I think she loved me anyway, but was she ever pleased when I produced a granddaughter for her whose organization, talent and work ethic had clearly skipped a generation.<br />XUP, that siren song. The trouble is that I do it too many days.<br />VioletSky, I do that. In consequence both the sewing/laundry room and my office are a Total Disaster. And here I am, on the computer.<br />kyooty, I'm using the dryer too; but we are promised some sun by tomorrow, so I have saved all the big stuff.<br />Jennifer, entropy is my enemy. And I have given up on the weeds; I decided to learn to love them.<br />Maypole, oh yes. I have hardly got started at all and it is almost 10:00 pm. Mind you, I like late nights, but only when accompanied by late mornings and tomorrow I have to get up, shudder, early.MARY Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178370815712313585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668392343139286753.post-32266699740202244132009-09-15T21:12:09.399-04:002009-09-15T21:12:09.399-04:00Harg!

Banish that nagging "I should do something" voice in your head and just have a lazy day. Nap, read blogs, drink coffee, eat delicious things. The next day you'll be a whole new person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668392343139286753.post-32038607681792104402009-09-15T17:31:31.223-04:002009-09-15T17:31:31.223-04:00We are having the same day.

I tried it today and got the floor washed.

Ok yeah that's a stretch, the only thing I accomplished was my twice monthly grocery run and stripped and remade a bed. I think I may have to stuff some wet clothes into the dryer because the sun is not cooperating today.

It's too overwhelming! I said. And she said, Just pick any spot. So I bent down and pulled one of the weeds under my foot... It is amazing how motion sets one in motion, eh?
