Anniversary - Ho Hum - Pollen - Sick

 Shalimar, FL  (Hi 72   Lo 63)  It's been low 40's this week at night

My two year anniversary was Monday for moving into Bob Hope Village. I haven't moved much if at all everything the boys put in place for me. We were totally unloaded in just a few hours. I'm so glad it went so smooth. I'm now looking at things I haven't touched in two years and getting rid of it. They say wait at least two seasons before throwing things out. I have added a few items to make life more simpler, but not a whole lot. I have no regrets and very thankful I'm here. I've met a lot of people and most of the time I remember their names. 

The week was ho-hum, the same thing with added little zooms from time to time. I noticed the readers of the blogs have dropped, but hopefully that will increase when I start traveling. There's three trips to follow this summer.

I still had to beat the clock getting to the events I had this week. Two days I had to make a choice on what to do because I had three events the same day and hour. I'm learning tarot cards for fun so chose that one on Thursday. That was the best day. I had activities meeting in the morning, ran home to do the zoom on cards, barely had time to get out the door to crochet group, forgot I had oreo cookie day in an hour so couldn't stay. I made it for the tasting of cookies and meet up with some friends. Another gal and I decided to go to the lounge to finish the puzzle, then it was card time.  This puzzle was "mystery puzzle". Nothing showed on the box what it would be just the outside edges. It turned out really neat. It's called snacks. One piece missing and it was a brand new puzzle we got from Christmas gift.

I wanted chicken wings, and I hadn't been to the Moose in quite awhile. I grabbed Rosie and went for wings on Wednesday and had a good time with members of the club. One couple was there on visit from Illinois close to where our son lives so we talked about the area. They were on the way home after spending time in South Florida. It was an enjoyable evening. I was the driver, so only one drink with meal. 

The rest of the week was normal. Ukulele class/fun group was Friday and Sunday evening. Several zoom classes and get togethers.  

I had my car washed last Saturday and the pollen is so bad it looks like it did before. Half of us are sneezing and coughing and some are wearing masks when they go out the door. I may be one of them. I cleaned the chairs outside since it's so nice to sit out there, but then started sneezing and eyes are watery, so enough of that for awhile. 

I finally broke down and got the taxes paid. Another worry about how much to pay, but it was almost as much as last year so it's good. I even got an email saying it was accepted by the IRS. Whew, I'm good till next year. 

I was supposed to go to Pensacola today (saturday) for craft show, but all night I was up with a cold that kept getting worse. I had a fever and it broke about 3:00am. I texted one of the gals to tell the bus driver I was sick and take me off the list. It's the first time in three years I've got a cold or being sick. I guess I'm run down, but who knows, it's my turn. The weather is up and down, so that might be part of it.  I just hope it doesn't go into pneumonia like I normally do with colds. 

Update, the longer the day got, the more I felt rotton. This is first time I've been sick since Jim died. I have a fever of 99.6 so it's a cold.
