One: Watching Being Human on Netflix, UK version. However, I'm on the second to last season, and know the final season just began on BBC America, so I'm trying not to rush it and not have another season to finish it up.
Two: Sitting on my in-laws front porch. I park my wide rear in the wide rocking chair and absorb the surroundings. I look in awe at the tomato plants, growing recklessly out of the containers near the hand railing. Wondering if I will be able to grow tomatoes in Abu Dhabi. I love fresh tomatoes. I watch the humming birds hover and eat from the feeder, wondering how they keep they are able to hover, in one spot, their wings a blur. The humming birds put on a show, racing, chasing, swerving in and out of porch posts, daily. In the silence of the early evening, you can even hear their wings flutter back and forth, or up and down, in a blur of gray and black.
Three: Searching the internet for knitting patterns to make something I can squeeze into my suitcase. Success, a scarf. After a trip to Micheals for materials, I have completed one and am almost finished with the second. I've already given them away to family members close by, thus necessitating another trip, this time to Walmart, for four more balls of varying hues, perhaps I will get one for myself.
Here is the first one, the start and finished product (If you can get past my Toby Keith Tee)
So folks, if you have more ideas to keep me distracted, while waiting, and trying not to check my email every half hour, please share.
