Isn't that the funkiest cup holder that you've ever seen? It sure would save the wood table from any slips and spills...as long as it was strong enough to support the drink you put in it!
I've been feeling rather quiet and withdrawn this weekend. I wonder how Sharron's move went yesterday? I hope everything got from point A to point B without any upsets. I so hate moving! They may have to use dynamite to get me out of here. I was looking at what they call "Tiny Houses" on the internet and pondering the possibility of downsizing...nah, who am I kidding? I can't seem to get organized in 2550 square feet, how would I manage 500?
A part of me wants quiet time in a big way. The thought of sitting around a patio fire pit on a nice warm evening appeals to me BUT we don't live in the desert, I hate the mosquitoes and we have a dampness in the evening air that speaks of the approaching autumn. I guess I'll just wait until we are back in Palm Springs. There's a lovely fire pit at the Westin Mission Hills bar on the hotel side. Maybe we'll go over and have a drink.
It sure is nice having Larry home for the long weekend!. I was in such poor shape earlier this year that I really needed to be alone. I must be coming back to the land of the living though because now I really enjoy our time together and have emotionally thawed enough that I can miss him when he's at work. I am still not strong enough to be with people, even Larry, all day every day yet. I guess I am still "under construction".
The fact that hanging out in a hotel without any company for 4 1/2 days still really appeals to me just screams that I still have more healing to be done. Maybe Sharron & Mae weren't so far off in their estimates... that it would take a couple of years to recover & get myself back on track.
I don't know if there's ever going to come a time when I don't need my "alone time" though. I used to love my driving trip to Castlegar, once a year, to get my borscht. When I was younger, I loved to go to Destin alone...walk on the beach, eat seafood and just have quiet time sitting on the patio and reading a book. Once I get back on my healthy eating program, I may change where I drive because (a) Lucille may not be there to visit next year and (b) the Doukhobour borscht isn't exactly health supporting with all that butter and heavy cream.
I could handle taking myself to Ocean Shores, WA instead. I would rather enjoy some quiet time by the ocean & my walks on the beach. I'd stop in Olympia on my way thru and stock up my cooler and pick up some water so that I could make most of my own meals. Let's be honest though, I would HAVE TO go to the Best Western at least once for an order of their crab cakes. There's a Ramada in Ocean Shores, maybe I will check it and stay there the next time that I go.
