The sun is almost sort of out, and a clean house is already getting underway here, gang.

I’ve done 2 loads of laundry so far, a little vacuuming, dusting — and now I’m taking a break to post here.

These are some of the cool things that happened during the week, when I was working nonstop:

For some inexplicable reason, Best Western motels insisted I take a pre-approved travel rewards credit card with a sort of “high limit” (for me, that is — fresh from my 2-year anniversary of declaring bankruptcy). So I said, “Okay!! I’d be happy to!!”

I already had one special credit card set aside for trips to NYC, but it doesn’t have travel rewards. I took this new offer as a sign that I might be traveling again soon! Just like the old days, gang. Traveling! It made me feel really happy.

Also: the husband of my client who died recently — the client I just adored — sent out an invitation to all of us who were caregivers for his wife — a dinner at the yacht club on Buckeye Lake, to honor her. I’m so excited. I can’t wait. It’s this Friday night. It’s about 30 miles from me. The food there is fantastic.

Every time I pass by the freeway exit to their house, I still miss them both so much. I can’t wait to see the husband again and just be with people who knew his precious and wonderful wife. Every time I think of that upcoming dinner, I can see her smiling in my mind’s eye.

Also: The insurance guy came by, to finalize my Medicare stuff and my long-term care insurance — and he got me a great deal for long-term care. This means a lot to me, since I know how much it costs to have someone like me come to your house every day. And/or how expensive it is to stay in a long-term care facility.

Even though my health is kind of phenomenally good, it just gives me a sense of security. Having that added insurance. And it’s only going to cost me $62 a month. Unbelievable!!!

And this: The other day was Patti Hansen’s 69th birthday (Keith Richards’ wife). Keith posted this on Instagram:

And then the following day was Theodora Richards’ 40th birthday! And Keith posted this to Instagram!

I can’t believe she is 40 years old! It’s like she was born just the other day… however. She just had a little boy last year — a boy named Gus. After Keith’s grandfather, Gus Depree. And his other daughter with Patti Hansen, Alexandra, just had a baby boy a few weeks ago — named Elvis!!!

I think it’s so cool that Keith has grandsons named Gus and Elvis — two guys that had such an influence on Keith as a boy.

And while we’re at it, this was on Instagram the other day:

So I will have time tomorrow, finally, to go back to the shooting range to practice with the handgun.

I think it’s kind of amusing that the shooting range is a lot closer to my tiny village than the grocery store is. It says a lot about the people out here. They own guns! And also fly the American flag. And Trump flags… And the village is so unbelievably crime free…

Oh, and the other day, I took one of my clients into the local donut shop in town — Jolly Pirate:

And on the front door was a handwritten sign: WARNING. Premises surveilled by the 2nd Amendment.

And there was a hand-drawn picture of a handgun!

And then on the next door, another sign said: Guns welcome here! Must be kept holstered and concealed!

I don’t know about you, gang, but I’m guessin’ that place never gets robbed… When not only the owner, but probably every guy and gal in the place is concealed-carrying!!

Too cool.

Okay. I think that’s it for now.

I’m gonna get back to the Spring cleaning!!

I hope you’re having a super Sunday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

More driving to town music!!

A great song by Sam Cooke (written under the pen name “Barbara Campbell” — Sam’s wife). “(What A) Wonderful World.” 1960. Totally addictive!! Enjoy, gang!!!
