Hello, Monday

As I've said before, Mondays hit differently when you're retired -- it's a favorite day of the week.  Something about a fresh start, a nice new calendar sheet, mini refocus.  I like it.

Yesterday was the big move for the kids.  Mostly went well.  They decided to let the movers take 2 large wall art pieces that are expensive and sentimental to my son's gf -- even though I suggested a few times to move them in a car.  Both got damaged so now it's a big thing.  Lesson learned, I suppose.  My suggestion came from lots of moving experience (i.e. listen to you mother!!).  Otherwise, it's good -- long day, but they're settled enough to live there.

I finished listening to Michelle Obama's book -- loved the book.  Still not a fan of audio.  By the end I was over listening to a book -- reading is faster.  But if you like audio, this was probably a top choice.  It's spoken very well and doesn't feel like she's reading -- more like an excellent talk (10 hour talk though).

Painted next in Sesame Street collection.   Looks a little wonky in the photo -- colors aren't showing up well.  Back says, "Hola. Tu eres mi amiga."



Suppose to lunch and shop with my girlfriend today.  She's my cancel friend and, while lunch is still on, I think shopping is off because of rain (based on her text last night -- not completely sure).  But I know her and I had a backup Monday plan so whatever works for me.  It's been a good solution to stop getting my panties in a bunch when she cancels, changes, postpones, etc.  

Planning a run at the park today before the heavier rain moves in -- Duke will be excited to get out.  We were gone a long time yesterday and he was bummed to stay home.

Hope this is a happy Monday for you.  Later gators.
