Day 18

One NEW Day At A Time

Day 18

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

Yesterday was a very lazy day.  It poured rain most of the day; and even when not raining, it was very gray … and chilly!!  I did find some minor spurts of ambition and tackled some areas of my room.  There are a lot more to go!!

DN started out being a little annoyed at me, but she got over it.  She wanted me to do an exercise on the wii.  I have no objection to the exercise … but I do object to being ordered around!  When or if I do anything like that, it will be when I decide I’m ready. 

Niether of us did much but watch TV and nap.  I thought about getting out my book, but never did.  I have to be in the mood to read!  Plus, I only have one book unread; and another that hasn’t been downloaded yet.  I know myself .. if I start reading, I won’t stop until I’ve gone through several books.  I like to have several books available against a time when I’m either in a mood to read, or have a lot of waiting time.  And besides all that, it was just too lazy a day to bother! LOL!

I did not sleep well again; or rather, I did sleep but had very odd dreams.  I’m reasonably sure I know the cause … for one thing, I’m worried about getting things finalized at the house.  TGF was planning to go last night, but with so much rain she might not have been able.  I don’t know, no one told me one way or the other and that worries me.  Plus, she was supposed to leave a key so the ReStore guys can pick up today.  I don’t know how to tell them where the stuff is to be picked up ..and I don’t even know if they can get in the house!  The lady is going Thursday to clean, and I seriously hope I won’t be embarrassed (and hope she won’t have to charge more than I counted on too!). 

On top of stress about that, the last 2 nights I’ve left the TV on but without sound.  It seems my choices are leave it on,  do without it, or wait until it suits DN to come get it on, and settle for whatever channel she puts it on.  Well, actually, I can scroll up and down; but the numbers don’t work, and it’s very hard to figure out where the channels are.  I need a chart  to tell me what number is what channel  … might be a project for DIL to help me with.

It is still gray and cool, and rained off and on during the night.  I think by this afternoon it’s supposed to clear up and get warmer.  DN has a job interview at a mall, so I’m going along … I get to roam the mall unsupervised!  It shouldn’t feel like I’m “getting away” with something, but it does.

It’s after 8:00 already.  It’s hard to tell when it’s so overcast out.  DN isn’t up yet.  I try to avoid waking her (if there’s no reason to .. not because she’ll be mad, only because it’s rude if there’s no reason).  I guess I will go finish washing up a few dishes left from last night.
