I had big plans to get out of the house today…
there was sunshine and blue sky.
I got up early and did the big house things -
cleaned out the freezer,
split up the meat I bought to freeze it
in smaller portions
because I am trying to finally start cooking
for 1 to 2 instead of 4….

I was planning to go for a long drive,
maybe stop for a hike…
bring myself some snacks,
take the camera,
a playlist…
maybe stop somewhere quick and
pick up a rake.

But…when I got in the car,
it wouldn’t start.
Google tells me it might be the solenoid in the starter…
blah.

So instead of a long drive or a new rake,
I curled up in a chair by the window
and read a book while eating oreos….
so…almost as good.

Honestly, the silence and the solitude
are starting to wear on me a little tiny bit.

I think I will spend the rest of the evening
letting myself feel a little bit sad…
catching up on this show that I love,
and maybe grey’s anatomy and
I started this last night and thought I would not like it…
but was SO pleasantly surprised.
The first episode made me laugh AND cry last night.

and this….this also made me cry a little bit…heehee…so sweet
