Rainy Day Notes

Rainy day Sunday notes .....

• It's amazing how picking up one pair of dirty socks and transferring to the proper place in the laundry room can transform the look and vibes of the living room.

Additional Monday evening note ....

• Woke up after a three-hour evening nap on the couch and a bad dream, thinking it was Saturday and I could sleep in tomorrow morning. After ten blissful seconds, realized that something was wrong ..... "Oh it's Monday."
• And the bad dream mentioned? It was about a friend, who I have unspoken feelings for and who suddenly (in the dream) and without saying anything, upped and moved to California.
• Less than ten days now before I attempt to gracefully turn the age that probably 98% of the people who express opinions, consider to be 'old age.' ....... and on a related but unrelated note, the estimate for getting my car back from the body shop, is the day after. 
• Did the math again, just in case I've been under an erroneous assumption all these years. YEP,....2026 minus 1956 equals 70 years old. Maybe I ought to check my birth certificate to make sure the 1956 is correct.

Regarding the upcoming 70th birthday. I've spent the past year thinking, "Bring it on!! Let's get it over with!! I welcome 70!! I'm proud of it!" Now that it's almost here, I badly want to delay and postpone it. Or wake up from a dream and realize that I'm actually turning 30. And from what little I recall, 30 may have been more dreaded. But once it had passed, I felt like I had suddenly gained immense amounts of wisdom. So I'm hoping 70 holds some sort of side benefit like that.

Edit to add:

One week later, additional Monday (2/16) and raining again note .....

• Funny how a quick stop to have the air pressure professionally checked on tires can cause you to feel like you are driving a new car. (I may have mentioned that before.)
