Time for an update

 I know it is time to touch base; however, not much is going on for me, and quite frankly, I am okay with that. 

I am playing pool every day at 1:00. That will change when more of the guys get here and fill up the pool hall. Then I will have to stick with Mondays and Tuesdays and find different slots of time on the other days. I know I can play with the men, and I am not opposed to it, and playing now and then is okay, but I can't see making a habit of it.

I planned on going to Mexico today with Gina and Carl, and then somebody opened the door to the northern tundra. Dropping from 95 down to 49 is nobody's idea of fun. Two days ago, the AC was working overtime, and today the furnace is doing the same. Oh, what a puzzling world we live in!

Today, my plan is to get trivia info up and running for the first official event next Tuesday night at 6:30 PM in the Main hall. Renie has agreed to step in and help train a new scorekeeper. It will be fun having her help me get started.

I really like pineapple! So the other day at the grocery store, I picked up some Pineapple soda on a whim. That purchase has led to a discovery. I have drunk 3 of the six that I purchased. I chose to indulge each of them at my supper meal. Every time I did was followed by a "multiple-trips-to-the-bathroom" night. I do not know if it is the chemicals or the carbination, or something else. The lesson is learned! Anyone want a Pineapple soda? I have 3 that are up for grabs.

I DID IT!

 This Sunday morning, I arose at my usual time of 6:00AM, waited till it was light outside, and ventured forth to the streets of Alamo, Texas, in my car! First stop was the Blue Wave Car Wash. After the windshield was replaced, they advised not to expose it to high-powered water for at least two days. I happily obliged because I didn't want to anyway. 😇 I waited till Sunday morning because traffic is much lighter than on any other day of the week. I am proud to announce that I washed the car, purchased groceries, and returned to my South Texas home without incident.

Most of the people who know me also know it has been a very long time since I drove anywhere. However, this past summer, I worked hard to get back to the confident driver I once was. Butch loved to drive, and I loved to let him. This is but one of the many changes that long-married couples deal with when one passes. I told myself I would do it when I had to, and now I have to. Done Deal!
