When I was a kid in the desert, they would come out just as the streetlights came on. We would throw a Frisbee toward them and they would follow it for a short distance.

I had to run some errands this morning. At one of my stops, my favorite cashier was back. I hadn't seen her in a few weeks. It turns out she changed shifts to pick up some extra hours. She is an older lady and loves to have fun with her hair, sometimes pink, sometimes blue, or whatever. Today she was back to mahogany but she was wearing a t-shirt that read:

"Diversity is our strength, not a weakness."

She is just awesome. 

Ashley called me 'sister' today.

Being with my dad although I had to remind whom I was with his Alzheimer's. Finding out he has a heart issue and sees the specialist for that tomorrow. I know well with him at now 74,doctors do not want to take a chance with him on the operating table. Something may go wrong and he could go 

Seeing one of my students happy this morning. Went with him and his mom clothes shopping for his female side. Has Asperger's Syndrome and he came out as a crossdresser 2 weeks ago. Luckily his mom was aware with LGBTQ issues with Autism and Asperger's doing her research. Also supportive too and she loves him no matter what. His mom is glad I am there for support as well, I give back by helping the LGBTQ youth in my spare time. Was happy with the purchases they made and did get his ears pierced as well. Good kid whom that does good in my class turning in his work on time

You are more than sister, Annika. You are a kindred spirit. And I want to thank you for your trust. To see your magical smile. A lot of people are scared to show themselves because a lifetime of hurt or uncertainty has creeped in. You are all genuinely beautiful.

This will be very weird but... I am into some weird stuff. This girl is like... incredible. I can't eat more than a meal every couple of days, but this girl just packs it away, and is so affable... she makes me happy, lol. I've been binge watching her content.

A couple of  hours at the  beauty parlour.  Eyebrows  waxed and clear gel nails.Hairdressers  tomorrow  for a micro trim  wash and blow  dry.
It's a  hard life being retired! 

I bring my wife coffee in bed every morning and get a kiss from her. She was especially sleepy this morning but gave me a kiss. I crawled back into bed and after several minutes she looked over at me and said "April, I'll take my kisses now. I'm awake." I reminded her that she'd already kissed me but was obviously still half asleep. She responded with "Can't I have more?" Of course, I obliged.

A friend is recovering from yesterday's surgery. 
I made her some food and took it over today at lunchtime so she would have more food to eat.

Today was preparation day for my Motus AY Laser Hair Removal Treatment appointment tomorrow.  Finally shaved my chest and arms. Tomorrow I get laser hair removal on my face, neck, chest, and arms. I am so excited.

So exciting!

It's like a little spa day mixed with some serious self-care magic.

Best of luck with your appointment tomorrow!

Try to show appreciation each day for what someone does.

Try to show appreciation each day for who someone is, her or his character, industriousness, and so on.

Try to be thankful each day for what you have.

This all makes life better and you likely will be happier.

That is good news! You are such a sweetheart, Chrissy.

Was at a coffeehouse earlier this morning.  A lady I did not know told me that she really liked my pantsuit.  She said it made me look like top management.  Not a big deal, I know, but nice to hear.  We were in line. 

Have a very nice weekend everyone!

I can run for a  bus and  catch it! Not bad  for  67, last year  I could hardly walk a few yards without  getting  out of breath
