Sunshine.

The apartment is cold.

Last week Michael lit the pilot light to the wall heater. It has been nice to be able to take the chill off the rooms.

I got up earlier. It was somewhere in the 10 o'clock hour. Bailey had been pestering me to feed him - which I did around 9-ish - and he wanted attention so I petted him. He was quite happy when I actually got up.

For now, I am working on self care of myself with meditation for one, brushing my teeth and hair for another. Before I can do much more, I need to take care of myself.

To keep things simple, I have used the sticky note option in my MS Outlook program. In this way I can bring up one sticky note at a time and just do the things on that note. When I am done I can close it and bring up another if I am ready to do more. If I am not ready, well, it is okay because I will have done some things for the day.

Lately, I have had my nose in my book of the moment.


What a nice surprise I found when I opened the gas bill this month. Since I have been doing so well in paying our bill on time, they have given us back our deposit. We have a credit now to work through.

If Only . . .

If only I had taken voice lessons, I would be a singer in a band.
If only I had been able to take more ballet lessons, I might have been a ballerina.
If only I had carried through on my cooking, I might be a chef, if only in my own kitchen.
If only I had Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Bo as parents I would be a different person than I am today. I might still be living in Maine.
If only I had been able to take guitar lessons, I would be playing a guitar these days.
If only I had harmonica lessons, I would be playing the harmonica now.

Well, I cannot think of anything else to write about if only. Some of these I can see I could do now. I need to make up my mind to do them.
