Money found and a weekend away coming!
Well, the money I apparently misplaced over the weekend I found today when I wasn’t looking for it. I was upset that I had apparently lost it, but I was sure it hadn’t left the apartment. I just didn’t know where it was and hoped it wasn’t in the trash. It turns out I had put it in between two books on my secretary in the hall. I found it when I was looking for something else. That’s usually how it is - I find things when I give up looking for them. Which is good, because I went out to dinner and didn’t have my debit card with me, but I did have the cash. Whew!And, Tom and I have decided to go away to Cape Cod next weekend. We’ll leave early on Friday and return on the following Monday - which ought to be nice because we’ll take a long weekend when others aren’t. It won’t be nearly as crowded that way. Two whole days on the cape. Plus - my daughter has agreed to go with us. She needs some time away, too. Her boyfriend takes weekends away with his guy friends, but she never gets away for herself. So, if she can work some extra hours, she won’t lose too much money taking the time off (she doesn’t get any benefits). She’s never been there and I know she’ll like it. It’s just so….I don’t know….not quite peaceful, yet there is that. The overall atmosphere is so relaxing. There are minstrels who play in the town square (I like that they’re not considered vagrants or beggars - they’re entertainers who provide atmosphere at no cost to the city.) The town there is also pet friendly with water dishes placed strategically around town for those who come with their pets (mostly dogs). You can’t get seafood any fresher than here. And, it’s not as hot on the cape as it is back home near Philly. I really do enjoy it there, so I want to go while I can afford to get away. It might be a while before it happens again.Now I just need to arrange for someone to feed the three cats. Maybe Deb’s boyfriend - he has a key, after all. He could stay here and the one cat knows him very well. We shall see.
