Ending Paragraphs with CAPS

Today I went to the gym (which was awful as I haven't been there since before the plague took me out, and I felt like I was starting the entire program all over. I'm hoping THAT doesn't think it can take as long as before!), then to the blood bank to donate, and there I found out that my hemoglobin is 146. Yeah, I'm made of IRON.

I also sliced up pears from Costco and stuck them in my dehydrator. Last time, I made them chips, but this time I cut them thicker (like the book said) and we'll see what comes out...it was good that I went out, because while I'm here I just keep checking. I'm like the kid in the garden who wants to dig up the seeds immediately after the dirt has been patted down. That's why I'm writing now...to stay away from the dehydrator because I can't keep turning it off, and taking off the lid. Tomorrow I have to endure the tempation all over again, just with mango instead of pear. SIGH.

I think I forgot to water my poinsetta one day too many. Not that I can say for sure that if I had watered it yesterday it would be ok, but I think it's been too long now. I watered it this morning and it has not made any attempt to recover. If it had a heart it would try, but it's done NOTHING.

Today I also (finally) finished (I had started a long long long time ago) making my photo album of Spain and Israel for Facebook. It was hard to look at the pictures today. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I love what I accomplished and who I was. I was in pictures and I didn't think twice. I saw so much more than Breton or Edmonton or Winnipeg. I know if it lasted forever it would not be the same, and I am going to learn to be that person anywhere I am, even if not on vacation. Or seeing incredible things or doing incredible things. So, here's to being in more PICTURES!

D-A-N-C-I-N-G & P-U-Z-Z-L-E-S & G-A-M-E-S. Oh My.

The problem, I have decided, with living in an attic apartment is that you can't really just dance (and sometimes, I just want to dance!). There is always this concern that the people downstairs don't want loud music OR jumping and leaping going on above them. I wish I was not aware of that possibility...cuz then I'm blast some music and do some cleaning dancing (dancing to music while cleaning is really the best way to clean).

I love writing with brackets. I am not entirely sure, anymore, what brackets are actually used for. Yet, I love to use them to insert whatever I want to say with complete disregard to grammar and punctuation.

My apartment now has a fantastic coffee table (it's glass, and I always VOWED never to have a glass coffee table because they have a knack at becoming fingerprinty and the dust that accumulates is incredibly obvious, but I do kind of really like this one). I put a tiny plant and 2 brass and glass candleholders on it, and now just need to find some candlesticks for the candleholders to make it perfect. There is a kitten puzzle that I can open, put out, and maybe start. I'm not a puzzler. I'm hopeful that someone will come and visit and put it together for me. My mom suggested I should not put it out because it will be one more thing I'll have to dust. I'll just have to have company over sooner rather than later.

So, if you are a puzzler, feel free to come over and work on the kittens with (for) me.

Under my tv I have Grey's Anatomy the Board Game (it was passed on to me, not sought out and purchased ha ha), Apples to Apples, iMAgiNiff, BopIt, and 2 decks of cards. I want a games night so bad, but am not sure who should come or where it should be. Part of me is very much afraid that no one would come. Oh The Fear. It follows me every-which-way I go, but a games night would be full of laughs, and smiles, and cheer! At least that is how I envision it.

All around my lovely new coffee table with some yummy snacks.
