Sherri is off to West Monroe

 

5:00 am the alarm went off and Sherri was up with warp speed. She dashed down to the kitchen and put the coffee on and then sat down in the recliner to wait for the finished product. When the pot had filled Sherri got up and poured herself a cup so I followed in behind her to do the same. We turned the TV on to see what the weather would be like today. I was hoping for clear sky and sunshine. Well that is just what the weatherman said we would have….but it never came so that is one for the weatherman.

Sherri got ready and I zipped up her suitcase and loaded it and the computer in the truck for her while she put her shoes on. I got a quick peck on the cheek and she was out the door. I would not see her again until Thursday afternoon when she would return home. I will miss her company these next few days. I could have  gone with her but then she would have to short cut here expenses to keep me fed. I would rather her enjoy the time she has with her friends and that way she can eat good and not have to worry about me.

I will be OK here by myself as long as I can scrounge up something to eat. I really would be better off if I did not eat a lot. I could loose some weight and it would be to my benefit. I have eaten way to much these past two months and I really need to start back on my walking and exercising program that I was following. Maybe when I start working I will loose some weight.

I got the clothes together and started another load of wash. Sherri had started one before she left so I just have to get another load or two done and then head over to the laundry mat to dry them. I too must think of something to fix today to eat. There is some cleaning to do and caulking that I need to see about.

Weather station is hung outside…now if I can only remember to bring it in when we move.

As the day progressed I dumped the black tank got my laundry done and hung my weather station outside. It is so dreary outdoors that I cannot get motivated to do anything. Jennifer, my daughter, called and we talked for some time. She has a phone that has the Internet on it so I can send her stuff. We discussed how that worked and she told me she would send me some pictures of the kids when she had a chance.

Jennifer is a law officer in Van Zandt County Texas..I am proud of her

I too, was once a law officer…she is a chip off the old block.

While I was talking with her Sherri called so we cut our conversation short. I called Sherri to see if everything was OK. She and Brenda, her co-worker were on the way to the mall to shop. See if I had gone with her she would not have been able to go and do those things. It is better that I stay back here and allow here to have some fun. When you have to work all the time you need to be able to get out and enjoy yourself.

Well that is it for this day. I will spend the rest of the afternoon thinking of something to eat. Not much to report now that all my neighbors and my best friend have left me here. Maybe I will go over to the Casino tomorrow and eat breakfast and take my lucky $5.00 bill. Who knows I might hit it rich and be able to retire…
