Today

Can you believe we are having more bad weather tomorrow? Snow/rain/sleet/ice!

I went up and down stairs to the basement today and three loads of clothes and sheets got washed, dried and put away. What I didn’t do was to read the book club book. It was about Robert Oppenheimer and the Los Alamos project and honestly, I just couldn’t get past the first few pages. The book started by going back to the hiring of his secretary and all the back story of her life. Now, I read a fair amount of true crime stuff and if I am interested in the people, then I am willing to go back into their life to find out what brought them to this place, but I wasn’t the slightest bit interested in this woman, or in her boss. So, using my aching muscles {from going up and down stairs} as an excuse, I didn’t go to the book club meeting. And that book will go, unread, into the Freecycle bag!

I am now into watching Star Trek:Voyager in the evenings. Since I have seen some of these on television, sometimes I just skim through them. But I am really surprised how much better they are with no commercials and for one or two, –The Year of Hell: Part One and Part Two come to mind– even though I knew what was coming next, I watched the whole thing through again with interest. My very favorite episode {which I haven’t got to yet} is the one where the Doctor and Seven exchange bodies. I smile even to think of that one and how the Doctor in Seven’s body enjoys food so much and how annoyed Seven is when she gets her own body back and find she has consumed all this non-nutritional stuff!

{I am easily amused}
