Day 28 -- Something's up

Finally got a good night's sleep -- did not wake up until 7:30!  Slowly got the morning routine done, and sat down in front of the TV for Sunday Morning.  The newspapers brought cereal samples, so I did one of them with blueberries.  Good breakfast.  Josh's blog had pictures of him in his tux at the Gala.  Yes, I am biased, and he is a handsome young man!
Sometime during the day, I realized that I was not finding anything about staying inside the house in any way reassuring and was getting less and less tolerable.  Maybe it was because I wanted to see the boys, maybe because I realized that I was getting in the rut of thinking everything was about me.  I wanted more human contact, and I wanted to know what the world looks like to other people.  I don't mind talking about Margaret -- can do that almost without breaking up -- depends on to whom I am talking.  Anyway, I don't know where this will take me, and right now I am content to just pay attention and see where this leads me.
Talked to George to confirm our lunch tomorrow.  Called to see what the kids were doing -- they were going to be home so I decided to drive to Apollo Beach, intending to go by the grocery store when I got back home.  I needed to talk to Lee about some of the ideas being presented to me concerning the Website.  We had to have the conversation over about  2 hours -- being punctuated by Josh wanting to teach me how to handle a street hockey stick so I could play hockey with him.
He and his Dad really handle that puck very well -- and with the heat and their skill I decided to just be the photographer and retreat into the air conditioning.  We also went out for dinner -- pizza for the boys (and Grandpa, too) -- came home with dinner for tomorrow night, and maybe more. 
Also negotiated with Jarrod to help me move two sprinklers in the front yard, but we kept running into logistical problems.  With Clinic on Monday, and an afternoon play date, we were having trouble figuring out getting the transportation taken care of and leave us some time to work before the heat sets in.  Renee, who is the resident expert in figuring out schedules, helped us work it out.  Jarrod will come here (Renee and Josh will be on the way to Clinic) and then Renee will pick him up in time for me to get to my 11am lunch with George.  Our plan is to get started, and finish on another day -- Jarrod will probably come in with his Dad, and I'll take him back home.
I admit that the negotiations and working out the schedule was a very welcome change from piddling around the house without getting very much done.  Besides getting to the grocery store and Home Depot (for sprinkler supplies), and two appointments, I want to follow up on looking over the Ballast Point or YMCA Senior exercise programs, and get that on my calendar.
