I text-ed back and forth with Sheila several times today.  We even talked on the phone once.  That didn't make it a whole lot better.  She still wasn't home.  I did control it okay, but my life is different when she is not here.  I'm mean that my life is boring enough when she is around, but to be left to myself I am as bland as well, real bland.  I wasn't frozen or down though.  It just was sort of lifeless.  But I did go through the motions that I needed to go through.  And my day was acceptable.  So now one more is gone.  It is early to end my day, but I want to just sit and ponder and do some reading and some thinking.  That is one thing that I try to take advantage of with the house so quiet.  (Quiet when I turn off the television that is.)

 

I didn't go out today except to get the newspaper this morning and the mail this afternoon.  Oh, I did go out back and wash out the skimmer.  Wow, isn't that exciting.  I am learning how to do this texting stuff.  I find that my fingers are too big, but the finger nail on my left hand it just right.  I am unable to do it with 2 fingers.  That is a skill presently beyond my capacity.  But I can live with that.  After she gets back on Friday I think it will be rare for me to use that skill much at all.  I guess that my cooking skills are about on par with that too.  I hope to not require them much either after Friday.  

 

I am trying to do my blood #'s and my blood pressure a lot so that when I go to the doctor in 10 days it will make up for my slothfulness in the last several months.  I hope to have lots of days of good #'s to show him.  So far, so good.  Now if I can just learn the last 3 verses of 'that' song.
