I started out lacking energy but knew I need to get back to walking, so after hanging a load of laundry on the line I went over to the gym. I just had nothing to give today but managed about 1.2 miles. I came home and made a protein shake which didn't sit right with me after still being full from breakfast, but eventually I got to feeling normal again.
I made a trip to the library, the Dollar Tree, and to Michael's to exchange something I bought over the weekend. I hate having to return an item because I didn't look closely enough at what I was picking up. I've done a little preliminary work on my lemon painting today and will be glad to see what it eventually looks like tomorrow evening. I even sketched some bananas and want to do grapes, although I buy the white or green grapes which might be difficult to color - I'll have to try it. I may have mentioned I want to hang the little canvasses above my kitchen cabinets where I can see them and hopefully enjoy them.
The weather has been so nice and should gradually become cooler until Friday when it will rain. I have a big load of towels to wash and dry on the line, and then I should be good to go for a couple of weeks. I am so tired of the way laundry keeps stacking up - no relief from it. Just when everything is clean and put away the whole cycle begins again!
I'm still enjoying the constellation Orion although it is definitely changing time and place in my sky. I think the two brightest stars are Betelgeuse and Rigel. Does anyone remember a dumb movie years ago called "Beetle-Juice"? I remember my kids were watching it and I wasn't paying really close attention, but it eventually got to me because it seemed so ridiculous. Maybe I should go back and watch it myself. Wonder if it is still around. I have no idea what it's about or if it even relates to the star but maybe it's on YouTube and I could take a look at it. I could just ask one of my kids - the one with the best memory, as this was in the mid-1980's I'd say.
I'm not really hungry but I need to eat. I've had a little more discomfort today with the injection sites in my mouth, but a few more days should have me feeling better. I sure hope so because I feel like crap today!

That movie was an out and out comedy. Don't even try to make the plot make sense. It was fun as I remember. A couple dies and has to haunt their house. A new family moves in. Hilarity ensues.
ReplyDeleteI remember my kids laughing, but every time I looked at the screen I could see nothing funny, I guess I was already too old to appreciate it!
DeleteI know all about the blahs. They come around if I'm not busy enough. The only reason I ever have to do laundry is so I can have clean sheets after I've used both of my sets. I keep enough underwear around so I can go at least 2 weeks or so and the rest of my clothes don't seem to get dirty. It's not laundry that keeps showing up in my life it's the dust and dirt that needs cleaning. Where in the world does it all come from?
ReplyDeleteI can easily go 2 weeks or longer without having to do laundry, but it's how fast those 2 or 3 weeks are going by that is really getting to me.
DeleteAt least you went to the gym and did a yourself a walk that was a good thing.
ReplyDeleteLaundry seems like a never ending job around here for some reason. Maybe I need more clothes.
I tell ya, it's the time that's going by faster, not our clothes! I can get by at least 3 wks with what I have, but those 3 weeks just fly.
DeleteI know what you mean by hating to return stuff. Luckily for me Kelly doesn't mind doing that. I recently bought a pair of slippers at Walmart which I should have known would be too small for me but rather than tell Kelly about my stupid mistake I just bagged up the slippers and dropped them in a local Thrift store bin. Those 'Blas' have dogged my all my life and I never know when they are coming or when they will leave. You are correct about Betelgeuse and Rigel being Orion's two brightest stars. I saw the crazy movie Beetlejuice years ago and can tell you it has nothing to do with the constellation. Coincidentally I saw Orion this morning while out with Pheebs about half an hour before I read your post.........
ReplyDeleteI recently bought a couple of items (new) on eBay that aren't what I want. I didn't spend much and will donate them to a thrift shop rather than send them back, so I know what you mean!
DeleteSpeaking of what's up in the sky, I saw something on a website indicating that Gemini is in the general area of Orion now, but I haven't been able to see it. You probably have better night skies, so maybe you can tell me if it is visible and if so, where should I look. I see Orion just looking out my bedroom window, facing south. The chart seemed to show Gemini more overhead or just to the north, and I doubt if I will go outside to look at those hours of the morning!
Yes, the Gemini twins are in the sky with Orion and here's how to find them. Look below Orion’s Belt for the very bright star Rigel. Now look above Orion’s Belt for the star Betelgeuse. You can draw an imaginary line from Rigel through Betelgeuse to locate Castor and Pollux. Remember, you’ll be looking for two bright stars that are noticeably close together..............
