Things you Realize

I've been home sick for the last 2 days and I've been forcing myself to sleep a lot and by doing so I've had trouble sleeping at bedtime. So I thought I would try to not sleep as much during the day so that I could go to bed really early and sleep better during the night. Lets hope it helps me get feeling better so that I can go back to work. Here is what I've realized in my awake moments the last 2 days.

First I realized that I am home during the day on a weekday probably only a handful of days and I wish it were more. Maybe when I'm lucky to be a mom it will be more.

Second I find my condo quiet and enjoyable when everyone is at work. But when it's this quiet you hear the noises that have probably been happening for awhile. So I realized that my toilet makes noises and have made a mental note to ask Danny my neighbor to take a look at it for me.

Third I realized that it's already the middle of October and I've let my favorite month of the year (September) slip by me without fully celebrating it! I need to find ways to not be so busy and enjoy life.

Fourth is that even though I am alone (no one to share house duties with) during this time in my life, I've been blessed with friends who bring me things (medicine, juice) when I can't leave the house.

Fifth that my list of things to do before going out of town next week is getting bigger while I sit at home sick. There have been many moments in the last year where I've wished for a companion to take over these details so they get done rather than pile up until I can do them. But it's not up to me, it's up to that wonderful man above.

Sixth I get to watch my movies and not feel guilty that things aren't getting done. I've watched a few movies. I borrowed The Inheritance and Karate Kid from Richard and April on Saturday and they have really come in handy. The Inheritance has become a new favorite and Karate Kid...Well lets just say I hadn't seen it in a few years, oh about 20 and realized that it was filmed 25 years ago and boy was it cheesy. Ralph Macchio was 23 when he filmed it (looked 14) and today he looks practically the same as he did then even though he is now 48 years old. Check him out on IMBD, I did!

Dishes never spend time in my sink it drives me nuts so I load the dishwasher often, and the sink now looks like their is a party going on, since I haven't had energy to empty the dishwasher to add these.

My new favorite brand of tissue is Scotties, of which I am completely stocked up on cause the Dollar Tree up the street
has them and only for a buck... And cause they are so soft!

It's been overcast and windy for the last couple of days and rain was in the forecast but I haven't seen very much. The wind woke me up 3 times during the night. Without the rain It has been beautiful and I've been able to take the time to look out my sliding glass doors and actual look and see the beauty that will soon be gone.

My favorite tree that gives me shade and privacy during the summer months. Pay no attention to the dirty table, I did the best I could this summer keeping it clean but found it's hard to keep deck furniture clean all summer.
