Do!! I need to pencil in one of those now that spring has sprung!
Go on an Easter egg hunt?
Do not.
Make a special dessert for Easter?
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
Do not. We still give Easter Eggs on Easter morning and a dessert of any sort, as well, might be too much of a good thing. Besides, there are often too many hot cross buns to finish up. In Australia we can get chocolate hot cross buns as well as plain or fruit ones.
Enjoy a public holiday on Easter Monday?
Do not.
Count calories?
Love God, love people
Do not.
Go to a dance?
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
Do not. Or not anymore since that bloke Arthur Itis started taking me from joint to joint. But I did meet my husband at a Scottish dance and since then, I have been dancing around, trying to keep my husband of 45 years happy.
Go to school reunions?
Do. When these occur. The last one I went to was on a wet day, to farewell our old school building before it was demolished, several weeks after the Feb 2011 earthquake. A couple of dozen of us stood in the rain under umbrellas, going through the ritual of a final school assembly, singing the school hymn, hearing the school bible reading (of our era), and saying the Lord's Prayer, just as we did in the late 60s/early 70s. Most of the reunions I have been to have been much more cheerful.
Do a "plank" in a public place?
There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."
Do not. I'm shy and don't like making a spectacle of myself.
Use an invisibility cloak?
Do, if they existed and I had one.
Read books in public places?
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
Do. All the time, especially in doctors' waiting rooms, on public transport, especially trains, planes but not buses.
Watch soapies on television, such as Days of our Lives?
Do not. I never really got into afternoon TV.
Listen to music as you fall asleep?
We have nothing, if not belief.
—C.S. Lewis
Not do. If I'm wearing headphones they wake me up when I turn over in my sleep, and if I'm listening through a speaker I risk disturbing other people in the house. I tried a Bluetooth sleep headband that allows you to listen to music from your phone but I have such a big head that it was way too tight.
Choose a slower route to enjoy the scenery?
Do, or have done. Because, besides the nicer scenery, there is often less traffic on a slower route, so slow and steady gets me to win the race.
Check use-by dates on any grocery items on your shopping list?
Yes, particularly perishables.
Read while traveling?
Some days you battle yourself and other monsters. Some days you just make soup.
Yes, as a fee-paying passenger, when it is a long or longish journey. One thing about reading a good book or two, on a plane flight, for example, you can do so freely without interfering with the aeroplane's electronics, unlike a laptop or a mobile phone.
Read in doctors' waiting rooms?
