PORCH PONDERINGS

Walking in Circles and Ringing that Bell

The day was busy. But for the life of me I don't know why. Hmmm. Well, let me write a bit and try to figure this out.

I got up about 7:30. Earlier than I wanted. But whatever. I didn't sleep well, first time since I started this sleeping protocol. Weird. Then I puttered until about 10 AM, then I wandered over to RSVP to check on the Children's Bazaar we have every year. This event is fun, children can come and purchase gifts for family without parents. Of course, this year the powers that be have cancelled this event. No more than 25 can gather at one time in public areas. Drag. This virus is really starting to annoy. Since I don't swear, I'll let you fill in the blank. ___________

Then I headed over to the IGA to see if the Salvation Army bell ringer from my church was there. I wanted to get a picture for the statewide church newsletter. No dice. Hmmm. So I headed back home. I puttered a bit more at home. Did some computer work, then again headed out at 11 AM to once again check on the IGA, since I had the time wrong the first time I went. Still no person manning the red kettle. Hmmm... After buying some groceries I checked the non-profit's mail box and then took my daily noon time walk. When I got home I called the person who was a no-show for the bell-ringing.

"Oh, I had to go to Billings. Sorry, I forgot to call you and let you know." Grr...... Hard to fire a volunteer. By then it was lunch fixing time. So we ate an then hubby and I served our hour at the bell ringing. It's been interesting. Mostly older folks are donating, not the younger. People come to shop in the most curious attire. I saw one young lady today, probably high school age, in leggings and a sweat shirt. I don't think she had anything on under the leggings, since they were pretty much see through. Perhaps a thong? Goodness.

Since then, I've been sort of vegging out on the couch. I watched the Food channel, love that. Then a movie, 'The Equalizer 2', actually a pretty good story if quite violent. I like Denzel Washington as an actor.

So far tonight I've done a few reviews on the site, and trying to wrap my head around a story idea for a contest. Just having a hard time getting motivated. Maybe I need to get the sunlight lamp down from storage. This time of year at this latitude is hard on those of us affected by lack of sunlight.

You would think all that walking around outside today would have helped. Later folks! Write on!
