Above the line, a “message” prepared several days ago. Truth be told, I prepared and scheduled eighteen messages in the last few days (no climbing the family tree). I found it challenging–and enjoyable. This Monday morning I planned to tackle the clutter in my home (stuff I brought in from the storage unit). I was watching NBC Today show when “depression” hit me like a ton of bricks. Huddled under my Slanket, relaxing in my easy chair, I started crying. It’s 10:15 AM–three hours after the images of “body bags” in New York City hospitals. (You know the news reports; I don’t have to repeat them.) To “feel better” I searched for clip art to illustrate “a ton of bricks.” Maybe the computer is my only comfort? Maybe I need to shift my attention from “clutter” to “computer”? Time to “climb the family tree”??

So many tragic stories on the Today show. I’m crying! To watch or not to watch, that is the question.

I’m impressed that My Patriot Supply is reaching out to former customers. I will definitely follow their suggestions for meal preparation. I haven’t gone grocery shopping and recognize that it would be wise to use the food items I have available.

…but Lorraine has a new name.

“The old lady”  has three sons; she’s a “ma”; she’s a “Yaki-ma.”
