MILESTONE DAY

Today is a double whammy day.  It is Ash Wednesday the start of Lent.  I know it isn't a big day but if it is Lent then Spring is just up the road. In addition it 100 days till my retirement.  I may be able to fudge the actual last day of work but I will reserve that for a later blog if I can work out the details.
Not much else here but I do have 10-15 Crocusses (i know that is the wrong spelling but beats me, I hit the spell checker and all I get is a highlight.  Dumb software.) up.  Might be too early but they signal hope for warmer weather.  I know in July I will be bitching about how hot it is but if I am retired then I can sit in a tub of cool water and think about things.

Update

Nothing much new going on.  You know, just the usual winter stuff.  I get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, make a few beads and then bed.  Kinda monotonous. Oh well Spring is just around the corner.  I will say that this Winter has been very very mild.  Not complaining, just commenting.  Under 120 calendar days to retirement and I have a countdown running. There is a lady in the office who says she is going at the same time so I tell her the countdown numbers.  This seems to please her.
Oh well.  I went to the gym today so my back would stop hurting and did my usual 150,000 pounds.  I hate to go but always feel better once I have gone. I am making it once a week but need to increase that to 1+ times a week.  Don't think I can get in 2 times till June but the desire is there. What I lack is the time.  Seems like I only go on Saturdays now.
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a really nice day.
