One NEW Day At A TimDay 19 & 2

Day 46

Thursday, October 9,  2014

Once again, I woke too early.  But at least it was after 5:00.  I would have liked to go back to sleep a little longer, but got too restless.  Now, after 7:00, I’m drowsy.   Chanes are needed!

Yesterday was a very quiet day.   The apartment had been cleaned, laundry done.  I did not want to walk to the shopping center since I’ve already done that once this week, and will again on Friday.  So I mostly just rocked and watched TV.  I always turn on the morning news .. I feel a “need” to know what’s going on.  I don’t know why … it’s all politics and terrifying news about ware, disease, and accidents.

I did talk to DB on the phone.  It turns out a hoped for camping trip will not happen (or rather, I will not be going).  But as I had already been offered an alternate plan that weekend … plus the offer of a trip in the spring I really really would love … it’s disappointing but not “crushing”. J   And right now I’m excited enough about Saturday to override other weekends.

DN got home (from helping her mom do some yardwork for BF) early afternoon.  She is still in the “be-nice-to-me” mode that always follows an eruption.  I never know how long it will last … so find it best to just stay in my room most of the time. I have my TV; my computer (though I don’t know how much longer this will be an option .. it’s getting harder and harder to see the screen); and lots of reading options now.  I am meeting other ladies at the church, and hope at some point to make friends enough to have options other than just meetings.  But even if I don’t, at least I have Wednesday night, Thursday lunch, and Sunday morning.

We left here about 5:00.  Again, the bus drive didn’t know where the right street was .. but this time it turned out to be a good thing.  She let us off at the next stop.  It seemed from the bus ride to be a long way .. but the street curved; and it turned out it was only one more block (really only a half block extra).  And that being a bigger street, it’s much more likely to get off correctly there.  That will only be an issue if I have to go by myself … and I have rides for Thursday and Sunday.   We had a nice dinner as always.  We sat with the same young couple, so are making friends with them and others.  I enjoyed the “study” (reviewing a book, “Unbroken” .. which I hope to get soon).  A nice older lady and her sister gave us a ride home.

And now I’m back to this morning, and feeling drowsy.  I have 3 hours until my ride to the senior’s meeting.  That long to get a nap, get a little breakfast (have to have something, but lunch will be fairly early), and showered and dressed.

I think I’ll try for a bit of a nap first.
