I've spent my day having a cold, meandering around doing laundry, eating and reading. And then I read one of my grandmother's journals from when she was maybe 16/17, and on the first day I read she was doing the same thing. "I slept late, I had cinnamon toast and hot chocolate for breakfast, I read "St. Michael's Gold"."
"C-" (who she would later marry, my grandfather) figures largely in every entry. He apparently worked for her father in the store at that point, although he was also puttying and painting the windows, and taking her for drives and picnics and long rambling walks. This diary has 14 pages for the entire year - I suspect she was usually too busy to write. Or she pulled all the pages out and burned them because she had no privacy.
My cousin (from that side of the family) is sending me Facebook messages about "Fake News". I'm not even going to engage in this, I do not have the energy, today.
I did not have cinnamon toast and hot chocolate. I fancy I should know how to eat better, being 52, not 16. I had a soup with chicken, rice and spinach, flavored with scriracha and beef bullion, for breakfast, and toast with garlic butter, made with raw garlic. It's supposed to be good for colds. And for lunch, more toast with garlic butter, then zucchnni with garlic butter and soy sauce. And I read "The Tin Woodman of Oz". I need to make a journal entry about the last three Oz books I've read, plus... what was it? damn, I don't recall. See, that's what happens when you don't make your book entries on time.
