Mysterious Ways

 Well top o’ the morning, dear reader(s), Lily whined me awake around 6:00 a.m. this morning, which is good I guess, so I could compile my grocery shopping list for the next few days. We’ve got St. Paddy’s tomorrow, then Red Flannel Hash for Saturday morning, followed by Chicken Teriyaki Tacos and Green Goddess Chicken (not necessarily in that order). I think I’m going to wind my way over to the Grandview Giant Eagle this time, taking a break from Kroger (who gets enough of our money anyways). Honestly I prefer Giant, it’s just so far away from our house. But I’ll be coming back from Fetter’s office, so it’s easy to stop in, which is good.

Here comes the sunrise, I do so like watching this now. My thoughts are a little cloudy this morning, perhaps I need a little tango with YouTube to get the creative juices flowing? Pandora is getting a little stale, I know the jazz playlist almost by heart. I want to venture down new roads, for instance what’s going on with the strip malls in Grandview—who’s working for who, who’s architecting what honesty for all the mallrats to see? As for me, I was blind but now I see, thanks to an adjustment to my meds, a hand up from YouTube, and my own mysterious, curious nature. Maybe we give props to Kroger, that place shows me new things every time I’m there, slowly wandering down the aisles. Hat tip to the shelf stockers, whoever they may be.

So after my therapy and grocery store foray, I need to get ready for a dinner out with mom, Tracey and Carol. I think I may wear my fedora out tonight, I know it’s a touch dramatic (maybe too much?) but I’m in a whimsical mood right now. Central Ohio can get a little boring so you have to make up your own fun. Maybe it’s time to search out new hats on Amazon? Heck, Michael is already ordering shorts and flip flops from Nike and it’s still winter here! He wants me to wear my new silver tennis shoes and white Nike sweatpants out today—I’m suddenly shy about sporting such a “look” but hey, I’ve got the stuff, so why not try it out.

OK, so I’ve got a straw hat now ordered from Amazon (due tomorrow!) so I’m gearing up for summer too. Mom got me a summer hat too, so now I have two new hats to sport around the neighborhood. Dear Jules, she is trying to get me exercising again, perhaps I’ll get motivated to get to the Gahanna Y some day? I’m dragging my feet because I cannot drive highways anymore, but also I know a water exercise group will be starting up in mom’s pool this summer. Exercising, eating well, is all that for me….who wants to live forever? Cue up Queen’s “It’s A Kind Of Magic.” A favorite album, to be sure. 

Onward I go with my day. See you on the flip side. Ciao.
