Floyd Craig has given me an award. As I am not familiar with his blog, I have checked it out today and there was much there to read and learn. I enjoyed my time there. I particularly loved in his profile under occupation, he has written, retired not retarded. That made me laugh. I hope it hasn’t been inspired by disrespect.
It was a really pleasant surprise.
He’s back. It’s a good thing. The house was too empty. I never thought I would feel like that. I have always appreciated my solitude, but I was delighted to have him home early.
Tonight the friends are all here upstairs watching movies and it feels like back to normal. A new kid (NK) came along tonight.
Son: Mum this is …..
NK: She already knows me.
Me: I do?
NK: Of course you do
Son: Were you in her class?
NK: No, but everyone knows me, ha ha.
How awkward. I don’t recall her. It’s often the case that every kid in the school knows you and somehow expects you to know them. There are over 600 kids on our campus. Impossible! I don’t think she realised I had no idea who she was. Phew!
The most interesting thing about this film for me was watching Lauren Graham in a different role. I have been watching ‘The Gilmour Girls’ this year on DVD. I love the series and especially Lorelai’s character. So to see a different character, who wasn’t as strong and spunky as Lorelai, was kind of freaky.
‘Evan Almighty’ was ok, there were a couple of laughs but I could have waited to see it on DVD. I must restore my weekly excursions to the cinema to see movies I want to see. I haven’t felt compelled to see anything for a while though. Or doing anything much for that matter. All this must change!
My excursion with my adorable neice and nephew today was a great start. They were so fun and grateful, it was an absolute pleasure and the perfect antidote to the misery I’ve been wallowing in lately. I really need to remember this experience and be more proactive at doing different things to snap out of these funks I find myself in from time to time.
