Whoops! I did it again
We have people come in to help take care of Jackie in the morning. One day a month I have a friend come in the afternoon so I have some free time.
Today was that day. I had my day all planned. Leave at noon, hit 5 places in Rockford, visit Dan and Linda for a few minutes, get home by 5.
I had everything laid out on the table. Wallet, van keys, gift cards, lists. I was in clean jeans for god sake! Ready and raring to go at noon.
At 12:15 I was a little concerned. She has never been late.
I looked at our calendar.....noting marked.
I check texts and I had asked her to come Oct. 27. Then I noticed the date today...it was not October. 27.
Fudge. I did it again. Confused dates, for the millionth time in my life. It is so damn frustrating.
The upside was I had a clear afternoon.
How did I spend it?
2 loads of laundry.
Waxing the kitchen cabinets.
Cleaning the stainless steel.
Washing the kitchen floor. (On my hands and knees, in case you thought I was slacking.)
Playing spider solitaire.
Playing with Beth.
Eating a huge piece of chocolate cake and sipping Earl Grey.
No nap. No afternoon coffee. No trip to Rockford.
At least I got a couple of tasks checked off my list.
I had Emily over Sunday for the 4th time to explain the new Nest thermostat to me. I think I get it now, but I still don't understand it. Emily does not either. The heat is set, but there is also a cooling temperature. We can't get out of that program.
So the cooling temp is set at 80. If the house temp reaches 80, the AC will cick on. I imagine the smoke detectors will too, because that is pretty damn hot!
I did not sleep well again last night.
But tonight I am tired. I did not have a nap. I did enough chores to make me sleepy.
I just hope when I get into bed my mind shuts down.
This world is much too vexing for me these days.
Peace and Love
