"My mother was right about eating being a waste of time."

When you consider that, 24 hours later, even the finest food you've eaten is of interest only to dung beetles, I'd have to agree with her.

On the other hand, I think sleep is a waste of time too.

So how do I spend my time? Well, I read a lot; so much so that I have words oozing out of me at times.

Reading is never a waste of time. I’m also fond of sleeping, because otherwise you drive your van into a tree.

I just mopped the floors while listening to Jay Nordlinger talk to Dana Perino about her new book, which is about her dog. It was amusing, and now the floors are clean, but as soon as the people get home from the gym or Tom comes downstairs, it will all have been for nothing, I fear.

I find it easier to do with less sleep than with less food.

So far, I have not driven any vehicles into trees. Other vehicles perhaps, but that was not due to a lack of sleep.

I have learned that I can do without food, or without sleep, but not without both. However, at my current phase of life, bad things happen when I don’t eat.

At your current phase of life, you should be supplementing your diet with vitamins and beneficial herbs.

They are less expensive than medicines, and it is easier to retain your health than it is to regain your health.

And DP too.

We take many vitamins and some herbs. Like kelp and chlorophyll. Neither of us uses any medicines except an occasional painkiller or antihistamine.

Good morning. Kittens aren’t much help when it comes to real mice.

I don’t know where to jump in with a post this morning, since I could reply to all of them, or I could have just stood in bed.

Food is over-rated. I know because I cook for myself when I have something to cook, and most of the time, I don’t like it after I cook it. So I seldom cook. Of course, lately, I’ve been staying with yogurt, instant breakfast and rice pudding, mostly to try and keep the weight off.

But I have to eat less of something. The weight is staying put. Of course, walking through Walmart every other day would be good, if I did it fast, but who has the money to go there all the time?

My Walmart doesn’t make you pay just to walk around ;-).

Good morning. I’m trying to get the epople out to the gym at the earliest possible time. I have threatened them with lentils for supper if they fail to move it move it.

Mine doesn’t either, but I’d at least like to snag a pear on my way to the check stand...*snorf*

Vlad and I will enjoy the lentils. Tom will be told he can’t eat the frozen pizza and will be threatened with loss of Internet.

I’m going to build a book box and hope it will hold the pictures in frames that I have stacked up. I have a larger box that I will use for the awards and such, and the paintings will have to ride in the tracker with me. Just in case!

If I can get one banker’s box packed in addition to the pictures, I will consider it progress. And I’m good with that. Maybe tomorrow, I can pack another storage tub. Maybe.

The girl who was going to take the recliner on the patio, had forgotten all about it, so I reminded her and she said she will get it today. I hope she does. I told her I needed the space for storage. The only place I could put it where it was out of the weather was close to the outside bedroom wall, and that’s where I want to store the stuff I’ve packed.

I can’t recall when the last time was that I had lentils, but I do know I wasn’t too impressed with them. I might like them better in soup. Is there a lentil soup? I like barley soup. But I’m kinda weird. ;o]

(I just thought I’d see if this little thing worked...)

(It sorta does.)
