Off the Cuff / My Other Journal

Today

I know I have been neglecting my blog, but this month, every year, is usually the busiest for me, and also, the most stressful.

We go away around this time each year to avoid saying no to Thanksgiving dinner invitations. Funny thing is my family, and hubby's too, live far away. So it is not them. This year we decided to stay home as quiet as two mice. Let's see how many people will needle me afterwards for not attending their party.

Today someone asked me for my do-able wishes, in other words, material wishes. I don't think I have any urgent ones. The ones I have are non-tangibles and are impossible to fulfill. I am a tough customer.

We went out to lunch to a place by the ocean. It is not so hot now so we could sit outside. Actually it is perfect around barely 80 degrees and I love watching the pelicans and the seagulls interact. Two different species and they get along quite well. Unlike people.

One thing I can carp about is the local NPR radio. I used to love it. They must have changed their staff or something, because they keep playing experimental electronic music, which bothers my ears. I guess if that is the only thing I can think of complaining about, I must be very lucky. Also, there are always my CD's to fall back on.
