Happy FAT TUESDAY, or Shrove Tuesday. People doing buffets, all you can eat; dressing in costume; drinking to excess and needing bail money, etc. All this before having to don clothing made from burlap on Wednesday, ASH WEDNESDAY. Have a fulfilling day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Hello. Monday is here and so is this writer. Nothing planned for today. Maybe having a call with my tax people. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
I'm so over it! When I go to church on a Saturday afternoon, kids will be screaming and running around. I fail to see why these people come to church except to torture people such as this writer. I try to sit in the Mother's Room for quiet and meditation but it is no use. These people seek me out to make my life miserable. I keep thinking I can use this for a penance...... but it never ends. Screaming kids........ and staring at a pious man such as this writer. Is there no end to this!!! I shall use this for prayer and my Lenten abstinence.
Some Michigan history, 1956 a colony in THE NEW WORLD: Michigan Motorists Can No Longer Determine Their Own Speed Limit! On February 3, 1956 highway speed limits of 65 miles per hour by day and 55 by night went into effect in Michigan. Prior to this motorists could determine what was safe and reasonable. Just some light news for today.
Good morning. Happy Saturday. Auditing my refrigerator this morning, there is a glaring weakness of the product in my refrigerator, namely chocolate milk. I think I have enough for today. It shall be a game time decision on when to mount a safari to go out and get a refill. I have also come to the conclusion that my wrist is not getting better and that I believe it is carpal tunnel, or whatever they call it. I have heard of this situation in the past and people going under the knife to rectify the situation. I shall try to avoid that as long as I can function reasonably properly. I imagine everyone is getting pumped up for FAT TUESDAY. I noticed quite a few pages celebrating ASH WEDNESDAY. My understanding is that Her Majesty will not be having a contest for that. Outside of the job of the chocolate milk and going to church later, I shall be doing nothing. I have toyed with the idea of going to a pancake breakfast at the church tomorrow but then again, I would have to participate in something, and that is not my long suit. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Friday. It is about 41° F and that is the high for the day. The nice weather is coming to an end as far as our warm temperatures go. We will be getting back to normal as the earth is moving away from the Sun. The good temps will return when the Earth gets to the other side of the Sun. My agenda is fluid for today. Looking into a crystal ball, I see myself walking over to the convenience store for bananas. I am on my last banana right now. It looks terrible but the inside will be acceptable. I was hoping that my wrist would return to normal after taking off the sling. There are still some problems. One can only hope for the best. I went to church yesterday and almost turned around and went back home. As I entered the vestibule, I could see the inside of the church and there was someone sitting in my place. As Sheldon Cooper would say, you're in my spot! This is unheard of for a daily Mass. I eventually conquered my feelings of insecurity and went to a different area. I am going to find the reserve signs they use for funerals and hopefully it will eliminate all of my problems in life. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Greetings. Waiting for the rain at 3:45, and it is warm. 44*, heading for 55*. This is bordering on record temps for this time of year. The big project for today, take the recyclables out to the alley, if there is not anything on the TV. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Some pics from the walk yesterday. The one good thing about my changing times to daylight is I can see some things not seen in the dark. Live long and prosper.
Spring is people having the garden up to par.
This will be here all year without taking decor down.
Happy Monday in February. I am pondering coffee this morning as it has been 2 months since I have indulged. I hope the coffee maker works although I have a new one in case of an emergency. Nothing planned except a walk later, maybe to Walmart for a price check, or maybe even a couple of purchases. Undecided. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Happy Sunday. Once the sun came out yesterday, it was glorious. Nothing planned for today. Maybe a walk. I see frost on my windshield of the car so I'm not interested in going to the store for some imaginary need. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
Good morning. Happy Saturday. The day, although it is still dark, is starting at 33* and will get up to 43*F. It is January. My day at the beach yesterday turned out rather cool. Ice on the river and my hands turning red from the temps. River was also too low to swim as the locks are open all the way South. Today my schedule is for church at 4 and maybe a walk. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
I went to the beach today. It is supposed to be 50*F but instead, 30*. The river is way down as the locks are open all the way south. I did not even open the beach blanket. It felt cold as my hands turned red. Humbug! I took the groundhog's word this morning for the early spring.
Good morning. Happy February. A little oddity this year as the month of February has 29 days. There's also another oddity, Valentine's Day falls on ASH WEDNESDAY. I wonder how old the good Christians will celebrate Valentine's Day on that day. I remember a similar situation at a company I was working at. A company function at an auditorium with over 3000 people. It happened to be on a Friday and they were serving dinners with meat. Somehow they got special dispensation from the bishop for Catholics to be able to eat meat on that Friday. Of course I saw the same thing on Saint Patrick's Day. Hopefully you have all of your calendar pages changed. I got up early this morning to accept the challenge of turning all three calendars. I was able to preview them and noticed I have nothing formidable coming up. Undecided on a schedule for today. After a rigorous schedule yesterday of starting the day off and Walmart, then church, and finally a 2 mile walk. I wanted to get to the beach but for various reasons I was unsuccessful. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
