Catching up....

Saturday afternoon I went to Sterling to watch Felicia's softball games. She had 2, one at 4:45 and one at 6:30. Lost one and won one. Then we went to TGI Fridays for dinner. I, of course, got lost because it was dark and I get disoriented easily and I didn't really know where I was going. Thank God for cell phones or whoever is responsible for them because I'd probably still be going around in circles.

Anyway, made it home by 10 PM and played on my computer and went to bed.

Sunday AM her first game was at 8:00 and the second at 11:30. I made it to the second game. Couldn't quite get moving any earlier. They lost both games. Better luck next time.

While there, Deb asked Cassidy (not quite 4 yrs. old) if she'd like to go to Winchester after the games to visit her grandpa who just got out of the hospital. She looked up so seriously and said "okay but I don't want to see him, I want to see the baby." At first we didn't know what she was talking about but then it dawned on us that she has only known people coming home from the hospital with a baby. She was so cute and took some convincing that this was definitely not the case. But she went along anyway just to make sure.

Monday I went on an estimate in Arlington to strip some wallpaper and prime the walls for painting. Today the lady called and said that I could start the job next week.

I also picked up wallpaper at Washington Interiors for a job that I agreed to do in Alexandria on Saturday. I'm already stripping and rehanging paper on Thursday and Friday so it looks like business is picking up, at least for now.

Now I'm torn about accepting too much work because it sure is nice not working every day. Guess I'm either spoiled or just getting too old. Need to work some to be able to eat and buy gas. SS check only covers my charge cards.

Today I was over at Nancy's weeding her front yard and cleaning up a barrel in her backyard that was falling apart. Also turned the ringer up on her phone because she couldn't figure out how to do it. Hope someone is around to help me with things when I am no longer able to tend to myself. We'll see !!!
