Text of the page (random words):
i was quite happy with my portion for lunch today i should have diced and reheated some of the beet i d roasted to go with it but i didn t think of it at the time after lunch i loaded up the dishwasher and then washed everything by hand that wouldn t fit in the dishwasher i tried to pack all i could in there but there s only so much space now it s waiting to be emptied after that i emptied three of the boxes of books that were behind the guest room door and put them on the shelves here in the study they filled just three shelves i have plenty of room to move extras from the living room shelves and i think i m going to set up one shelf as genealogy stuff and empty the tub where i ve hoarded those things i also have one shelf dedicated to john s music books and notebooks and papers i will eventually be sorting out those and culling out the multiples of things but not right now some tasks are still too personal and painful to handle just at present i take those things a little at a time and then i ll have to recover from the emotional wear of doing them the empty boxes the books were in will be packed with the china and glassware that i ve hoarded and not used it s hard to admit that something i ve held onto for so long is simply not going to be used but it s not and so why am i keeping it all while the decluttering spirit moves me i need to let go of as much of the excess of stuff i have accumulated as i can i ll still have plenty of stuff i am a collector by nature and by no means minimalistic but i m determined that in future i shall collect and store only what i m actually using no more money spent on pretty things to sit behind closed doors unseen and unused the house is changing i don t find that unusual there s been a major change in life here and i ve always responded to the outward changes of life by adjusting the interior of my home as well there s the fortune of having a wealth of inexpensively gotten things i can afford to let them go and find something else that suits this current phase of life mostly decor items or thrift and yard sale purchased furnishings not the stuff we paid proper good money for i do tend to hang on to those things and use them until they are past their lifespan now i am off to put my chicken pot pie in the oven i ll try to put away the dishes which takes far less long to do than it does for me to make up my mind to doing when supper is ready i shall officially call my day finished there are a puzzle book and a coloring book waiting on me after supper and i ll listen to music or tv while i play with those saturday june 6 interesting thoughts to note today i was thinking about grandmothers in general different grandmothers and how they approach their grandchildren etc i can t say much about my great grandmothers as my time around both was fairly limited granny was very much prone to being a hands on sort of grandmother she kept us when we were too young for school she took us on holidays when we were in school and she periodically came to stay the night and spend time with us all throughout the school year grandmother and granddaddy tended to come see us about once a month pretty much catching up with the whole family at once we spent a few summer days with them but not necessarily every year even though they didn t live that far from us perhaps an hour and a half part of that had to do with an alcoholic and sometimes violent uncle and i think part of it had to do with grandmother s own lack of grandmothers both her mother s mother and her father s mother died when her parents were young children and so they more or less were raised by other family members there were no grandparents about in her childhood she had no clue what a grandparent did yes she did keep us when we were young and my uncle was not yet the threat he became in later years but truly the only time we were allowed to go spend a week with them was when the uncle was locked safely away in jail for a few months time and not likely to be about my mother though she d grown up with both her grandmothers and spent lots of time with them was not to be bothered with children indeed she always proclaimed to me that she wasn t going to spend her spare time doing my job for me granny sometimes took my children for a few days at least giving them a taste of what i d had growing up but not often and seldom did she have them that mama didn t call and fuss at me over the fact that they were with granny whom mama was convinced i was taking advantage of i have friends who have grandchildren some of whom live near enough and some who live far away and in varying degrees they choose to spend time with them or not as their personality dictates i don t criticize anyone i know only what i had in granny and those occasional visits with grandmother and i loved the times i was with them hence i have often tried to say yes to my own children and grandchildren when they request time to come here but occasionally i do say no i said no earlier today when i had a request for a grandchild to come over supposedly wanting to work but from past experience i can tell you sincerely that she is very much into the attention seeking stage and if i don t pay attention is prone to get into trouble doing things she oughtn t like gluing coloring pages to the wall or using the carpet as a work surface to put paste on things or leaving the dining table covered with paint or nail polish not in a destructive way nor done to be mean simply the way any six year old does that sort of thing with an intent to do the more grown up things not allowed at home today i was not up to it i ve had residual guilt all morning never mind that one of my scheduled days next week is simply for her particular pleasure otherwise i ve a rather busy and taxing week ahead the final