Monday, Monday...so good to me.

Okay, so maybe I'm dating myself by using words to a Mamas and the Papas song from the, oh, mid-60s. Who cares. I'm old and I know it. (Hence the name of my blog.)

I LOVE Mondays. It's one of my two days off of the week. Today is laundry day. Sunday is my "be a slug day." Other than church, I pretty much lounge around, read, watch some of what I have DVR'd. Just generally recharging after a week of typing my fingers to stubs. My paying job is as a third shift medical transcriptionist. Yes...third shift by choice.

On the agenda for today is reading, crocheting, wrapping Christmas presents and trying to get a family Christmas present finished. I cannot say it here in case someone in my family actually reads this blog, although so far I don't think anyone other than yours truly has read anything I've written. Big sigh.

The new church yesterday was awesome! It's quite large compared to where I used to worship. I went to Phoenix First Assembly in, of course, Phoenix. What a difference between a small, family oriented facility and one that pretty much has an unlimited budget. Just for being a first time visitor, I received a coupon for my choice of (a) A CD of a prior sermon; (b) a free cup of coffee at what I assume is a church-run Starbucks or (c) 30 days at a fitness facility also run by the church. Hmmm, haven't decided yet but could really use the free 30 days.

Besides reading and writing, my latest hobby is volunteering. Yes, you read correctly. I have made volunteering a new hobby. My daughter, Ronda, tells me I need to get out more because I work from home and I have noticed a couple times since the 6 years I've been doing transcription from home that I tend to become isolated to the point of being close to agoraphobia once or twice. Thank goodness it was brief and I've long since gotten over that.

While I could stay at the keyboard writing all day, now that I'm over the flu that had me sidelined for a few days, I've got things to do this a.m.
