Are you sure it wasn’t the first day of Spring today? It felt fantastic. If we have a complete weekend of these temperatures, we will be able to say goodbye to all the ice pack from the recent dump of snow.
My main focus today was to attend a retirement party at the courthouse for a gal I had worked with in the past. It was enjoyable to stop in my old office and visit though there is only one employee remaining that worked there at the time since I retired. New faces and new personalities. As I was visiting, one of the realtors stopped in with forms that needed processing. As it turned out he was one of my old nemeses. When he saw me, he stopped short, “You’re not coming back are you?” I saw humor in it, he did not. We could never agree on what values were for selling properties compared to the values used for taxation. I just said, “Tom, it’s great to see you too.” The staff in the office didn’t know how to react. I went on to make the comment that in times past he and I had agreed to disagree.
Later in the afternoon, I kept an appointment I had made with Curt, the chiropractor. Going back to a time this late fall, I had felt some less than good feelings across the back of my shoulders. At the time it was using the weed whip that had triggered it. In the recent past, the roof snow rake had spiked the same feelings. Curt is very familiar with my replacement parts, the shoulders and the knees, and works around them well. I will be going back on Monday for another treatment. I had thought the discomfort was in my neck, not so. I do need to realize that there are some things I need to take a pass on. Hmm. That might be a good resolution in the 2019 year.
