This has been the nicest day so far. I have received phone calls, flowers, Facebook wishes, emails and cards celebrating my birthday. The sun is shining and it is only to be 82 today. Perfect birthday weather!
I am fixing dinner tonight for my three guests, Kathy, Tim, Ellexia and myself. It will be fun to eat together. I enjoy cooking once in a while and the guys especially will appreciate a home-cooked meal.
My guys told me last night they are no longer keeping guns in their rooms when they aren’t here. I had told them they could but I would need to keep their rooms locked. They decided to keep them with them instead. How very considerate of them to do that.
We sat and visited for over two hours last night. They both treat me with much respect and are very considerate in many ways. I am so glad I took a chance and allowed them to stay long-term.
One of the matches from Match.com ask for my phone number and we sent texts back and forth last night and he called me this morning to wish me Happy Birthday. He lives in CO so not sure this is going anywhere but it is fun to see what happens. He was most uncomfortable when I told him I never locked my house even when I am alone. He had trouble understanding me letting strange men come stay in my house. Not sure he will get passed that.
Got asked to go out for coffee by another match. This one feels like it will be more of a friendship than a romance but I’ll see what happens. I can always use more friends.
Pulled a trash sack full of weeds out of my front flower bed this morning. It was good to get my hands in the dirt. They pulled easy thanks to the rain we got Sunday. Still have more to pull but my trash can is full.
One of the phone calls I have received today was from one of my aunts. Come to find out she takes the same blood thinner I no longer take and she was getting ready to switch to something cheaper. I quickly packaged up my leftovers and dropped them in the mail to her. So happy I found a good home for them instead of having to throw them out. Her timing was perfect!
Have my housecleaning chores done for the day so only need to get dinner organized later. I am fixing an easy oven dinner and it won’t take long to get things ready to cook. Haven’t decided if I am going to fix a dessert or not. Not sure I have what I need to fix one and forgot to pick stuff for a dessert when I was at the grocery store yesterday. I’ll have to dig around the kitchen and see what I can come up with.
Anxious to see how big my Social Security deposit is tomorrow. They were to have deducted my Medicare and prescription premiums from my check starting last month and that didn’t happen so they may take two months worth out of this check. I pay more per month now than before but have a much lower deductible and will come out way ahead at the end of the year. It is nice to be 65!
Grateful for all the love being shown to me today in many different ways, grateful for the possibilities Match.com is bringing my way, and grateful I found a home for my medication so I didn’t have to throw them away.
