Yesterday was beautiful. We reached a high of 77 (F). That was fine. My lawn was mowed, leaves were raked, and pruning was completed on the rose bushes out front. I've even weeded a bit. Today, however, the overcast skies with their showers are back. Tomorrow the forecast is simple: rain. That means next week I'll be mowing my lawn again.
The passport photo went well. Maybe I'll scan one of the pictures and post it here. Me without glasses. I do look somber. I suppose that's because most people don't smile, or at least not as much as we think we do. That's something I was thinking about at work the other day, that I seem to be smiling less frequently. But then I don't know. I don't really spend a lot of time thinking about smiling. So many things are running through my head, most of which are not happy, smiley thoughts, and I wonder if I've always been like this? Probably. Most people don't smile, unless they have a reason.
I need to get travel insurance for my trip to Greece, so I was shopping for options yesterday. Simple coverage is not that expensive, it's when you add in the cost of getting a cancelation reimbursement that sends it through the roof. It would be nice to be reimbursed should something happen and the trip would get canceled. However, once I started looking at the exceptions that weren't covered, that I began to question if it truly was worth the cost. My cousin and her husband were supposed to go to Israel and of course the war happened. Now, the insurance company is making they jump through all sorts of hoops to get their refund, you see the insurance company still wants them to go.
