Hey There!
It's 8:10 AM EST, 🌤️ Mainly clear, 43°F, Humidity 85%, Wind 7 mph S
Yesterday was a very quiet day, but for much of the day I felt a little disoriented, not knowing what the best activity might be for the day.
After my morning routine, and after the cleaning person left, showered up got ready for the day. I had nothing on the schedule, so it was up to me to figure out what to do. I did not want to go outside. The temperature was warm enough, but the wind was somewhat too strong. So I decided to write a post on my public blog.
I continue to tinker with it, but there's really nothing left to do with it. It's so minimal that tinkering doesn't produce any real change. I've been struggling to find a nickname for short microposts, but I haven't landed on anything I like yet.
I took a break from all the nothing I was doing to have a lunch of turkey salad and a handheld apple pie. Then I went back to passing time. One thing I did was zoom around Kagi Smallweb, which takes you randomly to small personal websites. I am usually fascinated at what pops up, but on the whole all the web sites tend to be those of young people who are gamers, techies, neurotic, depressed, or anxious. I don't find too many sites of people who are writing journals or commentary on everyday life. I think that's because those people don't know about how to get their blog onto Kagi.
I took another short nap about 4:30 PM, and I killed some more time with videos before dinner, which was around 6:30. We had chicken thighs with zucchini chips and sweet potatoes. DW made the honey butter you find at steakhouse restaurants, and it was great on the sweet potato.
After dinner I watched two movies on TCM: Wise Girl with Miriam Hopkins and Ray Milland, and Here Comes Happiness with two actors who have faded into obscurity. They both had similar themes, rich girls who hide their identity to hang out with "regular" people, and fall in love. I haven't spent this much time with TCM in awhile, and am picking title at random of movies I'd probably never have watched in the past. Better than YouTube to pass the time.
Cleaned up the kitchen and went to bed at 11:00 PM.

That's all for now. 'Til We Meet Again!
