Don’t know where to start

I have lots of thoughts floating through my head, I’m not sure where they begin or end. Let’s just say it’s been an interesting week… other ramblings…

Judy’s service was very touching, her husband and daughter gave eulogies that really tugged at our heart strings. I don’t think there was a dry eye among us. Afterwards, we had lunch at Green Valley Ranch’s buffet. GVR was Judy’s favorite casino; an afternoon of max bet penny slots brought her great joy, and more times than not, good fortune. She was also an avid golfer and bowler. She will be missed.

I’ve noticed that it’s getting dark much earlier these days. It serves as a reminder that fall is right around the corner. Perfect temperatures are near.

The last few years we’ve traveled to Mexico in December to escape the chill for a week, but a trip this year doesn’t look too promising. Originally airfare was sky high, but it has come down quite a bit recently. However, it doesn’t look like we can spare the expense unless the condo miraculously sells.

Start of football is around the corner. Ahh, lazy Sunday’s in front of the tube. It looks like I’ll be trying my luck and skill in a couple fantasy leagues this year. That should be fun.

Frank’s off to Phoenix for the weekend, he’s due back Tuesday. Meanwhile, I’ll be hanging at the house with his parents. Sunday, we’ll visit my mom.

This morning I decided to put an end to my procrastination and I made doctor appointments. I’ll go tomorrow for a long over due check up. About a year ago, I was instructed to have my blood pressure monitored. I’m terrible; I’ve neglected to do so, until now. Then, next Saturday I have an eye exam. My eyes haven’t been checked since I was fifteen. Back then, I was told I have astigmatism and my sight was less than perfect. I tried contacts, but I couldn’t get the damn things in my eyes. I recall having several fittings because my eyes would swell shut from trying to jab the contacts into my eyes. Needless to say, they were a complete waste. After a week of trying at home I gave up for good. Hopefully, I’ll have better luck or more patience this time around.

I think that's about it. Have a great weekend!
