myveryown_nemesisTitles from this place, as usual. If I am going to start journaling, and I think I am, and I continue here at LiveJournal, I will have to go with a paid account. Pondering...
Other stuff:
Word well has been dry for, well, I don't know how long the word well has been dry. I need to find my words and start writing with them again.
I also need to go back to focusing on no more than 5 tasks a day. I've been wanting to get so much done, that I get nothing done. Professional procrastinators and folks with ADD/ADHD will totally get that.
For those who are also friends at Facebook (which would be most of the people who know that this journal exists), the grandparents saga continues. While my brother-in-law found them a semi-assisted living facility 15 minutes away from his home, my mother-in-law recently had another major health event -- heart failure. The doctors were unable for perform a bypass surgery due to poor lung function, which might actually be a good thing, from a purely selfish basis. That means that they are putting in stents, and she will be able to return to the apartment at Jordan Oaks. Which means Grandpa won't have to move back in with us while she goes through at least 4 weeks of recovery and physical therapy. But that still could happen in the future. I feel like I should feel more guilty about being somewhat glad that they couldn't give her the surgery she ought to have.
Movies, books, all that stuff? While the grandparents lived here, none of that happened with any conscious engagement. I know I've watched movies in the past 4 months, but really, I don't remember what I've seen. If I had any time at the end of the day, I would zone in front of the TV, usually to The Big Bang Theory. Not too challenging, but also not your typical dumb as dirt sit-com. I do feel a strong desire to own the entire series so that I can watch them order. The first book I've read since...well, like visits to the word well, visits to library had halted for so long I'm lucky I remembered where it was. But I found it, and checked out Sunshine by McKinley and Ink & Steel by Bear. Picked up another McKinley (can't remember which one now) and another entitled Forest Daughter, but can't remember the author. An entry regarding books, both those on the shelf and those on my nook will be prepared in the relatively near future.
That's all for now, because 13 minutes ago I was supposed to go to a friend's house and keep her company while she makes a King Cake. Which, by the way, she makes very well.
