Cleaning the aquarium
We may get some snow this afternoon and tomorrow...4-6 inches. I put my boots in the car, just in case! When I get home from the nursing home (my second home), I will do something physical--clean the aquarium and the bathrooms or run around the block (kidding about the running!) Years ago, I wrote a novella, "Who Will Clean the Aquarium When I'm Gone?" Changed the title later to "Agateville." In a nutshell, it is about a woman who leaves her husband and daughter and drives toward the sun. You have to understand that the woman, Mona, has had enough of them both. They take terrible advantage of her! She goes to Agateville, finds an apartment above the hardware store and secures a job reading books on tape. She makes many new friends. Of course her husband comes to wine and dine her and in the end she returns home to see 100 yellow ribbons tied around the old oak trees. I need to find some balance here. I filled out a perspective juror form last night. My daughter had gone to the gym and was hoping for a healthy dinner. She had eaten already by the time I got home, so I had scrambled eggs with hot dog and toast. I need to spend some time with my husband. I need to WORK OUT to get rid of some of this pent up energy. Also have an appointment at the end of March to have a mole on the top of my head analyzed, biopsied and removed.
