Well, I broke down and soaked in the bathtub in the water — the hottest I could stand. Was able to get out of the time just fine but did wish I took a shower instead to get out quicker. The hot water felt so good that I was relaxed even more so than I was over an hour or two ago. My bath ended my “me” time for this Saturday. Bing, once again was in the bathroom with me, waiting for me to get out of the tub, and once again, he sat on the tub’s ledge listening to me talk to him. What a fine cat he is. So loving, so caring, so cuddly, snuggly, and precious. Not one mean bone in his body — at least I think he does not have a mean bone in his body now anyway, lol. The Andy Griffith Show is still playing on TV Land and boy do I miss that show. Whatever happened to good television programming is beyond me except for the change in the times, and people’s interests are so different from the 70′s and the 80′s when the good shows were out there and no bad things happening on television today was not even heard of back in the 70′s or 80′s. I wish I could go back twenty to thirty years and relive them to make what I did wrong or incorrect right and be a different person that I am today. I am a little tired now and relaxed and ready for bed now. I can not believe that I spent an hour and a half in the tub soaking and washing up for the night. It sure does feel so good to be clean and smelling good. I take a shower twice a day on most nights but tonight was the first shower I took today since it was the weekend. Since this is my last entry of the day, April 26, 2008, I will be back tomorrow if the weather proves to be decent and foul weather does not occur. I am going to sign off for the night and see all my DD friends and readers tomorrow morning. Good night and God bless you all.

My evening has been fine and quiet. Finally finished watched some recorded shows and now listening to The Andy Griffith Show and planning on taking a quick shower before heading to bed for the evening. Did a lot of relaxing, watching television, reading, and Bing cuddled with me three different times. When he is cuddling with me, I do not like to interrupt his napping time with me because he is so cute when he is napping and cuddling with me. When he finally left the bed, I felt I was free to do what I wanted and I wanted to come back and write some more. Maybe after my shower I will come back before retiring for the night. I am not planning on going to church tomorrow morning since my back is aching enough. Thank goodness for shower chairs today, lol, sitting in the shower is better. I do not think soaking in a bath would be a good idea tonight but I have seriously considered that a few times in the past two hours as well even though getting up and out a tub is difficult during this time of the day or evening as we so call it. I did enjoy my “me” time and my phone only rang once so far today and that was when JS called around 6 p.m.. Waking up every morning wondering if HE is going to call me has been on my mind too and she did call yesterday but not today and she still does not get the message of me not picking up the phone to talk to her that I do not want to talk her. She still does not leave me alone exactly. I want HE to leave me alone right now. I am dealing some serious issues right now. I plan on coming back after my shower or tomorrow — see you all later and please excuse me for bickering about some things over and over again. Thanks DD friends and readers,

Another day, another weekend day I am taking for “me” time. I am vowing to myself from now on, since last week, that I am taking time for “me” and my cat Bing. However, today, I will be taking phone calls only for a select few only. I am dealing with a sore back and despite the soreness, I am moving about, but moving about very slowly. I do not know what I did except maybe sleeping wrong or got up to stand wrong. I am watching recordings of television shows that I recorded days ago. I think I am going to take Saturdays as my “me” time from this day forward and when I go to church with friends on Saturday, my “:me” time will begin right when I get home. I have not been to church on Saturday or Sunday for a long time but I intend on returning back soon. My weekdays have been filled with things to do that by Friday night I am definitely ready to spend the weekend. So far today I am really enjoying my “me” time and had cuddled or snuggled with Bing a couple of times today so far. I even took a nap, a little one, and I feel ok. My back is less sore than it was a few hours ago from sleeping on it correctly and getting some of the kink out. I still do not know what I did to my back. I am doing better now, though.

My new neighbor is younger than the neighbor who once lived below me but he is 10 to 11 years older than me. I hope he likes it here.

It is an hour away from being the noon hour here in Wisconsin so I better say good morning to all my DD friends and DD readers before afternoon rolls around. Had gotten up at 9:05 a.m. this morning, a little later than usual from my weekly usual time of getting up. As a matter of fact, I did not hear my alarm go off this morning and it is my cell phone alarm that usually wakes me up. At least I am dressed for the day even though I am not going anywhere or have plans to leave my apartment today. I am even not going to answer my phone to everyone today, either. I am going to have one of my days. If the weather holds out, I will be back later today…if not, I will be back tomorrow.
