About to get things ready for dinner. Just sandwiches and chips---easy food for a busy day. A few of my brood went with me to get groceries---ours and my mom's. She's going to have company this weekend, and we got her some extra things she needed and will go over there tomorrow to whip her house into shape. But honestly, for her being 83, you'd never know that she rarely has help with the housework. She really keeps things nice, and puts my own housekeeping skills to shame. No kidding. 'Course not to beat myself up too much---I do live with 9 other humans, plus four dogs and one bird, while she's alone. There
is a difference in mess-making, I guess.
And on Monday bought some more tea at the Middle Eastern grocery around the corner. Got Ahmad's Imperial Blend, which is
wonderful. And at $6.99/pound of loose tea, a bargain for sure. And a real comfort at certain times of day. I make a small pot of it in the morning and have a cup in the afternoon to make me sit down. Usually when I do that Daisy the pug sits in my lap, giving me no excuses to stand up again. Lap dogs are great for making a person rest. You just don't want to make them get up!
Looking forward to having some alone time when I leave the kids at Mom's tomorrow, though, and that'll be nice. I need a dose of my own company. And no talking. I do love the silence so.
Oh, and wanted to put in an interview a sweet guy did on Gary regarding his new woodworking adventure. You can find it
here.
