A do over? in TIME Flies and other Thoughts

At my Mom’s house-
Woke up.. read Facebook’s… I have a Personal one and a Game one on the game one I also follow a bunch of groups. I checked email. (Not that I get much because I can go a week and get nothing (with the exception in the Junk folder). But one gal and I have been writing back and forth for a while. And I played a few simple games I have on my iPad.
I’d have breakfast.
Then the rest of the day was getting up and down every time my mom called me to do something. Wash her clothes, make her meals when she was hungry. Get her many cups of ice throughout the day. And sit and listen to her and or watch TV with her. And periodic trips to the store and McDonald’s.

And at my brother’s house in Palm Springs, I never had time for the iPad. We were up and then doing things

On Tuesday the 30th, I got home and I plop down in front of the Laptop (Where I can do sooooo much more than I could on my iPad) and have been here most of the time since. What a difference from the last two weeks.
............... And I can’t say I am enjoying it much. Same ole, same ole.

I have chosen to stay home all this week and go no where and see no one..
But even next week when my outside of the life picks up, I can’t say I am looking forward to it. It feels like same ole same ole.

Maybe I need a do over.
A MOVE would cure that. But the chances of that are close to null.

I am starting two new things this Fall. Well not new, but picking them back up.
BSF.. (Bible Study Fellowship). And in a new location. When I first moved here they did the Book of Revelation for the first time. At that time I was not willing to drive further than my town so I missed it. This year they are doing that study again, so I signed back up.

Bowling… I quit when Covid hit. The only think I dislike about Bowling is it is 25 miles away.

My at home time needs to change. Maybe start doing Crafty things. Do daily exercise.. we do have an exercise room with equipment. Be more diligent with the out of the house exercise programs. Read more. Listen to the Radio more. Listen to Podcasts. Put together the collage albums I have wanted to do from each of the last 3 moves. This summer I have sat outside only a few times to read. And I haven’t done anything as far as new Flowers, or fixing up the one area I want a do over and it is August!
Just things that will remove me from the Computer. Less Computer living.

Maybe join a different Senior Center.. . New people, new games and activities. I guess I am tired of the old ones. Same Gossipy people.

When I am away for several weeks I always have a hard time desiring to get back into the swing of things.
.................And yet what you know is comfortable, even if not satisfying all the time.

I know I should switch things up..
...........................................But a MOVE would sure cure all of this.
I suppose I should be careful what I think because we are Rooted here. And our Daughter lives here… which is the sole reason we chose to live here.

At the end of December, I’ll report back here on this matter.
Did I allow Procrastination/Laziness to be my norm or did I do something other?
