Today Is Tuesday, August 1, 2023: This Is What Happened.

 

So far, the best thing about retirement. I have choices, although not where to go on a world trip. Today I chose to get down on my hands and knees and scrub my main bathroom floor
. Corners and all.
Took a short walk this morning. My right ankle is bothering me.

Now on my right ankle. I had this quarter horse, Dino. Who was over sixteen hands? I got on Dino bareback. He never had anyone on him bareback. It startled him; he flinched. I went into the air. Did a somersault in mid-air. And landed on my feet like a cat. Twist about my right ankle. It all swells up. Had an x-ray. They saw nothing at that time.

Oh, I mowed some of the lawn today. Plus went over to the senior center for lunch. We had mashed potatoes and meatloaf with gravy. And peas. Plus pineapple. They offer milk and juice. I skipped the milk.
On Tuesday and Friday, they have a food giveaway.
But we had to take care of other stuff as well in town. Get some auto oil and a filter. Return two books to our library.

Let's talk about one of the library books for a minute. My friend Lolita's book she got. Lolita hasn't been well, so I drop off her book. I don't recall the title. But as my husband was getting in getting oil and such. I stayed in pick up. Read a few pages at random of her book. Its genre was Christian after reading a few pages. I became irritated. What a bunch of male chauvinist pigs.

The other place we stopped was the gas station, got gas for the mower and rototiller. And stop at the grocery store.

Coffee is on, and stay safe.

  3. Thing is, the day or date doesn’t mean near as much when you’re retired. Yay!

  4. I can testify that injured ankles can come back to haunt you in later life.

  5. When I retired I started marking off each day on the calendar as the evening news came on TV, that way I never got mixed up.
