October 6, 2009

Stayed around the house today with a sense of a bug or something. Maybe it's paranoia about staying away from H1N1. I went to Bally Fitness Monday evening and never again. Too busy, too hard to find machines, too old and decrepit feeling. I'll stick to daytime workouts and the (woe is me) Silver Sneakers class, which is targeted to oldsters who want to stay independent. That's myself.
I heard recently from two friends in Ireland. Claudia, my Brazilian friend whom I met in Limerick at church and Elaine, my landlord in Sixmilebridge. Elaine's dog, Peig, was a delight. I'll scrounge around and find a good pic of Peig. She's a jumper or a leaper, you might say. If the car window was down, she would greet you as you drove in the driveway by jumping through the window.
My friend, Ana, remarked today that she found it odd that people drive on a parkway and park on a driveway. She's our neighborhood 15-year old clever, brainy gal. If you borrow that, please credit Ana. :)

What Day Is It?

The questions bothering my psyche today are, "How did I get this old, and it's October, you say?"
Today I hope to hold myself to a bit of discipline and write something often. Nothing deep, I'm sure, but at least a little trail of thought to pinpoint my journey. Something like this. Today, this October 3rd, 2009, I brushed my 10 year old Sheltie, D'arcy. Also, dosed her with flea, tick and heart worm meds. She looked somewhat surprised that I had remembered. I'll enclose of picture of the pretty creature, taken after her 'mama' groomed her. So as I attempt to post a pic in the correct position,

I'll do so with increasing befuddlement. Anyway...please forgive the sideways shot. I have tried any number of rotates and saves, yet here it is. More later...
