So many things to do and so little time--before I
turn around it will be time to go to the airport to pick Allen up. It really
will be great to see him after two weeks but I have a load of things to get done
while I have his car 24/7.

Started off today going to a podiatrist--my first
time going to him--he was young and cute and, I guess, has a foot fetish--will
have to go back to see him soon!

Though I didn't have an appointment I stopped by my
primary doctor's office wanting to see where I/he stood with the shingles
vaccine--looks like I am no closer than I was April 23rd--well, at least he is a
good looking Hispanic man.

Next stop was to go to the car wash to get the car
cleaned up. There is a heavy layer of dirt all over it that I have been trying
to clean without any progress and even when it rained it didn't help but I
couldn't find the particular car wash that Allen has a card for so I will have
to find it tomorrow or Saturday.

After an hour of driving around looking for that
place I decided to go ahead and do my food shopping so I went to Publix and Winn
Dixie--each for different items though I had very little to buy as this week I
went to the Pantry, got my HMO dozen frozen dinners, etc.

Got home just as the skies turned dark but, once
again, the rain hit somewhere else. I did get to the breezeway to see the
hospital bed, bed tray, oxygen, etc., being taken from our breezeway friend's
apartment as she passed away this afternoon. A lovely lady, with a lovely
family, who will be missed.

This evening I made a list of all the places I have
to go and things to do such as checking Allen's place, getting his mail,
watering his plants, going to the movies, finding that car wash,hitting 3
doctor's offices, etc.  Who said retirement was easy?!?!?
