More a Scattered Post than a Scattered Sunday

I had a little trouble with WordPress over the weekend with the result that I last posted Friday morning (Thursday’s post, by the way) and it was not actually posted. It seems I neglected to click on something to confirm something, blah blah woof woof.  I am so in the wrong century.  The main thing I have gained from the computer era, and this occurred in the last century,  is the perfect summation of my life:  Operator Error.  One good thing is that I find myself perfectly set up for a Wrist to Forehead Sunday Post.

I’m the tough one brandishing the pitch fork.

However, rather than continuing to lament my ills, I wanted to share this blast from my past that showed up in my Facebook Memories.  It is Much Ado At the Zoo, when LiFT, Little Falls Theatre Company presented Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing at the Utica Zoo in 2016 (do I really need to tell anybody it is Shakespeare’s? Oh, I suppose I do).

Right now I should be studying my lines for Love’s Labour’s Lost, which we are doing this year (perhaps you read one of my blog posts about it).  I will read through them before I go to bed.

In other news, I went running this morning for the first time in two months.  It went pretty well. I enjoyed it.  I wanted to make a Running Commentary Post, only I did not solve my WordPress problems till later in the day, and the moment had passed.

I see I am over 250 words.  I think I will bill this as a Scattered Sunday.  I hope I have done all the right things and can continue to post on a daiy basis.  Then again, a little uncertainty adds interest to my life.  Happy Sunday, everyone!

 

Or Was it a Scattered Sunday?

How about a new feature: Sleepy Sunday. For the Sundays when I am ready to head to bed and realize I have not made my blog post yet. In recent months at these times, I have thought, Oh hell, I’ll just make my blog post in the morning (and once again, autocorrect, no, I do not mean “he’ll” I mean “hell”). I am trying not to do that any more, because I like to take a walk in the morning.

I have had an uneventful Sunday. I went for a walk. I decided not to go to the grocery store as I usually do. I did a load of laundry. I read a book (didn’t finish it). I watched a couple of movies with my husband, working on crochet till the yarn made me too warm. I made tomorrow’s lunch.

Oh, that brings me to something interesting, to me anyways. I am trying to make refrigerator oatmeal for tomorrow’s breakfast. I looked up some recipes online but did not follow any of them exactly. If it turns out good, I will share how I did it in a future blog post.

What’s that you say? Tell you now? No way! You might say, “That’ll never work!” and be right. Then you can say, “Told you so!” I don’t need any hecklers on Sleepy Sunday.

I Love a Good Barista!

Part of my Scattered Saturday was a visit to Joseph Putrello’s Barista Bar.

I keep repeating to myself, “Barista!”

We did drive back through Utica to Joseph Putrello’s Barista Bar.  We drank espresso and hot cocoa, and ate cannolis and gingerbread cookies.  Yum!

An obvious photo op.

When Kim went to sip her espresso, she noted that her preferred method of holding the cup hid the logo.  I persuaded her to post with logo showing.

It was a delightful interlude, whether you remember the difference between a baristro and a bistro or not.  I can only hope it makes for an adequate Scattered Saturday Post.

 

These Things Happen on Scattered Sunday

Ya pays yer money, ya takes yer chances.

I just now said this to my husband, Steven, never mind apropos what.  It is one of my favorite expressions, almost a philosophy of life.  It’s right up there with “Shit happens,” and “You’ll have that.”  But I digress.

I had a Saturday Cinema Post, so Sunday Cinema seems ineligible.   I do not feel it is a Wrist to Forehead Sunday.  For one reason, I got wined.  I joined a wine group on Facebook.  I mean to write a whole blog post about it, when I wine a few ladies this week.

What a delightful surprise!

I went for a run this morning,  but it was not as good as Friday’s run.  Friday I ran up the hill to HCCC (that is, Herkimer College, but to locals it will always be “H trip-C”).

I don’t think this really shows the slope.

Later I went to the liquid store (see earlier paragraph about wining people) and to the grocery store.  I wore my mask, which my sweet friend Margaret sent me, and kept my distant as best as I could. It is still stressful, but I realize others have far more stress, so I count my blessings.

Back home I made a tossed salad, which should last us at least a week.  I also made some vegetable cream cheese, grating and chopping actual vegetables,  including chives from my garden (yesterday’s snow apparently did not harm them). I used said cream cheese to make some stuffed celery.   I suppose I could have done a food post on that.  As they say, Oh well.

I see I am over 250 words, so I guess I will call this a Scattered Sunday Post and drive on.  I have not gotten called back to work yet,  so Monday is a blank page.  I hope to fill it well, and of course I hope you will stay tuned.
