WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE LIFE WONDERFUL, may never happen. It's up to us to make it sweet. What can I do to make it better and more pleasant?
My attitude can be adjusted. Deliberately singing praises can take place. Focusing on good things will help. Not being held captive by imperfect situations is freeing isn't it?
My day went really well. Up early. Rubbed coconut oil into my hair as a hair conditioner before shampooing it an hour or so later. It works well and it's natural. Smells pleasant also.
Worked on grouping boxes and putting items in a pile to be loaded to take over to the COTTAGE later, was my morning chore. Made a nice size pile. Tomorrow I hope to do the same. I need to vacuum the area rugs. It's been awhile.
Groomed and ate a late Breakfast. More like a brunch as I fasted until 11. Knowing I had a eye appointment at noon, I needed to get around. Skies were cloudy. Looked like rain and it did while I was having my eyes examined.
I need to have cataract surgery. Will see specialist in December. I have a constant haze over my eyesight. It's annoying more than anything. I didn't bother to look at the eye glasses on display today. I kind of have in mind the style I want to get. I will waltz into the office later in the year and take a look at what they have to sell. No pressure. I don't know how I feel when the doctor says the things happening with my eyesight is a birthday gift to my aging body. Happy birthday OLD WOMAN. It's not my birthday, sir. grins. That comes next July.
Went HOME and shared with Hubby my news about eye appointment and proceeded to take a nap. My energy level is low. We napped then afterwards loaded the things into the car that I had in a pile. My Husband is a go-getter. I cannot keep up with him.
Hubby wanted to go to a STEAK HOUSE to celebrate some very good news he received in the mail today. I was happy to go along with him. Off to Manhattan we went to eat supper. It's been a very long time since I had a real steak and a loaded baked potato.
LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE was his pick. Raspberry Lemonade for my beverage with steak, potato and a cold crispy dinner salad. Bread with butter of course. I didn't hold back. I ate like a champion.
Menards and Home Depot were on the list of places to go after supper. Driving from one store to the other which is across town from one another seemed like we were sight seeing on a late SUMMER's evening. The blue skies were brilliant blue with wispy clouds of white with orange streaks. Gorgeous sight to see.
Looked the stores over. Everything from plants to storage containers. Curtains to Halloween junk. Menards had a special area where floor space was vacant with empty shelves completely cleared off. I know they're getting ready to display their Christmas merchandise. Seems early for this, but that's the way they do things around here.
Being too tired to drive over to the COTTAGE we decided to go tomorrow so I can do some laundry as well. I hope I get that far. The temps are cooling where I can open some windows to let fresh air into the house. Letting the radio play as I do laundry will make doing this task more enjoyable. The COTTAGE is so crowded with our stuff it is difficult to walk through the house. I know it's uncomfortable right now, but keep thinking we will get settled after we get the big house on the market.
Hubby is doing last minute clean-up on the house projects and I continue to gather boxes to take to storage. Our team effort is taking some time. My patience is wearing down so I have to remind myself that it will come together if I stay steady with what I am doing. This slow pace of taking a car load of boxes each day to the COTTAGE is the pace I have to go with health issues and my age. It's been a very long, drawn out move. Staying the course. Sometimes the course takes extra long to journey on. This is one of those courses.
The late SUMMER evening was beyond nice and I wish we could have stayed driving far longer than we did. Off to bed I go. I believe this was a really nice day for us. Sweet.
