TODAY I SMILED…
~ Hanging out with Kristie. Always generous, she came over equipped with presents – B-52s Funplex Remix cd and pins, astrology gold coin, Avon basics hand cream, Beauty Boutique Beauty Palette, assorted writing paper, and religious Shepherd bracelets. I bought her lunch at Hi-Grade Steakhouse (which she lost about a half hour afterward, the fun of pregnancy!) We also visited her father; it was good to see him again too.
~ After walking into Hi-Grade’s, a restaurant I go to several times a year but haven’t been to in awhile, waitress Frankie asks if I’d like my regular table, as I always sit by the back wall window. Kris needed a warmer table so Frankie led us to what she dubbed as the warmest table in the room. It was cool being remembered though and having a “regular table”!
~ Finding myself at Target’s with Kris where I decided to buy a Walkman/batteries so I could listen to the John Edward tape I checked out from the library. I haven’t had a working tape player in years!

Moving Movie, Moving More, Moving Out
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Going to a movie, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, for the first time in a long time
~ Carole's father-in-law, Tom, is doing a bit better than yesterday and is responding when asked to move his hand or foot
~ Seeking a new assistant living home for dad before he leaves the hospital, Carole and I agree that the second one we look at, Woodhaven Retirement Community, has a cheeriness, warmth and interaction with Alzheimer’s patients that pleases us.

Caring friend, Memorable music, Left-overs
TODAY I SMILED…
~ In the early early moments of the day I feel queasy and end up in the bathroom for a long time, Smokie saunters in after awhile to sit by my side and keep me company
~ Hearing a bar of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini on the radio and instantly taken to the wistful beauty of a favorite movie, Somewhere In Time
~ My Applebee left-overs, mozzarella sticks and cheese quesadillas, taste just as good as they did at the restaurant, thanks to the aid of a wet paper towel

Good goals, Good guy, Good grains
TODAY I SMILED…
~ Creating my tentative “101 things to do in 1,001 days” list
~ Slipping an extra buck to our very thoughtful waiter at Applebee’s tonight –he was so attentive with soda refills that we didn’t have to ask for one!
~ Watching my pile for donated rice grains grow bigger and bigger on freerice.com

Dream cat, Cheap gas, Posties
TODAY I SMILED...
~ Waking up remembering a dream I just had in which I was sitting in my church's school cafeteria watching an informal court case taking place. For some reason Smokie automatically appeared in my arms, which were empty a second before. "Hi Smokie! How did you get here?", I asked. A lady in my dream smiled and said "Oh! You have a cat!" I replied "Yes, he comes with me everywhere I go!" It was weird having a dream in which I didn't feel it was a dream, as dreams usually go, but I knew inside my dream that Smokie was from my daily life and not the realm I was dreaming in.
~ I paid $1.76 for gas on my way home from the bank, then noticed that the gas at my usual station was $1.82. I'm glad I didn't hold off that extra 5 or so blocks!
~ Receiving a lovely postcard from Sia of the Philipines.
