There's no getting around it. Since the day after Christmas, the aisles at Wegman's have been chocked full of Valentine's Day candy, pink heart balloons, and (any minute now) roses moved to the FRONT of the store for easy (perhaps guilt-fueled) access. It's been all things Red for a few weeks. And when a Sunday is within 6 or 7 hours of that lovey-dovey "holiday", that means ya gotta do The Love Edition.
So prepare for songs about falling in love. Falling out of love. Heart-sick, heart-broken, heart-not-yet-in-the-know songs. I wish I was, I'm glad I'm not, maybe tomorrow, hopefully not tomorrow, NEVER, ALWAYS, a bit, a lot, too much, not enough. Love in the title, or at least love on the mind. You can just imagine how many songs I had to pick from, from Broadway AND Hollywood. (We may well end up in over time, like a nail-biting football game.)
Meanwhile, a busy week:
An exterminator visit. Seems my cat's been lazy in the hunting department.
A plumber visit. Frozen water. Then real water. Shooting. Spraying. Outside, then inside. Old houses = Old pipes. That has had to change. Like a fancy restaurant rating: $$$
My car finally fixed after a nasty (FAT) raccoon collision. He dive-bombed my Subaru and took out a goodly portion of front grill work, the car's, not mine. I was sorry I killed him for about 15 seconds. Then I got over it.
Where he/she took a big bite.
The continuing saga of MY grill work. Remember when I cracked a tooth in the summer, on a date pit no less? Well, I'm half a year from the PIT, and half way through the implant process. At least it's not in the middle of my "grill". Date pit, I curse you!
An exciting life, n'est pas? Who ever said retirement was boring?
But meanwhile, to end that busy week...LOVE. Hope you can dial in this edition. Hugs and Kisses (and hearts and flowers), Me
