So much for making a list, but I tried I will be better today. Sisie is in the other room banging away on the rolled seam of a pair of levies. We pound the welt seam with a hammer to soften it, and it keeps us from breaking needles.
I have decided to try something new. I am a late sleeper and a night owl. This became much worse after Joel passed. I am sure much of it because of grief and depression. But I would like to try and be up by 8 and going by nine. I know for some of you this is outrageously late, but for me it is what is doable. I would even like to start my day by 7 but right now that is not possible.
So, I told Sissie to try and arrive by 8(which is not clocked at all) and roust me. She has been letting me sleep. Plus, she enjoys telling me what to do so this works for both of us. Now will I ever be an early riser like her at a 5:00 in the morning? NOOOOO!!!!! But I can do better.
She is in bed by 7 or 8 I am in bed by 2 to3. So, I am going to try and fix me. This may not work. I have noticed that when I do get up by 8 I am sleepy by midnight, this is good. May the situation continue.
My fence is done and paid for! Well not really as I have to make payments on it for a few months and my neighbor will pay me back 1/2 of the cost. It looks so nice. The workman did such a nice job. Even installed a light on the corner that keeps getting hit at night.
I have a bride picking up at 2:30 today. Our County fire Marshall dropped off a fancy uniform to have a patch sewed on it, and he has to wear said uniform and speak at some convention in Florida. Well as I was putting away the coat into a bag the pants dropped out of the coat onto the floor and I just found them. So, our Fire Marshall will arrive to speak with no pants. Just his fancy filigree jacket and his boxers.
Now I have no phone # and his phone box is not set up so I call the main county employee service and tell them my story. Someone hollers, "does anyone here have Mel's number? " Then they explain the situation as I explained it.... Now the whole office is laughing about Mel and his boxers. They give his correct name and his phone # (something that would never happen in a larger area.) I then call him and explain and let him know that several people in the head county office would like to see him in his boxers and uniform coat. My life is exciting. So is Mels!
I did not get all the sewing done yesterday but I did get to the gym, and got a few groceries including dog food, and also practiced the piano. So, I felt like I did well yesterday. Now to do as well today.
I plan on getting my nails done this evening and going to the gym and practicing like a good girl. I need to give the dog a quick bath. (There is no such thing as a quick bath for Roscoe.) Such fun.
Sissie and I leave tomorrow for our reunion meeting. Excitement all around. Our Aunt is 86 and I am so looking forward to seeing her. I also want to buy a pair of lighter tennis shoes while I am there. I have a pair of HOKAS and they are great for taking long walks but pretty clunky for the gym.
My Joy for the day is my new fence. Although now that it is up and it has been down for several weeks, I can't see Rebeccas place as well. She can't see me either. Oh well that is what shouting and phones are for, right?
Well, I am off to be productive.
God is good
Kim
