Another day... and whew for that!

...Thank heavens!
Today was not a common day, and yet it was not uncommon either.
Each day is not unlike a blade of grass, a cloud, a hair follicle, a human being, true?
Why then did Hubby and I have the attitude of saying that when you're retired each day is the same, in reply to people wishing us a TGIF, Thank Goodness It's Friday, just yesterday?

Whoa, what were we thinking, pppppp pppppptttttt, phooey!
We must have jinxed us/me!

Without going into too much detail, things did not go at all well after in the evening, culminating possibly in part with that cryptic blog of last night...
But even I have decided to NOT to live in the past, not even my recent past, okay?
So allow me to move on to today, alrighty now...
Many people write what's in their hearts on these things and I too have not been one to not avoid that practice, but you all know that.
Heartfelt anything when written has an honesty quality that most people can relate to.
In general people can tell when you are sincere and when you are not… and who hasn’t felt that at times we should have not only honesty, but sincerity dials worn on our clothing, sort of like giant thermometers, and wouldn’t that be really cool?
I suppose they would work as lie detectors too…
And well, that could create a problem, most people out of the goodness of their demeanor's, try not to be mean and therefore hem and haw and skirt the total honesty thingy that is doing it and being totally honest 100% of the time, ya know?
Otherwise we would all be in BIG trouble with spouses, kids, relatives and parents’ friends and colleagues and the list goes on…
Although, I still feel that honesty is the best practice in most cases.
But even the best of us know that it cannot be fair to tell everyone exactly how it is…in a relationship, in a courtroom when sworn in, to your children with very important things that are of course age appropriate, yes those are some of the times when telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth is necessary!
I am more than sure there is quite a list of more times to tell how it really is, but you all know when that is, and daily we are tested to find out in our own lives when that is the time to do that… sometimes we regret telling or not telling, but as I've said living in the past is not for me anymore!
So I would like to think of each day as it comes with its choices and decisions of what we are going to learn from each and everyone of them.
This morning I went into the pool and spent another hour with a five minute break in between, and Hubby did his things outside while keeping a protective eye on me, and then we decided after checking online to see if any indoor venues had anything going on that we might enjoy and sadly they did not, but we made our own fun, get your minds out of the gutter! (Nah, we love each other so it’s okay to think what you want!) 

But actually we found two movies that we must have missed, Ella Enchanted circa 2004 for more info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327679/and Cold Mountain circa 2003 for more info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159365/, both with excellent casts…they totaled five hours of entertainment that we enjoyed.

And thanks to the close proximity to our kitchen, actually we have what many call their great room our living room is right there too enabling food prep for dinner to be done and not miss any of the movies!
All in all it was a win, win.

Many who do not live in Florida, make that Southwest Florida are not aware of the sky high temperatures we have been experiencing here, although many in our country have been having them too.
Today outside it did reach 99 degrees F and that is not with the heat index that is the outright Fahrenheit temperature, and the humidity was very low in the 30-ish range… but even so according to the meteorologists its feel like temperature was, wait for it…around 110, sorry the tonight’s weather guy didn’t give the feels like temp… and our printout I threw out by mistake, it had adorned the fridge.
I found the site: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/epz/?n=wxcalc_heatindex
And it said only around 106, WHAT???
I said only?
What, am I crazy?
Don’t answer that!

On that note of silly is as silly does… booga, booga, please insert happy face here, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
