tvordlj: (Dime)
[personal profile] tvordlj
We've had a low key week so far. Borrowed Mom's car on the weekend when G. arrived and took it back the other day. He's been working on his radio show and we have been enjoying our time together. Poor lad's had an annoying dry cough since he arrived which is worse when he tries to sleep but he's a trooper! We were out to a lovely meal last night at my cousin's apartment, just around the corner from me. Today we're going over to the mall for a poke around and we pick up a rental car tomorrow for the second week.

My 91 year old uncle died last week but they aren't having a funeral because he didn't want one. There will be a memorial service at the end of the month at the veteran's hospital where he was the last few weeks, I think it's a service for any of the vets that died in the facility that month.

Yesterday, I was clearing some old stuff off the top shelf of my desk and looking for something else when a dime came tumbling down!! How on earth it got up there in the first place, I don't know. Well, I do, considering I think of them all as gifts and hellos from Dad. Lots of these appearances don't seem logical. Some i discover where I knew there was no change like in a pocket or section of my purse. There would be no reason at all why there would be any kind of coin on that top shelf of the desk which normally just holds cds yet there it was. When I was in the hospital, Mom brought over a couple of magazines and one fell out of one of those and she'd had them in a previously empty (so she thought) bag. I already have one on my desk that i'd found quite some time back. I have three in my bedroom that i'd found there at different times. Most of the finds just go into my wallet or in the change jar. I should have started a separate jar for them when they started appearing after Dad died. I wonder how many i'd have by now? Dad was very thrifty so he would have approved!
