Sounds drastic doesn't it, Well my oldest daughter is packed and on her way to Argentina. Today has been a bad day. Did you ever have a day when things just didn't go the way you exactly wanted. It is just an uneasy feeling a person gets. My daughter is leaving the home nest, (OK she left years ago) but having her with me for the last few months has been really nice. And letting her go has been difficult for me.(not like I had any control over them for years(fathers never feel they lost control over their kids)). I can't really complain over their independent action, I was never one to be told anything. Not that I'm not happy with her choice and I have met her whole new family in Argentina and feel that they will take care of her. It is just that she will be so far away and I just can't hop in the car and see her in a hour and a half. (OK make that 50 minutes, I drive fast). Well it is going to take a while to get used to it. Of course I have skpe and magic jack so communication won't be a problem. Well more to come on the subject later. One advantage is that I got to take both my daughters and my grand daughter and of course my wife out to dinner at a really good Mexican restaurant. (Not TexMex). We haven't done that for a long while (all of us getting together at the same time). On another matter. I noticed my sister-in-law has been writing in her blog again( after i proded her about not writing for a month). She is good at it and it seems to allow her to relax and she is good at writing about things. She retired from her work a few years ago and then felt obligated to get a part time job in a gym. She evidently forgot the meaning of retirement is not to start working a new job. I didn't retire to change job titles. Anyhow she quit the job on Thursday (good for her) (she would have been better at being a greeter at WalMart, she tends to be good with people. Anyhow, retirement means that you can now go and do things that interest you and enjoy it. Working as a volunteer in some work or going on trips or doing something. Since I have been retired (2 1/2 years now) I have found lots of things to keep me really busy. And I still get my traveling done. I do watch certain programs but on my schedule with my DVR's (2) i reschedule tv when I have the time to watch.
So any how I'm glad Robin got untied from the job, now go out and do something.
Like writing, I'm not an expert in writing, but I know what sounds good.
I better stop, don't want her heas to get too big.
Tomorrow is laundry day, I enjoy that, I don't know why, but I do.
Checking the weather, I see they (the weathermen) are calling for a mixed event for Sat night and Sunday. As a formal teacher of meteorology, that means the weatherman don't know exactly what is going to happen, just that something is going to happen. Not an exact science.
Midnight wasn't very happy with all his sisters and niece coming into the house today. He gave a glance and then departed for the nether regions until his relatives all left.
Well I probably forgot things I wanted to say, but there is always next time.
