I know I am getting a little drive and energy and ambition back, because I wake up with an agenda rather than a tolerant attitude! I did sleep pretty well last night, and actually in my own bed. Waking up at 5:45 is NOT typical for me, but I only woke up twice in the night so I’ll take it and work back to my normal patterns a little at a time.
Before I even got a shower, I stripped my bed sheets and remade the bed (Ahhh. Fresh pillow cases tonight!). Then I cleaned out the linen closet, my underwear dresser in my bedroom, sewed the hem on an extra sheet, checked my email, downloaded a book on my Kindle app, made a shopping list for Chase’s food, and wrote a note to pick up Kelly’s fundraiser items. Then I showered and ate breakfast; then I worked a little bit on the Publication Party table centerpieces,
Next – made my little errand trip. Got Kelly’s order, Chase’s requested food, and checked out a new panel for the kitchen door (my idea won’t work; back to square one…). After lunch (the last of the potato soup) I changed into very yucky clothes.
I spray painted the bistro set that I moved from the deck to the front porch. I think it looks really nice now, and should stay fresh for several years.
It took me about 4 hours, but I weed whacked, cut the grass, watered the ‘mom’ lilac (it’s not entirely happy where it is since the shade tree is gone.), swept the walk, then got another shower. I did check out my flowers, and the suspect bloom IS a black-eyed Susan and that makes me happy. Also have a lot of cone flowers, and they are from Mom’s farm, as well.
I’m sitting here now with the humidifier throwing cool air into the space around me. It helped last night so if it’s not broke don’t fix it! It’s getting last so I will eat something light, probably pretzels and cheese or something. So that’s it for today!
July 9 – Tell about going to a circus or Chautaugua. “Never went.” Well, that was easy!
Calendar inspiration is to use your imagination to go to your peacefully perfect place and relax, even for a few minutes. I guess mine would be to fall into a good book!
