Old Movies

Yesterday took a lot out of me. Besides the choir practice, I had an appointment with my primary care doctor to check on the blood pressure issues. I am doing acceptably with that for now, and she will not meddle until after the cancer care is done.

Too bad there were two things on the same day. I try to avoid that if possible. But I thought I managed fine, and although I was tired last night after rehearsal, it was nothing overwhelming.

Today is another story. I am indeed tired. I decided to sleep in (you KNOW I must be tired if I don't get up until after 9am), and not go anywhere. I had borrowed some old movies from the library for the weekend, but decided to watch them today - stuff like the Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart and the Grand Hotel with Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford.

I don't usually go for the older movies, but it was kind of refreshing to see the clothing styles and the ancient cars and the rather awkward cinematography. A sort of throw back to a slower, gentler era.

I vegged all day waiting for the boys to come home. They stirred up a bit of action for an hour or so before they were off to their evening activities. I went back to my old movies for a bit before retiring. Tomorrow will be better I am sure. At least I managed to care for Sugar in between stories!
