getting going

getting back in the swing of things at work is not easy. i have so much to do at home.

OK, this is weird. dau’s next door neighbor is sil to my best friend’s dau. now i have to wonder how much i have confided in my friend. i hope i didn’t pass on anything too delicate and it gets back to dau. yikes! the weird thing is my best friend lives in a town about 275 miles away. dau goes to a school 400 miles away. this gal came from a town about 325 miles away from us and i would have no clue she would even know my friend, let alone be related to her dau by marriage! so, yeah, she is my other sounding board. fod is one too. things i can’t confide in her get typed in here. but i tell her a lot. i just hope it doesn’t get back to dau.

i remember last fall how i got really down after my dau went to college. i didn’t even realize it at the time. i wonder if that will happen again. i just want to go on walks and talk with her. one good thing is that hub has gone on a walk or two with me, and he is being very considerate lately. i am trying my best not to nag him about stuff too. there are so many half done projects that it really bothers me, but i try to ignore it and go do something else.

i got a new washer and dryer. they are awesome. i actually enjoy doing laundry now. if only i could get caught up! we went on vaca, had almost all the laundry done before we left, but got nothing done in between vaca and taking dau to college. i let her do all hers first. so i come home to a lot of bedding as we had overnight guests as they traveled through going to the same church camp we went to, as well as a lot of regular laundry. towels. you name it. ugh. oh well. church clothes too! just a lot of laundry.

so to go to work when i would rather do laundry, hmmmm. plus the flower beds have been overrun with weeds. i would love to stay home and pull weeds as it is a nice cool morning. the garage never did get treatment on the 3 sides, only the front that dau and i did the first week or two she was home. i was hoping to have her do all of it, but i never got her more wood treatment stuff. i tried the penofin. it worked pretty well.

well, i suppose i better go to work. sigh. i look forward to the weekend. maybe the weather will be good to get stuff done then too. plus, i have a lady coming over to clean my house on thursday so i won’t have to clean house at all this week! yeah! i am not used to that. it is filthy too. i am sort of embarrassed, but why clean today when she will be here in 2 days? it will be all i can do to get the laundry up off the floor and stuff put away, so i will focus on that.

i look forward to a few minutes on fod too. hope everyone is doing ok.

God bless!

faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
