'Another day another dollop'.....well so far no rain but it's another misty morning. At our age we've learned to take whatever we get and to get whatever we can take. Opportunities are like the leaves blowing in the fall and you're standing in the middle of a forest. They're flying by right and left but people notice very few of them if any at all. When you're blowing them off the road there is always a few that hang and need special attention. So is life and it's opportunities.
We've got an exciting day planned. Yep, we're going to Eldon. The visit there will include a happy time at the barber shop, reading a couple of newspapers while I wait, then the downer after the haircut when I've got to shell out eight bucks.
While I'm in the barber shop Glenda will go the grocery store for a few staples. She likes to shop but alas, it hurts her at the checkout. The paying puts her down, sometimes a little and sometimes a lot.
Two downers doesn't make an up, so to find one we'll try the library. It won't be written in the books, but to pick a few good books and then check them out without paying is a nice way to recover some of the up.
Big hopes and wishes have a way of providing some up too so we may even buy a lottery ticket to give our today's wishing and hoping a little kick in the ass. A thirteen million dollar hope and wish can certainly be invigorating for a little while.
A nice up for you is always down here I'm sure. You know? Where the end is.
