At this moment, I’m at a point where I both can’t believe
two weeks has past since my last post and knowing that much time has to have
past because of everything that’s happened since then.
To say the least, I’ve been busy. Okay, not busy on the
level of Konnie’s life. Frankly, I don’t think I’d survive that level of busy,
but I have had things on my calendar pretty much every day for the last couple
of weeks. In fact, there are a few things on my calendar that I didn’t actually
manage to do for one reason or another.
My calendar is still quite full. And by full, I mean I
have at least one event or appointment a day, along with chores and or errands
listed most days. Konnie is probably reading this and wishing her calendar
looked like mine.
Busy is relative. I don’t have kids to run hither and
thither. I do have gifts to wrap, or rather I did. Thankfully, I finished that –
yesterday. I also managed to get all my gifts shipped yesterday. Which for me
was quite a feat because I had a dentist appointment and company for dinner
yesterday.
As I told my guests last night, the longest I’d managed to
sit down all day, up to that point, was when I was in the dentist chair. I did
manage to sit for longer after my guests left, but I was so exhausted by that
point I could barely think. I managed to do one more crochet project and talk
to Konnie, but I didn’t manage anything else.
Yeah, I know Konnie accomplished a lot more yesterday then I
did, because she always does, let alone she was still up when I went to bed. I
could not handle that.
And I’m not sure how I’ll get through this weekend because I’m
double booked just a little bit. You see, my sister-in-law roped me into
helping her with a craft fair this weekend – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Three
days, the Sunday before Christmas, so I also have choir practice
Saturday and of course
church on Sunday.
Thankfully, my sister-in-law is okay with me being gone for
a couple hours those days, because I was committed to the choir long before she
asked me to help her with this craft fair, but this craft fair is why I was
trying to finish one more crochet project last night. I haven’t got much, but I’ve
got a verity of things to sell and I will be doing this with my sister-in-law,
so she has some things to sell too. And of course, we won’t be the only ones
there.
Anyway, at this point, I’m hoping my life will settle down a
little after Christmas, but I’m not sure it will because, one of the things I
have managed to do in the last two weeks is buy a car. Yeah, that’s right, I’m
mobile again, which is actually why I managed to get so much done yesterday. I
didn’t have to wait around for rides, just the dentist.
And I still have my Christmas baking to do. Plus, my
sister-in-law and I talked about driving around to see the lights sometime
before Christmas, we’re running out of time to do that. And I may actually have
to eliminate something else from my calendar, because I don’t think I have enough
time for everything. After all, I’ll have to do dishes, and laundry, and all those
sorts of chores in there too. I may live alone, but I still need to do those.
Not as often as they are done in Konnie’s house, but there is that issue of how
many people live with her. (I'm not going to try to count animals.)
And I’m running out of time for the things on my agenda
today, so I’m cutting this post short.
Happy writing everyone and Merry Christmas!
