I guess I wrote it so I had to be 'proven' wrong. I was awake several times during the night; don't know what kept waking me up... not completely awake to where thoughts would enter my mind, but just enough to refuse to look at the time (and yet, a couple times I did... 12:15AM; 3:15AM) and although I finally did get up at 4AM as usual...I'm not sure why I am struggling to stay awake this morning. I haven't gone back to sleep that I am aware of... but it's one where I am constantly shifting positions to stay awake. I am sure I need to get more active on the weekends other than just crocheting because my body isn't getting any exercise. Plan to get back to my weights today. I can probably also take a walk.
It will be a s-l-o-w day today, I think. My one boss is on vacation today and tomorrow... which means I have NO BOSS at all for two days... and no work to do. A lot of times I will take the same time off, but I already have 2.5 weeks on the schedule to take off and I'm not sure how much time I have for the rest of the year. It's two weeks yet for one new boss, and a month for the other. I WILL be busy then, for sure.
My birthday 'gifts' from places I shop at are starting to come in. Kohls has 'given' me $5 off; Penney's $10 off; Bruester's $3 off (if you haven't tried Bruester's ice cream - you should! It's a bit pricey, but so is Baskin Robbins. It's at 51st just north of Bell... soooo good and an OCCASIONAL treat.) Other '$$ off' will start coming in this week. Most I will just ignore as to get that $ off, I have to buy something... and there isn't anything I 'have to have'. Why spend money just to use a $ off 'gift'? I am waiting for the one from Michael's or JoAnn's because I do buy yarn... Hobby Lobby too. :-) I'm still working on using up the yarn I have here at home and not buying any. Almost finished with another baby blanket I started this weekend... can't see much of a dent in my yarn stash though.
Do you ever have one of those mornings where nothing is coming to your mind to write about? I'm having one of those this morning. I reviewed my weekend in my mind and nothing spectacular stands out that I can share. I read some, crochet some, watched movies. Yeah, that was the weekend. I feel I am getting old before my time.
My little sister said she sent my birthday gift early and it should arrive today - but she says I cannot open it until my birthday. Two can play her game. I haven't gotten her birthday (a week later) gifts put together yet and I can send later this week and make her wait a week. Yes, I will wait if she asks that I don't open. The thing is, when she does that, it takes the excitement of getting a present away. Know what I mean? The box will be here today.... and it will 'sit' for a week.... it loses the excitement of opening a present when you first get it, cause when you wait, you schedule the time for it to be opened. She usually always gets me fun and thoughtful things... not always things I would purchase for myself; i.e., I have two spoons; one is a large teaspoon that has 'good morning sister' on it. I have a tea spoon that has another saying on it... I haven't used it and it's still in its cover.. I think it is the 'ice cream spoon' or something like that. Cute, fun gifts, for sure. I do use the good morning sister one. She will usually throw chocolate in the box, but she said she didn't this time because it has been so hot and muggy it would melt pretty bad before it got here. I wonder if she will give in and say it's ok to open... she just might cause she is usually the one who can't wait!
I do need to bake some cranberry pumpkin nut bread... I usually send a loaf to sissy's hubby (whose birthday is the 6th) and she doesn't like cranberries so want to fix plain pumpkin bread for her. I might be able to 'work it in' today... need to write a note though... I'm afraid I'll forget. I did buy more flour and sugar this weekend so that I can do some baking. Uncle Edward's cancer is in remission and he seems to be feeling better and able to do some things around the house - which is a good thing.
Ok ... it's taken me 45 minutes to get this far and it's not much... God hasn't given me any specific profound thoughts to share so guess I'll close this off. Maybe tomorrow...
Have a great day - be safe, be well, be blessed!
