I Have Been Admonished

I have actually been admonished twice in the past week for not writing more on my blog, so I guess I had better write something. See? I wrote something, now leave me along.

Okay, okay, I'll write some more. We have been kind of busy lately. We bought a house in Webster, NY. (Mosey on over to the right side of the blog to click on to my link to Flickr where there are pictures posted.) We signed a contract. The closing won't be until sometime in May. Now we wish our buyers would get their house sold so that they can buy our house. We don't want to be real estate moguls for very long.

We also went to a funeral earlier this week for Scott, the husband of a former co-worker, Laura. He was 60 and had prostate cancer. Way too young to die. I feel badly for her. They were so happy together.

I also had two doctor appointments this week, one with my GP and one with my cardiologist. Both pronounced me in fine fettle although I got an A- for my cholesterol. It seems my LDL (bad) is 85 and the Doc wants it to be 77 or lower. So, it looks like I have to cut back on eating cholesterol. After that I had a nice lunch with a good friend and I don't think I ate too many LDLs then.

In the meantime we have been sorting through more stuff and packing. Didn't I say this before? Well, it never ends. Our house doesn't look cluttered, but when you go to put the things in boxes, it seems like we have way too much. It has been suggested that we try Craig's List to sell some things. Not being a child of the modern era, I am somewhat hesitant to try to sell things over the internet. I guess I should check it out because it has been reported to us that people sell all sorts of things on it, even cars.

Today is Anne's birthday. The weather certainly was magnificent. This afternoon we went for a walk on the Boardwalk in Point Pleasant with friends Angela and Bob and had dinner with them at the Wharfside. Many people had the same idea to walk on the Boardwalk and when we arrived at the restaurant we thought that they also decided to have dinner there judging by the number of cars. But, not so. I don't know where they all were, but we were seated right away and had an enjoyable meal.

Tomorrow is Saturday. For some reason I thought this past Thursday was Saturday. [Don't say anything.] Well, I mean I don't have to know what day it is unless it's Wednesday when I have to put out the trash, or Friday when I have to put out recycling, or Sunday when we go to church. The other days are fairly interchangeable. That was one advantage of going to work. I usually knew what day it was and I didn't show up on Saturday or Sunday. It's funny how my mind still thinks of Monday as the end of the weekend and looks forward to Friday as the beginning of the weekend. Now that we are well into the weekend I will have plenty to do until Monday arrives and I have plenty more to do.
