Friday's Flutterings
12:17 PM
I'm trying to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet before I hit the shower and get the day into gear. I'm enjoying the time between when my husband leaves for work and son returns from school. Some part of me greatly misses when they would take a Saturday and head off to Austin for the day to play Warhammer. With Kevin's work schedule, though, it hasn't been possible.
I feel like I should be writing some of the stories I have bottled in my head, but they aren't coming out just yet. My mind is having a difficult time getting kickstarted. I need to sew the pillow for the cat. Her sassy butt is going into the cage sometime today and I'm going to scrub down my office over the weekend. It needs it. I think I will get the litter and stuff ready for the crate and leave it to my son to capture the cat.
I came to the conclusion the other day when I was in Bath and Body Works that I only have one me and if I don't take care of me, no one will. There are things about me that can't be fixed, like my knee or my hip. Those are things I have come to terms with. However, there are plenty of things I can do to improve my life each day like cleaning up and cleaning out crap, making decent meals for my family, remembering to take my vitamins and herb supplements every day, make something, and just do something useful.
Sometimes, feel like I'm letting others around me down, but I only have one child still living at home. I'd rather not make his time here unhappy. Then again.. I think at 17, he'd be happy if I only stuck my nose out of the computer long enough to fix food and leave him to his own devices with the video game machines.
I started keeping this journal for many reasons, one of which is to record things I want to remember. My memory is another thing gone haywire over the years. Ginkgo Biloba helps with that. I often tell people Ginkoba, but that's actually a trade name that pops out first. Ginkgo Biloba can be bought in Wal-mart or other pharmacies over the counter. What it actually does is increase blood flow to the brain. That is helpful, believe me. Here's a bit more on it http://www.kcweb.com/herb/Ginko.htm
I often think Ben Franklin was right. He was right about many things, but air bathing for a bit each day is helpful.
I'm off to attended to a few things... might be back to RP later not sure.
