Pondering

 

Every morning, the first thing that I do after giving a treat to the cats make a cup of coffee using my Keurig coffee maker and a McCafe coffee pod.  !2 ounces of coffee, followed by three heaping spoonsful of sugar free cappuccino mix.

It is not anywhere close to the Starbucks Vanilla Cappuccino that I purchase when I have a gift card, but it is close enough for me.  With my coffee, I sit down in my lounge chair and begin to ponder.  I ponder all sorts of stuff from theoretical physics to cosmology, astrology, ancient aliens, politics, the weather, my health, finances, to our next vacation.

When I am not pondering, I am watching the news, a cable TV series or movie (which is seldom because most of the new ones are garbage), maintaining my blogs (like this one) or writing on a novel.

Currently, I have completed 10 novels (100,000+ words each) and have 6 that I have started but stopped and started writing on another idea.  I have decided to complete the ones I have started before attempting a new one again.  Although, if I get an idea, I will write the idea down, so it is now forgotten.

When it comes to politics, I belong to neither party because neither party had ever done what they promised...  this goes back to 1966 when I first got interested in politics.  We have the same problems today that we had in 1966 and neither the Republicans or the Democrats have done anything to change that and both parties have had several opportunities when they controlled the house and senate.  This lack of progress and unfulfilled promises leaves me wondering why we have a congress at all except to provide careers to some politicians.

Living in East TN, we experience fairly mild winters and even though we have some cold days, maybe snow and ice or sleet, our winters never last very long anymore.  In fact, today is probably going to be the transition day from winter to spring as we have a gradually increase in temps so that by next Tuesday, we are in the 60s.

In case you are wondering, I drink McCafe with sugar free cappuccino mix all day long...  stopping around 6:00 pm.
