me day

Today was so exciting! I finally had a day off in the middle of the week so I could have a me day! It's been a long time (months). Pat was gone so I got up at 7am and did the chores, ate a apple strudel for breakfast (sinful) and then reset the alarm and went back to sleep until the phone rang, only 15 minutes before alarm went off. Sylvia could get me in early to cut hair. So I dashed into the shower and dressed and took off. Got about 6 inches of hair removed so now I'm down to the first wrinkle on my neck (from chin) with hair length. I sure have been developing wrinkles this year, every squint line emphasized anew, and the face is falling rapidly now. Yeah to be 60! If only I were so much wiser.
So with new hair cut, I drove to Montrose and Hastings book store where I spent some of my precious hard earned money on magazines and one book. Then to Salvation Army where I found some new tops and a replica of a wooden bell they put on their water buffalo in Thailand for Pat's bell collection. And I found the deluxe version of Scrabble with the turntable base and the wells for letters to fit into so they don't spin off and ALL the letter tiles were there for $1.49! Then I felt my saturated fat intake wasn't adequate today so I stopped at Long John Silvers and had the 2 pieces of fish special with diet rootbeer (please notice the diet). Came home, looked at the beginning of the first magazine Somerset Memories which is artistic scrapbooking/ART and realized I needed a nap. Am I getting old or what! Had a nice 1 1/2 hour nap! Then started the laundry of the new tops. Then Pat came home and now here I am day of me over and time to start supper. Ravioli and tossed salad. Tomorrow back to work and Aleta's funeral/memorial at 2 pm. Hard to believe another week went racing by!
