What a busy day i am having. I went for a nice long walk this morning, i had some things to think about...so i was gone for over an hour, much to my mothers dismay. When i got back i decided i'd wait to do that laundry that was all piled up, waiting for me (gosh, there is lots of laundry when you are washing for four people)...and go grocery shopping instead.

Off i went...it is such a beautiful day, an absolutely perfect day, I wish the whole summer could be like this...blue skies, bright sun and a cool breeze...enough so that if you wanted, you could wear a jacket...but the sun being so warm, it was not really necessary. Anyway, i digress...off i went to do the shopping. I walked around the store, happily...picking up the things we needed. I ran into an acquaintance, had a nice chat and then got back to my shopping. Usually i make a lot of impulse purchases but i didn't do too badly...i took $200 dollars with me and left the store with $60 change....now that doesn't sound like much, for four people... but we had just had some groceries delivered the other day...and we do shop almost weekly at that price. So i called a taxi and loved being outside, waiting... but i didn't have to wait long. The taxi driver that i had was very nice and complimentary...furthering the probability of a nice tip. What the heck, i was in a good mood and it is always nice to have a nice chat with the driver on the journey home. He was very helpful, packing up the cart when we got back to the apartment... iam always so thankful for that. I love the shopping and the putting away and organizing of groceries but i hate the schlepping. So i got everything in and eventually put away...had a rest and then before long i had to get laundry underway. Not too bad, four loads initially and three more to do later. Four people equals a lot of laundry.

A couple of hours later i was done the laundry and still feeling perky. My sister had returned home from work and since she was home to keep mother company (i dared not leave her alone after i'd left her alone for over an hour for my walk and an hour or so for grocery shopping)...i decided to go to Walmart. I go there for various things...paper goods such as toilet paper and paper towels...as well as peach juice and five-alive drinking boxes, both of which my mother and i are addicted. I keep the fridge well stocked with both. $120 later....and i was on my way home again...different taxi driver...this one very friendly too..in the habit of calling me 'miss' when answering me. A nice touch i thought. He was very helpful in loading the cart too when we got back to the apartment..i always tip well for that because not all drivers are. Anyway, i was back home...i put dinner in the oven (we had cabbage rolls and salad with rolls) and proceeded to put away all of the stuff i'd bought. I must admit i love when the cupboards are full.

So we had dinner and i did dishes as my sister is in 'cleaning mode' now...so mother and i will just stay out of her way ...as she didn't want any help. I must say i don't mind that at all...i used to love to clean and i guess i still do but its nice to have someone else who also enjoys it, do it.

So now i am just relaxing.

I miss N...we had a bit of a thing..an argument almost but not quite. You see he asked to come see me and i panicked a bit, thinking his desire was based on the pic i'd sent of my breasts. I was wrong, i know that now... but it's too late, the damage is done and now he is staying away from me. I miss him very much...and i'm sorry i doubted him.

I hope we can sort things out... i thought we were getting close... maybe i was wrong.
