Weekending-- roses, laundry, and sunshine

 

ahhhh--- I built myself a long weekend, and I have a long list of things to do. 

Before you go and tell me to stop filling my time with work and to learn how to relax, let me tell you this: I cannot relax when I look outside and see the bramble-mess. I need to putter about in my roses. Today's the day. And I'll be away from both phone and computer, which is a nice change. It is supposed to be sort of warm, and sort of sunny. 

I also have a few little this-and-thats needing my attention, but nothing too big. And I have a gift of time to do these things! This weekend marks the next step in Holly-duty: I will have her half-days, not full days, on Saturday and Sunday. So this means no more scurrying about or trying to wedge things in here and there. I can slow down during the week a little, knowing I have some time to let chores spill over to the weekend a little. I think it's a good step toward creating a "normal" schedule for her. And for the rest of us, too!

I'm looking forward to it. And I took a personal day for Monday, as well-- it's been a whole lotta busy for a whole lotta time, and it was a relatively convenient date for me to request a little "me time," which will likely be filled in with other small chores. But I can choose! And I'll be able to shuffle around and have my coffee.

It's also Mother's Day tomorrow-- and I don't really have much of a plan for the day. I know I'll be going to church, and there will be a few house chores to attend to, but maybe lunch out? We'll see how that works. I bought some salmon for dinner, too-- "my day" and my choice of what to eat. 

I hope you have a weekend that goes your way.
