If We Were Having Coffee

Saw this at The Story Sanctuary; If We Were Having Coffee was started by The Perpetual Page Turner, and looked like something I would rather be doing than what I should be doing. I would, of course, be drinking tea, but I'd have some apple pie to share. 

If We Were Having Coffee, I would tell you that I've read 1,004 books for the year, and finding it really hard to be motivated to read anything else until January. This week, my goal is just a book a day. I'm currently reading Robert Lipsyte's Rhino's Run, and it's really good. Mr. Lipsyte is 86 years old. He and Avi are still on top of things!

If We Were Having Coffee, I might complain about the six new carts of Chromebooks that were dropped off at my school when I was out for a doctor's appointment, but I would spin it to sound funny rather than super annoying. We're glad to have new devices, but we were e mailed one plan, and another one happened. That involved having students return Chromebooks in the middle of the day. You can just imagine the chaos. 

If We Were Having Coffee, I would show you the 1979 Sunset Designs Jiffy Needlepoint Christmas tree ornament kit that my daughter picked up for me at the thrift store. It was already started, but the stitches were going backwards. Had to continue it that way. We made up a whole sad backstory about Janet, the original crafter, and why she had to abandon the project in 1981 after a bitter divorce from Gary. I have done any wool needlepoint since about the time this vaguely creepy Santa was produced!

If We Were Having Coffee, my dog Leo would probably jump up on my lap and sniff my tea to see if it was something he wanted. He's been with me since June but has recently become all too comfortable. He is not allowed at the kitchen table, and was promptly removed. He has taken to settling himself on pillows on the sofa and barging in to any room I am in even if the door is ajar. I guess he has finally decided that I am his forever human. 

If We Were Having Coffee, I wouldn't talk about my recuperation from my tendon replacement because it's just boring and annoying. The doctor is happy with my progress, and I'm back to walking to work, but it still doesn't feel great. 

The weather is cool but sunny, and Leo and I have been getting in our steps after doing chores, some of which involved a little bit of sewing, so now that's all I want to do! Have a great week!
