From Dawn to Dusk... the journal |
Tuesday, April 16, 2002 * new wood blinds... Today they installed the new wood blinds in our Master Bedroom. We've had the old mini-blinds in those windows for 16 years. They still worked fine, but got so I couldn't stand the sight of them. The wood ones are 2-21/2 inches wide and are eggshell colored to match the doors, door frames, etc. Since we took down the mini-blinds and the curtains (thank god for electric screwdrivers!) in favor of the wood blinds, it gives the room a 'different' look.... cleaner, more open. It'll take a little getting use to. BTW, yesterday afternoon I planted sweet basil, African basil, chicory, and romaine lettuce in my herb garden. Also bought some corn and cucumbers to put elsewhere. I've never planted corn before - so just wanted to see how it would do. Before planting I mixed in some 'earth worm castings' to give the garden a little boost. Now I need to look for my packet of organic mixed lettuce seeds that I bought - and can't find. For some reason I'm getting awfully sleepy and it's only 2:00pm. I slept OK last night - but did wake up with a strange headache over my right eye... and was a little nauseous. Fearing the beginning of a Migraine, I made myself eat something (cream of wheat) and then took an extra strength Tylenol. Sometimes this will take care of it. I also did my old Yoga stretching routine to get the kinks out of my back and neck. It took most of the morning to go away... but finally did. The remnants are still clinging to my head, but just barely. I want/need to go do my 3-5 mile walk... but maybe I should have a bit of a lie down first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, I did lie down, crawled on my bed with Thibbadeaux and promptly fell asleep until almost 4... No walking today. But maybe my old bones needed sleep more than walking today. Have to listen to it occasionally. Have a good night! Rian |
