Day #22 of the 30 Day Music Meme - a song that moves you forward.

This is my favorite Leonard Cohen song. It's not as well known as his other songs...and I didn't even know it existed until a few years ago.

Day #163

I flirted with an exercise bike - but I am a little leery of buying one for multiple reasons. One of which is assembly, and the other is getting it to my apartment.

Why am I flirting with it?

I got a little scared when I read my health insurance's pamphlet on diabetes - which came in the mail today. Now even the mail is trying to scare me.

Next door neighbor - actually it's kind of catty-corner, I'm in a cul-de-sac. One apartment is next door - that's the Russian family that doesn't speak any English, then across from me, and next to them is another apartment that gets a lot of turn-over. Possibly because families or couples keep renting what amounts to a VERY small one-bedroom apartment. It's smaller than mine. I know - I was in it before it was occupied, a few years back.

This time it appears to be rented by a guy with two kids. He had multiple kids coming in and out today. I've seen him, but we haven't exchanged pleasantries - because, a) he moved in after COVID hit. b) he doesn't wear a mask and has a beard. (usually just turns his back to me).( Read more... )

My father is doing better - according to my mother. She did a conference call today with my father, the Physical Therapist, the Occupational Therapist, etc. (Basically his health care team). ( Read more... )

It's official, I don't like summer. Kind of tired of everyone at work telling me about their vacations. Oh well, I'm more resilient than they are - I can handle five months with no vacation or socializing. And as my mother put it - why go on vacation? I have no where to go. I'd just sit and stew and binge-watch television. Also, I'm kind of living at work. The only way I could have a vacation is if I visited my brother's barn - which, no. Just no.

In a way, it's kind of relaxing just working from home. I'd complete things, then just stare blankly out my window at the trees and the birds and the blue sky, while listening to an audio book in between. I've been listening to an audio book all day - while working. I got tired of music, so shifted to an audio book for a bit.
