I woke feeling quite chipper, did two
loads of clothes, went grocery shopping, came home, and sat for a while before
putting away the groceries because I no longer had much energy. After eating a
snack I felt better.
Did I mention that I hung the clothes
out? The prediction was to get to 41 degrees F. Seemed to me that would be good
to dry clothes especially the sheets. However, it was not that warm and felt
quite damp so I brought everything in. I was tired once more.
I spent some time reading The Constellation
of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra. I so appreciated the writing and phraseology,
but the subject was hard. It was about the wars in Chechnya. It ended in 2004
when we lived in Slovakia. I knew things were not good, but not as bad as they
were portrayed in this book. This gave it a more human form. There was also
something written about the sex trafficking. I remember reading about that when
in Slovakia because they seemed to prey on girls from Eastern Europe. I had not
been to that part of the world, but it still felt close. I am astonished that
so much terrible seems to happen in my back yard and I just do not know about
it until later.
Tomorrow I will go to work for the
entire day, or at least the seven hours that the library is open. In the evening
we have a symphony concert. I will not push myself too much. Supper will be
done by the crock pot and Leroy. So I can relax about that. Saturdays are not
so busy sometimes at the library. I am hoping tomorrow will be one of those
days.
