Sunday papers

[susandennis]

Bonny always offers me her newspapers when she is out of town. I recently found out that the truth is her subscriptions are tied to a phone number she no longer has and making any changes promises to be a herculean task so... me. Which is fine. She gets the Seattle Times and the Wall Street Journal. I actually enjoy the Wall Street Journal. Last year I almost thought I'd get a subscription myself - digital, of course - but never did. Now we're back. The Sunday Seattle Times is no longer even a shadow of its former self but at least now I know I'm not missing anything. And the trash room is right next door.

I hemmed pants yesterday. Hemming black pants is not as much fun as you might imagine. I only got four pair done. There are so many more to do. If I were smart, I'd wear and then wash the ones I have done and once I'm sure they are fine, continue on. I think I'll do just that but I'm not going to put away my supplies. I'll leave them out as incentive to pick up the project once the proof is in.

Coming back from the pool this morning, there was a team of first responders coming in with a gurney. The had come in the wrong entrance and one of the residents had led them to the correct elevator. That resident is a man I know. Even knowing he has absolutely ZERO sense of humor, I conversationally as we were walking down the hall "This place is really hard to navigate when you've never been here." "It sure is AND they even had the wrong date on the brunch menu this morning." Yeah, life saving first responder misdirection and an incorrect date on a menu - equal horrors fer sure. (Sunday is the ONLY day they serve brunch so even the big clues aren't enough for him, I guess.)

Oh, there goes my friend, Maggie, out with her great granddaughter and her dogs. Maggie is very able bodied (her husband has Parkinsons) and lithe. Today she's got on very attractive slim jeans and boots. It is hard to wrap my head around a Great Grandmother is slim jeans and boots, but there she is. Neither one of my grandmothers ever even wore pants in public. I mean what if someone saw them????

Major League Baseball starts on Thursday. So this will be the last Sunday til Fall with no baseball game.

I have good TV to watch today and knitting to do and there is a puzzle going in the elbow. So my day is set. Guess I'll get it started.

So, re the papers, our local library has online resources for people with library cards that include papers when you dig down through their site. Might be worth checking yours if you haven't. I get digital access to the New York Times whenever I want it...for three days, and then I have to click through again, so I really only do it when I see an article there I want to read. Still, it's an option.
