Wednesday Witterings . . .

Now this would be nice to have. I love the way everything is so neatly lined up and yet accessible. Of course, knowing me it would not stay that way for long, so I just admire these things from afar.  One thing I have learned about myself through the years is that I have an uncanny way of filling up spaces to overflowing. 

I don't know why I am that way. I just am. I will clear out a space and feel really good about it, and before too long I have filled it with even more. I am not a hoarder, but I am a bit of a clutter-bug, and honest about it.

Eileen was given one of those Sleep Apnea masks to try out this week. She picked it up on Monday. A fairly simple looking affair. The one she picked up had the things that go into the nostril. I couldn't see that working well with her and personally did not think it was something that I could sleep with. I was right. She only had it on for a bit and her nose was hurting.  So yesterday she exchanged it for the mask type. I peeked in on her this morning and she still had it on, so it must have worked a lot better. I know it is a lot quieter in there. She is a very heavy snorer and I don't hear anything coming from her that way. So it must be good. Hopefully she will have slept well.

Its a bit chilly this morning but could be worse. My weather app here on the laptop says that heavy snow is expected soon. But then it also says that it is going to stop in 34 minutes. I don't know how they know these things. It baffles my mind. (Winter just does not want to let go does it!)

I remember learning all about clouds in my science class in grade six. Of course we did not change classrooms back then. We all stayed in the same room for every class except for gym or music. I loved learning about things like clouds and animals. I still love watching nature shows.  The only thing I don't like to see is animals hunting animals. I want to reach in the television screen and stop it from happening, even though I know that it is the natural order of things. I just don't like seeing it.

That would be me. I don't even think about it.  I am sure my trousers are covered in cat hair most of the time, but I am so lost in my own little world it never dawns on me to even check. I know it would and does drive many people crazy. My sister has to use my lint brush every time she comes over just about, but I never notice it myself.

On a side note, I just looked out and it is indeed snowing quite heavily.

Yesterday the light on the ceiling next to my shower burnt out.  I can't really reach the bulb and will have to wait until I can get someone with a ladder to come over and replace it.  Last night when I was in bed, it started flickering. Of course I am blind as a bat without my glasses on, all I could see was this light flickering. I did not know if it was a ghost or not. (You know how the mind works.) So I finally got brave enough to get out of bed and check it out, and it was the light. I did manage to get it turned all the way off. I suppose I will have to call the maintenance guy to come and check it out today.

It is a new guy. The maintenance man. He seems to be a lot more amenable than the old guy.  When he came to clean my heat pump the other day, he cleaned the heat pump, and also replaced the smoke detector battery and even went out of his way to go and get a light bulb from a fridge in the shed down the end of the road to replace the light bulb in my refrigerator. I thought that was quite nice of him. The old guy never did anything he didn't have to do.

 

Cindy and I took a quick trip up to Pelton's yesterday.  They had posted on Facebook that they had fresh Oatmeal Molasses Bread on the shelves. They make the best Oatmeal Molasses bread. We had to drive up and get some. When we got there, there was only two loaves left and they had our names on them, figuratively speaking. I had a slice of it, lightly buttered, as soon as I got home. That was my lunch.

I don't think I could ever give up carbs. I love things like bread, pasta and potatoes too much. Pasta I might be able to live without, but bread and potatoes, never. Well, I guess I could, but I wouldn't want to.

I watched that movie on Netflix about Amy Winehouse at the weekend. The actress who played her did a great job, but I was left thinking what a tortured soul that Amy Winehouse was.  Why is it that so many incredibly talented people are so crazy?  

I was not a fan of her music for the most part.  I thought she was talented but I am just not that into jazz. I liked a few of the ones that flipped over to the pop arena.  She did have a very nice voice though.  I just thought what a sad, sad life, and finished all too soon. 

I don't think I would want to be famous for anything in the world. I would not trade my life for anything.

I really like this. Its the truth. I love my days. I do wish that I could get more done. My sister has done the most amazing little accordion sketch book filled with grocery staples (packaging for grocery things). It is amazing. I don't know where she finds the time.  I can't seem to find any time to do anything creative. I am still working on gathering everything together for my taxes and I have a talk to prepare for late in April and I cannot seem to get motivated. I need to give myself a kick in the butt because time is a wasting!

And with that, although I have prattled on a lot about nothing this morning, I am going to draw this to a close.  I really have not a lot left to say. 😟

A thought to carry with you . . .

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Scalloped Chicken Casserole.  This was really good. Simple to make, only a few ingredients, delicious served spooned over a crisp skinned baked potato with some coleslaw on the side.

I hope you have a beautiful day today. Normally we would be going out to supper with dad tonight, but he wasn't feeling too well yesterday. Said he had a cold, and he didn't go out for his tea yesterday afternoon, so it's possible that we won't be going out today.  In any case, have a lovely day. Whatever you get up to, don't forget!
