5:22 AM-Saturday in Day to day life from a woman that turned 60 in Oct 2014 and who lives on a farm and Retired on January 2, 2016. I plan to do more sewing, work outside in the yard and just enjoy my retirement.

Woke up early this morning. Of course I did, it is Saturday. Blah! O stayed overnight and he was awake by 5am. Told him he could go get in my bed, but he didn’t want to. He’s on the old laptop watch a kid’s movie. Not sure what today will bring, but it is my Dad’s 87th birthday today. I have a tentitive plan of taking him about 25 miles east to a place called “Cookin from Scratch”. It is a truck stop diner and has been in several published mags and papers about its good food. If it doesn’t work out to take him today, I’ll take him at a later time. Problem with that idea is: He usually won’t allow me to buy his dinner or supper. I might be able to win this time though since it will be his birthday meal.

I have made 6 more felt bunnies and since I didn’t post pictures of the previous felt bunnines, I will now. Haven’t taken a picture of the ones I finished yesterday but the felt bunny rabbits are selling but not the flannel ones. Hard to know what folks want.

The felt ones:

The pink bunny that has “sold” on it is the one O picked out earlier last week. Not sure how many have noticed but actually the ears are backwards. lol Thankfully he didn’t seem to care so it now is his. All but two of these have sold, but it is looking like they will too.

I have a deposit “pending” in my checking account and the best thing about it, is that it tells you the amount. It is my retirement check for 1 March. I’ll be interested to see what the letter that will come in the mail will tell me about this amount as I don’t think it is what the monthly amount will be when they finally get this figured out. I’m getting a bit annoyed with how long this is taking as figuring my monthly amount should be easy for them. No breaks in service, no weird stuff during the 32 years. Just straight work time for 32 years. Hopefully my April 1st, it will be figured out and stay consistent. I can hope. Well except for any cost of living changes.

I forgot to tell you that work secretary called me again last week. I’m not very helpful anymore. Strange how this works out. I feel like I finally have some respect, but I’m not there. Kinda oxymoronish, don’t you think?

If A’s afternoon client cancels I will go up with O and get her to cut my hair. I haven’t had it cut since early December and it really needs to be trimmed at least. She doesn’t like me to wash it the day or even day before I have her cut it, so won’t wash it before I go up. If her PM client doesn’t cancel, I will have to wash it this evening anyway.

It is supposed to warm up today and I think tomorrow and then I heard the forecast for snow again. I apparently shut out the when and just keep waiting for spring. I have lots of the early flowers up so they should be blooming in a couple of weeks. They seem to tolerate this up and down weather better than I do. The only way they won’t is if we get a hard freeze and then it will take them out for spring. Thankfully, they will still return next spring.

I have several house things to do today since I haven’t done much except laundry the last couple of days. My list for today is:

Dishes
Straighten kitchen
Vacuum LR
Vacuum my bedroom
Straighten in laundry room
Gather trash and take to barrels

That is all I’m putting on the list for today so I have a better chance of getting everything done. No guarantee, but a chance.

Take care and God Bless
