Persistence Monday, January 07, 2013



La Jolla Glider Port, January 2013.


  • So I went and bought the teapot. There it was, right where I had photographed it. I got it home and discovered that the lid had been glued on….that kind of soft glue that one can ball up and remove with persistence. I was persistent, and with certain lid care, it will pour two cups of nice hot tea on our cold rainy afternoons.


  • There are years here when we seem to have no rain at all. Then, like this year, storm after storm roll through leaving our roads tangled and our souls damp. In the brief break between storms, we took a photo drive this weekend. Last time we drove south, this time we headed north stopping where ever our humor found us. The Geezer has posted a good overview of the places we photographed. From me, you will have to suffer through one rainless photos a day for a while.


  • And it did rain, great pounding showers for a while yesterday. I huddled in the office with the Geezer while he played games. Huddled after lunch too when I fell asleep at the computer neck-breakingly for about an hour and a half. No move to the bedroom as it was like ice. The Geezer announced I snored. I didn’t appreciate any of it and would rather have been woken up.


  • We are mildly weight watchering again. I’m not logging the foods, and only today have I finished the antibiotics which will keep working for ten more days. The pain and pressure from those sinuses seem less, so maybe later this week I can venture out into public…like meetings with less coughing or nose blowing. Consumer Reports says that WW is not the best weight loss program, but it does work vastly better if one goes to the meetings. We need to get off our sick asses and just go.




  • Keeping those on the east coast in my thoughts.

  • Himself: I asked, he replied that everything is getting better slowly.

  • Herself: Planned menus, bought foods, and am eating what ever he decides to cook. A little abstractions after my unexpected nap.

  • Reading: Still “Books Can Be Deceiving,” Jenn McKinlay.

  • Balance: Shower, posting this, and laundry.




Happy to read that you're feeling better. That teapot just had a comforting look to it...shape, size, color. [lelis] 1/7/2013 9:56:46 AM
Enjoy that teapot. Lucky you to have someone to care to share a cup or two.. [oulin] 1/7/2013 10:06:05 AM
I'm glad you went back for the lovely teapot!
Very glad, too, that you are both getting better. [BonnieRose]

I'm so glad you bought the teapot. Nothing like a nice cozy cuppa tea on a rainy, grey day.
So, what weight loss program did Consumer Reports consider the best? [GypsyWynd]

I hope southern CA gets all the rain out of it's system before we visit in March.

What does Consumer Reports think the best weight loss program is? [scrpbookr]

A good solid nap is better than one very interrupted one.

Muchas Smuchas

You and G have been sick for such a long time...my heart goes out to you. [LightButHearty] 1/7/2013 10:45:23 AM
That pot would look great next to two dark red cups! [+Pelican] 1/7/2013 10:49:16 AM
I think nice warm tea from that pot is going to be just the ticket to make you and G feel much better.

Enjoy that teapot!
Enjoy that rain, too. I hope it contines for a while to give plenty of water, but stops being so ferocious. [Arbi]

The teapot is unusual enough that it could be solely decorative, but if you can use it comfortably, even better. Is it difficult to lift when full of hot tea? [TrilliumZen] 1/7/2013 4:04:25 PM

WW worked fine for me when I did it. Not when I didn't. ) [pb reader] 1/7/2013 7:49:40 PM
I had to go back and get a look at your teapot. Very nice! [Tornado] 1/7/2013 10:34:26 PM

I keep reading that WW is one of the best programs out there. I wonder why consumer reports don't like it. Maybe because you are really responsible for fixing the correct foods and you do eat real foods. So many of the diets are shakes that don't teach a person to eat correctly.  [crystal butterfly] 1/8/2013 6:57:38 AM
