Despite Myself

Seeing mother off on another cruise.  Was mother more afraid of heights than I?  SS President Wilson leaving for an around the world voyage.  We peer over the railing.

The little black dress was a big hit last night.  I was a little put off when I put on a stunning, new coat over it and was told it made me look larger.  I was encouraged by the complements.  Never will I be that thin again as I did in my red coat, but my new, little black dress worked well.  I bet it serves me well for a lot of years.

I’ve been apologizing, it seems, for days.  Yes, I certainly shouldn’t have said that, I should never have gotten all wound up like that, I apologize, I apologize.  Goodness, where did all that stinking panic come from; nothing’s worth the huge fuss I made…shame on me.  Perhaps it was because I failed two tests for Alzheimer’s in the latest AARP magazine. 

So I step out of myself and the virago I have become to find my ISP, Internet Service Provider down.  It’s up, it’s down.  Sometimes all you can do is laugh and enjoy the little black dress.

It’s fuzzy, but certainly filled with laughter.  1980.

Himself:  Worked his tucsh off.  Teeth cleaned at the doc.  Got some of the pills we will need ordered at the docs, worked 8 hours, and went to a meeting.

Herself:  Puttered with love and was 3 points over my WW points limit again.  Got mending done.  List printed.  Some stuff is out to be packed.  Trying on clothes.

Reading:  Yesterday’s book is a keeper.  Two more go back to thhe store.

Balance:  Not thinking.  Smiling.
