Another month come and gone in a wink and yet at times it felt quite long. Time is such a funny thing.
I spent almost three days of doing nothing! Mind you, Friday I felt the beginnings of a cold so I, for once, actually rested, drank lots of fluids and rested some more. One would think that by Saturday I would be up and at ’em. Nope. Spent the whole day in PJs and relaxing. Today? Tempting as it was, I did feel the necessity of removing a layer of stink off my skin! Though how much can you really stink by doing nothing? 😉 Can’t say I was overly productive today either. OK… Wasn’t even a bit other than making myself a fabulous breakfast! Oh, and a surprise visit from a friend. Toujours contente de te voir Mario! xoxo
Gratitude List
-
I Skyped with two of my blogger friends this week! It is great having the written repartee happening on our blogs or via email or Facebook but to talk face-to-face? Now that is very cool. Watch out folks, I’ve taken a liking to this method of communicating!!
-
As I don’t have a job per se, I was able to actually take the time to rest and get over my cold that much faster…
-
Always being a glass half-full-kind-of-person; instead of getting mad that I was not notified that my services were no longer required and that I was building up stock for nothing, I looked at the six meals sitting in my freezer as free nights for the boys and me.
-
Took my boys out on Monday night for sushi and a movie ~ went to see Mortdecai, which was surprisingly enjoyable and funny (even the boys thought so!)
-
Had lunch with my sisters and Dad’s widow, Susan, and realised just how lucky we are that we can get together at the drop of a hat. So happy we all make an effort to keep in touch with Sue.
-
Had supper with Patti, whom I hadn’t seen since she left for her honeymoon. Always great to catch up with a girlfriend and have someone to bitch and moan with. xoxo
Hurrah for Skype!
Hurrah for family…
Friends and chillin’!
See you later…
RRR

Great gratitude list. The trailer for Mortdecai seems to push me away rather than toward the movie. What did you like about it?

Thank. I seriously was worried it would be overly stupid (and I hate stupid) but, ridiculous as it was, it was still enjoyable. Can’t even explain. If you like Pink Panther movies, you should like this one. Depp has that Clouseau thing happening where he’s at the right place at the right time but disaster surrounds him…

That’s a great gratitude list Dale and yay for you for enjoying doing nothing. Doggy and I have been for our morning walk and now we’re just chillin’ in front of the fire.

Oh, what a beautiful poem and it’s just lovely with your photo! I wish I could bring you a big pot of chicken soup, or maybe something with a good bit of heat to incinerate every germ, virus or bug out of your system!
Feel better soon! 🙂

Thank you, kind Lady! I made my own chicken soup and sprinkled it with my son’s hot powder ! Double whammy!
Hopefully those germs don’t stand a chance!
