....Stupid questions. I'm wandering this morning. I couldn't sleep. It's Saturday, the one morning I should be able to sleep in. I woke up around 4 am, around 4:30 am I started doing leg stretches and stomach crunches. Tried to sleep again, but decided at 5:30 am to get up and take a bath. It was a warm, deliciously hot bath. Afterward, did I go back to sleep. No.
I downed my morning drugs, packed up my computer and now I sit in the Bakery with a cup of tea. I finished off my raspberry scone about an hour ago. I’ve drifted along on the internet at my corner window table, reading the headlines, drooled over shoes at Nordstroms, stressed over the lack of cash as I glance through my bank account online. Morning fog is burning off outside. Islanders are milling in and out. I glance up now and then from my computer to sip my tea. Occasionally, I see someone I know, however I just put my head down and continue drifting. Empty tables greeted me when I first came; Beethoven softly surrounded at I drank my warm tea. Now, seats are full, people are like sharks, grabbing the first open table as someone gets up to leave. I’m getting looks…..sole woman seated at a two top.
So my stupid question for this morning……and I have thought of many while drifting on my computer. Does anyone out there still read this stuff?
I’ll answer why after I get my results…….
It's nearly 9 am, I wonder how soon someone will answer my question.
I think I'll wander over to the Farmer's market......and someone can have my table.
A quiet good morning to all.

pish posh. you know i do. the remarkable thing is that i actually have internet access to be able to tell you today! XO
Of course we do. We may not make comments, but we do read. I worry about you when you go weeks without saying anything. I marvel at your way with words when you do write. You missed your calling, you should have been a writer. Please keep writting, we need to know how you are doing.

Kate and I read your blog. I was busy yesterday installing dsl and transcribing handouts for my classes--Kate and I are both teaching full time this summer. We're both squeamish about responding online.
