Sunshine

"Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy." The words to this song are very appropriate today. After four days of being inside, Geneo and I ventured out today in the bright sunshine. We got groceries, but the main thing we needed was dog food and bird seed. It's 36 degrees with no wind and feels like a heat wave. The forecast is for more snow tonight and tomorrow. I can't do anything about that, so I'm just going to enjoy today.

The words to the song above have bittersweet memories for us. Several years ago we had a friend who sang them a lot. He has passed away now, but whenever I think of this song, I think of him and vice versa. I know he would be singing it today.

I mentioned we got groceries, etc. We also had to get some prescriptions filled. I wish someone would explain something to me. Geneo called in the prescriptions before we left using the automated phone system. He left a special message for the pharmacist using the phone system. When we got there to pick up the medicine, the order was wrong.  We had to wait about 15 minutes (at the drive-up window) for them to get it right. My questions is: Do they listen to the messages or not? It was very irritating.

Geneo told me I should be thankful we were able to be out and about and to enjoy the beauty around us while we were waiting. I tried, but I was getting hungry, and I have discovered when I get hungry I get cranky. After getting the medicine and going to Walmart and Aldi, we finally ate at KFC.

KFC has a good deal for kids and seniors. Two crispy pieces of chicken, two sides, a cheese stick and a small drink for $3.99. Sometimes they throw in a biscuit, but not always. I guess it depends on the mood of the person who is filling the order. It's quite enough for us, and we get refills on the drinks when we leave. I recommend it to anyone.

Now, we are home, and he's taking a nap. Actually, I think I'll take one, too. What can it hurt??
