Quiet enough?
*****************************
Well, we have had a couple of cool pleasant days. although I am sure that it will be warming up again very soon.
It is supposed to go down to 48 tonight. I brought the cockatiels inside and I gave Persimmon her fresh new bale of straw that I'd been hanging on to.
Yesterday was okay. I just couldn't bring myself to the gym, so I just did my usual wandering around aimlessly. I actually forgot that it was Mother's Day. The restaurants were insane and the traffic on Two Notch was crazy. Even the little sandwich place where I went was crowded and it is not a fancy place where you'd take mom for Mother's Day/ But there was a very nice lady in line. She saw that I was by myself and let me go ahead of her....she had 9 people in her party and I was very grateful that she let me go in front. That was very kind of her and I did appreciate it.
Speaking of Mother's Day, a friend of mine (not my crazy friend, she's another story) e-mailed me this morning with an awful Mother's Day story. Her 80 year old mom lives alone and apparently, she was trying to get a few things out of the bottom drawer of a tall dressed and it toppled over. The TV that was on top of it hit her in the head and the dresser fell on her, trapping her legs. It happened Saturday and they didn't find her until Sunday morning. Wow. Scary as hell. What a way to spend Mother's Day. But my friend says she's doing okay. She is in ICU and in serious condition but is apparently alert and in good spirits. They think she is going to be okay but they had quite a scare.
***********************************************************
Today was okay. It started out quite cool. I put my electric blanket back on my bed last night and I was glad I did. It got chilly. We took Cookie to the park at 10:00 this morning and she had a nice walk. It was pleasant and she didn't get too hot. After our little walk, we stopped and had aquick lunch. We were able to leave her in the car for the 30 minutes while we ate but it was warming up fast so we didn't dawdle. She was fine, especially since we brought her some BBQ and a piece of fried chicken.
The rest of the day has been extremely quiet. I was going to give Cookie a bath but she has been sleeping off and on so I didn't want to drag her out from her bed just to stick her in the tub. I let her alone. Not much else went on. I watched You Tube videos and played on the computer. Dinner was very simple. I had the leftover macaroni and cheese and hubby had smoked sausage and orzo pasta. Even Cookie got a small piece of sausage (it was turkey sausage) and a couple of tablespoons of macaroni and cheese. It was simple and quick.
That's it. I have just decided that for now, I can't get excited about anything because it always seems that for years now, anything I get excited about just never works out. I think I will just not get excited about anything. It's just not worth the effort and the disappointment.
I will go to bed soon....We are supposed to do a regular Tuesday tomorrow, which means lunch and shooting and frankly I don't even want to shoot. I will just go and have coffee while he goes to the range. That is his thing and we always manage to do that regularly every single week...which is fine. What isn't fine is that he has absolutely NO interest in anything I want to do and never has. But don't get me started on that because this whole thing is what I am finding so upsetting. So I'll just move on. He has been very kind and concerned and asking me if I am okay. I've tried to explain to him that I can just feel my brain melting down with this isolation and inactivity. I have TOLD him that but he just doesn't get it. He just does not get it. At all. I just feel like my enthusiasm for everything has been kicked down a notch.
That's it......I think I will read my horror story/ I finally picked upa John Saul book called "The Right Hand of Evil" (I know it's a creepy, awful title) but it's a pretty good book. I'm enjoying it.
Okay.....like I said don't get me started because, frankly. I am just about ready to give up on anything changing, I think I will read my book and get ready for bed.
Bye for now.
Bye bye.
Good night.

How horrible for that poor woman ~ I hope she pulls through. It's hard when the person in your life doesn't get where you are coming from. I hope it sinks in and he realizes you are unhappy.
I hope today is better for you.
