Overall my week went very well as I caught up on laundry, picked up a prescription, and spent time with a friends. As is spring, our weather was a bit up and down, but thank goodness for allergy medicine as the pollen was everywhere.
A funny story I forgot to tell you last week...I got pulled over for speeding coming south bound from the Delaware Bridge heading into the toll booth. I don't know why I did not slow down a bit more, but I was keeping up with traffic. I saw the trooper on the side of the road and suddenly he pulled in directly behind me as I exited the toll booth. I pulled over right away. He was a nice young man who advised me I was being filmed. He advised me the speed limit on the bridge was 50 and slows down to 20 as you enter the toll booth area. I just looked at him nicely and said I did not realize it slowed down to 20. He indicated he knows no one slows down that much and he's instructed to stop at 60 and over. I again looked at him and he said, the person if front of you was going 58 and I clocked you at 61. I said OH! I said I guess I'm getting my first traffic ticket. He said not necessarily. He took my license and insurance card and went back to his vehicle with a warning to stay in my car. As I watched traffic zoom by I thought no way I'm getting out on this road. He returned about 10 minutes later with a Warning and advised me the speed limit for this particular road until it merges with 95 south. I was very grateful and humble. Believe me when I say, I did not go over 54 miles per hour until I was on 95. I saw another trooper or two on the way to 95 and I kept thinking they are probably watching for me....I know a little paranoid, but kept myself in check. Boy was I lucky!
I had a wonderful lunch with friends at a local place - new to me. We had not seen one friend in many years as we were under the impression she moved out of the country and stopped keeping in touch. She thought we moved out of state. So miscommunication all around. We had great catch-up time and now will make attempts to keep-in touch more often.
I had a fantabulous massage with a different therapist as mine was out with the flu. Awesome experience as my bones and muscles were really compressed after traveling for the past couple of weeks. I think the massages have really helped with my joint pain and stiffness. My chiropractor has also been extremely helpful along the way.
I finished reading: "A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW"; "THESE HIGH, GREEN HILLS"; and "OUT TO CANAAN" - Books 2, 3, and 4 of the Mitford series by Jan Karon. These books are quirky and fun.
