1. Heavy and strange are my thoughts today, Obi Wan. Or is that Gandalf?
2. Spring here was rather dull; we had a cold snap that took out most of the flowering trees and they went straight to leaf status. However, the greenery is a relief over the starkness of winter.
3. Trying to figure out the rest of my life means trouble for my brain. It makes headaches happen.
4. I am old enough to be retired but I don't want to be retired. My doctor says I should not work.
5. The bird feeder needs to be refilled. It will probably be the last time we fill it as we generally don't feed the animals during the summer.
6. I am going today to have a mammogram. Make sure to get those tits looked at, ladies!
7. While I write this, I am listening to a friend complain about her job. Jobs are weird.
8. There's a cardinal at the feeder, so there still must be a little seed there.
9. I need to remove a lot of books from my shelves. I don't know where to donate them since the library stopped taking them.
10. Sometimes it is really hard to come up with thirteen things.
11. I need a new job skill set. Why couldn't I have studied engineering?
12. Or maybe I could have been a computer tech.
13. I am tired of adulting.

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while, and this is my 754th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday. Or so sayth the Blogger counter, anyway.
We have rose-breasted grosbeaks in the yard now. I can't get anything done but stalk them for photos! I'm always trying to find that balance of do nothing with something.
ReplyDeleteWe're just entering spring-there's a faint greening to the trees. And I heartily agree with #13.
ReplyDeleteI actually wrote “retired” on my tax forms this year. It felt weird. For me, retired just means not having to scrounge around for a paying job. I’m thnakful for that. It took me awhile to come up with 13 today.
ReplyDeletePerhaps there's a way not to retire that would be retiring. Something you can do that would be fun. I have no idea what that would be, but I expect that something like that must exist.
ReplyDeleteI had my mamo in the fall. I have to have them once a year because my aunt had breast cancer. Do you have a used bookstore in your town? It sure is hard to get rid of books.
ReplyDeleteI've peered into my future. I don't think I'll lose my cognitive skills. But I'm afraid I'm looking forward to dentures and chronic gut trouble. Good times!
