It was 46°F this morning and close to that temperature when I started my walk. It wasn’t long before I felt overdressed. The sun was heating everything pretty quickly. I shed my watch cap and gloves and unzipped the jacket. Every so often you would get hit by a breeze and it would chill right back down. I managed 1.2 miles today but got tired before the end.
I spent a lot of time on the phone last night with Darla, a colleague from Broward College, two doors down from my office. We laughed and giggled and caught up on old friends – and I do mean old. Darla taught Anatomy and Physiology at the college. We both agreed we had a hard time remembering certain words that we taught for over 30 years. I had a hard time coming up with the word mesentery in our conversation. In summation, we agreed we are getting old but we are still here and kicking.
Today’s wash day. It’ll be two loads today, then comes the drying and the folding. Changing the linen is the most difficult of the routine. I can see a day when it becomes too much.
John is coming over with a lemon bundtlet. He had another coupon for a BOGO. We’ll do something for lunch and then sit and talk. He’s a good conversationalist. Hopefully, sometime in the afternoon I’ll get a chance to take a nap – I stayed up too late talking to Darla.
It’s an absolutely gorgeous day today. The sun is very bright and we hadn’t seen it in a while with all the overcast skies. Tomorrow it starts to warm up (lows in the 60’s). I keep flipping the AC back and forth between cooling and heating. I’m sure it is confused. As am I.
Stay tuned!
