My plan to just read and be was a bit delayed. I noticed my daily bouquets needed new flowers, so I went out early, picked and added and subtracted and got this
Then I noticed the downstairs plants were thirsty, so I watered them. This usually means mopping up the spills on tables and floors.
Then I noticed a stitched artwork that could be translated into a pillow. So I took it off the frame, removed the cheesecloth backing, and washed it for reuse, I'm always needing to strain this and that. And here's the piece, dyed and beaded and stitched, ready for a new life
Once I construct a pillow, that is. And the empty frame will do well on free cycle, then I thought what about the just being, leave the freecycle for now, girl.
Then I noticed I need to make yogurt, so I did that. Then the mail arrived, medication on the step. And they'd renewed the wrong one.
I've tried three times to get the website to add my new Rx, which is a smaller dose of another one, but I now need both together to arrive at the right dose. They can't seem to get this concept.
So, urgent message on my doctor portal asking them to be sure the online pharmacy has in fact contacted them, as they claim, for a refill rx.
At this point I'm having to split pills in the bigger dose to get the additional 50% dosage. Today I was expecting to get the right size dose.
Then it was lunchtime and I had the rest of the steamed baby potatoes diced and roasted in olive oil and salt, with the last of the tuna salad and mint sauce.
This was definitely good. No complaints here.
Then I agonized for a bit, in view of the renewed heatwave this week, whether to reschedule the hearing aid fitting. I don't think I can handle driving to the next town for a long appointment, then home, in 100°f, which is the previous day, cooling only to the low 90s.
And the house cleaners have been having scheduling problems, so if they show up this week, they'll have to work around me, too hot for me to go out while they work. I don't like this so much, but oh well.
So after all that I finally started reading and doing some being. Well, some pinloom weaving and reading.
I don't think I'm temperamentally suited to just being. I made a carafe of suntea to keep me going anyway!
Happy day, everyone! Try a bit of just being and see if you can manage it, then explain to me how.
