Had a good swim, delivered the bears, stopped at the library to drop off books and pick up holds, swung by the market to pick up some country ribs which are now in the crock pot crocking away for dinner tonight. So, yeah, my day's gone well so far.
Next I need to:
My online yarn shop is having free shipping this weekend but I think I'm going to hold off yet again. I'm sure they will have another either before or after Christmas and I've got enough yarn to last til then.
I looked at the BigFish games they want me to user test and I really object to all of them (too much extraneous non-game action, very little skill needed, too much LINK TO FACEBOOK FOR WAY MOREW FUN!!!!!!!) so I sent them a note and said no thank you to next week's session.
All this talk about the Martian movie is working on me. But, I still have too much to watch on TV here. And 4 more baseball games plus, I loved the book so much, I'm still remembering how fabulous it was and am not ready to replace that with the movie. Yet. I think January/February - when they release it for streaming, I'll be ready.
Yesterday I bought $10 readers to replace the magnifying glasses that I couldn't find. The minute I sat down at the sewing machine yesterday, those damn magnifiers peeked out from under the little drawer unit - nearly invisible on the dark carpet. So now I'm covered magnification wise... Oh well.
Time to get on the chores.
Next I need to:
- Go down to the car and get my wet suit that I forgot to bring up.
- Take down the garbage on that same trip.
- Fire up iTunes and set the Shuffle to start my book where I left off, not at the beginning again.
- Clean up where Zoey thew up last night.
- Tidy up the kitchen.
- Get back to work on my fleece Crocs socks.

I just posted a kind of snarky entry on Google + and immediately got a highly argumentative comment filled with suppositions I think are ridiculous. His comment really gave me only two choices... I could say nothing which would imply agreement or start a war of words with someone who's values and mores are very different than mine.
I took door #3 and deleted the entry. This scenario is one of the main reasons I'm also not on Facebook and will never be. Life is too fucking short. I do not enjoy arguing for the sake of argument.
I live in a very isolated world. If I were younger and had my life in front of me, I'd work to change that and to ensure I heard from and learned from all kinds of people with very different ideas and values than those I enjoy. I'd work hard to keep an open mind and learn from all around me. But I'm old and cranky and am not interested in making the effort. I try not to hurt any body but otherwise enjoy the fuck out of doing and thinking exactly what I want when I want. Old age has its benes for sure.
