The alarm woke me two different times. I heard it, and thought I was awake, at 8:45. I don't remember the intervening moments, but when I actually got up and turned of the alarm it was 9:15. It is so odd when that happens, if I am used to it by this time. It's not a tough morning, I feel good and all. It is a groggy morning. Not much has been done. My routine, at least. And breakfast. And the rugs will go down right after this. Then it is time to prepare for Mass. This will be my first Mass in over two years. Hopefully it is not a huge group, though too one always hopes there are others. Balance. I am not used to crowds.
After Church I will go on to do some shopping. I'll have to look over the list I made yesterday. After shopping, just a bit more around the home, including dishes which are soaking and perhaps a load or two of laundry. Ugh but it is difficult to get going this morning. If I can keep going, the weekend is R&R time. Next week is busy again, I have tons of things to do. I am amazed at what I am getting done but there is much left to do. The boxes upstairs, cleaning nooks and crannies, business and social things, a few remaining thank you cards to be presented, and a few other things. Oh, and I really should get those water containers cleaned and filled. And when I get a grip on where my finances are, after I look over the bills and make sure everything has been paid, I can begin considering food for storage.
Yes, yes, I am on it. It is amazing what you can do. It is also surprising how long things really do take, as has been discussed before. But if I don't get stuck on one thing, if when I hit a roadblock and until I can find a way around it I can find other chores, tasks, business, or social things, I get on to so much more. I have been doing that.
While a change in medicine helped, the song, along with what Wonder Woman wrote and did, Jean hints at, and Heidi did and wrote about regarding her life, I am moving forward. I think the song just brought it all together and somehow made it all make sense. Oh, I should toss a big thanks to my mother in there. I watched her beat my home into shape with hard work and diligence. Oh yes, what I see in women who do is... amazing. I will never have that down. But... I can have my own little piece of it. Thank you, ladies!
Well, time to get up, get out. Oh, and the kink in my back is gone. I'll have to do some more work to get it back. *grins* Good day.
It's funny how time slips by in sleep, sometimes i have the most intense dreams and yet it's only been like 10 min. Sometimes you can sleep and sleep for hours and they wake up feeling tired.
ReplyDeleteI dread the dreams where you're running from something cos you know when you wake up you'll be real tired even though you didn't do a damn thing.
Yeah. I love those 'ten minute but feels like hour or day or even year long' dreams. Really makes you wonder just how expansive our minds and imaginations are.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried controlling your dreams? Seriously. I know those running dreams, and waking up tired. But I learned how to stop running and confront what was chasing me. Nothing ever appeared, when I did that. I used to have perpetual falling dreams too, where I kept falling and was fearful of hitting the whole time. I learned to fly in my dreams. I don't know how to tell you how to gain control, I must have just found some sort of back door in there. Try it.
