Groceries & other Stuff

• I am totally amazed that I can actually get on OD today. Until this evening, the site has been painfully slow.
• Today I bought twelve bags of groceries. I know this because I have a canvas carrier on wheels which hold around four bags and I made three trips from the car to my apartment! Most of the stuff is put away but there are still a few cans on the counter.
• I keep thinking {and saying} I need to go once a week but I HATE grocery shopping so much I tend to do it when I am totally out. I need to change my mind set about this. When I got home today I was aching all over. I lay on the bed which did help with the pain. The hardest part of getting older for me is that I have very little energy.
• I have been  looking at the Zentangling books on Amazon and some videos on Pinterist. I find that sort of doodling very interesting. It assuages my urge to fill all the spaces with twiddly bits! This urge I have to put EVERY tiny detail into my drawings is one reason I find abstracts so difficult.
• So, after getting over whatever I had a couple of days ago that kept me confined to the bathroom, guess what?   All I can say is that it is a good thing I have catalogs to look at in the bathroom!
• I just had a phone call from someone who was trying to call his mother. I am surprised it took us one or two sentences to sort out that he had the wrong number— unless his mother has an English accent, too!
