Dec. 16th, 2012
The second (and hopefully last, for a while) happened without incident. I was actually awake when the juice got cut. Very black, very quiet, very eery. But, next time I woke up we were back on.
I usually enjoy listening to the news over National Public Radio on Sunday mornings while I have coffee and get caught up on all things computer. But I am so sick of hearing the same interviews of the same people saying the same things and using the same cliches that I just turned it off this morning. I am sorry that the shooting happened and I think it's tragic but I think the media coverage of it is just horrid and tasteless and thoughtless.
I have been kind of a news junkie all my life. My first job - while I was still in college and then when I got out - was as a newspaper reporter. Our remaining newspaper here in Seattle is not worth the time or effort so I'm stuck with radio and TV which are becoming less and less viable options. They just suck at news reporting. I get far better, more current and interesting local news from the West Seattle blog. Reliable, palatable national and international news is a little more difficult to come by - I'm turning more and more to Google's news page and Yahoo's.
After not listening this morning... I headed out to Mercer Island where I had a lovely breakfast and then hit the grocery store - Albertson's. The wonton strips were not in the produce section. They had soe there but they were the wrong kind. I finally did find them in with the salad dressing. Yeah!! Then I went to Trader Joe's for cinimon rolls and then home. Where I will stay, thankyouverymuch. There are way too many people out today and it's a bit wet and nippy.
Betty is snuggled up next to my leg as I type this. She's really come out of her shell and into herself since Travis died. He was always at the door when I got home and sometimes I would go for a day without even seeing Betty. Now she nearly always comesout to greet me and mostly stays right by my side if not right under my feet. She's such a sweetie. And nice company, too.
The rest of today will be here at home with nothing critical on the agenda. I have a bear to knit. I'm still chewing on Season one of Downton Abbey with Season two yet to go and Season three starting this week, I think. Plus I have a good book going. Just the way it should be.
