Good Morning and Welcome to a now rainy Thursday, July 2nd, 2020.
I booked today and tomorrow off as vacation so that I would have an extra long long weekend.
Last night we went to bed at our regular time or close.
I read my book, I am really enjoying this book.
“The DEATH of Mrs. WESTAWAY” by Ruth Ware.
This book is difficult to put down and last night knowing that I did not have to get up early – well I read late.
As I read the Canada Day fireworks were going off in the near distance.
They seem to go off for hours and I felt like I read for hours.
After I turned off the lights to go to sleep, I could not settle down.
When Alvin woke up at 4:30 – it felt so early.
Up we got and he had his glucosamine chew followed by breakfast.
Outside.
Then back to the sofa.
I/We were up about 6:30 a.m. and back outside.
No rain at that time.
Back in the house the sofa was calling my name and I just could not resist.
So back to the sofa.
I woke up at 7:30 and should have stayed up and was thinking “it is not raining – we should walk.”
But the sofa kept calling my name.
So I played this back and forth game until 8:35 a.m. – how horrible.
Now it is raining and we missed our opportunity to go for a walk.
The forecast is for some sunshine this afternoon so we will make sure that we go then.
I can only blame that sofa for calling out my name, NOT.
Oh well, I guess it is a day off and all is well.
Not worth whining about it as it is what it is.
Somedays you just have to have some extra sleep, right!
Perhaps some sunshine will perk me up and fill me with some energy.
Hopefully the sun will shine this afternoon.
Yesterday the sun did come out from behind those rain clouds.
The sky was amazing.
Huge dark blue rain clouds in parts of the sky and closer to us there were these white clouds that seemed to part to display pure blue bright sky.
Like a gate opening.
I could literally watch the sky for hours.
The way the clouds move and stay still.
Movement and stillness.
The colours.
So beautiful.
I found the start of a story that I had written almost ten years ago on my 53rd birthday.
The story is about Alvin and how my road led to him.
I cannot believe that I am going to be 63 next month.
Ten years has passed in the blink of an eye.
Life always seems to get in the way.
Seriously, I need to finish this ……
So I am going to transfer what I have written into the computer as it is way easier to type than to write for hours.
After a few minutes my writing / printing is not legible so typing is the best way to go.
Well I guess it is almost 9:30 a.m. and I don’t wish to be drinking coffee too far into the afternoon.
Time to get this day going.
Coffee and some breakfast.
Some writing (typing) today and walking and exercise.
I need to listen to Alvin more ……
I was thinking we could have had an nice early morning walk in ….. argh, okay, enough.
Okay this might be an interesting day.
Living with kindness and respect starts with oneself.
I/We, shall remain
Always, Carol & Alvin
