As is the often the case, my work demands (coupled with life-tasks) leave me little time for reading blogs, let alone writing an entry. I am taking a break from my usual Saturday day long dictations and chart work, hoping to come up with some sort of idea for blogging. Rather than providing me with something substantial upon which to write, The Muses are providing nothing better than a banausic chore list. It is quite a roster of ‘honey-dos’ to tidy up, fix this, and why don’t you take out the garbage. What I would like to do is lie on a floating mattress in the pool. But it looks like it may rain, and I couldn’t stay still knowing there is so much work to be done.
The house is unusually quiet for the TV and the iphones are both turned off, a rare event indeed. I can hear the quiet clicking of the ceiling fan as it whirs around, combined with the soothing tick-tock of Great Aunt Marion’s clock. Harper seems to be having a fitful dream; she makes sudden jerks and tics as she lies in the middle of the bed. She is on her back, all four legs up and out in a rather un-lady like position.
There are no plans for the evening; I suspect I will get the charts done and most of the chores completed. Perhaps I will return to the books I was reading in Alaska. There is always fabric to cut and sew. Canada is only two weeks away, and I can’t go in last year’s Spos, can I? What would Harper (two legged one) say ?

The dog days of summer Dr. Spo. Everything slows down. We’re just slogging through here on the coast of Delaware waiting for the next episode of the Mitt the Twitt Comedy Show that is now touring Europe.

I can hear Earth Wind & Fire with “That’s The Way of the World” and the incessant drone of the fan.

Molly sleeps like that also. Of course I call her a “shameless hussy” when I see her that way. I am afraid my blogging is similar. Just not up to writing and am somewhat depressed. Fall may improbe things. Wish I were going to Canada but with all the dental work I am having done I may not trave for a couple of years.

yeah, as ron said, the dog days of august are here. you step outside the air-conditioned house into a vat full of wet smelly towels (or so it seems). UGH!

Saturdays are for relaxing. I vote for reading your books. Then, a nice dinner and maybe some chocolate for dessert. I can write a prescription for that if you need one…. (not that it would be valid, of course).

I love swimming in the rain. And I’m guessing that you still need it really bad out there. (the rain)

You could have Someone extend the pool inside so you can relax on it when it’s raining outside. 😉
