Yikes!

Georgia, Georgia, the whole night through. . .No, I'm not in a Ray Charles mood, that is the font (type face) I am using. Like it and Garamond a lot.

Why Yikes? I was just browsing www.lala.com and listed a few more discs and Bam! 4 people want them. Cool. It was within seconds, well, a few minutes.

What's up recently? Cat sitting. Worked well, except I overslept one day and had to gradually work back to the regular schedule of 8 & 8. Orbi hid in the closet but Sola was friendly and vocal and sat on me for an hour or two. M says she is calmer when I've been there. Nice, but I think he is flattering me.

Church doings are doing. I continue to be amazed the way people treat each other in church. Not during the service, but in dealings relating to matters related. If God was the HR director, most of them, and me included, would be out on my ear. And I'm one of the ones who tries! This merits a Yikes!

Sank into a funk this weekend partially because of anti-allergy meds, partially 'that ol' devil depression'. I slept most of Saturday but bounced back Sunday, for the most part.

Sunday was the alternative St. Pat's parade in Queens. Was going to go, but decided to stay home and do scanning. I did finish February and loaded it onto a disc, copy for M, copy for T.
April will be for tomorrow. It takes about 3+ hours from start to finish but now I see the plan unfolding for a prospectus. T is writing the copy, M is formatting and I am wracking the brain to write a coherent, persuasive introduction.

The intro gives me a bad flashback to trying to write my law school essay. After 4 hours of no inspiration, I realized I didn't want to be a lawyer at all, so I tore up the applications and threw them in the garbage. And this was a Very Good Thing.

Monday - back to counting. The office was locked and I was tired, so risked the Wrath of IAS, didn't photocopy the checks and just went to the bank. What with cat duty at 8:30, $$$ from 9-12, I was so over my responsibilities! Went to Jahn's for brunch -diet turkey burger plate, then home to tidy up for the cleaning lady.

Monday 7 - meeting of Film Festival group. Bryan runs a mean meeting. We were out by 8:40. Chris brought Malcom who was a real hit with everyone. He is a cutie pie and a nice peaceful baby from what Chris says. Rita, Barrie & I went to Novo for music. Kisses and Coronas all around. Ricky Castro came in, I mentioned to Barrie he has a coop for sale. Upshot, we finished eating & drinking and went to look at Ricky's. Home by 10!

Today up with a call from Velma. I had called her at work yesterday, but had the week messed up - she goes back Next week. Good chat, then shower to get ready for Martha and out to Bernie. Temps in the single digits, so thermal underwear, many layers and I was ready. Good session in FH. I wasn't surprised given the topic and I felt much better talking it out.

Off to Sears for Blue Tape, caulking and paint remover. What a bummer. Only tape. So back to JH and LI Janitor Supply, a really strange store, but they had caulking and at least some labels to read of stripper. What I really want to find is a 'Dip and Strip' place for the doors. Jim H. and I are both looking so I said I'd do some posting and calling around, then pool info.

Msbelle asked me to shepherd MAC to Super Soccer in April. No problem if I am here, and as of the moment, I have no plans.

I sent an email to the Building and Grounds Committee with Green Rose's proposal attached and a plea for approval of the work. I called my favorite editor, LD for help. She cleaned it up and vastly improved it. Hope it works. D & I view the pruning as a priority, esp. the trees that seem to have dead limbs. Sounds like a no brainer, but committees being what they are..

Lunch tomorrow with FRB, tea, church, then down to Novo for the first night of Brazilian Music. Frankly I don't know diddily about it, but Nathan and Jim are going to play and I've heard the singer before and thought she was good. Besides, there might be a steak down there with my name on it.

Someone asked me why I had a blog. I think it is so I won't let the days drift by. Retirement can do that to you.
