A Day Of Rest

Truly, today was a day of rest as I stayed in my worn out pink housecoat and sat in my recliner staying away from the world.  After I woke up this morning I took my morning meds and brushed my hair.  I didn't change into day clothing nor did I intend to.

Morning coffee in the living room.  No breakfast.  

The day was beautiful with light blue skies and no wind.  Cooler temperatures in the 70s.  No rain.  No storms.  The french doors have been open all day allowing the cooler air to fill the room.  The fresh air is a treat.

Just a beautiful day in my chair.  I was worn down from yesterday's activities working on gathering items to turn loose of.  Worked and sat in the heat until mid afternoon and felt weak.  Today I rested completely.  Having hopes of being more energetic for the week.  Thinking about what to work at accomplishing in the week to come.  

I'll shampoo my hair and curl it in the morning and as it air dries I'll work on paperwork, vacuuming the area rugs and tending to dishes.  After my hair dries and I'm dressed for the day, I'll go to the grocery store and purchase a few items to make a home-made meatloaf for supper.  My afternoon will be busy with laundry and a quiet time to rest my feet and calm my head.

On my day of rest...had a serious discussion with my Husband about RETIREMENT.  Tis approaching in 2020.  Finances is a hot topic.  We have much to discuss.  We still have some bills that I wish we didn't.  We attended a Medicare meeting at the Library last week and I left with a knot in my gut.  Both my Husband and I were quiet as we left.

Conversation about what we heard wasn't.  This upsets me to have very little conversation and I have grown weary being the one to bring up serious talk about the important things in LIFE.  I do not believe we would ever speak about such matters if it were not my suggestion.  

Makes me the   h e a v y  here 

                and I do not believe this is the way of having a                               balanced  relationship.              

                                                     

Cats out of the bag.  Meow.

We're talking.

We're inching along into what looks like a grown up phase of LIFE as my Husband turns 65 during the CHRISTMAS month.  We have much to discuss and figure out before that date.  Living on far less money has been done before.  I don't think I'm very excited about this.  Shall see how it goes.  God help us.  With HIS help we will make it!

A day of rest was needed and I took advantage of it.

Yawn,
