I need to look!

What the heck.  Here I am retired and everyday this week I need to look at my calendar to see what I have going for the day.  This is supposed to be a "free and easy" kind of life yet here I am saddled to "what do I HAVE to do today".  Of course I am kind of joking as there can be NO complaints if you are scheduled for a needed Dr. appt or an appt with a financial person or even a hair cut.  Perhaps I should contain my "complaints" to things like I need to go out and buy a walker or cane or I need to check out the local nursing home.  I WANT TO ADD NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE ON MY AGENDA AT THIS TIME.  As I looked at the schedule for today Terry has an AM appt. and the two of us have a PM appt and that is it for today.  TOMORROW is a different story as we get several things done before our mini trip this weekend.
I had a "mundane" day yesterday and then it all came to me this morning.  As I got the FP coffee pot ready for the morning I realized I DID NOT MAKE any FP yesterday as there were still dry grounds in the pot waiting for hot water.  It then came to me that yesterday, just before I was to make my morning java I decided to go to the courts and practice my serve and then when I returned I forgot.  That could be a red flag when I forget my FP so I will stay tuned to my mind set!
As I ride my bike around trying to get miles on to rehab my leg it seems like each day there are fewer and fewer cars parked in the car ports.  Of course that means summer is almost upon us and the people who have north homes are hurrying away before the humid season hits here.  Our weather has been dry dry but that will change soon.
Terry and I went over to some friends, Betty/Carmen, yesterday afternoon as they are leaving for Michigan Thursday.  They needed some help in eating some of their food before they left!!!  Betty is 85 and Carmen 82.  It seems like they are in good health but this is the first time their family insisted they NOT drive but rather fly back home.  Perhaps that signals that a time is coming where they will turn over their home here to other family and remain in Michigan year around.  They have a son who lives on Lake Minnetonka in the Twin Cities.  For 85 Betty is remarkable in what she does.
I have only about a tablespoon of FP left which means it is time to be up and about for the day.
