A nice surprise received yesterday. The news that we have the upcoming Monday off from work for Presidents Day. It wasn't on my mind. I hadn't been geared towards focusing my attention that way. It's not exactly like it's The 4th of July, Thanksgiving or Christmas. Like I said, A nice surprise!!
One week remaining before the latest milestone birthday, where an attitude adjustment will take place in my thinking of what number defines old age. WOW 60!! "Who woulda thunk it" to quote a Greg Brown song. It's a little funny but true that it really hasn't been on my mind much. Certainly not like the previous three milestones of 30, 40 and 50. It's all kinda snuck up on me.
One of my big frustrations these days is that these people at work like to either make or purchase these ultra lavish, multi layer, with thick frosting and fruity filling and drizzling cakes, often with coconut too. I keep telling them that I want a simple white cake with chocolate frosting like my mom used to make. Yet I can't tell them how to make it. And they don't seem to understand why I shy away from the super cakes. This seems especially relevant right now with a birthday approaching. May have to take matters into my own hands.
One good thing about growing older ..... At the rate it's going, by the time that I hit 75, these 95 and 100 degree days of summer that I dislike so much, will probably feel a bit nippy.
