4 miles today in the sunshine, although what I "should have done" was clean my house. Ah well, tomorrow temps are supposed to drop 15F, a much better time for cleaning IMO. I'll probably get the kitchen done this evening anyway, I have a 1# pork roast I'd like to get in the crock pot first thing, and for whatever reason I can't make so much as a bowl of cereal in a dirty kitchen. Training from a young age, I'm guessing. My earliest Christmas memory is getting a play kitchen. My favorite part though was the toy iron and ironing board. There's a picture of me with it in our living room in the California house, and I don't see any boy's toys in the pic, so I'm guessing I was 2. I have disturbingly early memories, like my grandparent's wedding when I was about 18 months, but then I often have trouble with my grandson's name these days. I keep wanting to use my nephew's name instead. Annoying, but not tragic. It's pushing me to write things down. My longest-running friend told me the other day that I invite people to tell me their stories, and I think that I should start writing them down. Maybe those people told other people who wrote them down, but odds are these amazing stories would otherwise be lost. When you use public transportation, especially the longest continuous bus route in the US, you get to hear the best stories. Also I've always said walking is the best way to get to know a place. You see things in finer detail, and from the same level, as opposed to high up behind glass in a car or bus.
I love a good spring evening, and that's what is happening right now. So I'm going to wander out and see if any neighbors are out but not smoking. The downside of this apartment complex is nobody just goes outside to be outside. If they are out there, they are smoking 😞 Maybe I'll take another walk after I rest a bit. Luckily I have a huge window in my living room. Not a great view (parking lot), but it lets in so much natural light it's a decent substitute for hanging out outside.
I hope everybody had a good day, smoke free ❤️
