Retiring hiking boots and rearranging flowers
Okay..it has been a moderately busy morning.
I took the kind suggestions of a couple of thoughtful people out there and rearranged the flowers on the little doggie's grave. It is much better now and I have restored the symmetry. I am sure my crazy friend will be offended no matter how I try to explain to her how much it bugged me (It wasn't that she put the flowers out, it was that it messed up the symmetry and how it looked) because she will say that I am a control freak and I always have to have things my way. Be that as it may, I am much happier now because I have restored the balance to the little arrangement. I know I sound like Monk here but it was REALLY bothering me, every time I looked at it. It's fixed now.

Hiking boots:
I have FINALLY decided for sure that it is time to retire my 8 year old hiking boots. My heels hurt a lot anyway all the time but they seem to hurt MORE whenever I wear those old boots. We went to the park yesterday and walked two miles. I wore my Ryka walking shoes instead of those old boots and while my heels still hurt, they didn't hurt nearly as bad. I think it is time the boots are retired. I don't feel the need to run out and replace them right now, I am just going to stop wearing them. I may just put them in the Goodwill pile so I won't be able to get to them anymore. (The rule is: Once something goes in the Goodwill bag, you are NOT allowed to take it out again unless you have special dispensation from the Pope).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's it. I got everyone fed and taken care of early. I will put the cockatiels back outside this morning. It has been cool in the mornings but by 11:00 it warms right up. It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day.
I suppose we will do a regular Tuesday today. Cookie is looking forward to Day Care and we will do lunch and go to the range. I don't think I will shoot today. I need a break from shooting for a while. I am pretty much burned out on all the testosterone that reeks from that range and hubby is turning into a closet Range Commando even though he refuses to admit it. I just need a break. I will go and have coffee or go to the Voo Doo store. I don't know where we will have lunch. Today is his day to pick. We went to Maurice's BBQ yesterday and it was very good. Cheap ($3.75 for fried chicken, FF and cole slaw) and tasty.
That's it. I suppose I will take a quick shower and get dressed. Everyone else has been taken care of and it is almost 9:00.
Bye for now.
Bye bye

I am happy you are feeling better now that you have moved the flowers. You wore your boots for 8 years! Wow, I would say they held up quite well. Enjoy your day today with the Range Commando. ;)

I'm glad you fixed the flowers your way.
Have a great day! -
Hi, Mary here :-) I found your journal thru a friend. I can say from personal experience that at times a "helpful friend" has done something I'd wish she hadn't, but has done it with love. In the beginning it may bug me a bit, but later, the love is what I remember & that means more to me than my initial feeling. The love stays, the "bugging me" part does not. ~Mary
