“When God says you’re ready, it does not matter where you are in life.” – Carlos Wallace<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven hours of sleep felt so good.\u00a0 Was it the G&T’s at the Elks or the red-light suggestion from our light-bulb company.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter; I got some sleep. It’s 6:30 AM and time to get up!<\/p>\n

The girls called me within an hour of each other.\u00a0 First Colleen, and that’s where I get my laughs.\u00a0 She and Mark are a beautiful couple.\u00a0 They lighten up my morning!\u00a0 Then Lisa called because they were planning to come up and stay with me, but we decided because of all the goings-on, they ought to remain in San Diego.\u00a0 Then Robin called, and we just chattered about life in general.\u00a0 She calms the waters.\u00a0 I got an email from Michele, but she has her hands full with her birth mother.\u00a0 Joe called a little later in the day!\u00a0 I love my kids; I do!<\/p>\n

We used to go to formal dances all the time and enjoyed them.\u00a0 New tuxedo’s and new gowns, yeah!\u00a0 What the heck am I going to do with five tuxedos?\u00a0 Donna is going to inherit Sue’s gowns as they are the same size and liked similar styles.\u00a0 Below is Sue and me on the Queen Mary at the Art Deco Ball a few years back. We are in the Observation Bar observing!<\/p>\n

Enjoying life, not knowing things would soon change.<\/p><\/div>\n

I tore down some plastic\/fiberglass lath a few months ago and two weeks ago put it out front, hoping someone would take it.\u00a0 The plastic was in great shape.\u00a0 Well, after two weeks of no takers, me and ol’ trusty Makita cordless saber-saw cut them into small pieces.<\/p>\n

After that episode, I went in and cooked myself a big steak, which will keep me filled for the rest of the day!\u00a0 I plan to stay in my jeans and the black sweatshirt so I will not be going anywhere this evening.\u00a0 I turned down a surprise birthday party as I was not in the partying mood.<\/p>\n

I cannot sit still, so I got into the office and went through every drawer and tossed out stuff like there was no tomorrow.\u00a0 It felt good.\u00a0 The last of the CD’s went bye-bye.\u00a0 Reminded me when I threw out the last of the 8-track tapes and the last of the 78 records.<\/p>\n

The Silver Ghost was hungry, so I took him up to the 76 station to get his tummy full.\u00a0 He is happy now.\u00a0 I thought to myself, why not go to the market and see if it has recovered.\u00a0 It was a little better; the crazies are gone.\u00a0 I got two more steaks, some chicken and beef broth, some tomato paste, and some blue cheese.\u00a0 I am still on the prowl for cabbage which I need by Thursday.<\/p>\n

Tonight I cooked up Blue Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts and had it with some salad I got yesterday.\u00a0 No receipts today, I just followed a YouTube video I saw a few days pack form memory.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The blue cheese was amazing and I mixed in a bit of cooked asparagus (hence the green)!<\/p><\/div>\n

Who needs to go out to eat when the home-cooked food is superb, and it feels like being home.\u00a0 Oops, I am at home!<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, I began to watch a new series, well, at least new to me, called “Salvation”.\u00a0 So far it is pretty good.\u00a0 However, I find myself looking to my right every few minutes expecting to see Sue watching TV with me.\u00a0 It’s going to be a habit not easy to break after so many years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Did You Know: When it is discovered that an enormous asteroid is just six months away from colliding with Earth, MIT grad student Liam Cole and tech billionaire Darius Tanz team up to save humanity from this impending apocalypse — without ever alerting the public. As part of the project, Darius recruits an aspiring sci-fi writer, Jillian, to work on a theoretical approach to saving humanity. While they try to save the world their way, the government has its own approach, with Deputy Secretary of Defense Harris Edwards spearheading the top-secret plan to deflect the asteroid.<\/div>\n

Finally, it was time to call it a day and I didn’t even go check on the computer!\u00a0 In bed by 10:30 PM and no more TV.\u00a0 On went the red light, one went CoastToCoastAM, and down came the eyelids.<\/p>\n

2:30 AM and I heard something, it was rain!\u00a0 The hard rain was somehow soothing so I\u00a0 left the door slightly ajar.\u00a0 Back to sleep until 6:30 AM!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
