Old Ladies

So what do old ladies do all day?

Well, I don't know about anybody else, but here's a sample of my day:

Got up early. Said my prayers, reading from A Course in Miracles.

Signed on the computer and checked my four web pages. Did a couple entries on MyItThings and then carried them forward or routed them to the other pages.

E-filed my State tax return.

Had an appointment at the local hospital at 7:45 am for an EKG and a heart monitor. (I had two crashes last week. One was the computer. The other was me.)

Left the hospital, stopped at McDonalds for hash browns and orange juice, and headed for my Silver Sneakers Yoga Class.

Namaste.

Home for some house cleaning and computing. (I play the games too.) My strategy is "Clean a room, play a game, clean a room, play a game." I used to play "Age of Empires" on line against the 12-year-old boys. (They didn't know I was a "girl".) I had to quit because I was getting too good and my experience points were matching me with the better players.

Met with friends for an hour at noon. The discussion centered on Love and Fear.

Lunch at Culver's.

The Salvation Army thrift store was my next stop. I volunteer there for an hour a day (four days a week). As I was dusting shelves, the newly installed heart monitor fell from my belt and stopped working. I had five electrodes pasted to my chest and belly but the readout was zip. If I wasn't walking around, I would have thought I died.

Home again. Note on the door that the UPS guy had been there with my new computer. He's coming back today. Write note to self to remember to stay home between 2 and 4.

Call the hospital - "Come back tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m."

By then I needed a pick-me-up. Went to my local shopping mall for a haircut, shampoo, and style.

Home to two recorded phone messages. Supper. Number Four Son phoned to see how the hospital stop went. I love those guys!

A little more computer, a little TV, and time for bed.

How was your day?
