Snowy Sunday

It is a lovely snowy Sunday here in Geneva NY. I had another slow start to the day. Yippee?

I did not get to sleep in a timely fashion last night. Lots of thoughts about the accident. I figure it will take me at least a week to stop having these accident flashbacks.

For some reason, my cell phone being in the house isn’t enough to make my Nest thermostat know that I am here. So it keeps on putting the house in “Eco” mode – which means letting the temp inside fall to 60. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Except I want to be up and about and downstairs. At least briefly. And I would like to do some yoga – and it just feels better doing that when it is warm.

No exciting plans for the day. More work on the Alice movie captions. Maybe I will try and test out the gadgets I have for recording video for when I am on my 50+1 Capitals Tour. Which, as I have mentioned, is going to be postponed. How long is still unclear and probably won’t be clear until the end of this month (which is only 6 days away) or early February. When I have more information on my car.

Somehow I didn’t post last night’s blog post to Threads! How will my followers read it if I didn’t post it there. Hahahaha. No one from there reads this blog. But, hope springs eternal.

Still foot, er, life

I don’t know that the way I am creating transparent text is the easist way. It takes some tweaking since some letters have enclosed spaces which I need to eliminate indivisdually, adding to the time. I could use one of the graphic apps maybe. But this way – keynote to preview. Edit in preview and save again. That seems to work. And that’s what I will keep doing tonight. I am only through around 1.5 minutes of a 9 minute movie. Long way to go. Long row to hoe!

I did laundry today. That always makes me feel like I was productive and acted like a responsible adult. Go me! Ok, the laundry isn’t strictly done as I type this, but it will be. I also changed the sheets on my bed. I am thinking that maybe after my boarder leaves, I will sleep in another bedroom for a bit and see if that helps my back. I think the bed/mattresses I have in the main bedroom are causing me pain. Sigh. If it isn’t one thing…

Tomorrow is Monday. We shall see how much snow we have to dig out from under. And when the State Farm people can get their act together and take my car on its road trip to Baldwinsville. I hope the storage fees at the Seneca Falls place aren’t too exorbitant. (I always want to add an “h” to that word.)

Augustus for President: Guess who didn’t try to play with his video gadgets today. That’s right, this guy. Tomorrow is a lock though. For sure. Ok, 60-40.

And as I said elsewhere, the 50+1 Capitals Tour is going to be postponed. How long? I am not sure. I have to figure out what is happening with my transportation first. My guess I will know about that by Wednesday or Thursday.

Life is…

Bye bye physicians!

Life is unpredictable.

Life is precarious.

Walking is just continually falling without falling down.

I feel like my life is a question mark that doesn’t often turn into an exclamation point.

One thing that happens in my mind is the ever popular “what if” or “if only.” “But it didn’t happen that way” I have to keep telling myself. Reality is.

Then again, perception is reality. So, is reality real or just what I perceive?

Happy Saturday. The car didn’t make it to the collision repair place yesterday. That sucks. And is unsurprising. The towing company was super busy yesterday and they couldn’t make it happen for my car to get to the collision place. And now it won’t get there until Monday at the earliest. Probably Tuesday because we are supposed to be getting big snow starting tomorrow (Sunday) lasting through late Monday. So again, towing companies are going to put low priority on moving my damaged vehicle a long distance when they can move more cars short distances. Why couldn’t I get in a crash on a Tuesday? And during a thaw. Thanks universe. 🤓

The accident could have been much worse. Luckily the other driver tried to avoid me and I tried to avoid her. We hit left fender to left fender. No airbags were deployed. I didn’t take any pictures because it was bitterly cold and windy and I was probably a bit in shock. And as my friend SM pointed out, near death experiences (even ones like this that weren’t so near deathy) take a while for the body to process. And that’s what I am doing, processing.

And working on the Alice film. I think I have gotten about two thirds of the captions from the film and made up text boxes for them. And I tried to get one into iMovie. Took some trial and error. And I think I will have to do it a few more times to make it second nature (for now). It isn’t that hard, but it does take multiple steps which take time. Which I have a lot of just now.

Thank you LF for the apples and the visit! My socializing for the day (week?) is accomplished!

WordPress is messing around again. Now it isn’t working as expected on my iPhone. Not a huge deal, but still frustrating. Maybe I will need to change blogging platforms at some point.

Augustus for President: I didn’t follow through with my friend about the badge. Turns out that their printer was not working so I printed them out the badge inserts. And gave them another badge holder, just in case!

And it is pretty definite that I won’t be starting the trip on February 11 as anticipated. Life is that way sometimes.
