Not really a day of rest

[katesthoughts]

 

I woke up around 5:30 like usual and did the feeding routine and went back to bed and decided to start cleaning after 8.  I started upstairs with the bathroom and bedrooms.  I realize that there isn’t much in the other rooms but I don’t want it to be that dusty. 

It wasn’t long before I took a break and finished a letter to Karyn in Colorado.  I also started laundry and finished coffee.  I did my daily check in with the sibs.  I hadn’t heard from Big Brother until much later.

Before I got back to work I downloaded a journal app to the phone.  I just had read a blog entry about journaling and this person was very interesting.  I like learning about how to blog or journal and the different methods (I am having a hard time with the minimalist journaling part I do find it interesting to see others work it.)

Around two I started losing my energy for the cleaning.  I kept looking around and said well the floors are done.  I didn’t wash them I will probably do that next week.  There isn’t much to do dust either.

So I spent the next couple of hours either relaxing or waiting for the laundry to finish so I could make the bed and fold the clothes.

All day I was thinking about the cousin chat today.  I was nervous about their reaction to the news the house.  What would they say?  Would they be judgmental? That was a possible reaction.  I expected suggestions on types of housing, and some reassurances too.

It was great to hear the stories and memories of each of them from their daily lives.  It’s almost like a video letter of their lives.
