I'm NOT A Little Old Lady Yet!

I officially feel old!  Everywhere I've gone recently female cashiers have called me "sweetie" or "hon".

Thank you to everyone who has commented in Eler Beth's journal.  She has really enjoyed reading the comments.  She has spent the afternoon and evening at her cousins' house, and she wrote an entry today about the movie she watched there.  Her older cousin M starts high school this year and went to register today.

It has been rainy again today and I've felt blah.  Yesterday evening I started getting a headache that I get sometimes when it's stormy.  I had a cup of coffee late to help with the headache and ended up staying awake way into the night, so I've been drowsy all day and accomplished very little.

Yesterday Eler Beth had a doctor's appointment and afterwards we had a late lunch at Piccadilly Cafeteria.  It was the first time either of us had been there, and we really enjoyed it.  The food was delicious and the portions were huge -- too big, really.  The restaurant itself was bright, clean, and attractive.  It reminded me a little of the old Blue Boar Cafeterias that used to be in the Louisville area.  We will definitely go back there.

I have been enjoying helping to proof for Distributed Proofreaders which I wrote about in a previous entry.  One of the projects I recently helped with was a biography of Dr. Russell Conwell and his famous lecture entitled "Acres of Diamonds".  I found it so interesting that I did some research on him and looked for a copy of the lecture and the biography.  I'm not sure if what I helped to proof is available yet as an e-book on Project Guttenberg or not. 

Well, I don't think I have anything else to write about, certainly not anything interesting.  I need to do some seasonal cleaning -- I mean I REALLY need to do some seasonal cleaning! -- and that's about all I see happening in the near future.

So let me get my blah self off of here.  I caught up with about a dozen journals on Monday, but haven't read any more yesterday or today.  I'll try to work onthat tomorrow.  Goodnight, and I hope everyone is having a good week.
