Yes it was sunny and warm here today from about 11:00 until 3:00 in the afternoon. Even though I had plenty to do downstairs and a lot of house work and yard work I ignored all and sat in the sun.
Mom was not doing as well as I had hoped today. She was really unstable and shaky and she wanted some toast in bed. I went up to make it and the sun was so bright and warm, I ran downstairs and started to pull her clothes together. I reminded her that we had cookies to bake and that perked her up. She does better if she has a plan for the day and something to do and look forward to. So we had a late breakfast on the deck in the warm sunlight. WW Toast with butter and home made huckleberry jam. We also had some of mom's banana bread.
I then ran up an down stairs waiting on customers as they came. I rolled out all the shamrock cookies with the back door open. Lil Sis came over a got mom and I went back out on the deck and sat with my eyes closed in the sun for about an hour and a half. I actually napped a little. I realized I could have been doing some yard work but it was so nice to just sit and soak.
About 3 another customer came and the sun was behind the clouds and it was getting chilly. I worked a little in the shop, had a bride in at 4 and then I laid down on the couch and slept through the news. Then Hub's and I went to Arby's for their salad bar. I would have preferred to stay home but Hub's and I have not been out to eat in 2 months. I am really trying to cut back on this and I think he is starting to notice. Anyway it was nice and only cost $15.65. Still think of all the salad fixings I could have gotten for that.
I came home and whipped together a Celtic belt and bow tie for one of the boys. Then I sewed a little more and went upstairs and frosted 74 green shamrock cookies. Did a 3 mile walk at home video and cleaned up the disaster kitchen. Since I have an early morning rehearsal at the theater tomorrow I think I had better go to bed.
Wish me Luck!

I am more than impressed! It seems you get more done in 2 hours than I do all week.
ReplyDeleteThankfully you took a little time to sun soak. That is so good for the soul.
I enjoyed every moment.
DeleteBest wishes..
ReplyDeleteSO proud you were able to rest in the sunshine..[Sometimes, we just HAVE to let the work go, and rest. Our bodies need it..
Hope you all have a blessed weekend.
I know... I love it when it is sunny. I'm gonna go to a park later today and take my Bible and read.
ReplyDeleteHow nice.
DeleteA good soak in the sun, a nap, and a salad out would work wonders for me. Maybe you are refueled for a bit. I didn't know Arby had a salad bar.
ReplyDeleteThey do here the only one in town.
DeleteWell I know where the clouds and snow were! I drove through a blizzard to a protest only for it to be cancelled due to the weather once I arrived :( Waste of gas. I long for the day I can sit outside and feel the sun on my face :) I'm glad you made the most of it!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you it was wonderful. Yours is coming soon.
