Hello everyone,
I ran out of time this morning before work and didn’t post until the afternoon. I’m busy thinking about my trip on Thursday to my reunion. I had my annual physical with my doctor this afternoon and I’m perfectly healthy, so that is a good thing. Every time I see him I ask him when he is going to retire and then I tell him not to tell me. I’ve been going to him since I first moved to Naples in 1975. That is a long time to have the same doctor. He’s seen me through all of my trials and tribulations. He knew me when I was single, then married, then single again. Knew me when I was in the Restaurant business and still frequents Tony’s Ridgway Bar and Grill. So we go WAY back. I’d hate to have to get used to another gynecologist but he’ll have to retire one of these days.
I am working on what I should take to Connecticut. I don’t have many “nice” clothes, that is why I don’t like to travel much. I do have an outfit for the Saturday night dinner and I borrowed some “bling” from a girlfriend at work that will be better for me to wear than just my regular gold jewelry. I’ve also discovered that it is my cousin Dick’s birthday on Sunday when I am there. Thank goodness for the little “reminder” apps I have – I would never have known it was his birthday otherwise. I keep up with birthdays now from Facebook.
Well, if I get distracted and don’t post everyday, you’ll have to get used to it. Sometimes I just get very wrapped up in things and distracted – especially when I stress out and flying and travelling stresses me out. I have a ride to the airport from Barry with Naples Errand Runners. Last time he took me to the airport, I paid him twice as much as he wanted. I misunderstood the cost, so he owes me another round trip. I’m glad that worked out, because I wasn’t sure I would use him again if his price was so high. So now I won’t need to worry about leaving my car out in the open at the airport. I do have to leave at 5:30 AM on Thursday so I doubt I’ll make it to the District Meeting on Wednesday night.
There is already fall out from my girlfriends and the reunion. Suzanne’s father in law took a tumble and isn’t doing very well. She is afraid this may be the final fall for him. He has been struggling for a lot of years and his wife has been trying to be his caregiver, but it is so hard on her. They are so proud and don’t want to ask for help, but need to. I understand what they are going through. It is so hard. I can only pray that God helps them through this difficult time. Amen!
That’s about it for now. I’ll be back tomorrow – probably!
