Those were the days, my friend

We thought they'd never end...we sing and dance...forever and a day...Ah the 60's, 70's, some of the 80's...where does the time go.

I know where it goes...it's goes into turning my hair gray...my skin saggy...my arms splotchy...my mind foggy...my veins blue...my attention span, wait, what was I saying...oh yeah...ummm...my intentions more sincere...my heart softer...my meaness waning...that's where it goes.

I only wish there was an energy clause in there. Oh!! Last night...I'm not sure if this qualifies under my hot tea experiment...of course it does...well, I made some microwave popcorn. I ate it. I drank ice cold water and I felt a heaviness. No! Seriously! I felt a little 'heavy' and said to myself...SELF!! Now is the time! Make some hot tea. So I did. Decaffeinated Green Tea. And I drank it with the popcorn. Chew Chew...drink drink. That bit of pressure receded. I kid you not. Maybe there is something to it. Perhaps at 11:00 pm isn't the right time to test it (I got a little hungry...OK??) but maybe it was the best time. And it wasn't a planned thing. I just happened to click.

Did you know that cold Earl Grey Tea is as tasty as hot Earl Gray Tea? I am drinking it right now. The cold one.

Damn! It's only 8:41 pm and it is seriously dark outside! In a month, it will be dark at 6:00. It's OK. I like fall and winter...most of the time. I guess I need to find some sweatshirts. They are in a Rubbermaid tub. I know...I have plenty of time before it's gets cold...but I like to be prepared. 

Some lady left a hooded sweatshirt here the other day...yes, she remembered it and we mailed it back (damn it!)...anyway...it happened to be a Hanes sweatshirt in a really pretty shade of green. I looked it up on the Hanes site (I already forgot the color) but it was much prettier 'in person' than I would have expected. That's the bad part about ordering things on line. Sometimes the colors are deceiving. But I like that whatchamacallit green. The only thing I need for cooler/colder weather is socks. And they have those at ALCO.

You can barely see these, but there are 4 little 'bozo' looking swallows (the tufts off eathers on the tops of their heads are comical...) in this dried mud nest. They are on the back porch of the office, almost to the ceiling above a conduit pipe.

Remember when I told you about Robert Redford's catalog? It was Sundance. I looked it up online to check out the jewelry...nothing there that I liked (even to almost copy). And nothing like they used to carry. It's more foofooier now. Not the chunky, southwesty, coraly, leathery, natural stoney stuff. Disappointing.

I need to take a shower. Yes, I want to take one..but I need to take one, too. I repackaged some fish...I need to take a shower. Have a nice night!!
