Mundane Sunday
Mundane Sunday
My Tandem insulin pump, wakes me up at 6 A.M., like an alarm clock would, to let me know I am going low. So, like it or not, I am up for the day.
It’s Sunday morning, January 7th.
Like it or not, I drink a glass of juice, then fix a cup of coffee and a piece of toast.
Now. . . it’s Wordle time.
I started doing the word game last January. In the beginning I struggled. Now I’m fairly good. This morning I figured out the five letter word of the day in less than five minutes. My current winning streak is thirty-seven days long and I feel proud.
At my last eye doctor’s visit, hoping to engage him in normal conversation, I asked if he played the game. I expected to chat about fun or finding time to play. But, his response was a dissertation on vowel versus consonant approaches. His take on a mundane pastime was genius, the only one he had, and why he’s a retina surgeon.
According to him, I use a vowel approach. I always use the word years, because it has three vowels. If none are in the word, I attempt to use the remaining vowels, i o or u.
Well, it is time to shower and blow dry my hair. Then I will bake a crumb cake for my grandson.
Yesterday, January 6th is a date I will always remember because. . . it is also my grandson’s birthday.
The day won’t be totally mundane. Dominic, his wife Marcela, and our daughter Janine, will join us for dinner out, then we’ll come home.
I will light a candle on the crumb cake and we will sing Happy Birthday.
P.S. It’s not snowing in Florida, but I wish it were.
. . . just saying

Me too. My friend Lynn took that pic, traveling home from Durango to Albuquerque after Thanksgiving. It was so pretty, I saved it.

We just got dumped on! Over a foot of snow. Lots of plowing and shoveling, even though it’s supposed to turn to rain later today. How nice that you will have family join you for dinner today. What are you preparing?

I’m not. We are going out some place where they can watch the Giants play. But, yes family is nice.

Happy Birthday to Dominic, also the same spelling as my Great-Grandfather Dominic. Italian families spell it correctly…and you can keep your snow wish to yourself 🙂
