Seriously, that's all I want at this stage of my existence. I want to distance myself from drama and chaos and I don't want to be a factor of either. I could live alone in a room with windows, a fridge, TV, my Kindle, and a toilet! That sounds a lot like a nursing home room (sans the fridge.) I don't want a roommate! I prefer to smell my own excrement! I could live in my little cottage behind the house and be quite content. Of course, if I no longer know my name...or yours, I may need someone to randomly check on me, take out the garbage and replenish my supply of toilet paper. I'm hoping I'll be friendly when you pop in and not throw a can of Vienna sausages at you or shoot you with my Nerf gun. A real gun would be as useless as the letter "H" in yeah! I'm a horrible shot and even at short distances have been known to have squirrels on a feeder in stitches.
Until the time that this scenario becomes a reality, I am content reading, planning for the next holiday or birthday, watching mindless television and laughing with friends wherever we go. I enjoy my grandkids and I hope I contribute, even minutely, to their knowledge and well-being! I do enjoy my own schedule but generally, adapt to things changing... as long as it doesn't interrupt my football! On Sundays at noon...don't call or stop in...just plain don't do it! If you're having a party or gathering that you would enjoy me attending, do it on a Saturday. I'm flexible for college ball!
Soon it will be fall and my favorite time of the year will be upon us. Most folks like spring with all things being re-born....nope not me.. I'm the crotchety old lady that enjoys the crumpling leaves and the colors associated, welcomes the chillier weather and wraps her Christmas presents in September. I like the peace of kids back in school and the quiet of living at EIEIO. I really don't ask for much!
