I Can’t be as Old as I Feel Today

Today I’m realizing how much I enjoy ordinary routine, as opposed to the way life happens. This whole week has been out of sync. Our housekeeper usually comes on Monday, but I asked her to postpone because we had stuff scattered all over out of the laundry area and off the balcony for different reasons. So, she rescheduled for today.

This morning, painters arrived and sealed us in with plastic film. We had to have them slit it so Floyd could get out the door. Fortunately, I don’t suffer from claustrophobia, but knowing our only door is inaccessible does sort of bother me. Our housekeeper was happy to postpone until tomorrow because she is sensitive to paint.

So I have this wonderful opportunity to catch up on laundry, filing, email and the editing job that is only half done. I need to get caught up because Friday and Saturday night will be taken up with Floyd’s daughter’s wedding activities, full of fun time with his large family, and we have a meeting of a group we belong to at Noon on Saturday. Time I have (at the moment). Energy and motivation seem to be lacking.

Maybe some fish for lunch will stimulate my brain. I’ll give it a shot.
