Seis de Mayo

 (Happy Birthday to my dear friend Charles - he was feeling chatty last night; we spent an hour on the phone! But I had lots of good news to catch him up on - Zach’s impending graduation and all those happy plans**)

I had all weekend where I didn’t have to set an alarm - it’s kind of sad when the highlight of your day is tucking yourself into bed and realizing you can sleep in… that translated until shortly before 8 AM Saturday & a quarter till nine Sunday (!!!) I had gotten up to let the dogs out a little after 7 AM, laid back down and dozed off. I peeled myself slowly off the mattress, being very stiff and sore - I think I didn’t drink enough water on Saturday. It certainly wasn’t overexertion - I hauled in a short load of feed, but surely that wasn’t enough to get me all stove up?

** all plans will not be joyous after Zach finally succeeded in getting through to his father who will be attending the graduation with his lovely bride (face palm). As I told Charles, I will just take a Xanax and practice my queenly presentation (a Mona Lisa smile, condescending head tilt, etc). It’s Zach’s day after all - let me just pray that his dad vamooses after the ceremony and doesn’t try to shoehorn into any of our celebratory plans thereafter (fingers crossed). Count on that man to try to claim any reflected glory when he has not contributed one red cent towards Zach’s college education, or for that matter any support whatsoever  as soon as he turned 18. I found myself a festive floral dress, invested in a new body-shaper garment and remain 14 years younger than that hag (Ha!). Now the only sticking point may be the footwear - I cannot squeeze my poor crippled feet into heels anymore so I may just buy a nice new pair of tennis shoes in basic black.

Hopefully, Zach will follow through on his promise to have some photos taken this week so I can order some graduation announcements for him. We’re not fishing for gifts - I just want the world to know! Oh happy day!!!

  2. So nice to have a friend who really loves you and enjoys your company. Can't say that I have had one of those in years thanks to early retirement.

    I am happy to not need to set alarms but only if I can get up around 8. Any later than that and I am setting myself up for poor sleeping habits.
    Benny would sleep all day and be up 2/3 of the night and that doesn't work for me.

    I find as I have aged that hydration is one of the most important tools in my toolbox. It can make or break my day.

    Good grief. It would have been nice if Zack could have scheduled a meeting with your ex and the whore at some other time. My parents were divorced and I tried to make sure they never were within viewing distance or fur or drinks would fly. I would be real surprised if your ex and the whore disappeared after the ceremony. They don't impress me as people who have any sense of decency due to their past behavior. How old is the old whore now? Must be near my age and should be home refreshing her Depends.

    My mother's best friend, super rich and fun, was someone who felt she should work until she died no matter what the age, and she worked in a shoe store. I can't stand shoes that hurt my feet and she introduced me to comfortable and attractive dress sandals in colors. They would go perfect with your dress. Of course my feet are very attractive and it does attract men with foot fetishes but it also draws attention away from them staring at your boobs.

    Great things are happening!
