WHILE fixing breakfast I was also continuing to work on my goal to transcribe my blog posts into actual physical journals. My earliest blogs were text heavy with very sparse photographs. As I’m moving forward in time I’m finding greater inclusion of images. Since I’m unable to add those graphics into the paper journal, I find that I need to add descriptions and interpretations. The journals can not be word for word. The physical journals are more of a reimagining of the blog stories rather than a true transcription
WE finished our breakfast by 8:30. We decided to not go to morning coffee. As Ella said, “I just can’t deal with all the hate.” At the beginning of this early morning gathering I was enjoying the fellowship and getting to know some of the other apartment dwellers. However over the last several months it has become a gathering of negativism and gossip.
DAY 81° Patchy fog this morning. Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 80s. East wind 5 to 10 mph. NIGHT 63° partly cloudy. Patchy fog after midnight. Lows in the lower 60s. South wind 5 to 10 mph.
BECAUSE we were done with breakfast and not going for morning coffee, we busied ourselves with other things after breakfast. I worked more on the old blog posts and Ella got caught up on emails, Facebook, games, puzzles, and other things. This was fine until I realized what time it had become. We were supposed to be at Grandies at ten o’clock. We pulled out of our parking space at 9:57. I took the fastest routes and drove the maximum legal speed. We covered the eleven miles in fourteen minutes.
THE GRANDIES meeting lasted a little over an hour and then we played canasta until about 12:30. I was becoming weary at that point and we agreed to end the game early. At that point we were nearly even in scores.
I HAD a coupon for a free Domino’s medium 2 topping pizza. It was an unlike coupon for a delivery pizza. I tried to place the order but there was a catch. To get the free pizza delivered I had to order a minimum of $16. So I ordered boneless hot wings, a pasta bowl, and soft drinks. In the final total our free pizza cost us $21. But we’ll get three meals for two of us out of it. So not free but not bad at $3.50 a person per meal.
