So it’s been ages since I put anything down here…I almost forgot it even exists. Now I can’t think of anything to say. Merry Christmas and maybe I’ll think of something to say in another 5 years! LOL

Inspired by my oldest son, I’m going to attempt writing on my blog today…5-1/2 years after my last entry. I had to dig around for my password…it still worked so I guess I should change it now, right?
Where do I start? How about saying that I went out for a girls day yesterday with some dear friends from long ago. We spent the time sitting on the deck, drinking and reminiscing about the old days…just a small group of us doing the social distancing and being careful as required by the damn pandemic. 2020 has just been a lost and wasted year for everyone. That’s what made it so special and so fun! I haven’t laughed so hard for a very long time…I needed that and I appreciate being invited. I really hope that we can do it again soon, and next time maybe a few more people will be there…maybe we could do a potluck so we don’t drink all that wine without a little food first! On the other hand, it’s not a party unless someone celebrates a little too much (not stating names of course lol). I’m not really much of a drinker but I did have some. I’m not sure of the brand, but whatever kind it was, wasn’t bad at all.
So, even though I haven’t posted anything on here in over 5 years, I can’t think of much else to say for now. So I guess I’ll leave it at that for today. Maybe I’ll think of something else to say later. Love ya, bye for now…

Some days are definitely worse than others, and some days are better than that. I really do try to leave our world in a little better shape at the end of the day, than it was when I woke up that day…at least my small part of the world. When all is said and done and my number comes up, I did the best I could with the cards I was dealt…tried to be kind…lost my temper a time or 2 lol…. Everybody (including me) has something going on in their lives that may be difficult for them, and may need a little help from time to time… I was surfing and came across a web site called helpmeplease.com Has anyone ever seen this one? I started reading it and it actually got quite interesting. I learned something new today. …and remembered some things too. I was reading through almost everything on the site, and what was written there did kind of give me a different outlook on some things. I feel a little better anyway. Well, that’s all I have for now. SeeYa LoveYa Bye

It’s been 5 months since I even thought of writing anything on here. I’m sitting here watching the Datona 500 race…not really paying much attention to it though. I do enjoy watching Nascar from time to time, but it’s more like background noise when I’m feeling lazy and maybe ready for a nap on a Sunday afternoon.
A lot has been going on around here since I wrote last. I don’t really want to go into details, but Bill has been having some health issues. The people closest to us know what’s going on, so that’s all I’m saying.
Spring will be here soon (I hope). A month ago it was warm enough out to do a little yard work, so I cleaned off some dead flowers on the south side of the house. Since then it’s been cold and snowy. I did buy some new tires and tubes for my bicycle and Pat was nice enough to put them on for me, as well as making sure the shifters and brakes are working. Now if the weather would just cooperate…
I’m still cooking at the senior center. Trying new recipes once in a while, but can’t really experiment much there. Have to follow the menus that the manager makes up. I did learn how to make my mashed potatoes taste heavenly…good enough to make a whole meal out of just mashed potatoes lol.
I’ve been thinking about how to get myself a little more healthy…I don’t want to run, no interest in lifting weights, couldn’t handle zoomba…but when it warms up outside I plan to ride the bike and take more walks…maybe start doing yoga…that is if I can find a good app for the tablet (no yoga classes close around here).
Other than going to work and taking care of the hubby, not much else has been happening here. I haven’t seen much of the grandkids lately and sure do miss them. Maybe that will change when it gets warmer out and less chance of sicknesses being passed around.
I can’t think of anything else so I guess I’ll end this for today. To all my family and friends, I love you and miss you and hope to see you soon!

So, we had our yearly state inspection at work…the thing is…the lady looked at everything…AND COULD’NT FIND ANYTHING WRONG IN THE KITCHEN!!! I got a very good review, and she said I have a very clean kitchen! She said that she knows of another senior center with less people to feed every day…they have an assistant in the kitchen, and they don’t do as well as I do by myself. She told me that she likes how I just flow through the kitchen and I move like I mean business…I told her I move like there’s nobody in my way! She did find some things that the manager needs to fix, but nothing too serious…anyway, maybe now is a good time to ask for a raise!

Testing…testing…1…2…3. Seems to be working now.
