My nerves were all in a bundle (and not a money saving one either) last night so I stayed up late and then bumbled out of bed about 8:15 this morning. I was grumpy and unhappy because once again the other goofy two in this household had forgotten stuff and I wasn't even fully awake.

R took daughter down to her friend's house to retrieve her light London Fog coat as it is chilly in the mornings now. Then he did a few things around the house that didn't get done last night, thinking he wouldn't work today.

It had rained yesterday and evening and R's boss thought it would be too muddy to dig today but I guess he thought otherwise and called R around 10:30 to come on into work anyway. I'm not complaining because that paycheck is a necessity for my luxurious lifestyle.

R had already put laundry in the washer and we had planned to hang it out to dry even though it would be chilly today. There was supposed to be a pretty good breeze, but that doesn't matter now because the laundry has gone into the dryer. There is no way I should be lifting wet laundry much less dry. So when the clothes are done drying, I will go to the laundry room at the back of the house and fold them and leave them there in the basket until R gets home.

I really hate being restricted! It is in my nature to be as independent as possible so a little planning is involved in completing some household things. I have had enough energy to prepare and cook simple meals and that makes me happy.

I was telling R this morning before he went to work that it would be around Thanksgiving time before I was probably 100% again. Ah, patience. I don't recall praying for that!

So, the morning has been somewhat productive. I guess I will get my nap in this afternoon. ;)
