Ted saw me crouched over a mass of papers and scribbles and
bank statements and took pity on me. If I kept monthly
records I would not be in this shape getting ready to send
the whole thing to my lawyer who is a friend and my accountant. He has seen to it that I am organized in case
of my inevitable demise by establishing a living trust. Ted
decided I needed a treat so he took me to Applebees and I
had a Philly B urger with fries and he had sesame chicken.
I had Sangrea and he had a bloody Mary. They were both
delicious. Snow is forcast for tomorrow so we picked up
milk and a few groceries. I also got one of those 3 compartment crockpots with a warming tray for hot foods and
a new crockpot. My old one is falling apart.

There is lovely music coming from the family room. I had to
check and it is the prelude to a depressing movie about
global warming. I don't do depressing. I have become so
much more compassionate in the last ten years. I don't even
like movies where there is suffering or books that detail
it. Why make yourself unhappy?

Ellie was absolutely stir crazy so I guess she is more
content now. We are going to do Bobby's birthday next
weekend because of the weather. It is supposed to calm
down by then but regardless of weather, I will walk over
and take him his present Tuesday. He and my cousin share
Feb. 8th. I am going to give him some grilling accessories
and a gift certificate to Best Buy.

Life is good!
