so long
As much as I hate to think about it, the summer is slipping by much too quickly. As summers go, I must say I’ve had better. We didn’t go on a vacation this year. We did a few things around the house- but didn’t accomplish as much as I would have liked. We had a lovely visit with our daughter and her family, but other than that- not much to write about.
As is my custom, I brought home a satchel full of junior novels from my elementary library to read over the summer, and so far I’ve read exactly one of them. I was going to see how much weight I could lose over the summer but that’s not going too well either. So far the biggest step I’ve taken in that undertaking is to purchase a Wii and fitness games yesterday. Hopefully that will motivate me to get started. I’ve been spending way too much time in this chair watching t.v. and piddling on the laptop.
Our singing group has made some progress learning some new songs this summer, but our recent performance at the church was a huge disappointment since the audience couldn’t hear us and, consequently, continued talking the whole time we were singing. To make things worse, another – better singing group will be performing at our church this week, no doubt putting us to shame. The tension was obvious at our practice today as we had some trouble agreeing on the line-up of songs for our next performance in a couple of weeks. I’m not sure if our tenor is speaking to me or not.
I’ve made many new friends on facebook and have really been enjoying chatting with them. The longer I’m on it, the more I enjoy connecting with people. But nothing will replace the apparent loss of a dear friend who seems to no longer want to have anything to do with me. I think that’s been the real reason I’ve been so down lately. I just don’t understand it and it makes me sad. If you suddenly decide you don’t want to be friends with a person anymore, at least have the decency to tell them why. Anyway, he was the only one who ever read these posts anyway and so there doesn’t seem to be much point in continuing this blog. I guess this will turn out to be one of those depressing posts I tend to write late at night when I’m tired but don’t want to go to bed and then tomorrow or the next day I will probably delete it before it causes somebody to want to stick their head in the oven. I’m usually not like this. Where’s the Midol when you need it?
Anyway – I’ve enjoyed having this blog and I may start it back up one of these days, but for right now it just makes me too sad. So I bid you adieu.
