I surprised myself by getting up earlier than normal for a Friday. I usually laze around and read for a while. But I had oatmeal for breakfast, then ran a few errands. I went to pick up my newest prescription (I hope this is IT!) then stopped at the bank.
Next I splurged and went down to L&L Fleatique. Haven’t been there for a while. There were a few interesting items. I passed on the Snoopy vampire (too expensive!) and the wooden stars (although they were lovely!).
I did, however, purchase another beanie baby skunk. They are very hard to come across and usually expensive. This one was $3 so he came home with me. Currently he is sharing the limelight with the other B.B. skunk. Wonder, will we have baby skunks eventually?
After lunch – toast and tomato – and finishing the laundry and ironing, I sat down to finish the Flash Fiction stories. I didn’t want distracted by the TV so I put on Youtube videos of City Alight (Christian singing group) and listened to their calm and soothing music while I read the last dozen stories. I did end up finding a few that were well written – a few of those I totally did NOT like the story but recognized the creativity. That’s a hard one to deal with! There were a few that had a little humor and those are my favorite. So we’ll see what happens next. I’m waiting to hear when the other two judges are ready to compare scores. I think the deadline was October 1st.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was my day. It’s cool, rainy, dreary, and windy. A good day to be inside reading by the fire. Wait. I don’t have a fire. Or a fireplace…
My blessing for today was taking a leisurely walk through L&L, and finishing the stories! But I am still basking in the delight of spending time yesterday with our sweet Cameron!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW September 28th is:
Ask a Stupid Question Day; Family Health & Fitness Day; Fish Amnesty Day; International Lace Day; International Rabbit/Bunny Day; National New Glasses Day; National Ghost Hunting Day (for my friend Ed K!); National Good Neighbor Day; National Hunting and Fishing Day; Save Your Photos Day; National Public Lands Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Train Day. Tomorrow – I’m good at asking stupid questions. I wrote a story named ‘LACE’ – one of my very favorites! Tons of bunnies in my yard, and I try to be a good neighbor. No hunting and fishing. And why would a fish need amnesty anyway? God bless…
