Mexican Train Game

I had a great time last night. Roberta and Mike picked me up after 5 and we headed to Carol and Gary’s house. We were the last to arrive. It was quite unusual to be the last ones instead of the first. I first met all of the attendees’ years ago at Roberta and Mike’s Daughters showers. They all knew each other attending the same Synagogue. They became good friends over the years and they get together a couple of times a month and play the Mexican Train Game.




What is the Mexican Train Game you ask? Well Wikipedia best explains it. Mexican Train Game is a dominos game. You can have up to six or seven players I think and there are thirteen rounds. The Wikipedia article best explains the different aspects. There have been times where we have played until 1 in the morning. We usually have dinner either at a restaurant or order in. We talk about things that are going in our lives, current events and of course joke. I am still a newbie at it but have done pretty well in the short time I have been attending. We haven’t scheduled the next one but it probably will be sometime in October.



I was feeling very proud of myself yesterday I managed to get all the laundry and my room cleaned before the day was finished. I actually have my desk and probably the closet to work on next but I am going to do that later on after bingo. Well at least try. I have a mount of stuff on this desk.



I had only one little mishap. As I was vacuuming I pulled it back on to my Big toe and literally broke the nail! It got a little bloody but hurt like hell. It is still cracked and every time I think about it I cringe. I have it covered with a band aid but it brushes against anything and it feels like it gets pulled.



Well it is after 1 in the morning and I need to get some sleep. I shouldn’t have had the coffee but it was a chilly night and Carol keeps the back door opened for their dogs to come in and out at will.



Good night…

Good News!

I got email alert this afternoon that my passport has been processed and will be sent via USPS and should arrive Wednesday sometime. I am really excited. When I got home I told Mom about it. She said okay.




Mom apparently injured herself while giving herself a pedicure last night. She somehow sprained her thumb and now it’s all swollen. She is finding it awkward to hold things and to use it. She let me get some things for her but that won’t be for long. I can’t help but think she is pissed at me for something; well I should probably leave her alone for a while.



We are supposed to get some bad weather tonight. The Northwest part of the state where Mardi and her family live have flood watches and warning for there as well as the Northeast part of the state. I was certain we weren’t getting anything but I am wrong the clouds have already changed and it is already 7:20.



I have NCIS on in the other room as background. It is the last few episodes of season six and the next three are from season seven. I am not sure I want to stay up to watch those. Besides I am going to try and clear out some of my inboxes and update files if I can. To be honest I don’t think I will be getting a lot done. I am tired and probably will go to bed early.



Well I will see you guys later…have a good one and be safe. I know I will see you all in the morning (yes I have been avoiding the whole “end of world tomorrow”.)
