Yesterday, my very special friends, Angela and Sharon took me out to play for the day. Sharon brought me an orchid plant, which I'm hoping I can keep alive, but my green thumb is very limited. Angela, brought me a basket of yummy food treats, most of them chocolate. I felt very blessed that my friends would come and spend time with me. We went out and "did" lunch, and a mostly quiet restaurant where we sat and enjoyed a leisurely lunch. In my world, no meal, other than breakfast, is complete without dessert, so I ordered Tres Leches Cake. If you haven't eaten this cake, do yourself a favor and order, you will love it I promise.
Then my friends took me to Target for some cathartic shopping. I don't get out much anymore, and when I do go out, I generally have to use that stupid power cart, which I hate with a capital "H". I needed a birthday card for Stacey, but as long as I was in the store, I found other stuff to buy. I did actually buy a card, so my goal for shopping was met! After buying the card, we roamed and I drove through the store. I hate the little cart, because I kept running into things and/or people. And that obnoxious beep-beep sound the cart makes when you're backing up, makes me cringe. I never feel so handicapped, as when I'm forced to drive the little cart.
Oh, I also needed to buy new shelf liners for the refrigerator. I bought the rubbery kind, and it works very well to try and maintain the glass shelves. So, you can plainly see that there was a reason to go to Target. Umm, I may have bought other things besides those necessary things, but I had so much fun with my friends. Both ladies work, so for them to take one of their precious weekend days to spend with me meant a great deal.
And, getting dressed for my outing, I put on my new, black leggings. I bought them in a size larger than I need, so that said leggings didn't show as much all the dents and rolls of my body! I topped the leggings with a new tunic gray shirt, and I thought I looked fabulous. What the rest of the world saw, didn't and doesn't matter to me. I believe if you believe you look good, that's all that's important. This belief may be occurring because I'm 68 now, and frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn!
Today, the nurse from the rehab facility is coming to evaluate me for services that I need. All I need and want is to get some of my balance back, and maybe more important, how to get off the floor, when I fall down. Once I've fallen, I'm like a beached whale, flapping my arms and legs in a desperate attempt to get up. Unlike last year, I now have someone come in and clean the house once a week. Deep cleaning? Nope, just the regular stuff (bathrooms and kitchen), makes me very happy.
While I was at Target, I bought the book a "Wrinkle in Time". I want to read this book and then give it to Benjamin, if he hasn't read it, before he and/or I go to see the movie.
Well, friends that's my news for the day. Have an excellent Sunday, and remember to go around and set all your clocks.
