This is my morning to deliver half my
newsletter route in our senior mobile home community. I usually do 1/2 this
morning, very early, and 1/2 tomorrow morning very early. Normally this one
should only take me 3/4 hour but this morning, it took me twice that long,
1-1/2 hours, due to stiff legs and achy knees. Normally I do not have these
issues any longer because of healthier foods and habits but I think it’s
because I have been in and out and up and down stairs many many times the past
month or so for several reasons. For that reason, I did like the chance to make
those legs walk upright at a gentle steady pace.
By the time I finished at 7:30, the sun had been
already beating down on me for at least half an hour. I came in, freshened up,
and ran out to the store quick (litter and one or two other things), and headed
to Denny’s for my birthday Grand Slam breakfast freebie. No way I was going to
miss that!
Had to make sure I had enough for a tip but this year, for my
freebie tips, I decided to be “cute” and fold some dollar bills into my dollar
bill shirts (I tuck them into little baggies with labels that say “Genuine
BUCK-skin Shirt - Made in the U.S.A.). They really get a kick out of those. I
can’t fold any other kind of money thingie - I’ve tried rings, Christmas trees
- my dollar shirts look best.
Anyhow, I came home (brought half my pancakes with me, froze
that) and dealt with the litter. I ended up with a 21# bag which is almost as
tall as I am. I plopped that puppy on a folding stool and divided it into a
bunch of equal-sized tubs/buckets and I get 3 changes from that. Did one change
while I was still upright, put the rest into closet for rest of September and
half of October.
Then I showered and my body really really thanked me.
I even have a piece of birthday cake in here. Yesterday at
our charity crafter’s session, the only member there just about since we began,
Louise, brought over a little cake; she even gave some to our park staff, and I
had a small piece left to bring home. It’s calling me now. Thanks, Louise!
Now, my friends, I’m headed over to Facebook to say some
Thank You’s because it looks like some of you are being ever so sweet and
wishing me a happy day - love you! Hugs.
