Thursday I will fly home for a Christmas visit. When I return, I will be a local hire. While I look forward to again living in a house with a real kitchen and a yard in which to sit, I am a bit blue. I've been comfortable in this little room with its green and gold striped couch, serviceable coffee table, matched night stands and desk. The pale yellow walls, hunter green carpet, mirrored closet door. The curious placement of the room in the building whereby the double window lets in much light but little breeze. When I check out Thursday morning, I will have been in this particular room nine months complete.
Change is good for me. I need it so that I don't stagnate and bore myself. I am going to try and live a real life here - no more being a blob. I will cancel my membership at the gym and will instead walk; the neighborhood into which I am moving is walker friendly. I will not have a television and hope to cure myself of my addiction to the Food Network.
Speaking of Food Network, I am in love with Nigella Lawson. I have scanned her cook books at the book stoore, but never thought more about her. Until this week. She's charming.
That sinus infection kicked my ass. I didn't give my body enough rest and last Sunday night was miserable. I've been taking it easy this week and going to bed early. Finally, this morning I woke up feeling that I might be almost well. I think tomorrow will bring a feeling of wellness. It will be another too-warm day, so I think I'll walk to the park and enjoy some sunshine.
I'm done for now. I need to make some phone calls and knit on a scarf. At seven I'm going to watch LotR-Return of the King on TNT. I don't know why, but this sounds like exactly what I want to do. Boring... yes, but tonight it's okay. LotR makes it okay.
