More of the Same

Honestly, did I do anything today? I made a very brief trip to the ShopRite for one or two things, and I finished washing and putting away all the cat towels. And ... that's it.

Which is okay. I took a nap, and I picked up my next book, which is one I have read before but not for a long time; I saw the movie on TV when I was in junior high school and then I found the book in the school library there. Maybe it was my first year at the high school; anyway, I'm pretty sure we don't have the book in my library anymore. I got it from an Amazon seller. It's called Bridge to the Sun, by Gwen Terasaki. The movie, an unbelievable weeper, starred Carrol Baker, I think, and James Shigeta. It was based on the book, which is the true story of a woman from Tennessee who, in 1931, married a Japanese diplomat, and who thereafter lived through World War II as an American in Japan. A great love story in addition to the situation she was in, and a great movie -- melodrama, but enjoyable -- if you ever get the chance to see it.

They're predicting nasty weather for tonight and tomorrow again, and New York City is already on alert for the havoc they expect it to cause in their public transportation system. I just talked to R, who said she brought work home to do tomorrow, and that her boss has basically said to them that he knows that no one can make it in if it rains. This is crazy; I don't remember anything like this happening before. But it shut down the city subway system for hours yesterday because of flooding, and commuters from many of the outlying areas just found that their trains or buses weren't running. Very strange.

And that is it. It's finally turned into the quiet summer I'd anticipated, although I do have some plans to make, if I can. I'll let you know.
