Wednesday, Mar. 4, 2020 – Busy Runaround Day

Hi Sweetie,
What a day! It started out early with me doing the not so pleasant job of draining and rinsing out the black water tank, not my most fun job, particularly since I had a few leaks in my hoses, what with so many joints on the long stretch, but it needed a good rinseout. After showering and having breakfast, I headed out to my euchre game, where I had some ups and downs, ending up about even with wins and losses (my luck improved after I started eating cheese puffs, would you believe!), then ran down to the feed store for a few bales of hay and some feed for the horses, then a quick run down to another wealth management appointment, as I ‘m still trying to figure out how to best manage our nest egg so it lasts, and to figure out the best way to create growth for later income, blah, blah, blah. While the last one was intent on selling me an insurance backed annuity product, this one was more of a brokerage agent, but they definitely asked me a lot more questions about my situation that the last guy, who was really only interested in selling me his product. The next step is for them to analyze my current portfolio and put together a retirement plan for me, we’ll see where that leads. I went from there to Walmart to pick up a few things, though I forgot my shopping list so I had to call brother Jeff to read it to me to remember what I needed. He was good enough to feed the horses for me, because I was short on time. I had just enough to grab a slice of pizza and an iced tea before heading over to the pavilion at Jupiter Farms Park for an OTL meeting, which dragged on until 9:30. They’re trying to recruit me to take over a big chunk of the work, but I’m not sure I want to get that involved. I offered a number of suggestions to reduce the workload by a lot, and there were some who resisted and others who embraced the ideas, I guess we’ll just have to see how it goes from there. More discussions to come, that’s for sure! I stopped at Publix for some ice cream. I haven’t had any in a long time, hoping to lose some weight, but I find I keep eating more munchies at night than I ever did when we were having ice cream in the evening, so I decided to see if it helps. I have lost a few pounds, but not as much as I thought I would considering all the exercise I’ve been getting lately. Anyway, I love their house brand Dulce de Leche, so I picked up some of that. I got back and found Jeff on the patio talking with Karen on the phone and grilling giant pork chops, so after I brought the groceries in, I poured myself a glass of wine and joined him. Had a nice chat, until I finally had to come inside because of them mosquitos and the hour. Jeff tried to get me to join him for dinner, and it sounded lovely, with mashed potatoes and green beans, but it was 10:30 by then, and I just can’t eat that much food that late! I did have another glass of wine and a little ice cream before going to bed, but that was about all I could handle. I’ll gladly take him up on his offer tomorrow, at a more reasonable hour, like 6 or 7:00, so I may be having leftovers, which will be great! Who doesn’t love to eat when someone else does the cooking? Just enough time for one SHEILD episode, now I’m off to bed. Good night, baby! Love you!
