Today is Sunday, the day that there was an almost total eclipse of the sun!
Viewed mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, the moon blocked the sun's light coming to earth, creating "the ring of fire" appearance.

I challenge anyone here to FIND that event on the news! I viewed it only once, then all sources were crashed, blacked out, or showing 'other' news.

But I enjoyed the event from the internet. It could not be seen from California, I understand. Am I all alone here, I think?

Anyone up at this hour that cannot sleep could get up and not just lie there suffering. Get a drink of water, wash your face, change into some more comfortable clothing, straighten up your bed again, adjust the temperature to cooler at night, take a small dose of tylenol to decrease those pesky pains keeping one awake, brush your hair again...
That is what I will do at 2:00 a.m. on a Saturday night, (The morning being a Sunday in just a few more hours.)

For reasons I won't go into, the radio is playing the sound of a New Forest pony tucking into some hay. The dog is absolutely fascinated - sitting up in his basket with both ears pricked. What the heck?!

Watching a six month old baby roll around like a giant panda bear. She is too cute. Loves grabbing her feet and putting anything and everything into her mouth. And all her owl like looks.

One of my favorite things, which occurs monthly, is leaving the office at the end of day and ... gasp! Seeing the almost full moon up in the clear daylight sky. It is just so beautiful. It never ever fails. I stop walking and stare at the moon. I can only see the moon so clearly from my work. At home, the cliffline blocks it. One more night to see the full moon!

So many of my favourite things involve eating and drinking, like all of that delicious sounding chocolate you all keep mentioning. I wish I could shake my brain like an etch-a-sketch and erase the guilt and regain the ability to indulge in such simple pleasures without worrying about the long term health effects. One is never enough.

My grandmother always liked Fannie May chocolates. Well, either that or those were the stores that were closest. There used to be one just at the corner, not even a block from where I live now, her home for the last 40 years of her life... but it's a pizza place now (which is arguably as good as or better than a candy store since I love their Mediterranean pizza SO STINKIN' MUCH!). When I was driving the other day, I noticed a stand-alone Fannie Mae store somewhere else around here. I didn't know if they were still in business or not. I don't know if I've ever been in a See's. If I see one, I'll make a point to go in and taste the "famous chocolates." :-)

CM,
You are okay! It is not a failure if you or anyone cannot keep up. Lately, it has been harder with the new website changes. With less and less time in between family crises (did I spell that right? plural of crisis = crisises?) , just checking in, saying hello, has been a challenge for me.
There is a sense of comfort when I see you all posting still, and then I don't feel, so bad.

And then I don't feel, so bad."

Favorite things: semi-productive days. I say "semi" because those are the ones that don't wear me out for the next day! I accomplished a few things off my To Do list that are important, and I didn't take on too much. Winning. :-) ((((hugs)))) and semi-productive days to all of you.
