Another weekend has come and gone … a busy, exhausting but wonderful weekend.
Friday morning I had my annual check up … no problems encountered. Got my orders for my annual mammogram and routine bloodwork (Wednesday morning). I got home from my doctor’s appointment just in time to head out for lunch with my neighbor. She suggested lunch at a small Italian café in a historic neighborhood of St. Louis … DH and I had eaten there a couple of times, so I was thrilled with her choice. I had a half order of seafood cannelloni … I’m wishing now that I’d ordered a whole order so I could have had leftovers. Yum!
Saturday and Sunday was T-time! We watched a couple of movies (Mars Needs Moms, The Incredibles), played (Legos, Super Heroes), went to church, and survived the time change (goodness knows that Nana needed an extra hour’s sleep Saturday night! 
Today I’m thankful for retirement. I’m thankful that I don’t have to set the alarm clock, that I’m not spending my days in a basement cubicle, that I can control the thermostat
I am SO loking to being retired! I just hate comeing to work some days because it's so cold here and the company is a WONDERFUL company that has my under the desk heater on when I get here to warm me up! They are wonderful, supportive peole who realy care about what we do here and yet, I want to be retired. Too bad I can't afford to stop. So I am thankful for a wonderful company to work for
ReplyDeleteThe weekends tend to come and go in a hurry, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI had my mammogram done last week. I'm always relieved to get that over with.
Good morning! Glad your annual doc visit went well! Always so glad to get that out of the way...your week-end sounded good. I am sooo looking forward to hubby retiring...I feel like I am of course, though until he is it's not the same, lol. Enjoy your day Kathy!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Loved hearing about your lunch with your friend. I too am so very thankful that I'm retired; I will even go so far as saying that I'm somewhat thankful that there is age discrimination here in Colorado-because I honestly tried to get a job over the last four years(lots of jobs actually)but because I had been retired they wouldn't hire me...even the local library. I have too much to do as it is now, can't imagine working. Happy Monday my friend.

Congratulations on your good checkup at the doctor visit!!
ReplyDeleteI am tired too, after a jam-packed, kid-filled weekend; but we wouldn't have it any other way... would we?
ReplyDeleteRight now we can't even sleep in on the weekends because of my son's early morning hockey games. retirement is looking better and better.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds lovely. Oh the time change, I was wide awake at 4:00 AM It will be a while before I adjust.
ReplyDeleteI am glad your check up went well.
I hope you have a lovely week this week.
I go in January for my check up. Sounds like a very nice lunch. I like Mars Needs Moms. I like being home too with no set schedule. I can't wait for my husband to join me but thankful he has his job which allows me to stay home. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend with the T's! I hope to retire one day, LOL, but who knows these days with the economy and whatnot. Glad you are able to enjoy those days to be "your own boss" so to speak!

Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend. We had three of our grands over last weekend as well and this grandma also used that extra hour for a much needed nap.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible list of things to be thankful for!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a busy, but sweet weekend!
