THURSDAY

I spent most of the morning writing Christmas cards and got the overseas ones in the mail. Went to Von's (I think I'm going to move in) for a few items, including a bottle of Jameson whiskey. What--have I started boozing with the big stuff? No, I'm giving it to Cheryl as a little thank-you for taking me to T.O.P.S. every Friday.  She mentioned that she and her husband have a something or other every evening with Jameson in it. I'm not sure what the drink is (whiskey sour?), but she had mentioned Jameson, which happens to be my great-nephew's name. 

Made my lunch and took it out to the middle with my book. I've been doing this a lot lately, and it's so pleasant in the warm sunlight, with the attractive foliage, and the quiet calm of the afternoon.

When I got home, it occurred to me that I have dozens of DVDs and nothing to play them on so I went into Amazon and ordered one. The case worker from Agency on Aging returned my call, but as I suspected, she couldn't tell me anything I didn't already know about Jim's prospect, as the info is confidential. Diane and I made a lunch date for Monday at her park.

I have something in mind to give my kids for Christmas, but I'm not quite familiar with the process of setting it up, so I Messaged Mike and he said he's walk me through it. What I don't know is how to upload. He and I will work on it over the weekend when he's free.

Ellen texted to ask if I'd like her to take me to see Betty next Friday, the twentieth; our birthday's the next day. Yes, I'd like to and she invited me to stay at her place overnight--I'll like that even better. 

About 4:00, I went to CVS to get the ZZ-Quil sleep aid I've been taking. Darn, I had taken an OTC sleep aid for twenty years, then weaned myself off it, but now I'm back, although it's a different one. 

I rearranged my Christmas stuff a bit and took pics of my beautiful amaryllis to show Noreen:
