It was dark here at 5:30. What about being outside after work? I really
hate it.

Most of us don't have time to catch up. It takes me forever to circle
my block.

One neighbor asked me about 2 tops she found on sale. She wants to
return one. I told her to keep the white one, and return the gray
because white goes with everything. Besides, the white top was more
versatile unlike the turtle neck gray one. The white one only costs
$5.99 on sale unlike the $15.99. I told her she owes me when I can't
make up my mind.

Men don't understand us. What can you do? lol You are going to love
this. My husband doesn't understand why it takes me so long to go to
our grocery store near our home. You run into people, and it takes time
to find everything on your list. You have to read ingredients, and see
what is on sale.

We did also. Six children rang my door bell about 8 pm, and so I opened
it. They forgot about the youngest little girl who was a fairy princess
still standing next to me. She looked to be about 3 years old. Their
car was parked in front of my home with their aunt whom I know quite
well so the little girl tried to run to the street wherein another car
was coming the opposite direction so I ran behind her in. My heart was
pounding. She's safe. Until then, it was just me saying something
about costumes. One little boy was dressed like a football.

One little girl asked if I had any juice. Luckily, I had small cartons
of OJ in my fridge which were on sale 2 for $6.00. No one has ever
asked for juice.

I am distracting her this evening talking politics. lol
Seriously, I hope both of your daughters will feel stronger.

Sorry about your mom.

Tell her to call her dentist for something for pain tomorrow. She
shouldn't have to suffer like that. Take care, Lafemme.
