I cannot believe my ineptness sometimes. I forgot to call the library and renew my books because I have been on the computer a lot today. I am glad there is a grace day, but I think it will mean I have to take all of them into the library to renew. That will be a hassle because that many books are heavy. I keep a substantial amount of the library’s supply at home…
That does not even begin to describe my personal library of which I have not read too many books. See I have this thing where I figure I can read the books I own any time, but I borrow library books so those have to be returned and I read them instead. It is nutty, but I have been doing it a while now. One day I might not have access to a good library with lots of new books, so I have all these books I can read in that event. Yeah, I’m eccentric, that is okay… I think I am afraid of shortages and I do not really know why, but it seems to drive some bizarre hording habits I engage in.
I had gumbo for supper, it was tasty. Even though it was just canned gumbo that was alright. Homemade gumbo would be better. You cannot complain about canned when you don’t cook though, and everybody knows I do not cook. I think about that sometimes, but I am an avowed non-cooker. I did make sweet potato soufflé for Christmas, but that was an aberration.
I have to get new plug wires for my car because the "mechanic" who tuned up my car did not secure the plug wires. One of the casings is cracked because of arcing voltage as I drove home. I hope I can wait until next month to buy those… this month is running short, very short on cash. Would you call a guy who did not test drive your car a mechanic, I doubt it, so I use the word loosely.
Groceries are not a luxury, but I hope I can limit the amount I spend on them this week. It is hard to do so at Wal-Mart. Funny the things that can creep into a grocery cart and you know they deliberately set you up to spend more than you intend when you go there. You go in to spend $25.00 and come out with $150.00 and they take your money happily to the bank. I am thankful that America has stores like Wal-Mart though, we are very blessed as a nation.
I wonder if anyone is reading this… I guess it is okay either way.
Enough for now. 
Always,
Jo Ann
