I must admit, I am not feeling quite ready for the next three-day marathon, however, I do believe that I will reach the finish line triumphant. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31 taken slightly out of context and yet, nevertheless, true.) I keep thinking that if He put me there, He will need to provide the strength and endurance because I don't have it in and of myself.
I found myself not knowing quite what to do with my day. I cleaned the kitchen, washed my bedding, and put my laundry in. After a drive to town and a computer delay at the Dollar General where I was attempting to purchase pet food and potting soil, I returned home to repot an overgrown and sprawling (literally) jade.
A walk was considered, and then recon- sidered, and finally did not occur at all. We (Sofie, the cats, and I) made it all the way to the edge of the orchard where I stopped short after making a brief consideration on mowing the lawn. On our return to the house, I climbed onto the tractor only to find the key not in the cup holder, and this being a "new to me" machine, I decided to fold my clean laundry instead, since it was not folding itself, even though I had given it plenty of time.
I love how your cats take walks with you. Our cat Teddy, long ago, did this...right at our heels like a dog would! I suspect Slate would be the same if we took walks, which we don't...lol...
ReplyDeleteLaundry is nice like that, isn't it? Patiently waits for you to return. :)
You will be fine for three days of work! You used to care for a house full of children...it couldn't be that much different! haha....and it was 24/7 then.
This is true, but my legs were younger then. I do love the people, it's just the clock I don't care for.

Laundry is very patient and it never ever complains at being left in the basket, no matter how long.
I like to reheat the laundry...several times....just for a few minutes....
ReplyDeleteMakes it easier to fold!
This usually only happens with the LAST load...hahaha!
I do great on the first 3....then I fall behind....
Betsy is right on....so smart...you'll be fine...
And...
Then you get paid! Yippee!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
I will get paid tomorrow for the second time. The past two weeks have gone by fast. I will be seriously considering a new pair of shoes if my feet continue to ache.
DeleteYes, the last load. That is the one that gets wrinkled after lazily laying in the basket for days. I did better today. Probably because I'm working the next three days.

Have a good 3 days....
DeleteWe have our first long weekend of the "summer"...
Yes..invest in a pair of good runners....they are so cheap in the States....
Hope your legs feel like new in the morning. I usually fold my clothes in the laundry room since there is a large table. Then Don helps me carry it up stairs.
ReplyDeleteA new pair of shoes sounds like a good thing.
I'll have to run this weekend in the shoes I have and maybe find something new next week.
DeleteI fold my clothes in the living room, but I no longer dump them out in a heap on the floor.
