I thought I had a title but I guess I don’t :-)
Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap. What day is this? Y’know, when you are a nonamoose or even an octowoman or maybe anybody over the age of (ulp) 50 and you land in the horspittle, you get asked over and over and over and over ad nauseam “What day of the week is it?” Man oh man, I am standing here in the Squatter’s Paradise Chitchen with Garrison Keillor blathering away into my right ear and I had to try to think what day this is!
It is Saturday! I knew that! Today. I did my usual 0-skunk-30 walk. The Sault Ste. Siberian version. I have not done my walk since the morning of April 14. Was it April 14? It was a Thursday. What day is it? What month is it? It was about time. That I took a walk. At 0-skunk-30. Normalcy please!
I was in and outta the long term care a couple times after that. Lunch with The Comm, Mona, and Elaine. Caught up on some work. Okay. I worked extra time to try to get something done by Monday morning. I still have some work to do. Clone me, please. Glen’s for some grokkeries. Then the moomincabin, where I took those blasted storm windows off. I know that those things are necessary (or are they?) but I have hated them since I was a little kid. I’m not sure if April 30 is the earliest they have ever been removed. I think so though. Did I mention that I hate those storm windows?
Grandroobly (in his later years) used to spew blue language whenever he had to deal with the moomincabin storm windows. I did not do that today. It was a quick job for me. I *think* that the GG has replaced all of the hardware in recent years. Anyway, I then dredged two beach chairs outta the shed. For those who have gone to the other side but might still be watching over the beach. And for me to sit in now. I walked the beach. In bare feet. It was warm enough to do that. When I got back… Well… Guess what? There happened to be a bottle of cab in the Ninja’s trunk, thanks to the Callyforny Beach Urchin. And a corkscrew. And there was a whineglass in the moomincabin. And so…

Some “whining” for you today then? So, when do you get back to the Planet for a visit?

A soothing barefoot stroll down the beach is a nice short term getaway from ….
It is a rather nice ‘usualness’ don’t cha know.
Storm window removal will soon be a pleasant reminder of a new summer season.
Your current experience is related to by many. You are doing it very well.
