What day did you say it was?

Hi all,

I have to keep reminding myself that today is Sunday.  My Red Hat ladies and I spent the last four days in Ocean City, MD.  So, I sort of lost track of what day we were on.  We had a good time, at least I did.  I hope they did as well.  They got to do alot more than I did, but with my heart problems, I can't do alot anymore. 

My best friend, Donna, and I spent most of the time together.  She, also, has health issues which make it hard for her to walk much.  So, we entertained ourselves.  She and I go back a long way, so we always enjoy spending time alone.  It would have been better if the weather wouldn't have been so cold and windy, but we all made the best of it. 

We did go to the casino on Friday.  That was fun!  This time I actually won twenty dollars.  One can not go to a casino with the idea that you're going to win money.  If you do, that's great.  Some of us won a bit and some lost the money they'd set aside for this purpose.  But, be we had a good time.  We really weren't there all that long, because it doesn't take long to loose a few dollars.

Tomorrow is Monday.  For me that means doing a couple loads of laundry.  But, I really don't mind doing laundry.  My husband and a good friend of his, are going to a York Revolutions baseball game tomorrow.  I'm glad he has someone who will be able to join him.  I hope they have a good time and enjoy the game.

I suppose for many of you, tomorrow will mean heading back to work.  I hope you all had a great weekend.  I understand the weather around here was beautiful.  Too bad it wasn't like that in Ocean City, MD.  As you travel to your jobs tomorrow morning, remember the saying, "This too shall pass!"
Some day you're children will be all grown up and you will be able, hopefully, to retire.  Or at least, work a part time job.  The only suggestion I'd make to you about retirement would be to have something already planned to do with yourself.  So many people have worked their whole lives and when they retire, they don't know what to do with themselves.  Sometimes there isn't enough money to do much of anything, so they sit at home and get depressed.  Everyone tells you that you need to plan ahead with your financial matters, but don't tell you that there's a lot more to it than the money planning. 

Well, needless to say, I didn't get any writing done over the weekend.  So, this week I certainly need to getting cracking on my writing.  I have a few children's books to format before I can place them for sale at www.amazon.com.  I'll keep you informed as to when they are available.

You can check out the nine books that I already have for sale at Amazon by going to the pages, right here on my blog page.  Or you can go directly to www.amazon.com do a search using my name:  Susan Lapp Mellott, and all nine of them will come up.

Well, you have a few hours left to this weekend, so enjoy it.  If you haven't set aside some time for yourself this weekend, do it now.  It will make you feel better.  I hope you all have a great week.
Susan
