This, that and the other thing

I have a small book designed for recording a sentence a day. However, I often find at the end of the day, I pick up my pen and wonder, “What did I do today?”

Looking at the blog title, I realize it sounds more like the title of a mystery, the type where unbeknownst to you an unknown someone is watching you, sending you anonymous emails or texts, and you have no idea who or why. (Or do you?) I did just finish the recent Harlan Coben book, Hold Tight, which had some of this type of thing, but trust me, if anyone in that book had to write down what s/he did that day, it would have been memorable, although maybe not be something s/he would want to trust to paper.

Anyway..today. I slept in. It was almost six when I woke from a solid night’s sleep. Shower, devotions, Norwegian lessons on Duolingo (and I thought French had too many unused letters), breakfast, husband off for his targeted radiation (two weeks left after today, Friday), then off to Costco to return several items and buy some necessities. (As I’m writing this on Thursday to go live Friday morning, the title should probably be “What did you do yesterday.”) Ahh, well.

Started a pot of split pea soup with the meaty ham hock from our Christmas ham and, since it takes about 4 hours all told, I had time to begin getting rid of some of the over 450 open tabs on my iPhone. Don’t judge!! Lots are recipes, which I should just delete, as they’ve been sitting there for who knows how long. But when I see the title, each one looks appealing, so there they sit. I went instead for lower-hanging fruit: recording restaurants we might like to try, as well as locations in Arizona and Wyoming that we might want to visit, then deleting the pages. I’m now down to almost 350, although still wondering about the recipes and without enough room to download the latest software update, which I should have for security reasons. That’s going to take moving photos off my phone. I have over…well, I’ll just say too many. No need to give away all my disorganization secrets.

Worked on putting out some pieces for our next puzzle, enjoyed much-appreciated rain, finished the soup, read that new Coban book, heated up soup for dinner, and got ready for a marriage workshop at church tonight. Now I’m asking you, “What did you do today?”
