Overcast, damp, and coolish Wednesday morning. A storm blew through Tuesday night, mostly high wind with minimal rain but that didn’t stop the little dog from keeping me awake while she panted and trembled and tried to sit above my head on my pillow and when I won’t allow that she sits next to my shoulder as close as she can get which makes me cranky! I have no idea how long that went on until she finally settled down and went to sleep and I went to sleep and slept until my morning pill alarm went off at 8:30. I should have taken advantage of the overcast and be done stuff outside but I’m just not feeling it and we did get some rain later in the day. This is what the sky in the north and east looked like at sunset while the south and west was a clear fading blue. This cloud was immense stretching from north to east I no longer have the app to stitch these together and didn't think to take a panorama. Images move from north to east.
Went to the tai chi class Tuesday night. The first two sessions there were +/- 15 people. Last night only 5 which really made it a little better I think, either that or the repetition is starting to sink in. Still not remembering everything and didn’t do a damn thing Wednesday morning, tai chi or yoga. There’s no yoga class in El Campo this week during spring break. I should have bet money. Every year Abby says yeah, we will have class, I’m not doing anything and every year before Monday she cancels the class for the week. I’ve been thinking about not attending the Wednesday evening class. My total drive time is about 46 - 48 minutes and as long as the class lasts the 45 minutes originally scheduled way back when I first started going I was ok with the time investment but more often than not, class only lasts about 30 - 35 minutes especially Wednesdays, the least attended class of the week. Anyway, now that I go to this tai chi class on every other Tuesday, that’s 4 evenings in a row that I’m out (including the Thursday evening yoga class at Hesed House). So I was glad there was no class that night and I think I’ll start cutting out the Wednesday night class on tai chi weeks to start.
I wasn’t a complete slug Wednesday. I painted two bookmarks (and one on Tuesday).
I was home from SHARE yesterday (I know but they just have to struggle along without me sometimes). My niece and namesake, Pam’s oldest daughter Denny (Ellen Denise formally), texted Tuesday that she would be in town on Thursday the 26th and she was coming to visit. One of her step-sisters is getting married in Houston and she is coming in a day early to spend time with us. I haven’t seen her since July 2024 when she was here to clean out Pam’s house and the rest of the family came to disperse Pam’s ashes at the beach. So I texted Jan on Wednesday that I wouldn’t be at SHARE the next day because the date completely slipped my mind. I kept thinking she should be here by now and finally looked at her text and oops! They’ll have to struggle along without me for two Thursdays this month. To tell the truth, it’s been nice this week, like I’m on vacation; no yoga, no SHARE.
So instead I ran errands, taking three of the mobiles to the Market and while I was showing them to Stephanie and we were discussing how to display them the woman doing the tai chi classes was there and she bought one on the spot. I wasn’t intending on leaving them but we found a place to hang the other two. The other thing was picking up the basic bookbinding book I ordered through the bookstore here so we’ll see where that takes me. And then I finally put all the sheets, tarps, and plastic bags in their tub and put them away until needed again and swept out the accumulation of leaves that always blow in and rearranged the garage after Mikey moved the cereus outside for me. The garage is now in its spring/summer/fall configuration.
(The formatting is killing me today).
