Dreary Monday

It’s dreary for two reasons. First, the weather is pretty bad (for Bermuda, that is), and second Kim left last evening for Geneva and will be gone for until Friday. So, I’m left to my own devices for the week – except that my devices definitely favor warm, dry weather, and there is neither today.

So first, I’m going to figure out, then shop for what I’m going to eat for the week. I need something healthy and easy. When I’m alone it’s pretty easy to junk it up with the food (either at home or out), but I’m going to try to avoid that. How does homemade chicken soup sound? Hmmm, that’ll be good for a few meals, right?

Next, I think I’ll hang more pictures. We’re getting more and more things in place, so we can now see the bare spots. I have to be careful about where the draperies will go, though, since they’re not yet up. Well, in fact, they’re not yet purchased. Which is definitely a Kim activity since color decisions are never left to me.

Then, since we’re finding we have lots more items to dispose of, I’m going to photograph some and try to sell them on the Internet. Bermuda has www.e-moo.com, sort of a local eBay. So far, our success with selling on that site has been spotty. The tough part is figuring out how to price things. Some items – furniture in particular – have gone really fast (uh-oh – underpriced). Other things haven’t even elicited a phone call. An alternative would be a garage sale, but I’m definitely not up for organizing that.

Kim asked if I was going to play some golf while she’s gone. There are lots of courses, all close by, and at this time of the year there wouldn’t be any crowds during the week. But for some reason, I’m just not interested. And I definitely don’t need the exercise since I work out regularly anyway. Maybe I’ll change my mind when the sun comes out.

OK, time to get busy.
