When I retired, Mondays stopped being an issue. I hope that continues to be the case. It’s no different than any other day of the week. No dread of the beginning of another workweek. No morning commute. No stress of a boss and his follies. Well, it wasn’t my bosses. It was usually the people over them that were the issue.

Sorry I digressed. We are past that trauma. So, onto appreciating another fine start to the day. Something that I always didn’t consider when stressed or concentrating on other priorities of the day. Now I’m more relaxed and thankful that I have another day where I set the priorities.

And the priorities today are keeping a smile on my face and finishing a few art projects. I don’t know why but I feel different this day. Like I might be regaining some sense of control again. Been lacking a little energy lately but I feel it returning. Maybe putting the headphones on and getting into some positive thoughts have me buzzing.

I took advantage of the power and did some weightlifting this morning. I’ve been reading where that is more important in your senior years to keep that muscle strength and tone. Nothing serious just some dumbbells and bands.

I’ve got to download some bird shooting I did yesterday. Sent my kids the morning greetings and wish them a good week.

My better half did a good job cleaning up some of the basement and I have to follow suit and pick up my area. We have company coming this weekend, so I have to pretend I’m not sloppy.

But the main objective today is to detail the go-cart. I’m going to celebrate it’ 10th year anniversary a day early tomorrow being it’s going to be sunny and 80 degrees. That is a top-down cruising day if I’ve ever seen one on the horizon. I’m going out to burn some $5 a gallon fossil fuel and have a great time on some back roads and cruising towns.

And I can’t have a dirty car for the club meeting a week from today.

But first a trip to the hardware store.
