Today I felt really, really lazy. The Beast was up early and went to the store to pick up a few things we needed. Bread, lunchmeat, milk and some bratwurst that he had a taste for. What that needed was some buns and sauerkraut but that's just my opinion when they are not made on a bbq.
It was another yucky day here so guess what I did? I never took off my pj's (the new ones) and just had a lazy day of watching some monster movies since Halloween is so close and that seems like what is mostly being shown. I would have loved to see some of the old Abbott and Costello monster movies because those were always good for a laugh or two.
I caught Hellboy, Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, Jurassic Park 1 and 3. I would have loved to see the second one, too, but they don't show that one much. I have the DVD's for all of them but don't have the new one....yet! I'm hoping to get it soon but it's going to take us a few months to recover from my trip to Chicago (the car rental was horrendous due to the first place wanting the Beast to sign since I had his charge card). The second place just asked if he was there and I lied and said he left with his sister since she didn't realize we were renting a car. But it was almost double the cost of the original place where I had reserved a car. I'll never use that one again...for sure. So I just put the DVD on my Wish list that I have here at my desk. LOL! By the time I end up getting a couple of these, I'll get them at marked down prices which is great.
I spent the day just watching TV, playing my game and then catching up on FB. The Beast didn't bother me much, thankfully, since it was one of those kind of days when I just wanted to be alone with myself. I wouldn't have minded if my great-grands had shown up. That's always a treat for me. But, alas, it was not to be. I really want to talk to Chewlee after she starts her piano lessons. I know she was interested in learning that since she also plays it on her iPad. She's awful at it but she will learn. I remember when the Princess started in band at her school. She learned and loved it. Not the piano..she learned the b-flat piccolo. I went to their Christmas concert and was very surprised at how good all the kids were. I also discovered just why she picked out the piccolo. Her band teacher (good looking guy) played it.....LOL.
It was a day for memories of some of the good, fun times with my kids when they were young. I guess it's part of growing old and thinking about when you are no longer around to share their good and bad times. Will they miss me? Will there be a hole where I used to be? Will they talk about me at all? No one wants to think about dying but the older we get, the more you realize you won't always be there. I would love to see Chewlee go to college, get married, have children. The little things that they all conquer would be nice to see. Learning to ride a horse....going to a prom. I may never see these things and that makes me sad. But I will try to live each day in a positive way and just hope to see some of these things while I am around.
Wow...didn't mean to get morose. That's not how I feel right now. I am determined to outlive the Beast at least long enough to try to get to some of my bucket list that I started a while back. I want to visit Australia. I want to see Hawaii. I want to see my grandkids happy AND my great-grands, too. I would love to either buy or rent an RV and see some of this great country of ours that I haven't seen yet. I have never been to New England. I would love to share my adventures with some of my sisters who are able to travel with me (and still help with the driving...LOL!)
There's more but I'm not sharing it. Some things wouldn't be interesting to anyone but me. But travel is a definite.
Love you all. I am grateful for my family and friends and want to let you know that since yesterday is gone, today is almost over and tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Be kind to all; you never know what burdens they may be carrying and they hide it from you. ***Hugs***
