waiting for the other shoe to drop . . .

October in Fla. seems to be like June in other areas. It has been hot (or cold) for so many months that we just go and "do" all the things that we have not done due to the terrible weather. DH & I finally signed paperwork on the Jax. beach condo, which is in the process of being gutted. Driving out there this afternoon to meet with a friend who has good decorating ideas and the contractor, etc.
My Mom is not doing well. If she lives a few more weeks I'll be really amazed. Just decided to not attend the niece's wedding in N. C. in 2 weeks as DH has booked a kayaking trip the 4 days before with his best friends from college. It is their 41st anniversary, and we have been celebrating together for several years. In the middle of Fla, then his 45th H. S. reunion in south Fla. Just too much driving around the countryside. I keep thinking of the Beach Boys song--Round, round, get around, I get around".
Some sleep at night would be nice-waking up thinking about Mom, life, etc. Then I start crying, and the nose fills up and I can't breathe. Good golly miss Molly.
Did get to go out to dinner with 4 GF's last night for my birthday dinner. It was a sweet time.
Just 2 more years to see about collecting all the social security $ that I paid in since first job at 16. (If there is any-but that's another story)
Did sign up for the Quilt University class on Faces, and have finished the first 2 lessons. Thanks Kathi for the info. Have to work more on 3rd lesson this week.
More coffee and a shower is needed for the brain to function.

Sara, so sorry to hear about your mum. It's a defining time of life, realising that she won't be around much longer. Sending lots of love your way. Fran
