Sitting on my balcony

 As it snows a few feet away. 


I have spent the day cleaning up the remnants of my project that have kept me busy for the past ten days. I have been looking for an old headboard that could do with some rescuing and a little bit of paint. I just hate the thought of painting over wood. But if it is beyond repair then that's okay. 

I have started reading a book by Mary Ellis called Hiding in plain sight. So far so good. My niece that is a librarian over in Canterbury England recommend it to me. Plus I'm just sitting having a smoke and coffee. Feeling pretty good about myself. I have slept probably eight hours in the past two days living on coffee. That's more than likely the reason I'm not sleeping lol. 

We have have many homeless people in our city since covid and the close of our psych hospital. With a warming center just down the street from my build. One thing I feel safe and grateful about living on the tenth floor. I don't dare go out at dusk. At times I feel like I'm held captive in my own home but that is due to covid as well. I refuse to capitalize the word covid as you can see. I don't want to give any more power than it already has had. 

One more smoke and finish my coffee and I'll go inside and read and fall asleep I hope. I'm in pedal pushers and Birkenstocks right now. Loving it. My homeless man that I have been watching has checked the fence line for treasures and recycling bin is now moving on with his shopping cart. Off to find a place to get out of the weather. I'd love to help I'm a fix-it type of person but sometimes they just don't want to be fixed. How do you decide who to take in and help and who not to? 

Well, that's about it for now I'll end my rambling. God bless and keep safe.
