Ah what a day it’s been! Our high was 35degrees today and I was cold all day long! The wind was really kicking up, too. BRRRRRR!

I finally got around to making reservations for a room in Savannah for next weekend. Ken thought I was going to leave it too late and not get a room, but the hotel said they had plenty of space available.

Another thing I left until the last minute was sending Mama a birthday card. I bought it last night and got it all ready to mail, but we were out of stamps, so I took it to work with me thinking I could run it through the postage machine at work. Well, they had let that run out of postage, so I ended up having to go to the post office to buy a stamp. I just bought one stamp and then couldn’t figure out how to get it to stick on the envelope. It didn’t have a peel off back and when I tried licking it, it didn’t get sticky, so I still had to wait in the mile-long line at the windows to get someone to stick it on. They used a glue stick and she made a note to check the stamps in the machine out. She stamped the stamp with a stamper thingy, so even if it falls off, they will know that it HAD a stamp on it and still deliver it.

Then as I was sitting at a red light after leaving the post office, I heard the screech of tires behind me. I could not look into the rearview mirror — I just sat there, trapped by the light and nowhere to get out of the way of the car that was laying down rubber trying to get stopped before sliding into either my rear end or the intersection (there were two lanes). Thankfully she was in the other lane, so I was spared being rear-ended, but let me tell you, I shook like a leaf for about 10 minutes afterwards. I’m so glad I went to the bathroom before I left work!

We’re going to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra Sunday afternoon. I think we’re going to enjoy that very much.

Well, that’s all for now.

Love to all,

Margaret
