Three Score and Ten [Now Thirteen

Three Score and Ten + Day 154

I had planned to write last evening, but it did not happen. I had a few bids on the auction to watch and protect, auction was over about 8:00. And I had come back from Ice Fishing about 5:00, Just dark.
The fishing sure has been tough for me, But I did manage a good meal of fish this time. It is supposed to get cold here shortly for a couple of days. I have not been using the portable shacks here. They are getting hard for me to pull in the snow. Every year they seem to get heavier. I keep them up north. I do use a sled with runners and a good seat down here, Much easier to pull. But if the weather is real cold I will just stay home.
At any rate I got tired and didn't write. Today we are going to order the new carpet for our main bedroom. The carpet there now is about 25-30 years old and is doing the job, but is looking tough. We have been in this house going on 24 years. The wife picked out a medium green color to match the wall paper. There is not much selection of colors in todays carpets. Every thing is a blauh neutral color.
Later I will work on a couple of sale listings and continue on with the sheet music sorting. I hope to get done with the sheet music this week so I can start a new project.
Have a Blessed Week

PROMPT January 17th

What do you do to escape or distract yourself from negative thoughts and emotions? How do you take your mind off something you don’t want to think about?

That is a easy prompt, I go fishing. There is a lot I do not want to think about these days. So I need to fish a lot. It helps that I like to eat fish. Doing an outside activity hopefully with some sun also helps. In the summer there is also a garden to get away into. I need to stay busy.
I think I have come up with an idea for going to bed, In stead of thinking about tomorrow and what needs to happen, I think about what I did accomplish today. That hopefully gives me satisfaction upon sleep.

PROMPT January 16th

In your entry today, write about something you overheard while eavesdropping on a conversation you were not a part of.

To answer this, I do not have much opportunity to over hear conversations of others. And if I happen to hear something, I keep my mouth shut to others. I have little regard for gossip.
