New Years


Dear Live Journal, it has been awhile.

Busy doing RL.

Anyway, this morning of the new year I went to Barton Springs at 10AM to swim and enjoy the annual potluck brunch. The 50º air temp made the water seem warmer than it does in the summer. I brought OJ and some kind to russian pastry from CM.

Then off to Magnolia for some home fries and to buy two new caledars.

After that walked 5.8 miles around Lady Bird Lake from MoPac to Lamar and circled back to Lamar.

Then home to sit in the sun and read.

School will be starting up soon, time to go back to the office tomorrow after painting studio morning and then over to Gregory pool that has been closed since Christmas.

Missing Autumn
Wednesday was hot, high 80's
Turkey Day was cold
Friday I put up 50 xmas lights around front door
Today it is near freezing, raining with possible snow in the hill country west of here.
We missed a season, no fall except for falling leaves. Now it is winter cold, wet, dark.

I've been able to paint, bundled up in cold studio, for the last three days. DS came over tonight and honestly told me my painting was boring and he is correct. Good to have a second set of eyes. I have tomorrow to push it forward. We'll see.

Cracking almonds and crackling fire tonight.

Put out cat carrier and sheet for outdoor cat ojn side porch.

Two outdoor potted plants ok for now, no freeze called for in the next couple days.
No swimming, school pool closed. Barton no sun, wind and air too cold. Monday will swim at sschool no matter the air temp.

Two last weeks of class left, then a lot more time.

Temp drop here in A Town. It may even become fall weather.

Wispy high cirrus clouds above as I back stroked this morning.

good
I forgot to mentioned a idiot backed up into my truck while doing a stupid traffic maneuver monday. Had to drive after them, honking horn and blocking them in. Yelled IDIOT. No damage but stupid.

Go news on radiology heart wellness report. No plaque build up, excellent.

This week is crazy busy, no studio time until Sunday.

Thanksgiving next week will give me five days in a row for painting and reading.

After that there is four more class days before winter break. I need a break!

I've been absent, I know. Busy is my excuse, it's been a hectic semester and even studio time has been cut back.

But today:

When and sat in a future like tunnel to have wellness pictures taken of my heart paths in and out. A once in every five years my doctor has me doing.

Had coffee and then lunch with an interesting new friend.

Went to my office and deleted email.

Went swimming and wore out another pair of trunks. Bought another, it seems an every semester purchase caused by the chlorine on the school outdoor pool. What is that doing to my skin. Had a yearly physical a short while ago and all things look go.

Bought a new toaster for the one that hit the dust this morning. Have you ever tried to heat an english muffin in a microwave? Hot but gooie chewiness.

Home to read a couple more chapters of Guns, Germs and Steel before the far too early sun went down.

***Tumblin’ Dice***

Women think I’m tasty, but they’re always tryin’ to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down,
But baby, baby, I don’t need no jewels in my crown.

’cause all you women is low down gamblers,
Cheatin’ like I don’t know how,
But baby, baby, there’s fever in the funk house now.
This low down bitchin’ got my poor feet a itchin’,
You know you know the duece is still wild.

Baby, I can’t stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumblin’ dice.

Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,
Don’t you see the time flashin’ by.
Honey, got no money,
I’m all sixes and sevens and nines.
Say now, baby, I’m the rank outsider,
You can be my partner in crime.

But baby, I can’t stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin’,
Roll me and call me the tumblin’ dice.

Oh, my, my, my, I’m the lone crap shooter,
Playin’ the field ev’ry night.

Baby, can’t stay,
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin’ dice, (call me the tumblin’)
Got to roll me, got to roll me, got to roll me (oh yeah)
Got to roll me. got to roll me, got to roll me ( keep on rolling, keep on rolling)
