I didn't sleep well at all last night - the frogs were singing sooooo loudly, I was hot, then cold, my hip hurt, I tossed and turned. Oh my, but I'm sleeeeeepy this morning.
Plans:
*May sit in the sun here and close my eyes for a few minutes - it's a beautiful morning, but it may get quite warm today.
*General morning cleaning and chores
*Spend the afternoon at the pipe organ
*Hamburgers for supper
*Put beans to soak for tomorrows supper
*Scrapbook this evening - I finished the section on my great-grandmother yesterday. My cousin sent me some more pictures of my grandmother, so I get to add to her section - but at the same time must re-do a page or two due to incorrect information.
Hubby has been busy, busy - normally I'd say that's a good thing, but it seems most of what is keeping him so busy is just annoying busy work and customers that make his life miserable by expecting the impossible. I try to encourage him though, at least it's work.
Since he's been so busy and gone most of the time I have spent many quiet hours by myself here in the Little Turquoise House. I don't mind too much, I have my chores, scrapbooks, computer and favorite DVD's...I keep busy enough, but the past few rainy days I have found my mind wandering to places that sadden me deeply. I'm so thankful for the sunshine this morning and for the morning breeze blowing in a freshness to my heart.
I enjoy being alone but just for so much....after too long, I also get blue or start worrying, and that isnt good at all. I will usually go outside and if raining, to the porch, and either pray or read or both. Just being out of the house for any length of time helps me. Hope your day gets better as it goes on. Playing the organ would help me.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those family 'scrapbooks' too. I've taken it to our family reunion and it's a big hit. I let it get passed around and if I go looking for it all I need to do is find the biggest crowd and there's my book.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good day. Don't let the solitude get to playing on your mind. Maybe if you put on some music, CD's or radio, and sing along. Keep your mind focused on things you can see and not old memories. I know exactly what you're doing. I've done it too. I hope you have many more sunny days. ♥
I'm never alone for long anymore, and forget what that freedom is like. I would probably go bonkers now, if left alone for too long, I guess.
ReplyDeleteHope the sun stayed out and your spirit has been renewed! Hope hubby's busy work will at least be paying work! Hope your hip feels better and you are able to sleep tonight! Hope you got some organ time today, because I know you can get lost in your music!! Love & hugs.
