8. No hobbies...I enjoy naps

Feb 2012

This was twice as long, and it still needs editing...

I cook and bake quite abit, read or read about reading (DU); in summer pull weeds, spray plants, plant or prune; feed birds, melt fat to make suet for woodpeckers..I get compulsions to have the family for dinner followed by compulsions to chase them home when I can no longer stand them all together or be kept from my addictions.

MSNBC is always on and Letterman. Cataracts, carpal tunnel in both arms, knee replacement, arthritis - used to sew a lot. Buy a lot of stuff for grown kids and grandkids, babysit grandkids and a beagle whom I love dearly.

No hobbies, just keeping busy so as not to think about why this was or wasn't or whose fault it was, just waiting for the grim reaper so I could throw him a party.

Now aren't you sorry you asked?

(Wonder if World of Warcraft is something I could use, whatever that is, pscot seems so happy compared to me....)
