Playing it by Ear Thursday, December 27, 2012



Pilgrim, 2012.


I’m starting to get organized for the new year here. Caugh, caugh, sneeze…..
First, I’ve ordered my new 2013 Passenger Ship Desk Calendar from Peter Knego. Then I ordered my Tea Towel wall hanging calendar from Bowsprite’s Etsy site. I’m so grateful I can support fellow enthusiasts even in such a small way.

Next, I’ll back up my blogs and journals, and last of all, backing up the photos to the 1000 Terrabytes (TB) of space. About half full, did I say that. I can’t grasp the thought of a hard drive that big much less it being half full. That computer also has a 560 GB hard drive for the operating system. That too astounds me as our first computer had a 2 GB hard drive…total. It’s all about gratitude.

There’s no plan to take the tree down yet. Though I’m not a traditional Christian, I’m reminded that there really are 12 days of Christmas that start on the 25th. I’m not about to take my tree down on the 3rd day of the holiday. The Great Geezer’s Birthday is coming up in late January. There have been years that we’ve left the tree up till then. We will play it by ear this year.

I’m headed back to bed soon on the 4th day of this blossoming cold. Yesterday it reached my sinuses, and today it reached my chest. We will play this one by ear too. Have a great weekend saving your own computer things.

Don’t forget to save my other address. Please bookmark Postcards on Blogger so you can find me if anything ever goes wrong on Open Diary. It’s just the same words and pictures as you see here in Open Diary.

Achoooo, cough, cough…..



  • Keeping those on the east coast in my thoughts.

  • Himself: Still suffering the side effects of Shingles. It’s not as bad, but it is still with him.

  • Herself: Achoooooooooooo……….

  • Reading: My way through Reeve Lindbergh’s books and wondering about the morals of her father.

  • Balance: Dozing in the sunshine.




i hope that this cold is a short Achooooo for you [oulin] 12/27/2012 12:21:17 PM
It is amazing, the hard drives on our computers these days. Even my iPod, with 64 GB of space for music has more space onn it than my first computer! So does my iPad. Technology has come such a long way.

Now if we could just find a cure for the common cold. I'm getting one of those too. Achoo, indeed...sniffle sniffle...:) [The Rickster]

Me, too. Achoo! [aunty EM (2)] 12/27/2012 1:21:17 PM
hope you feel better soon. [GypsyWynd] 12/27/2012 1:47:47 PM
Sorry to hear you hab a cold. No fun. [LightButHearty] 12/27/2012 2:46:50 PM
COLD BEGONE!!! Did that help? No? Okay, then. Hot lemonade and whiskey. Nope. Forget the whiskey. Honey instead. [BonnieRose] 12/27/2012 3:09:31 PM
I, too, got hit by a bad cold -- suddenly and quickly on Friday night. I was so determined that I'd still be able to enjoy Christmas Eve and Christmas Day -- and I did, though it wasn't easy. Paying for it now though -- had to go to the doctor because I am SO sick. I just stand over the bathroom sink and cough into it and blow my nose into it. Gross, I know. At least now I have antibiotics (even though the doctor can't be sure if it's viral or bacterial) and prescription cough medicine. I sure hope yours doesn't get as bad as mine did! [Elan] 12/27/2012 3:16:50 PM
Stay warm, and get well soon. [TrilliumZen] 12/27/2012 3:36:24 PM

My smart phone actually is more powerful than all the combined computers that put the men on the moon.

Muchas Smuchas

Feel better. :) [Jeanne] 12/27/2012 9:24:45 PM
the last diarist I just noted was also backing up her diary from the year.....can't bothered doing that any more myself. As I told her I prefer to look forward rather than back...each day is a new day.
How is Geezer's health now...are the shingles cleared up?

Oh I'm sorry you've caught the crud; hope it clears up quickly. Do leave the tree up-it's a bright spot of happy. [zipster] 12/28/2012 3:01:45 AM

Take good care of yourself so you get rid of that cold-you sure don't want it to linger the rest of the winter. [gel] 12/28/2012 10:15:38 AM
Your memory must be the only thing about you that's jinxed for I am contiually impressed with your talents, organization and "get up and go." [TickTockTickTock] 12/30/2012 12:53:02 PM
I do hope it's a mild cold and that you're over it quickly. [Tehachap] 1/9/2013 2:52:28 AM
