Time is flying by, unlike when I was a child and eagerly
anticipating some event.

I am going to pick up Bobby and go to the highschool to
witness Adrienne getting yet another honor. She lettered
in academia or in band and will get one of seven letter
jackets being handed out. That child has had a fantastic
senior year and I am so happy that Bobby has gotten to
witness it.

I am always trying to think up appetizing food for
Bobby's lunches. Today I am going to add chicken to
some minestrone and season it and see what happens.

I am starting on fall house cleaning and am going to
attempt the return air vent cleaning this weekend. This
is always a messy job. It ranks right up there with
cleaning mini blinds. I will touch up the paint on
the white cabinets in the kitchen and clean corners
as best I can. I had a woman helping me with house work
but I began to miss a lot of small items and decided to
economize and do it myself. I am handicapped by getting
tottery on ladders now, as most of the elderly are.
I tried to find a grout pen at the local hardware store
but will have to search farther afield.

Rex still needs an adjustment to the little watch that
I am certain he has hidden somewhere. The minute it gets
good and dark, he starts pressuring for bedtime company.
His joints are a little better and he is able to jump
more easily. When it first began to get cold, he got
very stiff and his right leg seemed weak. I love big
dogs but hate to see them getting joint problems so
early in life. Adequon shots continue to help him.

Getting old is never easy. Sometimes I feel that I have
lost me or what makes me a unique human being in the
everyday minutia of life. I am thinking vacation
instead of therapy.
