The future is friendly...

Yee Haw! At least that's what the Telus truck in front of me said this morning as I was driving to my dentist appointment - they could have fooled me! On another dirty van somebody had scribbled the words 'I love you'. As you know these are all messages from my angels. Nice start to the day, especially since I made up my mind to stop hating Wednesdays and just - get on with it! Yes today I had made up my mind to embrace Wednesday with positive ideation and dare I say - joy! It wasn't me who said 'Wednesday's child is full of woe'.

It was a gloriously sunny spring day outside, the birds were happily twittering on the trees and all around the garden, new life was appearing. Clusters of snow drops have taken up residence at the base of our old oak tree. I never noticed them there before. The snow drops are just so pure and beautiful and delicate. They have an innocent quality about them and remind me of the little kids in our confirmation class.

The thing about Wednesdays is that I get a lot of work done and at the end of the day I feel I have achieved something for my efforts. I have deduced it to the fact that Wednesday is Virgo's day - ruled by the planet Mercury, which is a busy busy planet. On the other hand Thursday, my favourite day of the week and also my lucky day, is ruled by Jupiter the largest planet in the solar system and that happens to be the day I feel the greatest urge to eat, shop and be merry.

My mouth is still frozen up from the dentist - Dentist Again? I can hear you say and you would be right. The last two visits were only for fun, poking around my mouth and thinking and wondering, but doing nothing. Tooth #17 still acts up from time to time and we still haven't got to the root of the problem - if you'll excuse the pun! Well today my nice friendly dentist got some action going and replaced two old fillings - Hell! one was the wisdom tooth - two doors down from #17. It was impossible to get at it and my jaw was killing me trying to 'open wide as much as you can'. To add to my horror I knew I wasn't properly frozen as he had only left it set for a second. So they had to double on the freeze and give me another needle. I felt guilty telling them I wasn't properly frozen as time is money to these folk. I also reminded them I had 3 babies without epidurals and that I'm not normally a wimp when it comes to pain.

As I was leaving the dentist studio, I told them my mouth felt really fuzzy and when I opened wide, we discovered why - the assistant had accidently left the cotton wool in my mouth. So I wasn't lying about feeling fuzzy!!

I had made an appointment for the computer man to come by this evening to put my book on disk form - I should know how to do that. Then I realised that I have the confirmation class so had to cancel. Don my computer guy is an interesting fellow. An eligible bachelor in his early 50's I would think. He lives alone with his widowed mother and is a lonely type of fellow. He really loves family life - I know that because he prefers to come in to our home to fix the computer rather than the office. He likes the girls running around the place and music and the dogs and the smell of food. I can tell. Once we weren't there when he came to fix Kevin's computer and apparently he seemed very disappointed "where's all the family" he asked. You wouldn't think he noticed because when he comes around he sits in front of the computer
for hours with a blank and vacuous expression on his face. The girls think "He is Weird!"
I guess he is, but he never overcharges us, in fact he is incredibly cheap which is why I always give him a big Xmas basket - because he deserves it.

He also deserves a woman - and the thing is - I have 'the perfect woman' in mind for him. She is tailor made for the man - looks after her widowed elderly father - is in the same age bracket - is mad for a man - she loves to cook and would adore to have a family and wants to go to the Lisdoonvarna Matchmaking Festival and to check out her Irish roots. The problem is how do I introduce them? - every time I see either one, all I can think of is that they each deserve some happiness in life - I've done the name thing and her christian name and his surname go very well together. Anyways - I did try! I gave her his name as being great at fixing computers!! If there is any news I'll keep you informed...

On that hopeful note, I'll say cheery billy bye.

Look after yourselves and remember 'The Future is Friendly'.
