Struggling to think of something to
blog about tonight. It’s been an ordinary day—as days are ordinary lately,
since I’m pretty much confined to the house and on a walker. Really, what can
you think of new and different to report from that perspective.
Is it news that Louie Gohmert included
gay couples on his proposed ark, not realizing they wouldn’t reproduce? Is it
news that Hillary Clinton clinched the Democratic nomination? Well, yeah, it
really is—first woman to be nominated by a major political party—but who
doubted it anyway? And I don’t think she’ll be satisfied with that—it’s all the
way or nothing. Is it news that Donald Trump verbally attacked the judge “of
Mexican heritage”? Nah, I don’t think that’s news anymore.
News doesn’t get much more exciting
closer to home—Jordan and I had wine on the deck and she made me the
half-sandwich I thought sounded good—rye, cheddar, mayo, tomato, and diced
green onion. Lovely to be outdoors on the deck—until she went into panic mode
because a wasp was about to fly into the house. Thanks to her quick action,
fueled by adrenaline, danger was averted.
Jacob apparently thinks we’re going to
tear down the entire existing apartment—so not true. But he has asked to be the
first to sling a sledgehammer in the demolition process. I bet Lewis can find a
spot to mark with a big black X for Jacob to begin his demolition.
And so the day went—a guest blog about
Chicago written, an evaluation of a novel for a contest, email, etc. At 11:30 I
realized I was really tired, so made some lunch (not a success) and read
Facebook; slept for longer than I care to admit. How much can be exciting when
you’re on a walker and it hurts to put weight on the sore foot?
Looking forward to better days. Lord
knows, I have enough work piled on my desk to keep me busy for two weeks, if I’d
just buckle down and do it.
