I want to write, I really do, but my procrastination and avoidance are on overdrive these days.
There’s an actual entry about half written in the drafts folder from like 4 days ago. I can’t, or don’t, seem to make the time to go back in there and finish it.
Today I’m typing just to type. I don’t plan on saying much of anything so you can skip right on by.
We’ve been busy working on our backyard and other random house projects. The 3 raised beds we made last year are finally all completely filled with flowers. It looks so beautiful! We got these new solar lights out there [and in the front] and they are totally amazing. You don’t even need to switch on a light to go outside anymore. We patiently waited and found all the right flowers. Some of them have needed some extra tender love and care, but they are all so beautiful. I love them and it’s so nice to look out there and see all that color. Little by little it is all coming together.
We also finally got the rest of the pieces for the new bed my mom ordered late last year. Of course it also came in wrong. So many things have gone wrong with that bed. But we haven’t really complained. Just gone with it. Which is surprising from mom. haha. Maybe it’s some weird thing from the Universe. I don’t know. We’ll see. The redhead selling the furniture is pretty cute, so I don’t complain much about having to go back there either. ;) But we got it figured out enough and it looks good!
In less exciting news: my joints are acting up a bit right now. About two nights ago I kept constantly waking up in the night/early morning because of pain in my elbow. I’ve had all these issues for a long time, but the pain is new and I don’t like it at all. I especially don’t like that it’s interrupting my sleep. The insomnia has already been pretty bad over the last few months [I’m basically awake anywhere from 3:30 - 7:30 most mornings] and I don’t need to add anything to that.
My left knee has been super swollen for a while. It’s gone in and out over the years but it’s been about the size of a softball for a few months at least. Not much pain, so I’m grateful for that. This morning it all kinda added up though and I could not walk to the bathroom after I got up. I had to lean against things and stop half way despite it being the next room over. I just could not put pressure on my ankle.
I don’t know why it’s all acting up all of a sudden. I haven’t changed anything with my diet. My exercise routine is off but it’s been supplemented by other things. That could be it. The weather is also changing, but it’s getting super hot [triple digits ugh…] and usually joints ache in the rain. It would be just like me to have the opposite reaction. hah. Oh well. I’ll continue living and hope it goes away soon.
I have a baptism to attend tomorrow. Pretty much everyone else I know is avoiding it due to family drama. We’re kinda only going out of guilt, like we feel bad because they’ve gone to a lot of our things and it’s not the kid’s fault. I’m not really directly involved in most of it so whatever. We’ll see how it goes. It’s going to be hot as heck and probably outside. I don’t plan to stay long if I can help it. I hope there’s wine!
We have to meet a client on Sunday and maybe I’ll take mom out for father’s day, depending on how it all goes. Next week we work a couple more days. On Saturday we have to go in to meet someone else and JR’s dad is having a big birthday party. I’m not that excited to go to that either but he’s personally invited us, and mentioned it several times, so I feel bad not showing up if I finish work early enough. He seems to really want us there, which is kinda cool. JR invited me for bbq yesterday and I’m still waiting to taste it so at least his dad should follow through on his offer, you know, since they made invitations and brought us one. haha.
I’m not really a fan of having so many social engagements scheduled but I’ll deal. One day at a time. There’s not much more I can do about it.
One day at a time.
rose.
