It Is A Day To Stay In
Author: siggyIt is a day to stay in. No doctors appointments. Nothing I need to buy. There is plenty of food in the house. There is no reason to go out. I am enjoying the flurries and the swarms of birds I can see out my large dining room window. The first thing I did after dressing was put out more sunflower seed.
I am almost finished with my morning coffee. The hour, though, is late morning. I am about to start the coal stove. Everything is set: there is wood I collected and coal in buckets. I just have to play with it.
Last night I was up in the wee hours (1:20AM) reading a book I could not put down (“The Soloist”). It was made into a movie I wanted to see and could not find. I happened to be in the library and was looking for the movie to rent but they did not have it.
It never occurred to me until then to read the book. The prose was scintillating. I was riveted by the writing and could not put it down last night until I finished it. Now my wife is also reading “The Soloist”.
