Today at large...

How I spent today? Such a sunny and relatively warm day for March and yet did I enjoy it? No! Other than short walks from my car to my destinations; no! So, what was so important I could waste this weather. Doing mundane tasks is the answer. Like most of you, there are jots on my calendar letting me know what must be done each day. A good day is when there is nothing jotted down in the middle of the day. However, today, I drove to my doctor's office to get a needed shot in my knee. One hour duration plus another forty-five minutes total drive time. No problem with the drive time because I listened to part of an audio book. Sadly, I have to wait for the other nine hours to be split for other drives. Then, Lordy, I spent almost two hours at AAA for filling requirements for the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles for a new Real ID License. Fortunately I had all required documents. Still the time was almost lost; saved by a very nice woman who shared our time together. I do love to meet people and best when there is no need to be formal. I enjoyed my time conversing with her about nothing spectacular but letting me see another good person living her daily life well and with patience. By the time I reached home, I was decidedly hungry. It was almost four o'clock. Thank goodness, earlier in the day I clocked two hours writing. Now, I will relax and start a novel. When I'm tired, I read. If the read is interesting I awaken; if not, I fall asleep. Both avenues look good to me now.
