Where I left off .......

     After another inquiry today about my blogging, I decided well maybe it is time to ....go for it.  Basically, the dogs, Jim and everyone else is kind of tired of listening to me and my opinions, ideas and rants so maybe it is time for a new audience. I am not really tired tonight. I am not sure why and I am not really worried or upset about anything so decided I would write. First, I had to find my blog and figure out how to get into it, make a new password, and then figure out how to use it again. 4 hours later. Just kidding.
     I subbed 1/2 day today. 5 minutes at school and I asked myself how I have done this for over 30 years. Mr. Pell greeted me with ... "I thought you went to Florida."  "No, not yet." I tried to explain to him that I am sure we bonded last year and that I am sure that he has missed me .  Autumn at the point asked me what I had been drinking?????
     So back to me.  Have you ever wanted to be two places at one time?  Right now I kind of need to still be in WV to complete  tasks but I really want to be in Florida. The older I get I don't like doing tasks, let alone completing them.  Jim accuses me of not completing anything.  Honestly, I get side tracked a lot. Then I need a snack, then a nap, then I check to see if Margaret is out of bed.
     I actually did something with my hair and make-up today. Folks at school thought I had a new health plan or something. No, just combed my hair. The kids asked me if I cut and colored my hair.   Yes, by the way I did.  I don't know if this is good or bad but I don't really care much any more if I accomplish much. I use to have lists upon lists, daily lists, weekly lists, monthly lists, check off lists, decorating lists, school lists, Christmas card lists. Now, I take naps and clean right before Jim comes home.
     I also hang out with the animals, facebook, think  about what I should be doing, talk to Jim on the phone, and make myself something to eat. I usually talk to Margaret each day and message family and friends. I actually slept hours this summer. Maybe making up for lost sleep the last few years, getting older or just plain lazy and does it really matter????
    I just thought of something that I am into...... The Walking Dead. I actually spend time thinking about how to escape zombies, hide from them and fortress your house from them.  Pathetic, I know but I actually do this. Why????  I have no idea. I guess I am just into the show that much.  Jim got me hooked so it is kind of his fault. One really snowy weekend we watched episode, after episode. I was hooked.
     So I feel asleep writing this blog last night. So now it is the next morning and I will soon have to start my daily routine of taking the dogs out, feeding the dogs and cats and planning out my day, which is pretty simple, see above. Honestly, what I spend hours doing is moving stuff from one place to another. I am not just moving stuff around the house but from house to house, up the street, across the street, from Florida to Rowlesburg, Rowlesburg to Florida. I have way to much stuff because my family has handed down way to much stuff to me, and my parents kept everything. OK, I keep lots of stuff too, but it is probably in my DNA. So today is another day of going through stuff and trying to decide what to do with it or where to put it. I need to simplify, scale back, down size, and basically just get rid of shit. Actually, most of us need to do that in all areas of our lives, you know, just let shit go.
