i bought a few books on religious science this week,but right now i don't feel like reading that stuff,except for a few pages in florence scovel shinn's book. i think i like her 'new thought' books the best...she's sooo easy to read.
norman vincent peale is easy to read too,but he quotes the bible more than i feel like hearing. still,i've always admired him. i sent his organization money for years and the guideposts magazines are excellent for cathartic crying. i mean no mockery at all in that; i'm totally sincere.
i like sundays these days. i can sleep as late as i want,though i usually don't go too crazy,since i don't like to sleep the entire day away. so i do laundry,go out and do my grocery shopping at the natural food store and then at the supermarket,get my gas tank filled (i'm not fond of pumping my own gas so i go to a service station that has nice people. sometimes they even wash my windshield!) and sometimes go to the library. other than that,i putter around,spending a lot of time goofing off online and sometimes doing some reading as well.
i've been kind of a loner a lot lately. sometimes i'm lonely and sometimes i'm not! i seem to want more and more time alone.
having said that,i'm meeting my sister michele and nephew josh for lunch on monday. i haven't gotten together with her for lunch since before josh was born and he's going to be five this month! yikes. we are meeting at the nursing home where my mother lives,and we'll go visit her first,and then go to lunch. in case it sounds evil that we don't take mom out,it's problematic because she doesn't want to go back and it turns into a scene,so we dont' do it anymore.
anyhoo.
i went to bed last night around 2:30 and woke up around 5 and didn't really fall back to sleep! weird...so i ended up getting up at 8 which is actually good. i'm tired but i'm surprised i'm not more so. maybe it's the half a pan of chocolate brownies i ate at work. so,maybe i'm exaggerating a little,but not much...let's just say i had a few in the course of the evening. i think shirley brought them in and they were exceptionally gooey and chewy...yum.
p.s.
i read an interview with kurt vonnegut in the latest issue of the progressive today. he is such a cool guy,such a thinker. has definitely his own opinions (speaking of which,i read an interview with hunter s. thompson today too...i find him fascinating but i don't really like him because he doesn't seem like a kind person,and k.v. definitely does.)
i've read several of vonnegut's books and i think my favorite is either -breakfast of champions- or -slapstick-,but i like his essays even better.
okay. i am stopping now and preparing to break up my inertia and do my few lunch dishes and brush and floss my teeth. i'm looking forward to crawling into bed soon. i think i might sleep quite well tonight.
