This morning one eye peeked out from the covers and told me that the sun was out. The other eye eventually peeked out and saw that it was almost 8:00 am! GEEE that is when both eyes watched me roll out of bed and guided me down to the kitchen to make some coffee! OH me I just have to retire so I can get in bed at descent hour of the night. Getting off an 11:00 pm is way too late and then I don't get to bed early and I sleep way to late in the day.
Last night when I got off work I drove to Wally World. I was in need of some supplies for the kitchen. You know I am on this salad diet and I needed more fixens for my salad makings. I also needed milk and some other things....so when I left work I just headed to the all night WW and proceeded to shop like I knew what I was doing.
I had forgotten who shops that late at night. You know once in my life I use to work late nights...for those of you that don't get out much that is 11:00pm to 7:00am. Yes I worked those hours....and I forgot that there is a whole different breed of people that work that shift and they shop during the day...You see those are the people that you find in the Wally World at 7:30 in the morning....well you say I have seen those folks....yes but I am talking about the people that work days....they are the weird ones! They were all at Wally World last night...I know...they are like zombies walking around getting that last minuet shopping done before they go to bed at 12:00 midnight. I was really kind of scared but I managed not to look into any ones eyes and just got what I needed and headed on home.
I told you all that to tell you this....I am beat! I did get all my stuff and put it away and then I had to have my bowel of cereal...Raisin Bran...keeps me regular...probably more information than you wanted but the older you get those things become the topic of many conversations.
If you're planning on being a full timer and you like to visit with your neighbors more than likely the conversations will get around to regularity and what kind of medicines do you take. One of the most therapeutic things you can do is find someone that takes more meds than you do and has more wrong with them...you will feel so much better about yourself. Then some guy comes along and he takes nothing but fresh air and looks like a god...and you fall into a funk that last until you find someone on deaths doorsteps.
That just about winds this one up today. I have to get my workout shorts on and get in front of the Wii screen....perch myself up on my Wii board and strike a pose for the trainer so he can tell me I am not steady on either leg. He must wonder what I am doing in his class. I think I am improving until I get the readout on the screen and then I get all funky fide....I'll stick with it and I will never give up until I lose that 25 lbs!.....

With me, it's nectarines which is why I'm so po'd that I can't get them!
Nice picture Joe, did not realize you were that old...jesse
What a hoot! You're right about the health talk. I notice that about everywhere I go when there's a group of "older aged people". Try the retirement homes and their conversations. Keep up the good work, the pounds will shed off somewhere in time.
I too have seen the ZOMBIES in Walmart they HOLLER HELLO at you scares the fibre out of you if you get my drift. Love your blog.
