As I headed towards the library, I congratulated myself on having the oomph to get here and make a blog post, so my tally (by my admittedly questionable calculations) stands at three posts behind, not four (no promises about tomorrow). Then I stopped congratulating myself and remembered I probably would not be able to think of anything worthwhile to publish. I came to my own rescue by further remembering that it is Lame Post Friday. All I have to do is hit Publish, maybe first making with a couple random observations and some half-baked philosophy.
One note, and this veers into the half-baked philosophy category: while I was congratulating myself, I did NOT attempt to pat myself on the back. That’s a good way to dislocate your arm. I’ll be honest, I was not really congratulatory; I was feeling mildly pleased with myself. Since I have been spending a good portion of my time lately feeling stupid and/or useless, mildly pleased is nice. I rather enjoyed it while it lasted.
I intend to put my feet up later, deserved or not.
I thought I would throw in a picture to pep things up. I was looking for these sandals to wear to the library, and I could not find them. Under the heading Reasons Not To Feel Pleased With Myself. I fortunately had another pair of sandals to wear, since earlier I was wearing a new pair of shoes that made angry red marks on my heels. And that is my sandal story for the day.
“And what about YOU?” in an accusatory tone of voice.
Here is a random picture from my Media Library. I find it amusing. It is my friends Margaret, Kim and me rehearsing for a murder mystery. I would like to do another murder mystery soon. We shall see.
Ain’t they pretty?
I wanted to include three pictures, so I close with this shot of our Black-Eyed Susans from last year. This year we have a lot of greenery but no blooms so far. With my garden as with my blog, I always hope for improvement.
