Took a nap late this afternoon. Woke up in my clothes and thought it was morning. I hate when that happens. It wasn't even dark yet!
Got some retirement paperwork turned in today. The good news is that I will get my pension benefits retroactive to when I retired. The bad news is that I probably won't get it until December 1st. At least I'll get it! Thanks to friend Ryan for driving me downtown. I don't like driving down there by myself. It cost a whopping $9 to park...and we could only have been in the office for just slightly over an hour!
Today was Wedding Day for my former son-in-law. He and his bride (Nathan and Kendra) have been together for at least two years. Since they now have custody of the grandchildren, I'm glad they took this step. Grandma Judy promised to take lots of pictures so I could share in the moment. I wish them all the best.
Worked on my room some yesterday. I can't believe the mess I have allowed to pile up. I keep saving things that don't need to be saved. I'll keep working on it. Eventually, I should actually be able to see the floor...and maybe have a real file system for papers that are important instead of things that date back to the 60s and 70s!
Cardiac rehab is going well. I make myself go, some days. I haven't experienced any chest pain or even breathlessness. After rehab yesterday, however, hours after I got home, I was aware that my heart was pounding. Took my pulse. My heart was racing...something like 108 beats a minute...and I wasn't doing anything at all physical. It kind of concerned me. I will report it to the rehab people on Monday. It did finally slow down a bit, but I have to worry about every little thing now. I can't live like that...
Another worry: I have a "thingie" on my back. A mole, of sorts. I can't see it, of course, but it keeps growing and feels like the squamous cell carcinoma that I had on my face six years ago...so I will be making an appointment to have it removed next week. At least THIS scar won't be on my face/head!
Oh! Monrovia High School Bulldogs (football team) and the Bulldog Brigade (band) are undefeated this year, so far! I am so proud of my former students and rejoice in their victories. What a great year for them! I've asked to have the grandchildren next weekend. (Haven't heard yet.) IF the band performs anywhere close by for semi-state, maybe I can take the children to watch. The weather is supposed to be a little better through the week. We'll see!
I only cry once or twice a day now. It appears that I am "collateral damage" in all that has happened, so I figure I have to move on. Have done it before. Will do it again...just all alone, this time. It's confusing, at best.
Thinking ahead to the holidays bothers me, but I can only take one day at at time!
Blessings.
