Porthole

Fried, baked or scrambled?

After a no-energy Thursday will I recoup today?

49 degrees at 10 am. and not warming up.

I'm going to lay back down.

Got up to visit friends. Scored pork ribs. Went shopping. Bought an odd assortment of non-perishables plus lemon merengue pie. Just ate some.

Stuck my nose in lilac bushes and irises there and back. I love this smelly time of year.

It's now 56 breezy degrees at 4:40 pm.

My comment: "I have something written that I need to edit and submit... just because I need to be rid of it. There's always another lyric line to be read or written."

Another re learning styles: "I don't quite know how to answer this question. I avoided groups for such a long time. But what works? Repetition? Like learning French songs as a child or gardening. When it came to typing I was one or two fingers. Now? I use multiple fingers but not the right ones. But a task that was difficult became easy (or at least easier) when I did it my own way. Like writing. My mother helped. As a left hander I learned by age 10 to not listen to teachers who thought there was a right way (as in right-handed, linear, yada yada...) and a wrong way to do things.

I can't learn from mere visual or audio. My eyes have always been bad and my ears ... say what? I watch Thai BL stories because close up I can watch the expressions, listen to the cadense, learn that 'na' = 'please' but there are many ways to say it! I laugh when I hear a pleading 'na na na na na'. In context I know exactly what it means.

Yes, I like books. I seldom read a book these days, but blogs, news articles, anything and everything. I bought tea today. I now know that 3 of my 4 teas have cinnamon in them (I read labels).

I like to talk, share my knowledge, experience and opinions. Groups are still a problem. Small is better. No expectations is best. I love big cities in a way. I can be anonymous. A group like the Senior Center here can be daunting. I stayed far away from fraternities and sororities in college. I feared losing 'me'."

55 clear degrees at 8:11. It seems dark in my rooms... and then I realize the sun is on the north side of the building (only on the south side 7:40-7:40). It's also cooling to below 40 tonight. I should enjoy it while I can as 90 is forecast next Wednesday.
