Happy Super Mario Day – Mar 10 – get it?

Teresa went early to mass.

I received some text messages from Laura.  She went to a local gym but it’s expensive - $15 for the day or $127 for the month.  I told her to look for a YMCA or YWCA.

We got a little rain about 11am but it didn’t last long.

After, she met another au pair (from Ecuador) for lunch at Panera Bread.

I’m tired of not feeling well even though it’s just a cold and sore back.

MT came over for a visit.

I finished reading John Grisham’s The Firm.  Now I want to see the movie again.

We got a little more rain early in the evening.

Laura went to a free English class.

Teresa walked MT home and came back with some more cough medicine for me.

She wants me to go back to the doctor.  I tried to explain to her that I have a cold, a cold is a virus and there is no cure for a virus.  You just have to let it run its course.

Today only 1,469 steps.

Joke of the day

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:

Dear God,

I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

Sincerely,

Edna

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.

Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:

Dear God,

How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful Gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it might have been those jerks at the post office!

Sincerely,

Edna
