A SATURDAY

When I was working I looked forward to Saturday and Sunday. Now that I am not working I don't look forward to Saturday and Sunday. During the week my husband and I can do errands and move around town unchallenged by traffic and crowded stores. The bank never has a line and the pharmacy you can get in and out in no time. You can also get a quick cafe latte in Starbucks during the week. Now the weekends are a challenge and we try not to go anywhere the masses may be.

This morning we slept in a little and I made from scratch Belgian waffles and bacon. We puttered around a little then I showered and dressed we took a quick trip to the pet store. I know this is against all that I have talked about above but we felt it was important to get flea and tick medication for our one cat, Buddy, who is an indoor/outdoor cat and today was warm enough that we though those nasty fleas and ticks might be lurking. I did manage to get a cafe latte at Starbuck's without having to wait too long so that was a pleasant surprise on a Saturday late morning.

We also took a ride to a little village outside our city to look for a small bridge in need of repair. The head of the highway department in our county is looking to hire my husband to oversee the rebuilding of that bridge. The contractor has not been assigned yet,, but with Spring just around the corner it won't be long.

My neighbor stopped by for a quick game of Scrabble and that was the extent of my rather exciting day.
