For the record

[hummingwolf]

If I seem more quiet than usual, or uncommunicative, or stand-offish, or generally uninterested, it doesn't mean I am not interested. Mostly, it means that I am still very, very tired from my recent upper respiratory infection (which has not entirely gone away). It is difficult to keep my eyes open, much less type anything coherent, or even think anything that doesn't sound too amazingly stupid.

It's not you; it's me.

So, not much to report here. Never left the house on Thursday. Walked a total of perhaps half a mile on Friday because I needed some cheese. Also made a few phone calls, making a doctor's appointment or two and confirming that food stamps are still "pending." Today, I walked a couple miles (more than tuna half, but heart), which might not have been too bad if I hadn't overestimated the weight of groceries I could reasonably carry. It was one of the few times when people passing on the street looked as if they were worried about me.

Books read so far this year: The Elephant in the Room: Silence and Denial in Everyday Life by Eviatar Zerubavel, and Exodus by James D. Newsome. Neither is a particularly weighty tome, but at least I'm not allowing my brain to turn into a pile of mush yet this year. Well, okay, exhaustion is increasing the mushiness levels, but I am working hard to make sure the mush has big, gnarly lumps in it.

Really am so very tired. It's probably time to stop typing and let you get back to the more interesting bits of your friends page.

I am doing the whole worn out thingy trying to keep working when my body screams for me to stop. Definitely commiserating.

Do you have a rolly shopping cart? Or a officedepot type rolly cart plastic box on the bottom and folds up? (it's heavier than the "old lady" open wire rolly shopping cart.

Glad you are not allowing your mind to atrophy, I have not read a book in months. LJ is my reading it seems, that and web looking aroundy.

You have commented plenty with encouragement to me so thank you for those efforts. Stay warm and as comfortable as you can. I will keep an eye out for your posts. I do enjoy them.

I honestly don't have a place for a shopping cart in my room, so that's not really an option. If I'm coming from a store, I either carry the bags home or take a bus, depending on what I feel I can handle.

Thank you.

Thank you!

It's just two books so far, but I am a significant part of the way through a third & partway through a fourth.
