1:51 A.M.

I have been up for about an hour. We have been going to sleep very early lately. I think we were in bed by nine thirty. I guess it’s because I didn’t have a nap yesterday. In the morning I went swimming. Let me tell you that the water was delicious. It was just like being in a bath! I am really enjoying the swimming. Most mornings the same women are there. I talk. I swim for about an hour and a half. I use to rush out after an hour but lately I realize there is no reason to rush and I LOVE being in the warm water.
When I got out of the pool I went to the library to report my lost book. She noted it on my card and I just have to wait to see if it is returned. If not there will be a small charge.
Next I came home and finished the washing. Hubby had folded it so all I had to do was put mine away. I was annoyed because he had taken part of the newspaper. Usually he is up first so he takes the newspaper and I wait. Yesterday I was up first. I prepared the newspaper to read and never noticed he took a section. Normally I don’t care but this time it bothered me because I never saw him take it. I told him he had to finish the washing as "punishment" as I was going swimming. Next time I will hide the paper until I can read it!!!!!!! LOL!
In the afternoon I went for lunch with a friend. Then we went to a wonderful store with costume jewelry. I bought a necklace with a Jewish star and a scarf.
We came home. I dropped her off. I prepared some chicken for supper as I had invited my cousin and her. Well just after I had the chicken breasts breaded and in the fridge she called. Her husband wasn’t feeling well. I got dressed and ran over. We called the doctor and he thought my friend had an episode of Vertigo. My hubby stayed with my man friend and I went to with my girlfriend to the drug store. I called my cousin to cancel supper and told her to come Friday night instead. Now I wonder if my chicken can last till Friday night. Any ideas????????
I spoke to my girlfriend who lost her hubby. She sounded ok but her daughters were there. She doesn’t know if she will come to Florida or not. Monday her daughters go back to Amsterdam and Russia!!!!!!!! She will be alone although she has a good friend there.
So I should go back to sleep. I don’t know if I’ll go swimming in the morning as my hips etc. hurt. Probably arthritis. Before going to bed I took two TYLENOL. Now to download my diary. I haven’t done it in awhile.
 NIGHT!
I finished two books. One Summer by Baldachi and Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. Both an easy read.
