Sunday, May 06, 2012 ~ MAY 2012 FOLLOW ME BLOGGING CHALLENGE prompt Initiating Entry Another long day Five months into twenty-ten Weariness sits in I just put Mom to bed. I still have to take the oxygen compressor (or whatever the machine is called that produces oxygen for her to breath) into her room. I made the mistake of asking Mom if she wanted to go to bed before I took the machine in her room. Mom has a short attention span and if I don’t take her to bed when she wants to go she forgets that’s what she wanted to do. The truth is, I’m not sure I want to fight the battle of the oxygen tonight, at least not until I rest a little bit. Pennies from heaven Rest beside my computer Fill a prescription bottle I was going to make this entry about pennies. I read in today paper (for once I got to read my morning paper before noon) that Canada will no longer produce pennies because the metal used to mint them is worth more then the pennies themselves. I remember reading something about a movement in the U.S. that suggested the U.S. Mint stop making pennies because the pennies were worth less then the metal used to make them, of course, nothing every came of it. Maybe, I’ll wash an apple juice bottle out and start putting pennies in it; they might be worth more then a penny someday. I’ll still label the bottle pennies from heaven. Another long day Wondering what to do with Pennies from heaven
