Onward And Upward
Well here it is almost 1 a.m and I'm wide awake. I don't expect to get much sleep tonight. It's a full moon.
It's been snowing heavily, or flurrying lightly, all day long. It's been another lazy day for me. Having an awful lot of those lately. But hey, I have a few new house plants to water, that's something!
Feeling rather apathetic about everything these days. Hubby went for smokes and I did housework, woohoo. I did plug in the sewing machine and it does work, yay! So no more excuses, time to start sewing, tomorrow, maybe.
With Hubby home from work for so long, how long has it been? I don't know, we're getting incredibly lazy and apathetic. We're living like two hermits. Do hermits live in twos? Since cancelling that party last month, we haven't done any socializing. We're even turning down invites. What's up with that?
I'm used to spending the majority of my time at home and much of it alone. I like it. But I am surprised Hubby is accepting it so well. He's enjoying it. I suppose it could be the novelty of the situation. It started out good with painting the familyroom, but accomplishments seem to have stopped there. Hubby is more outgoing than I am, and he's used to getting out in the world daily. I'm quite surprised he's so content hanging around at home, just the two of us, (sometimes the three of us when the weather is bad and school is closed). I'm here waiting for the novelty to wear off......
Exchanged some emails with Big R, feeling better about all that. I am well aware that parts of her childhood sucked, but we can't change that now. All we can do is work with what we've got. And what we've got is a very bright future. Like, lets work on replacing bad memories with good ones. Life is so much better for both of us now, lets enjoy it. The fact that she is independent, doesn't NEED me, is a good thing. That's how it's supposed to be. I am such a dependant person I tried to raise her to be more independent, and it worked. I believe 99% of the population of the world has issues and beefs with their parents. Just remember, those times that sucked for you, sucked for me also. If I was happier, you would have been happier too. I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry things went the way they did. But they turned out well in the long run. Life is too short. I love you Big R and I am always so proud of you. I know you don't always believe that, but it's true.
In all my apathetic lounging, my creative little mind came up with another facet to add to the home business. When renovations and planning came to a standstill, I lost momentum, then lost interest. It has stayed on a back burner though, it didn't go away, just got put on hold. There is so much else going on. But I did some thinking about it today. I think I may be onto something. This renewed my excitement, motivation and anticipation. Starting a new business from the ground up is a lot of work. A lot of planning. A lot of preperation. But we're plugging along. As things begin to move forward again, the momentum will increase as well.
I didn't leave the house today except to take smokes over to S.W. We always pick up for other people when we go. Why not, we're going anyways (and I do usually go just for the drive through the countryside, but wasn't feeling up to it today). Now we're thinking next time we'll just buy a case. We weren't aware they sold them by the case, until today. Not sure how many cartons are in a case, but I'm guessing it's 100.
I'm still undecided about sending a carton down to Anonymous Cathy. I'm pretty sure I paid her back with smokes. Unless I have her confused with someone else. Upon further thought on the situation, I don't think that is what she wants anyways. The more I think about it, the more I think all she wants is for me to feel bad about myself. She wants me to feel guilty. She wants me to feel insecure. She wants me to feel like a loser. She wants me to feel like a freak. But I don't feel that way. I feel proud of myself. I feel strong. I feel better about myself than ever before. I feel positive. I look forward to the future like never before. Life is moving ahead and that's how it should be.
I may babble about being in a rut, but no rut is permanent, at least it doesn't have to be. I think it's more a case of the winter blahs than an actual rut.
So far, plans for tomorrow will include going to town to pick up odds and ends groceries that we forgot when we last shopped. Maybe some browsing through the thrift store, (Hubby saw a couple of paintings he's interested in), seeing what's new in the dollar store, that type of thing. I think at this point I should wait for the end of the season to look for a new snow shovel. It's like how the price of fans and air conditioners sky rockets during a heat wave, I'm sure snow shovels are quite pricey right about now. I'll wait until they go on sale in a couple of weeks. I so never used to do things like that! Wait for a sale? Ha! Not I! But hey, why not?
I think I may purchase some tanning minutes too, if I can remember that once we get to town. I tend to always forget something when I go. Very forgetful lately. But when we go to town we usually have a list of places to go and things to do, but we never have an actual written list or anything, so something is always forgotten, until we're almost back home again, of course. I tell ya, going to town is an EVENT, lol.
Ah well, I'm starting to feel sleepy, yay.
Until later, sweet dreams.
