This is a fascinating video sent to me by a pal in the UK. If you love the ocean and nature ... wow. If you choose to watch this, use full screen.
The sounds alone ... jeeeez I love the sea. The sounds. The smells. I don't like the sand ... lol ... that's why Big Sur and Highway One appeal to me. I like hearing it and seeing it... the sunsets and rises...
Well? I'm still sitting here but I'm in no hurry. I will leave when I leave. I'm fine. I'm just making sure that what I take and what I leave will leave me feeling peaceful. This is absolutely the first time as I've written before... that I haven't just thrown stuff in Homer and escaped to save my sanity.
Since my sanity has already been compromised ... my mind has had an interesting vacation from stress.... it's been really interesting viewing this home situation with a difference perspective... I'd repost my perspective cat but y'all can go back a post to see him again... he's so cute...
The weather is supposed to be beautiful on my route. It is here today... great temperatures and all the trees and flowers in bloom ... Got a post in the Route 66 group I joined that portions will be closed in a week or so!
Joe's driving me crazy is familiar driving me crazy so it doesn't drive me crazy any longer. I know I'm leaving - he knows I'm leaving - we're good. /blur
I need to go fill the larder again before I leave. He's not fond of going to the supermarket. Plus he'll be walking. We have so many restaurants within a few blocks.... from Waffle House - Dixie Diner - Sonic - to fancy schmancy ones and his favorite watering hole... Town Pump... booze and burgers and catfish... and sports TV ... what more could a man want. He and the kids need to go and get what they want.
It's now 8pm - he's at the Pump ... BIG college basketball game ... it's really very cool that there are so many walk-to places from our house. AND a neighborhood Walmart type store is taking over the old closed Harvest Foods location. Should be finalized by May, I think I read --- walking distance! They can't do a 'real' Walmart in this location - but they will have -- well? it's called a neighborhood Walmart... they're kinda cute... wish it were a Whole Foods though...
Well? It's almost 10:30 ... I had DVRd the Letterman show Monday night because Michelle Obama was on and I just finished watching. what a delightful person. It's on YouTube if anyone is curious. Letterman was absolutely charming with her. Of course, he likes smart and excels when he's in the presence of someone he respects.
Thoroughly enjoyable...
I guess Joe found someone to talk politics with ... he loves that ... drives me insane... not a tricky task... he'll stumble in in a bit ...
Is that the show where she did 25 push-ups? I am so in awe of any woman who can do that and I'm determined to be one of them!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the show but I believe it was Ellen where she did that ... She is very very fit. Her arms are really perfect.
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to do a push up! Like I said.. I did five jumping jacks and about killed myself! ;)
Good morning Carolyn, I watched the video and I'm some glad that I wasn't on board for the ride. It takes special people to be able to remain calm on such rough water.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice hearing that you are calm yourself at this point. I think that knowing that you can just get in and go at any time gives you peace of mind.
We had a ferocious north wind all day yesterday but today it's more of a cool breeze. The sun is still shining. I cleaned several perennial flower beds of dead debris yesterday so the shoots can grow. Have a great day. Hugs. JB
Isn't that something? I was wondering throughout -- who, just who! was taking the video?!
DeleteYes, I think that's it... I know within minutes I can hop in Homer and go... that's nice. It is an absolutely gorgeous morning. I made a list of things I want to do before leaving.
Number one is go to Kroger and fill the larder... I would like to go Whole Foods one more time - I'm out of a few supplemens I like to take.
THEN ... after the Morning Show I like to watch on Sunday mornings with Charles Osgood ... I'm going to head out which would be around 10am...
Anyway.. them's m'plans... Haaaa.... ain't it grand to have options --- freedom - my one true passion... well, and my son ;) and well, pie.
I am the same way when I am leaving on a trip ,never have a set time to go. I am in TN now getting ready to go back to FL today.I just fool around till the mood hits me ,OH must be time to go then ,I throw everything in my van. lol What type of cot did you buy for your van?Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteAh.. Tennessee is having a bit of weather, isn't it? I think our mess was heading east...
DeleteThe cot is one I've had before. I bought it when I first started traveling in Homer but it's narrow and since I'm a wide kid.. I wanted that wonderful air bed/mattress I bought for my last excursion. It is sooo comfortable but since I'm going to be gone for who knows how long... I really needed the storage underneath...
So... I've put a couple of thick comforters for padding over and above its mattress. It's a Coleman - a really nice one. Its mattress is about 2 inches but the comforters add a bit more width.
Well, good luck to you too!
Isn't it funny how we're so anxious to leave, then the good weather strikes & we want to enjoy it instead! I didn't know there was a route 66 group. Good to know! I'd like to do that route one day.
ReplyDeletePretty funny! :) It is absolutely stellar today!
