I was encouraged to see that I am not alone, as I scanned some of my "favs" it was easy to see that July is vacation month !! I am a retired person, working a part time job. My job only makes demands of me during the school year...so I asked myself ( as my working friends ask me ) what do I do with my time?
With today as the pivotal point, I am looking back a week and forward a week and here is where I've been and where I'm headed:
- Enjoyed a big girl slumber party with the cousins
- Spent a few hours each day last week with the author of our summer Bible Study plus enjoyed a talk by Betsey on Thursday night
- Helped my friend Kerri "fluff" her new house
- Cooked a real supper four nights
- Bought groceries
- Taught my Weight Watcher group
- Baked teacakes for the Thursday night get together
- Walked and ran--one hour each day, alone and with my walking buddy Victoria
- Washed multiple loads of clothes ( which I also hung out and folded)
- Hurt my knee ( don't know how; but three days of RICE cured me !!)
- Cleaned my house ( included bathrooms, sheet changes, and floor moppings)
- Worked toward establishing my early, first thing in the morning ,Bible reading and quiet time
- Helped my former student and friend Bert, as he is working toward a dietary certification from Auburn
- Visited with both my sisters in law by phone and Erin "in person" and on the phone
- Ran to the high school to get information for a student to take to a prospective employer
- Watered my outside plants
- Swam with the senior citizens ( that would be Mama and Daddy)
- Helped Ryan get ready for school, dish him out a snack after school, answer his million questions about family members, Lisa ( his caregiver friend), Buddy ( the dog), church, and Billy Gaither ( his favorite preacher)--then get him ready for bed
- Had a root canal
- Enjoyed backed to back episodes of my new ( I think) favorite show The Office...which is where I am headed now
WHEW---no wonder I am behind on the blogging !! But school is about to start and with it comes routine, so I should be posting regularly. That is until life gets in my way again !
