Weekly Musings of the 23rd

Here we are at another Friday and leading up to my birthday on Sunday... wow, 69.  I see it in the mirror but I sure don't believe it most days.  You know what really ticks me off about this?  When I was young and I mean teens, twenties and even thirties and forties I thought those that were seniors figured it all out and no longer ate food that was bad for them, took care of themselves and wouldn't wake up in the night anymore with heartburn due to being silly when it came to overeating and such.  I thought they had it all together, that they knew what they were doing and that I would get that way eventually.  Well, I am here to say that was bullcrap one more year to 70 and I am still doing dumb stuff and still arguing with myself about eating something that I know I am going to suffer over later.  

Honestly, sure I have some stuff figured out and looking back those lessons were tough but it is those silly things that I figured would be behind me that still trips me up and even more so thinking now looking back at grandparents and even great-grandparents are figuring out that they really didn't have it together and were just guessing or tripping up too.  

So, yup this lady is right.  You are still going to do dumb stuff. 

Anywho, this week had me seeing my dentist for a quick check and x-rays as I see my hygienist at another place but this time I am insisting on seeing the dentist that I signed up to see in the first place not whichever one is handy.  I am getting more fussy about that stuff.  All went well which is nice.

We went off for a drive to check out a shop called Coyle's which has lots of Halloween, Christmas and everything in between.  They also have a wonderful selection of local jams too which I indulged in this time.  

 My arrangement of Halloween this year.  It is a lot simpler and much less too, I am not doing as much decorating as I use to.  I like one simple lay out and our ceramic pumpkin in the window, our seasonal flags top it off.  All in all about 30 minutes to do and I am really good with that.  

The vet called to pick up Tigger's remains so she was brought home and that felt much better just to have her urn here.  

They also do a paw print and piece of her fur in their card.  I put them in a frame with their picture (previous cats) I couldn't resist putting her favourite toy beside her urn.  

Anyway, now all things are done, I even remembered that the fencing at the bottom of the balcony was actually for our cats and was no longer needed, hubby took care of that and now the space looks pretty bare without all that stuff keeping them safe.  

So, that was our week, not too busy but getting out for a bit of exploring and giving Sparky (our car) a bit of a run.  

Wishing you all a lovely weekend and week ahead.
