At the investment group last night, said that I had onl.y 4 hours left to enjoy being 84 ... ... and, they didn't even sing "Happy birthday ... " to me ... ... plus, at the after-meeting for a few to continue the discussion at the arches fast food place, after ... I had to buy my own coffee! As for that candle on the cupcake at the ROMEOs last week, that I held at arm's length ... I did get it blown out! To some merriment ... who thought that there was a blow-hard ... in this august group! 'Twould be quite a job - to get 85 candles on a cupcake: wall-to-wall fire, right! The temp. around here is warmer today - about 20 F. I goofed, earlier - drove right by the licence renewal place and forgot the need to go in. Looking for another place in the city at present. Half decent day, all told. ole joyfuelledf

Awww, I missed it! Please post the next one!

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!! So here's what I did over the last couple days - stuff I never would have spent time on in the past. I went to the mall to try to use my Talbots coupon, bought some new "everyday" earrings, picked up golf tees and a glove at the golf store, went to the range, bought a couple perennials, did some work on the terribly overgrown and hideous perennial garden that came with this town home when we moved in four years ago (more work to do on that), put a couple herbs in a pot, explored the community and found a great new walking trail that I immediately took advantage of, went to an open house (I keep saying I'm never moving again but maybe that's not true) and otherwise goofed off and lounged around. I did realize today that I have to figure out my two day a week work schedule at DHs company. I have a lot of other stuff going on this summer (including extended time at the lake place) and needed to make sure I reserved two unscheduled days a week for my "retirement job". Got that noted on the calendar through July. Next week I'll be at the lake a few days during the week - getting together with my college professor friend who spends her summers there - another thing I never had time to do before.
