Ahhhh… a hot shower – a nice glass of white and finally – relaxation.
We accomplished so much this weekend…one thing I learned the most -while wiping stupid shampoo out of my eyes…is to NOT blink.
When you blink…the day is over.
I swear I just woke up. I just fed “The Boys” breakfast. I just had a cup of coffee.
I just soaked hay. I just got back from the tack sale and the bird auction.
I just fed “The Boys” dinner. I just ate dinner. I just watched a movie. And I just did it all over again.
Yet – here I sit. Blinking. Wondering where my precious two meagre days of “weekend” went.
I went to tack a sale and got a smokin’ deal on a fly sheet…SCORE!!!!
I went to a bird auction – yes – a bird auction – to look at – well – birds. We are getting chickens and ducks and quail and any other assorted colourful bird that is pretty.
I did groceries. I cooked dinner…twice.
I sorted stuff that had been sitting in storage since we moved. I wrote notes/plans for the “new” barn. I cleaned to old barn. I hauled wet cardboard box after wet cardboard box – post sorting – to the fire pit. ]
I fed, I soaked, I watered and fed again. I ate – I slept – I showered and slept again.
And then I blinked – and here I sit – Sunday night. Cursed Sunday night. Planning on what to wear to work tomorrow. Planning meals for the week. Planning my day – planning my evenings.
Maybe if I stop blinking – I’ll have more time?? More time to plan?? More time to accomplish?? More time to think about stopping blinking???
I, of course, did not do all this alone. I had Hubs by my side, blinking, hauling, soaking, not cooking (LOL), moving, shoveling, toting, meandering.
It is 8:41pm – if I blink – it will be 10:00pm – so I’ll stop blinking for a little bit. I’ll enjoy my nice glass of white. I’ll keep planning for the week ahead and maybe if I blink ALOT – the weekend will be here before I know it!
Food for thought!
