Entry for Sunday, January 28, 2007 - 410?

I had to email the Beta Feedback Team with Yahoo again this morning. My counter says that I've had 410 page views for the week.....I'm sorry, but I just don't believe that can be true. I'm sure there are only about 25 people tops that ever look at my page on a consistent schedule and I'm pretty sure they don't spend their whole day logging in and out of my blog page. I know I'm right about this or I would get comments from strangers and I never do. I get comments from friends who have created their own blank yahoo account just for that purpose. I understand why my Government friends can not do that. I began this blog to keep friends and family up to date with me after I retired and it still serves that purpose. It also provides me with an avenue to write, and to express myself more creatively than is possible in my daily life right now. It gives me connection to the outside world and I've come to realize that connection is important to me.

I have no where to go and not much to do today. Isn't that wonderful? Yesterday I went to visit my Mother and get her groceries. I took the last of the cabbage rolls from the freezer for us to have for dinner and a couple of pieces of cheesecake for dessert. I made the cheesecake one evening this week. For dinner tonight I think we'll just clean up the left-overs in the refrigerator. I used to call that "Mustgo night" when the kids were still at home. It stands for everything in the refrigerator must go! It makes for some strange meals sometimes; "combinations Mother Nature never intended" so to speak. As long as it keeps body and soul together, that's all that matters. I'm trying to fight the impulse to do more cooking today. Every time it gets cold and rainy/snowy (dark), I want to make soup or spend the day in the kitchen next to the stove, but I don't want to end up with too much stuff in the frig when there is just the two of us noshing on it.

I'll do a few loads of laundry, perhaps find a book or do a period of meditation. I get to choose!

So to my 25 real viewers and my 385 imaginary friends, have a great Sunday!
