I'm sure everyone has noticed that as one gets older the years seem to fly by. It is that time, space continuum kicking in. The shorter time you have left to live the faster the time goes to the end. Pleasant thought.
I did go to the Mall this morning and met with the women who are going to model in the fashion show. Being the co-chair, I don't have to model this year.. It is a lot of work and not very much fun, contrary to popular belief.
After the meeting with the women I called Veteran man and drove to his house which was close to the Mall. His cleaning lady was there and he took me on a tour of the house and showed me what he was doing and what had been done. He refinished all the floors and the wood color is beautiful. The original floors are red oak and came out a stunning color. I met his dog, a yellow lab, who was thrilled to have company. Only labs.
After the tour of the house he drove me over to a small restaurant where we had a salad for lunch. He had several appointments that afternoon and I needed to get home so we said our goodbyes when I returned home I had a lot of birthday cards in the mail from so many good friends. It is wonderful to be remembered and to know that people care.
I also had a several phone calls from people in other States wishing a happy birthday tomorrow. One of the biggest surprise was a lovely card from my step-grand daughter that I adore. She is so sweet. She sent a gift card to Barnes and Noble for me. My brother and sister in law sent two very generous gifts and my Aunt and cousin in Ohio also sent me a gift certificate to one of my favorite stores.
I'm so blessed and I think I need to remember that before I go into one of my declines. Since Sunday was such a horrible day, emotionally for me, I decided to shake myself out of the doldrums and get my act together. I figure in twenty years when I'm dead and gone, no one will care what I went through or what happened in my life or any one's elses for that matter.
To get off that subject. I thought I was off all the dating sites/ Low and behold I heard from a man that lives in Los Angeles, to young, but 6'6" tall. He wanted to get to know me. I am always amazed that a young man, this one age forty nine, would want to get to know someone my age. I know age is only a number and Desi says I don't look or act it, but maybe that is because I'm retarded. Ha.! So no, I'm not going to pursue that one for sure.
So that was today. Things are what they are an it is day by day.
