I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

Make Thy beauty to be my food, and Thy presence my drink, and Thy pleasure my hope, and praise of Thee my action... - Bahá’u’lláh  MY THOUGHTSStewing over what I cannot control does not get this place clean. But then, neither does NOT stewing over things.  WEATHER (April 13) 6°. 3 p.m. in Missoula. As warm as it's going to get. 6°. 5 p.m. in Buffalo 1°. 11 p.m. in Tromso, Norway. Lots of snow and expecting more.  1°. 11 p.m. in Oslo. Sunshine all this week!  IMAGESFrom yesterday. Repeat today: Snowclouds in the mountains north of here. Sunshine in the valley. Calm. Cold. My kolanchoe has begun to flower orange, the geraniums continue in pink and purple, the stick plant holds onto February with a few last yellow blooms. Add: flowering trees are beginning to bud and the kayakers have been annoying the river for quite some time now. The sunshine did not warm.  POULTRYToday's poem: "April 13 prompt: pottery, crockery, ceramics"  Yesterday's poem: "April 12 prompt: a poem with a door in it #30"  PORK Another new flash fiction. I seem to be focused on death ... In this one "I'm" a ghost trying to help the living:
 READINGStarted: In the meantime by Robin Lippincott Poetry: Local Visitations, Stephen Dunn  QUOTE"He dared to raise his fist to the sky. Nothing, gloriously, happened. Then a different terror overtook him." "Sisyphus and the Sudden Lightness" Dunn, page 26.  MOVIETIMEFinally finished "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"  MY LIFEEating cranberry-cheese and pears. Finished off the chicken-pasta  SENIOR CENTER and  COFFEEHOUSEEverything is still closed here. Bernice's closed for walk-in. One must phone now for pick-up. Since I do not have a proper phone ... screw that. I didn't venture over to the Sr. Center earlier. It's just 'drive-through' pick up a meal. Not in the mood today. By Wednesday when I do my weekly shopping or maybe tomorrow if I run out of milk.  O PINIONS!Re allegations about Biden: Part One: Jeremy, It is sad that you have designated yourself judge and jury. How omniscient art thou. Planning to run for God? Let me explain to you and everyone else who reads this: slander is slander; pointing your finger at someone and making accusations does not make them guilty. The rest of the rant (it gets worse) is found here: "While we whinge, the CMTA marches forward. "  WATT'S GNUS"I'm a Domestic Worker Who Was Fired Because of the Coronavirus", Melissa L. St. Hilaire, NYTimes On the other hand, nurses can see my mother who at 97 is at the end of her life but my sister can't. That said, Ms. St. Hilaire makes great points about how some working people are falling though the cracks without a safety net in place. If I were her friend or a friend of the daughter I might suggest a live-in situation ... but I'm not ... and I'm as helpless and hopeless as they are. BLOGVILLE30DBC: Staying at Home: Enough already! Do you actually use all the rooms in your house all the time? A pertinent question growing up. We used the living room off and on. We used the attic for storage although I slept there when I moved back in. We were kitchen and porch people. The garage could've been redone as part gazebo ... but ... Later my sister raised the roof and added two bedrooms and a full bath. Lovely now. When I rented three places over 9 years I'm sure I didn't use every room. In one I preferred the dining room and living room. In the other I used the wains-coat dining room the most and neglected the kitchen. In my two houses it was the same. In one I tended not to use the dining room. One bedroom was my office. I lived in the garden. In the other my bedroom was either a small closet with a window under the tower or a small room off the rear entry. We did use the front porch, tower, bedrooms, kitchen, etc. but the dining room had a magnificent gardenia and not much else. The sun-room was nice with its wicker-ware. It was a grand house I avoid thinking about. Now I rent two rooms. Enough for me! I was using three fourths of it until recently. I rearranged one quadrant so I could watch movies in a high-backed chair. I need to unclutter another area so I can use a desk. I've 'consolidated' in the past but at this point stuff has got to go!  |
