What went before: Yesterday was all errands all day. The cover art for Diviner’s Bow is with the framer, and I should have it back by mid-February. There came up for discussion the always interesting question of which band did the superior version of “Good Lovin'” — the Grateful Dead or the Young Rascals. Facebook is leaning toward the Rascals. I now open the question up to those reading here. Here’s the Dead’s version. Here’s the Rascals’ version.
Onward.
Tuesday. Cloudy and cool. Snowed a tiny bit on the overnight. Trash and recycling at the curb.
Woke up sneezing and hacking, so — no sewing circle for me today. Grr. I did mask everywhere I went yesterday, and a good thing too, I’m thinking.
Breakfast was an English muffin with cream cheese and an orange. I only have two of the little oranges left. *adds to list* Lunch will be … um.
Rookie decided to help me choose my day wear this morning, and as a result got locked in a closet for a few minutes. I called him; he answered; and I let him out. It’s nice to have a cat who answers when he’s called.
Having been let out, he had to go get Grandpa to Show Him, I suppose, but neither one could get the door open again.
So, I guess today is stay at home and poke at things, but not too energetically.
I think my next audiobook will be Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, another frequent reread for me. I finished reading Midlife in Gretna Green last night. I had a good time with it, and there are six (?) more, I hear.
The backbrain has been providing snips of scenes and various insights for the next book, so Not Writing is paying its dividends. I plan to continue Not Writing today.
What are your plans for the day?
The Rascals version is the one I’ve heard enough to make it sound right to me. Also, I was never a dead-head.
my tasks for today:
1. go shopping
1A. go shopping at Karl’s Sausage Kitchen, which is going out of business at the end of the week, intending to stock up on some good bratwurst. Unfortunately they are completely sold out. :-/
2. go play Mexican Train Dominoes in afternoon: I won four (or was it three??) rounds.
3. tonite, go to chorus practice, begin learning some new music.
looks like a busy day to me!
Rascals!
