8:12 PM
I have two pumpkin pies in the oven., a load of towels in the wash, and a dishwasher about ready to start. Mom is sick on the couch. Ack... I actually love taking care of people, but I think from now on, I'm just going to expect the roof to cave in. I've done zero homework today. John and I went to Baristas this afternoon with the intention of doing that, but then we had things to talk about, sandwiches to eat, and the cat was there being cute. We went to Wal-Mart... he wanted to buy his sister some mace due to the recent robberies around town. They didn't have any. Then there were various issues to be discussed. Ack. Sometimes I get so tired of the same situations presenting themselves time and again. At some point, you need to grow up. If you're the parent, be the parent. Children shouldn't be raising their parents. That's all.
Sometimes being who you are and being loved for that can be exceptionally healing. I'm thinking of something a friend said recently, that love is never wrong, even when temporary or fleeting. This friend and I are frequently on separate wavelengths, though often the same. But I would agree with her on this point. And today I have been surrounded by love, and I'm just trying to absorb and re-emanate it.
OK, wish these pies would get done already so I could get the strawberry rhubarb started and wind down for bed. Trying not to think about not exercising today. Yes, it's driving me a little nuts. Tweak, tweak, tweak. Honestly, part of the thing is this ankle. I told myself I wouldn't do anything bouncy like running or Zumba over this break when I didn't have to to let it heal up, so that doesn't leave a lot of cardio options. And really... I lifted yesterday, so I don't know what else to do anyway. Breathe... it'll be fine. What did I just say about moderation? It just... irritates me. I'm too energetic and need to go get it out of my body. >:(
