Momma said it, so it must be true! She also said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions!" "Hindsight is 20/20 looking back." "Easier said then done!" Now for some reason, I think these little quotes come under the definition of "idioms". It might be fun to note here that "idiom" is seperated in my paperback dictionary by only 2 words from the word "idiot!" That is just a little tidbit of meaningless trivia to start your day off right.
It is now 3:09 AM and I have been up for about an hour. I made a cup of coffee in my French Coffee Press since I am too tight to go buy another percolator for the sole purpose of making one cup of coffee every morning. I have finally mastered the fine art of making exactly one cup full with no coffee left over. Living alone has lots of advantage this being just one of many.
As a single, live alone woman, I am free to step out of the shower completely naked and dash down 2 flights of stairs to answer the phone. I am also free to take my shower at any given time of the day, or night. Lunch may occur at 3:26 AM and breakfast at 3:26 in the afternoon and ice cream is liable to happen about any time and is not considered a snack, but rather a meal depending on which other 2 meals it occurs between.
When someone says, "I will call you," that means nothing to me. "What day and what time are you going to call?" "Friday" is not a definite time. If you think I am going to set home all day on Friday waiting for your call, you are on some sort of ego trip and that is a game I am not going to play. "Soon" is also not a definite. When one reaches my age every day is a gift! While your call may be important to both of us it is not what my life hinges upon. And, if you are 3 or 4 days late in calling, I will assume you are dead. (Note here that "assume" makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me".)
Sometimes I wander out the back door with a purpose in mind, like opening the goose house for the day. Then I see something I have been needing to do, like sweep the leaves out of the tin shed, and that leads to pruning the choke cherry bushes, which then leads to trying to find the damn Dremel that has "walked off"!
The cat understands me, and that is all that really matters! Right now she is over under one of the tables that holds ebay items and she is digging in a box. I am assuming she thought she smelled a mouse or rat, or maybe she is just trying to get a rise out of me for some reason.
I am thinking of all the things I need to do and people I need to call and I am pretty sure no one on the list wants me to ring their phone at 3:21 AM! And, anyway, I am mentally running through my friend list and coming up dry as to who I could call now and hear a welcoming voice. I could call Bernie since she is 3 time zones ahead of me, but I just talked to her a couple days ago. I know Debbie is up in Eastern Kansas, but I will talk to her when she calls in about 2 hours, so....
Maybe I will make another cup of coffee. I am trying to organize the lower basement where the sewing room is, but the Centipedes are doing the "centipede thing" and I do not want to deal with them right now. So, I am going to re-read this and publish it and do something that I do not know what it is right now. No doubt, the 6:00 news with find me asleep in my recliner!
Remember, "All's well that ends well." and God will never give you more than you can carry!
Peace!
