TODAY AND YESTERDAY

I had a very busy day. It was good. I love being busy! NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT NONSENSE. In the morning I planned to go swimming early but it was raining so has to wait for awhile before walking to the clubhouse. By the time I got there my friend was doing a class so we only had a short time to talk. Anyhow I did my forty five minute swimming. Then I registered for stained glass classes on Monday and Tuesday mornings. I went today and had a lot of help getting started. I will go back every morning unless something else comes up.
Yesterday afternoon we went to the pool. A lot of our friends were there. The friend who we stopped talking to – at least he stopped talking to us, was there. In case you don’t know, after we went home from Florida last year we told him I didn’t want to play bridge with him anymore. He got very upset and that ended the friendship. I decided I would pretend that nothing happened. I was not going to cower in a corner. We both go to the same pool and that’s what I was going to continue doing. Anyhow yesterday we were all sitting in a circle. He sat and looked very sad, upset or ready to bust a gut because he was either upset or frustrated because we were there and not talking to him. We would talk to him. He doesn’t want to talk to us. I guess when we told him we didn’t want to play bridge with him he got very upset. I wonder if we should try to make up. It will be awkward for our friends if we don’t. I don’t think our relationship could ever be what it was. He was married to my very BEST friend but she past away. He’s a very opinionated and LOUD man! Hubby says we shouldn’t try to make up. He did call him in the Fall but our friend never called back. I wonder if he expects us to apologize. Actually he owes us an apology. He was terrible to play bridge with. He upset most of us at one time or another.
After stained glass this morning I came home to have lunch and then do about five loads of washing. I slept in between changing the wash.
I made salmon for supper. It was terrible. I don’t know why I can’t make a decent piece of fish. Even hubby didn’t eat it so I know it was bad as he’ll eat anything. Luckily we also had salad, potatoes and fruit.
We stayed home tonight. I started working on a new scrapbook. A Family one. I have a lot of pictures and will just select a few pictures and design a page.
So time to go to sleep. Tomorrow is another busy day.
Take care.

I’m drinking some nighttime tea and will head to bed soon. Not sure what I’d do about your former friend. If you have made an effort to make up then I’d wait for him to make the next move probably.

I agree with Crystal Butterfly. Perhaps, let the ball stay in his court??? I am glad you are keeping busy and enjoying yourself. :*) Sorry about the fish. I don’t think it was YOU. Perhaps the fish was not very tasty?? NOT your cooking!! love/ bighugz.

sounds good. hugs p

My idea of the perfect fish is called fish sticks. LOL! I wouldn’t be able to cook a piece of fish, either.

I hate difficult situations but all you can do is be friendly and let him do the rest. You don’t have to play bridge with him to be friends. I love salmon! too bad it didn’t turn out.

I’m sorry the fish didn’t turn out. Please try not to let the grumpy man bother you. Enjoy the swimming, stained glass classes and scrapbooking!

That’s an awkward situation! Maybe he’ll come round and make nice. I’m not a fan of cooking fish either. Have fun with your activities!

If he annoys you, why make up with him? Good riddance I say. Perhaps you overcook the fish and it is too dry? You do not need to cook fish very long at all, Try poaching in in hot water and lemon juice, it tends to stay moister and you need to season it very well or it tends to be bland.

I too agree with Crystal butterfly. Hope today is a good day for you. Love,

He’ll either learn from experience and act like a decent human or he’ll wallow in his own ick. Either way, the choice is his.

I guess it’s a good thing that I don’t care for fish because I can’t cook it either.

That is sooo true they can never be replaced.

RYN: I play Words With Friends, too! isn’t it fun?!

You must be in an indoor heated pool. I just got the chills when you said you went swimming because I know how cold it is getting outside, then I realized you had to be in a nice warm pool. I hope you had fun.
