...coffee. The sky is clear and the fresh snow is sparkly. Very very cold tomorrow. I finished a couple books. The "Now" book may help me with my procrastination. In some ways I do the right thing already. When I travel I plan and then make plans B and C and work back from places and dates to make "sure" I'm good to go. Overcomes procrastination and stress. Maybe if I stand by a stove... I'm not into heat so I shouldn't complain about the cold. I do put a pot of water on the stove and boil away though when it gets chill. Since I have underwear to boil this is no big problem. I made my own cashew butter fudge yestereve. Today I'll share. Not as strong a taste as peanut butter and this time I may have under-boiled the sugar a tad. It's soft... but still yummy. First Night on Wednesday has about 80 events. But... not too interested. May go anyway... me: I made a calendar for January through June. I need to know when events and holidays are if I intend to travel. Like the Bookfest (Sigrid Unsets Dagen) is May 26-31 in Lillehammer; Eurovision 2015 is in Vienna May 23rd. So... I can choose to go or not if I'm aware. If I'm not aware... I need to gather info now as tickets should be purchased by February as I'm still considering Japan in March. That decision needs to be made a.s.a.p. I do like to dream. However, dreams go nowhere if not put into action. I managed to blog recently, check facebook daily, started another book, wrote a short poem yesterday. My rooms? Little by very little. I get overwhelmed but have done small things every day when I felt I couldn't tackled larger tasks. Plus, I keep dishes clean, shower every day, boil my underwear. As for coffee... Ever pour salt in it thinking it was sugar? I have. Makes it totally undrinkable. Came up in conversation today. I keep track of these stray thoughts. May be useful someday! 52,819 |
