Oh thank you...it happens!im sorry you had a bad night ,
Allergies and weather changes affect my thyroid and adrenals, and messes up my sleep.
It passes and I'll survive; I (thankfully) have the luxury of just going along with it in my retirement

I forgot to mention the other day when we went to the museum.....
In MA seniors can get discounts in restaurants etc; some places do it for age 55, others at age 60....most at age 65, so we often forget to ask.
At the museum the clerk ASKED US IF WE WANTED A DISCOUNT
Boy did that feel weird (OLD), because my mother did it all the time when she went out .......but it was great for the wallet
We must be more diligent in remembering to ask in the future

I get mail from convalescent homes letting me know they are there for me. lol... I'm glad you had a good time at the museum.. sorry you didn't sleep well last night.
I sure hope I'm able to live in a house by myself as I age... I don't want to go to a home....

think we have to,
I never got that from homes...just AARP at age 55 and now I get LIFELINE ADS
Thanks...we did have a lovely day
I have these nights every so often; I am used to it, but it is hard when I have plans the next day and am not feeling up to it.
Thankfully we are just kicking back today!
We pray we can stay in our own home also!
They eat up all your savings,and most of the real nice ones are too expensive anyway (as we found with my MIL)
As we have seen with our parents, God will provide
Well, I better get my butt in gear and get ready, so we can walk before the rain comes in
Be back later ~ have a nice day

have a nice sunday everyone.. the weather is pleasant here, I have a job and my bills are paid... why do I feel off lately... ??? somewhat fearful... what causes that? wish it would go away. feels like everyone is either talking about me or talking down to me... not a good feeling at all... I keep withdrawing further and further... made a new friend lately but she just keeps asking question after question... I really do not like that... I have plenty of things about myself I don't want to share... why does it seem sooo necessary to people to know as much as possible about me?... and why does everyone I befriend want to fix me up with their dad or brother or ugly cousin?... I am perfectly capable of finding a boyfriend on my own... This girl in particular has designs on me for her dad... i am soooo not interested in her father ... lol but she then wants to know who I am seeing and can she meet him... uuuuu no...

lol uuuuu no...
not talking about my love life here or anywhere else for that matter. that's totally a girl thing cause men never ask and it's probably why i have a hard time wanting girlfriends.

You sort of have a fascinating life, or your ability to describe your life is interesting....I mean that in a friendly way. But, I have learned to keep quiet about myself to lots of people...usually they want to talk about themselves mostly and have me listen.

I think others must find me as interesting as you do... I have heard through rumors that I'm weird. when I was young and prettier I was different from other girls but it seemed to be in a good way. ... now that I'm older and less attractive I'm weird.. I find that interesting in itself... human perception that is....
Shirley, I don't think it is my life that is interesting so much is it that my view of life is soooo different from most...My life is somewhat harsh and I am becoming increasingly unsocial. I'm practical to an extreme but at the same time somewhat self serving... I want to do what I want when I want and I don't want to need permission...I envy the males ability to do as they please and I envy that they get to live in a world that caters to them. That feeling makes it probably almost impossible for me to marry. Although I feel very feminine I just don't like living life as a woman. (no sex change in my future i promise I'm completely straight) I don't cook and I don't like being criticized or judged over the condition of my house or my kitchen. I don't like that my physical appearance is so important either. I've been single so long and I've been exposed to so much that I have no absolutes anymore.. When I was young I tried so hard to be a good christian lady that I lived a very restricted and pitiful life... When I worked at the college I was surrounded by such a huge amount of diversity that I was forced to completely alter my world view... (so many different cultural groups) I am sometimes conflicted within. Although I used to think of myself as a conservative, I'm probably a democrat with somewhat conservative values---- but my definition of what conservative is is probably getting more and more liberal as time goes by. I don't think I want to spend the rest of my life catering to some man's needs... I want to do something different than that. lol... however, god hasn't put that different thing in front of me and as it is my life is somewhat blah....

lol that very conversation above is so different than what women traditionally want to talk about... they get together and discuss their kids or a recipe or their husbands .... at church functions they make over each other's casseroles and the men get to play basketball and watch sports. women have to wear pretty dresses while a man can do fine in the drabbest of cloths. lol