legalities to tie up or at least so i hope and a day out with my friend susan which should be fun and a day with millie as promised and then a day to have an adult birthday party with josh in fact in the next seven days i ve only one day planned to be at home yesterday i went to run errands and get groceries finishing up what i d meant to do on wednesday when i ended up sitting at the mechanics none of this was what i really wanted to do what i wanted to do above all else was go do something fun for myself like visit a garden center and get some coleus or go to the hardware store for paint for the entry doors or wander about a clothing store or anything in the world but adult responsibilities but there you are however next week is already scheduled to the max yesterday had to be about the other necessities post office dollar store paying bills running by the bank getting gas in the car getting groceries going up to sam s to get produce for the week ahead and two or three more things i can t recall just off the top of my head it was hot it was tiring and exhausting my hip was aggravated from the previous day s work of lifting and shoving heavy things about in my home i left home around 11am and got home around 6pm with a car to unload hungry as a bear and a new worry the check oil light started flashing on and off as i was finally headed home more car trouble and me just having put 1600 into the car i m a little worried mind you i do have a second car and it s a perfectly decent car it just isn t my car and isn t nearly as comfortable to drive as the toyota it s a honda civic equally as old as the toyota that sits much lower and i can just see over the nose of the thing because it is so low and the speedometer is perfectly hidden by the steering wheel which sits just about the level of my pupils however it s far fewer miles on the odometer than the toyota so yes a viable car but it just doesn t fit me like the toyota does not to mention the ac is iffy and this time of year ac is desirable almost more than desirable i didn t even put away all the groceries last night once i got in the house i was just too done in i put away the cold things in fridge and freezer and this morning i ve had to divide and sort and put away in proper places all of the things we won t even discuss prices i spent my entire budget and i know that i shall have to return later in the month for milk and eggs at the least i made countless choices and swaps in what i wanted and what i felt i might better spend instead i m very grateful i have the money to manage on but ding dang darn i hate to feel i m running right to the very edges of my income you know so there you are my rest day today protected but lots of guilt worrying about others and others feelings and on the other far too tired to do much about anyone s feelings including my own but the sun is shining and has since wednesday so there is a positive spin to it all the lawn is freshly mown gloriously lush and green looking i ve done enough yardwork this week that the difference shows clearly the house is clean too i sat on the porch yesterday evening watching the sunset without being eaten alive by mosquitoes and this morning i was out watching sunrise and listening to the birds calling out as they began their day i ve sheets flapping in the breeze on the line gathering up all the good fresh air and sunshine smells my windowsill is full of lovely fresh herbs that sam cut in his garden yesterday basil dill oregano parsley i did think to buy myself flowers yesterday while i was out and they are glowing about the house in the living room kitchen and on my desk i have good food to cook today for my meals and because i ve been sensible today i very possibly might get a nap to make up for the restless night i had so i shall end the week with a list of the positives and no complaints june is going to be a good month p s sam came to check the oil which was only 3 quarts low sheesh we ve not noticed any leaking anywhere and think it might have been part of the problem with the car s issues on wednesday just something they didn t check sam urged me to take that car to church tomorrow since i ll be in an area where he bess katie cody and not the mama will all be close to hand to help if i get stranded i shall drive cautiously we discussed his putting me on his aaa service which would be a good thing i think at june 07 2026 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest may as well wednesday may 20 i did it i finally took the plunge and went to a proper salon and got a proper haircut even though i had only a lot of pictures and vague ideas of what i wanted i got a decent cut i was flabbergasted at the cost roughly 2 5 times what it costs at gyp and clip but this experience includes the shampoo and styling making it an experience to enjoy i ve contemplated over and over again whether it is genuinely worthwhile to spend such a sum getting hair washed and cut i ve decided that yes yes it is number one because they do include the extras the things that makes one feel they are in a salon the things which are all extra fees at gyp and clip and would run their costs up nearer to what they charge in the proper salon number two i felt pampered and cared for not rushed number three they suggested i not return for 8 weeks since i am still in the process of growing my hair out so the extra cost is at least spread over 2 months and not a monthly charge as it is at the places i ve gone to in the past continue at june 01 2026 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest may or may not saturday may 2 i had a lovely day today despite it being rainy and cool enough to warrant wearing a sweatshirt when we were out i was up early and ready to go out with katie then i sat down and folded the basket of clothing i d left unfolded
