Random Thoughts

I realized that I haven't posted one of my "Random Thought Thursdays" in months and months. So here goes:

Getting There: Since my ex has been gone, I've had to pay attention to the pool (that was his project). After checking chemicals last night, I looked at the temp. The water's up to 80 degrees -- my absolute minimum for swimming. Now I can go back to my nightly dips before bed.

Shaggy Dog: Eric, my hair stylist, decided to become a flight attendant. He owns the hair salon, so he's still cutting hair. He left for training for six weeks, but said he would email when he was back. The other night, while balancing my checkbook, I realized it had been eight weeks since my last cut. But I could tell just by looking in the mirror -- I look like a shaggy dog! I hate it.  On my way home tonight, I called the shop to inquire when he was going to be back.  His majesty himself answered the phone. I was polite but wanted to wring his neck! Anyway, I have an appointment for a cut and highlights tonight. Not a moment too soon.

Guests: Martin is coming for Memorial Day! Bernardo may arrive a week later! Then Kathy and Mike come for their second annual Fourth of July in Fort Lauderdale getaway! I'm really psyched.

Outrageous: I thought about going to NYC next weekend for a respite from everything that's been going on. It's time for my annual theater orgy anyway. But airfare and two nights of hotel would run me about $1,400. Add in taxis, meals and theater tickets, and two days in New York becomes a week on a Baltic cruise like I'm taking this summer. I guess NYC will have to wait.
