It’s 26°. Winter storm warning for tomorrow morning. Totally unacceptable weather. I just hope it doesn’t mess up my travel plans. It’s all about me.
Today, I did very little. I wish I could wrap up my taxes, but a big piece is still missing. So, taxes will wait until after I get back from my little train trip. I did “get ready” for my trip today. One of the good things about living at the asylum is there is almost no getting ready required. I plan on packing, showering and washing my hair, and watering the orchids on Friday morning before breakfast. Fill up my excellent travel mug with coffee. Eat breakfast. Pick up a sandwich for lunch on the train, kill some time, and leave for the station. Pretty simple.
Think I am going to take my computer. I realize that my computer is sort of like my security blanket. Heck, it’s even warm. I am just a crazy old woman.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
