Yummy!

 Today is National Doughnut Day and management here celebrated by handing out free doughnuts to anyone who came to the lobby between 7:30 and 8:30am.  I imagine their main goal was to hand out doughnuts to people on their way to work, but a doughnut is a strong lure.  I'm guessing I wasn't the only senior citizen who showed up.  To give myself credit, I didn't go down to the lobby in my pajamas.  I did get dressed, jeans and T-shirt dressed, donuts don't require makeup. The doughnuts were from Tom's (always delicious) and I got a jelly filled one.   

On a completely different topic, my west coast brother pointed out to me that 2022 is the International Year of Glass; which probably means I should celebrate(?) by washing my windows.  This is not as easy as you might think.  The windows and sliding glass door on my balcony are easy to reach from inside and out but the dining room windows are more challenging.  There is a three foot wide ledge outside those windows, but with no railing and 10 stories up, I really don't think I want to climb over the balcony railing and walk along that ledge to wash the outside of those windows.  And the bedroom windows don't have any kind of outside ledge at all.  I suspect that the windows, which are the kind that slide side to side, can be lifted out of their track, at least one of each set, cleaned and replaced.  Sounds reasonable but I have concerns.  What if I get the windows out and can't lift them back in?  These are 50 year old heavy windows.  What if a goose or pigeon flies in while the window is out?  I may need professional help here, or I may need to find another way to celebrate the Year of Glass.  Perhaps I'll just clean my eye glasses and my phone screen and my computer screen and my tablet screen, and maybe, if I'm really feeling celebratory, I will Windex all my mirrors.
