I have just been sitting here at Mom's tired as could be...I don't know whats going on with me. This morning I woke up at 6:30..full of energy..hung out laundry to dry for the day. Some how are Autumn has been overtaken by a summer warm day.. It must be the ones we hadn't seen. It's a lovely warm day..but at the moment I'm just tired out. Maybe it's all the running around...who knows but I have been stuck to the chair in front of the computer for hours now.............
Thinking maybe it would be nice if I was just sitting in the garden ... day dreaming the day away............maybe it's the stress of all the Social Security things and the doctors things and Mom's things..maybe it just all caught up to me...
I think I should start taking my liquid vitamin B's...they are good for stress and energy all at the same time... I haven't taken them in a long while ...
I'm already thinking of the weekend ... Mom asked me what I was going to do..I want to clean the other half of my storage and get everything into plastic bins. And have my sons friend come over and see what we can do with it ... Do you remember the Landlord left me purple paint ... well yesterday I was thinking maybe it will look nice who knows ... lol ... but I had imagined it ...
A picture of my winter carrot seed packet ... aren't they just too cute can't wait to plant them...
