Hello Bettermost friends!
Helllllllloooooooooooooooo friends!
So, today, I was a slug! LOL
I didn't do any drinking today (despite what the picture may suggest), and I didn't do any cleaning today either. I did some small repairs around the apartment, went for a walk, and just spent today relaxing.
Next week I'm only working on Monday and Tuesday, the rest of the week I have off. I believe one of those days my mom, her friend Dee, and my friend Cor will be coming over for lunch. I'm thinking I'll make the Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole, some corn-on-the-cob, and salad.
I play with toy trains for fun, but you could have played with the real thing and got payed for it!
A career in the railroad never interested me. When I was a kid my dad used to take me to the rail yards, and let me get on the engine.
Now, behave you two and share your toys!! Chuck, you have some high-class entertainment here today! I would also like to say that I envy people like you guys who have organized lives and are able to travel for pleasure. Sometimes with me it seems like I'm just living under the thumb of other people sometimes. Maybe I would be a good candidate for living on my own...I'll probably get to try that out pretty soon. I do get to travel, and sometimes that's the only way I can get out from under their thumbs! I confess I don't really know what retirement is all about, but maybe I am retired and just don't know it yet.
Lee, I don't wanna behave!
And I love having entertainment in my blog!
Why I am really writing. Nearly a month ago, I wrote that my doctor had rung to say my PSA levels were way up. I had another blood test yesterday and the results were online when I got home from the movie. They are way down almost to what they were last year. Phew
So glad to hear!!! Thanks for the update, you must be so relieved now!
I work Saturdays so that's my Friday. Last weekend, I went to a dogshow a 2 1/2 hr drive from here and shared a hotel room with my friend who was one of the judges. I have known my friend for many years, I met her when I went to dogshows in the 70's with her mother, and was looking forward to her first time doing best in show. Alas, she was unable to finish as her MS raised it's ugly head. Had a good time, regardless, and enjoyed having a nice long visit with her.
Most weekends, I stay home and vegetate. I am afraid to retire, I need to be forced to be out and about, I would make a good hermit.
I am impressed, Chuck, with what a neat and tidy man you are. I have a house cleaner come in every 2nd week to change the bed, clean the bathrooms and vacuum (or hoover, as the british say). The whippet, the cat and I are very appreciative.
Hiya BG! I've never been to a dog show, and I suppose with my allergies, that's a good thing.
As for my cleaning, I kind of enjoy it. It just reinforces that this place is mine, and if I want it to be neat, I better stay on top of it and take responsibility for it.
I have to admit, when I worked, I had an ironing lady. She used to come to my house while I was at work, and do my ironing, even if i still had clothes on the clothes line she would get that and iron it too.
Amen to not ironing! I knew a fellow who would go to the bar in a wrinkled shirt and all the ladies would come over want to take care of him
When I first left home, I did not iron shirts, I bought drip dry. I went to stay a few days with a gay couple and they were horrified. Sadly I have ironed my shirts for the 30 or more years since (except when I am travelling). Where I now live, there are only 2 to 3 months of the year when you are likely not to wear a jumper (sweater, jersey whatever you may call it) so I aometimes think I only need iron the collar but, force of habit, I still iron all my shirts when at home.
The one thing I don't like to do is iron. I have purchased shirts and work slacks that are 'wrinkle free' when they come out of the dryer. When I do laundry on Sundays, I dry the work clothes together, and wen the buzzer goes off, I immediately take them out and hang them up. No need to iron.
