Tomorrow is Monday. The holidays are over and life returns to normal. It's been a busy time for me with family, friends and celebrations.
I look at the back of my left hand and wonder what was I thinking New Year's Eve as I let some "artist" paint a tattoo. It did not disappear with soap and water as I expected and I now have a brownish ugly design on the back of my hand. I know it will eventually wear off, but I dread what my bridge playing friends will think when I go to the House of Cards on Tuesday. I could cover it with a bandage but that probably would be worse. I guess I shouldn't have inhaled so much peppermint oxygen at the visiting Oxygen Bar.
I got an email this morning that my friend Liz finally died. Unfortunately she has been living at the Care Center for the last five years and I have been visiting her weekly until the last few months. Her dementia had been so severe she had no idea who I was and it was becoming so painful for me to visit with her that way, for I couldn't help but remember how she was cute, fun, and a great skiier. Thank goodness it is over for her. She died peacefully in her sleep.
