THE MONTH OF JULY is here! 2024 is half over. Sigh. Makes my head spin. Time passes and waits for no one. Hot weather is here with my 69th birthday coming the middle of the month. Hum. The days will inch along and before I know it, I will be having a birthday. I think for this occasion I will eat some cake with frosting on it. Special occasion for a cheat day.
WOKE TO A GREY MORNING AFTER HAVING STORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT. I heard nothing as I slept like a baby. Looking out the window this morning, I could tell it had rained as the streets were wet. Checked the internet radar where several threatening storms had come through. I heard nothing, which seems rare as I am a light sleeper. I must have been extremely tired.
Some flooding in the county. The campground I stayed at a couple of weeks ago has flooded. I needed a few days away from my everyday routine and took time to camp out in a cabin. Loved it and I'd do it again. This was the closest thing to a vacation that I have had in years. We don't take vacations very often which bothers me. I grew up in a family where we vacationed for two weeks each year. As a married woman, we did not follow the program. I think when the kids were growing up, we took two vacations the entire time. Failed to plan for the event so no vacations.
As an older woman, we have traveled to a few states away for activities and called it a vacay. Really it wasn't as we were on a rushed agenda. My Husband had asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I think I want to go on a vacation, but hot weather season isn't the best time for old people to get out. Take it while you can?
Believe I'll go walking here in a little bit. The laundry is in for the morning. Towels. Next load will be bluejeans. So glad I don't have to do laundry by hand. Wash Day is everyday. My ROBOT does the hard labor and I assist by loading, unloading, folding, hanging and putting away. What a great arrangement.
I fixed a large salad last night for supper. Had a terrible time getting the water to boil for the eggs. It took way too long. Anyways the salad turned out well. Leftovers for today.
Medical appointment this week and while we're at it some shopping will take place. The bathroom window will ride along with us as we want different glass put in it. Something that will not allow people to look into the bathroom from the outside. Privacy Plus. Think we'll go with a hammered glass.
JULY HOME PROJECT is the Bathroom. Crossing the finish line keeps getting pushed back. I think I have to be patient, but when push comes to shove I have to be realistic and do what I can do. Continue to de-clutter stuff. Aiming for a more minimalist approach.
HEALTH PROJECT. Take my vitamins. Walk. Pray. Eat more vegetables and fruit. Drink my spring water.
With going to the medical appointment this week, I will make it as fun as I can. Do a little shopping, have a iced green tea, take care of the bathroom window. Admire the lovely landscape as we travel along the highway.
Back to the laundry. She's calling my name and I don't seem to be listening.
