Good Friday

At one stage Cliff was thinking about going to the club
for the Seafood lunch followed by the Good Friday Auction.

However when it came down to it, he decided that he wanted
to do nothing. So we both veged out! ALL DAY!!!

A Busy Thursday

I woke up early Thursday and went around to Karen
Roberts and got her to colour my hair for me. That
way it was all done by 11 a.m. in time for me to
go to Sexy Nails for my appointment.

I enjoyed the pedicure.

I was done by 1 p.m. I went around to the post box
to collect Cliff's mail. When I got back into the
car I noticed the polish on my small nail left hand
had peeled back in a flap. So I went back to the
plaza. The first time I went in I parked furthest
away than I have ever parked. It was just as bad
the second time. I drove up to the front lane. I
did not see one park so I went to turn left, there
was nothing to my right but just then, a woman came
out and hit her ditdit key and the car was right in
front of me! So I waited for her to go out, there
was a car that let her out and should have followed
behind her, but instead a car on my right that had
just come into the car park shot in front of that
second car and stole my spot. The licence read
BREAAZE. A bitch that thought she can do anything
in life. She saw me waiting there before her and cut
the line. Karma is a bitch and I wish that I could
be a fly on the wall when it bites her in the arse.

I got back to the store and they fixed the nail.

Then I went home to Cliff's. I had an afternoon nap.

Tonight was 'the last Friday of the month raffle' as
tomorrow is Good Friday. So Cliff and I went to the
club. It was just suppose to be us and Uncle Bill.
But then Kath came along with John. Of course Meg and
Mick didn't. Donald came along later.
I couldn't believe that Cliff's number came up for the
first pick and win. The numbers were 1,2,8,18, and 30.

I chose 2 but I was not allowed to either open the
envelop nor take the ticket out. In fact the man
turned away from me to take the ticket out. Then he
turned back and said I had a blank, but how do I know
that he did not substitute the winning ticket with a
blank especially as the next person turned out to be a
mate of his and HE CHOSE THE WINNING NUMBER 30!!!!

So I am almost sure I was cheated out of $750!!! which
Cliff said if we had won we could have given Meg for
her wedding on Saturday. I could not sleep one wink
all night thinking this over and over and wondering if
I had picked 30 would the winning ticket have been in it.

Lunch With Uncle Bill

March Wednesday 27th. I took Bill to Claudia's. I had
meant that we would pay for our own lunch but I ended up
paying for Bill's. Luckily it was only $12.50.

We had a lovely time. Caught up on all the news.

Frantic Saturday

After Meg came around to see me on Wednesday 20th to
check my wardrobe she decided that of the three out
fits that did fit me none were suitable for her wedding.

So on Saturday 23rd she made arrangements to meet me.

Firstly I had to go to K Mart to pay off my Credit Card.

Then around to the little place Cliff told me about
under the stair case near the lawyer's office. Were I
finally got the $50 voucher replaced for Kirsten's phone.

I got to Thera's at 10.25 a.m. in plenty of time, to meet
Meg at 11 a.m. so I checked out all the dresses in my
size and quite frankly I did not like any of them, in the
colours left after Meg ruled out, white, grey, silver,
ivory, yellow, green, peach, and apricot. I ruled out
purple as I have too many evening dresses in purple. We
both thought a light blue would be nice, but they did
not have anything in light blue.

Well Meg finally showed up at 11.25 a.m. I showed her
what was on hand and she was not impressed either. So she
dragged me around to 'Shapely Triangles.' There were only
four dresses there in my size. I tried on one and it was
awful, a second was okay, the third was better, but it was
coral and I did not like it on me as it seemed to make me
looked washed out. But Meg LOVED it.

I mentioned that Thea's had the same dress in a darker blue
and it was $2 cheaper than Triangles, the girl heard me and
said she could give it to me for the same price. But Meg
dragged me back to Thea's, the girl said as we were leaving
she would give us 10% off.

I tried on the blue dress and I liked it much better. But
Meg compared it against a silver dress similar to the colour
of Mick's suit and a charcoal dress similar to the colour of
the groomsmen suit and she felt it blended into their suits
too much.

So it was another walk around to Triangles.

After I got the dress Meg liked. ($270) We walked to the
Shoeroom. She tried to get a pair of silver shoes to match
the dress but no luck.

She wanted to walk around to the Plaza but I put my foot down
as my legs were already sore from all the walking we had done
so far!

So I went back to my car at Thea's and drove it to the plaza.

Met Meg at Williams were we found a matching pair of silver
shoes and a handbag. The shoes were HIGH heels not TOO high
but higher than any thing I have worn for ten years. ($92)

Then across to the jewellery store were she found a necklace
and earring set that matched the 'flower/leaf' pattern on the
dress. ($17)

Next it was around to sexy nails to pick out a shade that
went with the dress. She wrote it on a card and gave it to
me for Thursday for my appointment. Finally we were finished
and I was allowed to go 'home.' I slept all afternoon!

Dr. Rose

Well the test came back from my thyroid exam and everything
is OK but I am low in Vit D. So now I have to take a tablet
to supplement my Vit D. But we still have not found out why
I am sleepy in the afternoons and tired all the time.

So Dr. Rose sent me next door to get a blood gluouse test.
It is a fasting test and as I had not eaten all day I thought
I might as well do it now. It was 1 p.m. so the nurse took
the blood test. Then I had to have this gluouse drink. She
warned me that most people say it is very sweet.

St. Patrick's Day.

Well it was a bust this year. Because Meg is getting
married she said that she did not have the time for
her and Mick to come over and have a drink with us.

By 5 p.m. Cliff was too tired to go for a drink. It
was bad enough just trying to get him to go to the
supermarket.

Clean Up

Kath has said that I can't bring anything from my house that
belongs to her and Kirsten till she has cleaned out the garage.
This is so she can store stuff that won't fit into the house
into the garage.

I checked with the Council and the free tip day will be the
weekend of April 14th 15th.

So I went up to her place and we cleaned out the first third
of the garage and filled four and a half garbage bags with
rubbish which I will get rid of over the next two weeks.

I said that I would come up on Wednesday 3rd April and we
would do the rest of the garage, just leaving the last third
where all the old furniture is stored, most of which will
have to go to the tip!
