried them, too. Did the same thing with the pulp left over from making and canning cranberry juice last fall. When I run the dried apple peels and cranberry pulp through my little grinder and add a spoonful of honey, it makes for a wonderful soothing tea.
I have tea. I have my Kindle. I have a comfy rocking chair. If the Universe conspires to keep me in the house for another day or so, I might just as well enjoy it!

You never fail to bring a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephen.....We aim to please. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm p.o'd with Kindle. They failed to deliver an issue of Shotgun News on my subscription. I was on the "help" line with them for two hours last night. The girls tried but they couldn't solve it. I am going to call Shotgun news this morning.
ReplyDeleteSorry you aren't feeling well. Maybe just resting some will help you get over it. I hope so.
Thanks, Harry...Just a little stomach bug that will probably disappear by tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried to order any books or magazines as yet, so I don't know if I will have any problems. One of my kids gave me a gift card for Kindle books, so I expect to find out soon.
I have, over the last year or so, collected over 600 out of copyright old books and those are what I have transferred to my Kindle. They will keep me happily reading for a long time to come.
I have days like that too, you want to do something or go someplace and you just don't feel right. I have many kindle books on my laptop I down loaded for free, but I have a hard time getting started reading these days. I love to read, in the past I could have put down a good book
ReplyDeleteRob...Over the years I have learned to listen when things aren't quite right. I should be fine in a day or so. Just a bit of a wonky tummy.
ReplyDeleteI got the Kindle because I had downloaded so many of the free books, but was limited by my desk top computer as to where I could read. And I just don't have the space to keep a lot of hard copy books. I've been known to get into a good book and keep on reading, not realizing the time, until sunrise. Can't stand it. Have to know what happens next. :)

ReplyDeleteYou're a wise lady!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if wisdom has anything to do with it, Gorges. Just a waste of time and energy to get all frustrated over something I can't control. Might as well relax and enjoy the day if possible.
ReplyDeleteCan't win for losin! Do hope you feel better today....
ReplyDeleteHave had you in my thoughts lately.... feel better my friend.
Thanks, Mary.....just one of those pesky stomach bugs. It's better today. I have hope it will be gone tomorrow. It is comforting to know that friends care.
ReplyDeleteIn other words, when life hands you dried apples, make tea! I wish you were my neighbor. We would have such lovely times together. Plus we could walk in sync and prop each other up when our hips starts hurting.
ReplyDeletelotta joy...Sometimes that's all that is left - make tea! I like that propping each other up thing. Me...I'm holding out for a bright purple walker, but only if I can figure out a way to attach a raccoon tail like the kids used to do on their hot rods. Remember?
