That was A Day. Mostly it was good, although one woman came who I honestly wouldn't have invited and I hope I never have to see her again. My sister loved her, but I do not. But everyone else was lovely to see, and lovely to see them find mementos, often gifts they had given my sister. And look through old photos, which are still kind of hard for me actually. All in all, an exercise in letting go.
There is still too much left that I will need to box up.
One unexpected and sweet moment: my brother gave me a gold/zirconia ring (I assume its zirconia and not diamond) that he found one day on the street. He gave it to me because he realized it would fit perfectly, and it does. Said it was for being a good sister and taking care of the estate. Made me a little teary.
That is sweet, Burrell. I'm glad the day was mostly good.
Well, I accomplished very little today, but I pretty much did what I had planned, so I'll call that a win.
Tomorrow I will be more ambitious.
Ambitious is over rated, especially on a Sunday.
More ambitious than today is still a low bar, believe me.
The fact that you are acknowledging that you will be ambitious, is perhaps, more ambitious than I already plan on being.
MOre ambitious than me anyway. My big accomplishment this week was being able to sleep in a bed instead of a chair last night.
I went for a run with my niece. And I didn't fall over, and it wasn't horribly painful, although it was short. So I guess I'm on the way back. But I'm still dizzy often: no bicycling for me until I can safely look around at the traffic.
And I did two loads of laundry, and picked up around the house, and vacuumed, and groomed the dog. And then we took my dad out for dinner at a nice new restaurant (which I hadn't realized it was that expensive, my plan was just for burgers and beer).
Not a bad day--especially with some really good soccer to watch.
Worked hard enough yesterday to leave me a bit sore this morning. Including moving bookcases.
My sister: Gosh, why are books so darn heavy?
Me: They're TREES.
My exciting agenda for today is cleaning a bathroom and folding an excess of laundry. And probably a nap.
Sounds like people are having productive weekends, by and large. I saw Chef yesterday and plan to do laundry today. That's probably gonna be it on the productivity side for me.
