31 M 18. Memorial day_actual

Bless me Fans for I have sinned. It has been three (3) days since my last report. These are my actions, activities and spin on the Last day of the first half of the New Year.

Well, I have been caught up in art work, art business and such related activity. The kitchen container jardin is yielding in spades if I can still use that word, the bike conditioning program is ahead of the ‘pre-program’ regimen and in a word, life is manageable.

Emma checked in with a good health report. So that is good news. Not sure how the health care system or even if it is ‘socialized medicine’ works Down Unda however it needs to work for those there like Emma. People need to learn to take care of themselves and frankly some people never have. Don’t have the foggiest notion(s) on many things the first being balance & moderation. Toss in diet and exercise. And DO NOT forget about REST.

Speaking of rest, what a night.

Promptly at 9:00 pm, when the electric is ‘free’, the Man from UNCLE double feature started. I had it going while I was burning feathers on the hear region of a killdeer (shorebird). At the intermission, I tired of wood-burning so I made an ice cream cone with Graeter’s black cherry-chocolate chip ice cream that my local K-Roget thoughtfully replaced my long-term favorite coconut-chocolate chip which I was CRUSHED to see tagged ‘DISCONTINUED’ by the local store.

Sometimes things just work out. With God's help of course.

Shortly after finishing that treat, I must have dozed off as the second feature was winding down. I woke up once at 4:48, read and stayed up. Made plans for the day, next week and the fortnight. Shows,

WHAT ARE YOU READING AND HOW’SYOUR MOM ?

Nancy, I nearly forgot about you.

How to Fix the Future by Andrew Keen. Enlightening and chilling. Promising and discouraging. Next read is going to be pure entertainment. Matthew Pearl’s new one. I have been corresponding with him and his latest book tour will have him in Houston at a bookstore doing a signing on the 18th. I already have the Presidential suite booked in the Woodlands.

Mom is home and doing well. Her mobility is way down but spirits are up just being out of those dreadful hospitals and being free of the staff even tho all mean well.

That’s about it really.

The sun is coming up and my list is once again lengthy. I got caught up on most of my running around yesterday touching bases with Donnie and Leon.

So I will not be venturing out at all today rather working in and around the casa, yards, studios and the cement pond spa complex.

I am greatly anticipating the ENTIRE MONTH of June. Always my favorite and the last day has gotten so sad on YOUR calendar that I will once again experiment with carrying June (Ju) on into and PERHAPS all the way thru July (Jy).

I am also thinking about keeping and changing Memorial day to Memory week or Memorial week to remember ALL of the dead not just veterans. A somber time of private solitude and reflection. Kind of like the last few ‘dead’ days on our current calendar between Christmas and New Years.

After such a short respite, get ready for Summer, change of seasons and there isn’t any cure for the summertime blues because it’s ALL GOOD.

Summer IS the BEST.

Toots Fans.
