I really wanted to write here tonight; knew exactly what I wanted to ponder. But now I am too tired.
It was another bleak day. Dark and scary. The Edge of Night would be a fitting name--borrowed from the afternoon soap opera my grandma Alice used to religiously watch, from her old wood rocking chair in her little garden apartment in Dumont. I watched it with her sometimes; all I remember now is that some old man in a wheelchair--I think he was wearing a cardigan sweater--was living in somebody's basement and they didn't know it.
Edge of Night indeed. Good night.

TCOY
- Nothing too TCOY except ice water. Couldn't even go to yoga b/c Fig had 9 A.M. dr. appt. and H. was flying back from San Francisco.
- Salon blowout.
- Nice long talk with Sis.
- Good tooth care.
- We saw our friends tonight at lovely Toni's Kitchen fundraiser.--for soup kitchen in town. I baked Southern coconut cupcakes and Texas chocolate cupcakes with chocolate sour cream frosting for the event and that felt good. Though there were a couple of BCs [baking casualties]--samples downed in the course of mixing, removing from cupcake tins and frosting. After all, I did have to be sure they tasted good. And they did.

Yay! have been unable to comment all week, but now from a different computer
ReplyDeleteagree the edge of night was an eerie name - never watched it - was too afraid
so impressed that you can can feel down and still cook for others
also love your listing of toothcare - have been meaning forever to try a brightener - actually have it - but one more dang thing at a time I have fallen off my skincare regime. honestly, supermodels don't spend the time i do on maintenance. bah!
but you keep swinging, Alice, you're indomitable
