\u00a0<\/p>\nEstimated reading time: 2 minutes ### Words<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My internal alarm clock woke me up at 5:30 am and said, “Get your butt up and do NOT go to sleep!” Ok, I got up and tiptoed to the office, hoping I wouldn’t wake her nibbs (Mary or Oreo). I worked on the Daily Diary for a while, and at 6:55 am I shot out of the house in the Silver Fox. Since I was going over to Los Amalitos, you never know whether it is a 15-minute or 60-minute drive. One freeway accident or someone changing a tire could make a 45-minute difference!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I departed, I took a picture to the West as the weatherman (also known as the Weather-Guesser) said rain today! The sky looked pretty good!<\/p>\n\n\n

Rain or no rain, that is the question!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Today’s trip took a whole 17 minutes! No traffic, no accidents, no tire changing! I was whisked right into the office and Dr. Sidney Newman and I enjoyed a 45 minute session of politics and medical conditions. I love my Dermatologist! He is an amazing man! We also discussed “age”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did almost everything except:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Waited Tables: Does serving Mom and Dad at meals count as waiting tables?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does working in the garage with my father count as a gas station?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does making hamburgers and hot dogs at family gatherings count as fast food?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"
I did most of everything<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When I checked in, I was amazed by how thick my file was. I guess after thirty years this was to be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mary called and warned me about an accident on the 22 East,so I stopped for a breakfast sandwich at McDonald’s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got back home at 9:15 am and Mary put me to work!! We mostly watched Oreo but she is about done with her recovery!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Does the word “Spoiled” come to mind???<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In the afternoon, after it rained, we worked on the patio; I planted and pulled up weeds while Mary say in the lounge chir barking orders!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
