Happy Easter!

Well hello there dear reader(s), Happy Easter to you, Christ the Lord has risen today. After getting over a sneezing fit this morning, I feel refreshed and ready to watch the St. Joseph’s Cathedral Easter service on TV at 10:30 a.m. No, I’m not Catholic but I do love that church. I’m listening to Handel’s “Messiah” right now (is this for Christmas or Easter? Oh, who cares!) and it’s lovely. I just put another shot of Flonase up my nose—does this stuff really work, I’m not sure. I still have some congestion, and my eyes are watering here on Day 12 of Covid and it’s driving me nuts. I wish it would just clear up, but mom told me it took about 3 weeks for her congestion to finally go away. Great.

Well the family gathering yesterday went very well. We stayed for 4 hours, ate a lot of food, Michael got his hair braided, great niece Parker did an entertaining skit, the kids got a jelly bean trail and Easter baskets filled with presents and chocolate. There was no golf to watch on TV as the Master’s Tournament got rained out for the day. I ate so much I barely had an appetite for dinner, necessitating Michael make a run to Kroger for a frozen pizza which he got for $5.99. I’m not planning my usual ham dinner tonight, too tired for all that. I’m just going to cook some steaks and heat the cheesy tomato rice leftovers up and boil some green beans. Easy does it today, I’m still recovering.

I still feel a tad muddled, writing is not as easy, which frustrates me. I want to be done with this Covid crap, I’ve had enough of it. I guess I should get dressed, maybe make a run to Starbucks for some passion tea, then do the afternoon shift for Lily’s walk. I’m not feeling particularly motivated though, argh, is the Risperdal rearing it’s ugly head again, or is this the Covid making me feel lethargic and lazy? Maybe I might work on “My Mother, Myself” today, that could be interesting…I left some intriguing things up in the third floor on my work table when I was last doing art, scraps of paper containing ramblings and mathematical calculations? What was that about? Sheesh. Glad I’m a little more centered and focused this time around.

They’ve announced the community yard sale is May 20th this year. So I’ve got about five weeks to finish assembling anything new I want to present for my art show. I’m vacillating between showing nothing versus hauling out everything I can possibly locate here onto the porch and in the yard and just letting people wander around here. I guess I’m shy and worried people will think me extremely odd, but hey, does it really matter? I’m just looking to earn some money for my steak dinner (winkedy, wink). 

OK, I’m gonna get dressed, head out for my tea, enjoy this sunshine today. Christ has risen, my sneezing is over, take joy in that. See you as I trudge my happy road of destiny. Adios!
