Groceries bought and put away,
mostly on my own (once we got outside of Wmart) b/c dh is just really not feeling well. I am calling doctor tomorrow and hoping he will prescribe a change in bp medicine for dh to try until he sees doctor at the end of the month or first of August. The week ahead will be busy, but as I said before, I am telling myself: ROUTINES, REGARDLESS.
LadyM is exactly right. I may have been exhausted a lot of the time while I was teaching, but I knew I functioned better on a set schedule. That is the absolute hardest thing about retirement. And sometimes, PEOPLE just have to come before ROUTINES. Sometimes there is no choice. But I think I'd see a big difference in my life if I could just hang on to routines when people were NOT needing attention. I can't use all my PEOPLE for excuses ALL the time!
PERSEVERANCE! Thank you,
Sunny, for that encouragement!
Monday -- t-ball @ 7:00 -- also several DPC!
Tuesday -- t-ball @ 7:00, but most likely the dgrands will be here from noon till 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. (ddil work/school; ds out of town)
Wednesday -- fireworks that night with ds & family -- we'll go to a large public display in Next Town.
I doubt we'll do anything else. Even if dcousins invite us to something, dh probably needs to stay home. He does not need to be out in the heat any more than necessary, (IMHO), and it's going to be a pretty tiring week with the dgrands here so much. And next week will be about the same. Thursday -- dgrands will be here noon-9/10 again (ddil work/school; ds out of town) OH -- and I have to climb Mt. Ironmore that day!
Friday -- dgrands will be here for most of the afternoon, while ddil goes to dentist appt, ds out of town
Really need to visit my colorist this week, too,
Harriet! Seems like I'm needing that more frequently these days... I sorta wish I had never started coloring my hair. My ddad's hair just sorta eased into a lighter and lighter shade, and when he passed away at 73, he still wasn't completely gray. I think mine would have done that if I had left it alone. But no... I didn't do that... and now the gray really shows up if I go too long between coloring. * sigh *
BTW -- so glad you had such a nice Sunday!
