Friday Already?

I badly needed a haircut, so just before nine we were off to the hairdresser. Do you ever give the hairdresser a once over, judging whether or not she will be up with the latest cuts? Well, this gal was older, thinning, colored hair - I thought to myself, "I'm in trouble." She took much longer than the other beauticians and when I left I said to myself, "It will grow back." Bruce always calls me "Cutie" when I come out with the fresh cut - you gotta love him.

Anyway, driving home, there was a yellow convertible in front of us - top down. It's 32F degrees today. And he was from Massachusetts. What the heck is he doing in this small town - for sure he must have been lost.

Bruce finally got the call from the Ford service center that our truck might be ready today. We'll have to take it for a short ride to retrain ourselves on how to drive it! It's been at least 10 days since it was dropped off for repair. If in fact we do get the truck today, it looks like we'll be heading into Ottawa next week to buy the tile for our kitchen backsplash.

The other day on Facebook, I also came across someone with the same last name as an old friend that I had from my Mass Mutual days which was years and years ago. To make a long story short, the person on FB was the nephew of my long ago friend and he gave me her email address. She was also a graduate of the same high school - LHS. She now lives in California. It seems everyone I have found through the internet, either classmates or co-workers, all live in either Florida or California. Has everyone left Massachusetts? I take that back, one friend (Jane) only made it as far south as Virginia and another friend (Shirley) lives in Texas.

Yesterday, I also had a doctor appointment - good news - my levels of hemoglobin and iron are now normal. The doctor feels that by taking a daily dose of iron for the rest of my life, I can maintain these normal levels. Also got my flu shot - thus a sore arm today. Life is good!!!!
