Bye Bye Storm

Well, the storm Octave went further south than we are.  We did get a nice slow rainfall out of it for a day or so.  Nothing that caused any damages, just slowly came down and soaked in, so it should be green for a while now.  It was pretty much a non event here.  Alamos got much more rain than we did; but I haven't heard of any damages there either.  I haven't read anything from the Baja about how they fared.

This morning I went and got a haircut as I am feeling a bit better.  Oh it feels so good to have that done.  My throat feels back to normal; whether the infection will come back or not I don't know as I had to stop taking the medicine after 3 days instead of 6 or 7 days.  My mouth is still very sore and have to get to the store for some yoghurt with active ingredients in it so bolster up what the antibiotics killed off.

So my good intentions are to go to art class this evening if I am still awake.  It was 2 a.m. when I got to sleep last night and up as usual at 6 a.m. so may fade later.  I think I may have a siesta this afternoon.  Tough life isn't it?  Watch a movie until late and then have a siesta in the afternoon, too funny this retirement gig.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day to everyone, hope you have a wonderful day filled with your loved ones.

We decided yesterday, after listening to some YouTube videos of The Platters, to go and buy tickets for the show after all. I headed uptown to the auditorium where the tickets are being sold and bought them. So we are all set to go, we will have to leave our painting class a little early to get to the show on time; but that should be fine.

I also stopped uptown and got a much needed haircut at the same time. We both usually go to a lady that is near here; but I happened to walk by a place while I was uptown that was just opening up for the day. I was the first customer, so no waiting. She was 10 pesos cheaper than our usual lady (40 pesos instead of 50 pesos, about $4.00 instead of $5.00), a double bonus.

We went to our painting class last night and it was fun. I finished my first painting, which was supposed to be a study of light and shadow. I will just say that it looks much better from afar, very far. LOL

Chore Day

Chore Day

Yesterday was a "chore" day. I went to the drugstore and got my prescriptions refilled and then got a haircut. I laughed afterwards with Roy, about the conversation with the hairdresser. She asked me if I color my hair, when I told her, no, she remarked that I don't have very much grey in it. I said to Roy, in one way it was a compliment; but on the other hand, how old does she think I look? Hmmmm. She also thought that rather than doing laundry with my "new do", we should be going out to a restaurant. Regardless, I still had to do the laundry and so on to the laundromat after the hairdresser. Roy hung the clothes to dry after I returned and then he washed the car. I had taken the car to do the laundry; but we hadn't used it for over a week (or maybe 2) before that, so it was very dusty. We are going to San Carlos today, so it needed to be washed. Later on in the afternoon Ciro came up and asked Roy if he wanted to go fishing; but Roy hadn't eaten yet and decided he didn't want to go as they don't usually return until after 7 or even later. I made shrimp tacos for supper and then we relaxed for the evening.

This morning we are going to pick up Marilyn and Edgar at the RV campground in San Carlos, and then go to a Ceramics show, have lunch and then on to an Art show. It should be an interesting day.
