I have no idea what I'm doing here...will have to spend some time getting to know it. I'll just bumble around until I figure it out. That didn't sound right..... I know why I'm here.....I don't want to lose contact w/the people I've grown to care about. But I don't know how to maneuver around here but I'll learn.
How am I supposed to find my old friends?? How will they find me? Wanted to change my diary name because I'm not her anymore...but if I did that, no one would find me, for sure. So I'll stay ME for awhile......but she's really moved on.
It was cold and rainy these last couple days....and I'm loving it. I know most of the country is miserably cold and I send my sympathy. But you only really know what you know......and it's been dry, hot and not at all Winter here in So Cal, dammit. I have some beautiful sweaters to wear. I want to think Winter, w/a fire in the fire place, I want snuggly stuff, cozy stuff, cold-weather food. Living in the foothills here, I don't want to worry about wildfires in January and I had to do that a couple weeks ago.....it's bad enough in the summer and fall. All of us up here worry but it's so worth it to be up here.
So it's been hot and I'm been grumpy. Then I get to hear the media, the politicians talk about the worst drought in history.....so I looked it up. No, it's not but it is very dry and California is low in water. Hello??? We've built on what is essentially a desert. Try planning on a regular occurrence. Oops, need to stop or I'll start pontificating about politicians, media, people in general, etc. which I sincerely think is something that happens to us as we age. Probably have seen too much in life.
My daughter told me today that OD was shutting down and everyone was writing goodbye entries. I went there....left some notes w/favorites and more still to read. But I don't feel a desire to say goodbye. I'll be here now, hopefully more often, like in the old days. It would be really nice if this place is more responsive......I got very tired of just watching that little circle go round and round while waiting for www.opendiary.com to respond. And I realize it wasn't a big operation for the owners and didn't bring in any $$ so sometimes these things fall to the wayside.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this as a way to prompt me to visit more. For quite awhile, I was seduced into going to other flashy websites, YouTube, researching any and everything, esp. history and biographies. But most have lost their appeal recently. Am not as much into those Real Housewives like I was once so no need to read everything and anything about their goings on.
I think I am essentially just babbling on here. Seems like lately, babbling has become more of an issue w/me. Probably that same bugaboo: old age. But, you know what? I don't care. And that's the good thing about that very thing. :)
