It's Superbowl today, not that it means too much to me other than it is the end of the season. However, I am sure there will be other games somewhere - college or european something or other. It is NEVER the END of the season!
John went to a friend's place to watch it. I have it on here and it looks lopsided in scoring to me but ... what do I know?!!
I was planning on going to visit my friend who has Ahlzhimer's. I thought I would phone her first and see what she thought of it. The phone rang for a long time (not sure if she uses it very often) but she finally answered and sounded like she was asleep - it was 2 pm! She told me she was in bed with a sore back and in her nightgown. I said 'how about I pick you up in 40 minutes and we go for a coffee?' She said 'no'. Nothing covered up in her response!! Just 'no'. I tried to talk her into it but it wasn't going anywhere so I chatted about the snow and the cold and her back pain and she seemed happier. I couldn't talk her into going out though. I said 'another day?' and she agreed to that.
Well, that left me with an afternoon that was free. What should I do? Go the shopping centre? I'd like to get a gift for my mother-in-law. She will be 102 on Feb.15. She likes clothes. What woman doesn't? especially if someone picks out something you like. I may still do that. I started cleaning up the back bedroom but didn't get far with that either. Did a few emails, looked through a few files and then cleaned out a few drawers. All very boring but needed to be done.
Now, it's supper. Where did the day go?
I spoke briefly with a lady this afternoon who lost her husband this past year and a short time later took a fall ending up with a bad back fracture. If you think you have problems, think of her. She has been pretty well house bound and on her back for the past 10 weeks or so. There's always someone worse off than you!
Well, the Half Time Show is on now so maybe I will go watch it. If it is just a rocker band, well, I may have to switch channels for a few minutes! Go Eskimos! Oops, wrong conference!!

So was this a relaxing day or a "lost"day? Are you happier when the day is planned? Is your day judged by how much you did? Too often that is how I decide.
I had to smile when you said you started in your back bedroom but didn't finish. That's what always happens to me in our storage room! I wonder if it's ever really finished how I will feel?
