Friday recap in Day to day life from a woman that turned 60 in Oct 2014 and who lives on a farm and Retired on January 2, 2016. I plan to do more sewing, work outside in the yard and just enjoy my retirement.

Not feeling too great today. Matter of fact, my head has hurt and I’ve been so tired and lethargic that I really didn’t do anything. I woke up early, and I was really bummed about that, as I just knew I’d sleep a little later this morning. Didn’t happen and sadly I had some pain in my right hip. Not as much as previously but some. The swelling below my left ear is still happening so I will get an appointment for next week. I thought it was the saliva gland stopped again as it did a few years ago, but now I am leaning toward some kind of infection. I probably should have tried to get in today, but I just didn’t feel good enough and my head and eyes were hurting so badly. I laid on the sofa around 8 and slept for about an hour and a half. Had to get up to pee (always) and was hungry so fixed something to eat. I decided I need to move around and DO something, and even though I was slow, I got some more seeds planted. I planted Petunia and Moss Rose seeds and the zucchini seeds. I planted or have planted all of my seeds in little pots that you buy them in at a nursery or Walmart and Lowe’s.

I was going to buy potting soil yesterday at Lowe’s, but they had that area roped off. I’ll try again next week. I have one bag left and several big tubs so I’ll do some mixing and when the chances of frost or freezing are over, then they will all be transplanted into a tub or a planter.

So after I came in from planting these few seeds, I came inside washed up and again, went to the sofa. This time I wasn’t sure I would sleep but I did. This just isn’t normal for me and Mickey is supposed to stay with me tomorrow afternoon and night and Sunday and Sunday night.

I am praying I can give her a good time at Mawmaw’s this weekend and since we’re working cattle on Saturday and that wears me out, I’m feeling a bit afraid. I will do what I need to do so she does have a good time, and who knows where we’ll end up. I will make myself do it and enjoy my time with her. Then next weekend the two grandson’s will be here and if weather and winds permit, we’ll be burning limbs and leaves.

The ONLY other thing I did was hang my nighties outside to dry. When I got up after the afternoon siesta, I took them down, and decided I didn’t have any idea or energy to fix supper. J wanted me to cash his pay check, so I went to the bank and cashed his check and was going to get some cash from the ATM but it wasn’t working. Pfft. Then went to McD’s and got us supper. Not sure I’ve ever made the drive from home to get something for supper for just J and I. Wonder if I’ll sleep tonight. I’m thinking I will inbetween the pee breaks. *sigh

That is all. Take care and God Bless
