babbling away from a tree branch in the south
my eyes may be red and watery.
my chest might be congested.
i might cough and show an unusual amount of activity interacting with soft soft kleenex.
but by golly, i've got cute clean hair!!!!!!!!!!
writing to you on this november day........sunlight filters through the trees......autumn leaves lie matted against the rain soaked earth. the interminal rain.........coming from me, a lover of rain, this is a lot of stinking rain.
but this sunshine offers a respite and a bit of bright hope. so onward we will go.
i am making a small trial pot of chicken soup. first time. i make veggie soup all the time, but now i am trying my hand at whatever is left in the frig chicken soup. so far i have chopped up two small red potatoes, two stalks of fresh celery, several handfuls of chopped carrots........and one chicken breast now cubed.......followed by seasoning, low sodium broth and some good old water. later we will probably add some green beans and who knows how crazy we'll get. laughing all the way.
as usual, when i sit here at my work station i have a load of laundry in the machine. the basket gets full and i trot it in here like a good little pup. hate to let laundry get too far away from me. do you do that or do you prefer to do several loads at a time or do you just wish for a genie to handle it all.........that's really my dream.........so i guess you would enjoy that too.
i rather think i want a giant genie, muscle bound and preferably not blue skinned..........red hat, yes, epaulets on the jacket and bright gold buttons would be nice.....but again prefer tanned or at least very healthy human skin........i am watching star trek, original series reruns so i am in silly imagination mode.
he (the genie i mean) will cross his mighty arms, there will be large gold cuffs on his wrists and giant hoop earrings, also made of lustrous gold..........he will like me, sing songs i like without the necessity of requests and make magic shows just to cheer me up..........he is available for loaning out should you need him........he is capable of taking on a very large community of wonderful people..........and yes, he has a sister if you should be of the male pursuasion and prefer someone a little more like Barbara Eden.
I swear i have not smoked anything illegal or had anything to drink fermented from the vine........i'm just feeling silly is all...........my body aches like a mad worn out monkey.........and i could use a good massage from head to toe.......
did i tell you ever that sometimes when my shoulders get stiff i will drive over to Kohl's department store and try on clothes? I don't like to exercise as it does not entertain, but by picking out cute clothes, taking them into the dressing room and trying them on I get a very nice workout. I have to feel really good to try on pants or dresses, so my most recent visit found me trying on lots of cute tops and sweaters. it was fun..........the colors and fabrics and the idea that i could just try things on to my hearts content cheered me immensely. i found one blouse marked all the way down to $3.20, tried it on and make the yucky face. it was not pretty, but the price............was so hard to resist. if it's not good on you, it's not good at any price. amazingly i managed to leave without purchasing a thing........when i got home the kinks were gone out of my shoulders but the CFS was kicking my stupid oh well what the hey tailbone HARD. but we gotta.......get out.......escape, do something beyond these walls..........not all times, just sometimes.
i hope today finds you cozy in your space.....pondering things that lift you up, hold you safe and give you joy..........i am so glad you are my friend.
tah tah for now or as my pals used to say......T>T>F>N> hugs, sparrow on bedrest
ohhhh brother......the phone rang.......answered it, got distracted.......dried my hair, refilled my meds, came here and added corn/green beans to the soup........put laundry in the dryer and after all that realized i had never posted this ........the bright side? i didn't lose the journal i just brain fogged out for a while...........have a good one .......signing off with a smile.

I get Wal-Mart haircuts all the time and I can assure you that I am super hot :). So, I bet you do look very cute. The chicken soup sounds good. I make it a lot. Mine has been known to cure illness. People tease me about making it with Holy Water, but it\'s just Maggi bouillon cubes and plain water. Much love to you.
It just so happens that I got my haircut Tuesday. Now it is nice & short & clean also. If you are a male in your 60\'s you are just glad that you still have hair on your head. LOL
I will keep my eyes peeled for Barbara Eden. I\'m sure she could help me out in many ways.
So glad you were able to get out and try on board and such.... Yes.... a new activity is helpful.... just saying hello to a stranger with a smile on my face of going into Stripes to get an iced tea.... anything to break up the monotony.
If you tanned, golden skinned geni appears, you may send him over.... I will show him the mop and vacuum....as I like to do laundry! Many hugs co Sun
Hello Sparrow! Been awhile here,but always enjoy stopping by to see how your doing. Raining here with leaves as carpet for the sidewalks and streets too. No sunshine though here. I love the rain too.
I enjoyed your blue jeanie thoughts. Laundry I do at night,believing that our power company statement that its better to do stuff like that at night and cheaper. I doubt it but Nights work for me. Cats loved to climb in the warm basket of clothes as I fold. As if they have anything to do or get done!!!
Your chicken soup sounds good. I am making soups too,kidney and chick peas/beans chunks of white turkey meat (breast) corn peas and stewed tomatoes with a teaspoon of olive oil and dehydrated onions flakes.
You asked about the drawing items i use,a fine point black ink pen,and a pencil to shade with. I have found my calling even if I am not that good. I enjoy the process. You can use color or coloring but for me black ink on artist tile is my thing.Anywho,Big Hugs or soft hugs for you sweet sparrow and greenies for the kitties
Wow, your soup sounds delicious. We make a lot of soup here, especially in the Fall & Winter. Bought split peas the other day to make Pea Soup & my daughter, Misty, made a wonderful chicken pasta soup a couple weeks ago that was wonderful.
I got a chuckle out of you going to try on clothes to exercise. Great idea, I had never thought about how much moving you have to do to try on clothes & it would be fun too. Do you usually buy something or is it all real cathartic & just browsing, no spending? I am from a small town & we have no clothes here to try on, lol. I would have to go to another small town 20 minutes away or 2 hours to a bigger city. Sounds like a good time, though.
I enjoyed your journal, take care, hugs, Denise
