talk talk talk.

america's best had my eyeglass order......i called Saturday to see if they had come in.  Yasmine said yes, just come to the door and someone will let you in. 

so off i go.....glad for the drive.  arrive and in the parking lot there is a man playing electric violin, he has a sign that says Father of Two....need to take care of my family....so I put some money in his case......and walked to the store's door.

The manager comes, gets my name......says to wait.  Ok, so there I stand on the sidewalk.....this is the new way we live.  He opens the door, hands me the bag.....I say wait, let me see if they fit alright.  They need adjustments........can he handle it?  He offers no chair.....he agrees to adjust them.  It's weird......getting done, but I don't know, this is my 3rd encounter with ol Gary and I just don't like him.  There is no smile in his eyes......just his lips, he registers as a cold uncaring sort.  Makes me  uncomfortable, feel like he doesn't really like people.  But what can you do?  Publix is right next door and people are entering the store easily to shop.  But not at America's Best, not on Gary's watch.  Why didn't he grab a chair and table to work with customers outside at least?  It was a clean sunshiny warm day so there was no discomfort really, just felt that I had spent hundreds of dollars for glasses and this was all Gary could come up with.  He didn't even take the glasses in to clean them after handling them.......had to ask for the microcloths they are to include with every pair of glasses.  I know I can be crabby and grumpy, but I was really in a good mood before Gary.

Got that off my chest......right now I've got Duffy's Rockferry cd playing........sure do like her voice.  She was being heard a lot in America around the same time Adele came along.  I like both singers, but I love Duffy's voice.  Very cool......lots of emotion.  The dishwasher and washing machine are busy.......I spilled syrup on the comforter as Rio threw up on the other side.  THANK God for washing machines!  Rio is better this morning......yay Rio!

Duffy is singing "Mercy".......so good.  Makes me feel alive, like dancing.....whoooooooo wheeee........gotta singJ!  I'm beggin' you for mercy, why won't you release me?  It has a sexy negro spiritual  vibe with shake rattle and roll undertones........gotta dance some more!

Make your own party.........why not? 

Today I'm planning to make chicken drummettes.  I washed them, layered them in paper towels and put them in a covered bowl to dry yesterday.  Today I'll roll them in baking powder and salt free garlic herb spices........so light, crispy and delicious.  Takes about 60 to 70 minutes in the oven depending on how many you make.  So tender on the outside and yummy crispness on the outside.

I took a quick shower and dressed in a long dress......very colorful.....lavender, purple, red, whtie, peach, yellow.....flowery and comfy....added a cardigan and red slippers!  An easy comfy day on my own..........trying to shake off the restlessness. 

I wish my daughter would call me and say hey can we come visit you today........i wish i wish i wish........just wishing it makes me sad.  it won't happen.  but it never keeps me from wishing.  there is no agenda, i'm lonely and struggling despite all my attempts to keep busy.  even the birds and squirrels are off somewhere else today........somebody come visit!!!!!!!!!!
