God. Thank you for letting me awaken to see a new day.

Two days off, counting yesterday.  

A wonderful hour long massage yesterday. Thank you Patty for the gift certificate. 

Getting turned around at the Mall as my bus stop got switched to the other side of the building.  Because of this, I got plenty of walking in and made my 10,000 step goal.  It was fun to look at all the stores in the Mall and also had a good meal after my massage. 

My son, two brothers and a brother’s wife and my niece went up to the cemetery on Saturday to pay respects to our parents.  Happy 109th birthday in Heaven, Pops.  We had dinner together after we left the cemetery.  I am so grateful to have my siblings alive and son living close  and family living locally so we can get together. 

A nice bath with Epsom salts last night.  Much needed.

The sun is out!  It is only 46 degrees but it is still good. :)

Good music and good books. 

Another sober and nicotine free day.  

We lost an employee from another department to lung cancer recently. He was a wonderful employee and friend.  He would jump in and help anybody, not matter what department you worked in.  He got sober and quit smoking years ago and remained that way till his death.  I am grateful to have known him all these years and the many, many conversations we had.  RIP Randy.

Waking up slowly this morning.  I love days off when I can do that and I can gradually start my day.

  1. Hubby was tested for lung cancer in February. Sorry about your friend.
    Sounds like a good break!
