How did I lose Monday??

Well, Monday was hectic.  My daughter and I went looking for the perfect flowers for Jim’s grave.  Fresh flowers are not an option as I want something that will last for a while.  My friend Jo keeps an eye out and does put flowers out occasionally on the grave for me.  Jo lived across the street from me for over 40 years.  Our children grew up at the same time, although her kids are a few years older than mine.  I could always count on Jo if I needed someone to help me in a pinch.

After the flower hunting we went to Kohl’s where I purchased new knee pants and a T to match.  I really don’t need any summer clothes as I have an over abundance right now.  The weather was very windy and warm.  By the time I got home I was out of the mood to do anything.

My first friend I met here has been diagnosed with cancer.  I felt poleaxed when she told me.  She has surgery scheduled for June 10th.  A dear blogging friend has breast cancer surgery scheduled for June 11th and my brother in law in West Virginia will begin his chemo on June 12th.   It has been almost 1 year to the day since I received my cancer diagnosis.  My mind is boggled by all of this and I sometimes wish I had a place to go where I could just shut my eyes, say a prayer and the word cancer wouldn’t  exist anymore.
 
It is beautiful today, to climb to the mid 80s.  I am making a Kroger run this morning to get a few things I am out of.  A few things in my case always means a minimum of 50 or 60 dollars.  Why do the stores put all of this stuff out in the aisles to tempt us?  I can’t resist a bargain so I am hooked.

Time for me to quit procrastinating and get moving.

Stay safe and be happy!!

Rainy Monday Morning…

We are in line for storms here through Wednesday.  The power was off sometime  during the night as everything is flashing here this morning.  It is 66 degrees this morning and to reach the upper 80s today.

I have quite a few errands to run this morning so I will be out and about for awhile.  Then I will settle in to watch the final phase of the Arias trial.

I hope you all have a lovely peaceful week.  Stay safe and be happy!!

Another Monday morning…

and the sun is shining brightly.  It is 49 degrees now and is to reach the upper 70s today.  I am all prepared as I dug out a pair of jeans capri pants to wear today and an old Curves T-shirt. 

The Jodi Arias trial is winding down now.  Closing arguments will begin on Thursday.  After this trial is finished I have made up my mind not to watch any trials for awhile.  They are too mind-boggling.  And I need my mind to be un boggled.

Monday Madness…

prevails here this Monday morning.  The washing machine in our area has totally bit the dust and a new one ordered.  It has been over a week now and nothing yet.  So my daughter was kind enough to allow me to take my laundry over to her house this morning.  That took care of the morning.  I do hate lugging laundry around as it is a big pain in the wazoo.

*****

Idiom

up the wazoo, to an extreme degree or in great abundance:  She's got problems up the wazoo.

I am still reeling over my auto repair but I am not in a hurry to buy a different car.  I hate to think of a new car having to sit out with the bird poopiedoop and the dust blowing on it.  So I will hold off on that as long as necessary. No one is to lay a finger on the window controls.

It is a lovely clear cool day to get into the mid 70s.  I am enjoying every minute of it and I hope you all are too.

Stay safe and be happy!!
