These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Food Coma Day
Now of course I didn't exactly consume all the food that's pictured. After all, I don't do coffee. But as my extended leave comes to an end, I wanted to do quiet things that I enjoy. And one thing that I love is a leisurely coffee shop breakfast. So I had steak* and eggs and potatoes and wheat toast and oj while concentrating on my book -- The Careful Use of Compliments, a lovely, leisurely (at least so far) contemporary tale set in Scotland, a land I'm unfamiliar with.
Then I went home, vegged out and slept. I woke up, paid some bills, did some laundry. And instead of the burger and fries shown, I had franks* and beans.
With laundry and finances behind me, I think I can devote my entire last day off to quiet happy time.
* My doctor says I gotta have more protein, esp. beef, and fewer carbs, esp. my beloved pasta.
Hooray for such a leisurely day.
