Book reading now a bit overly apocalyptic (though very entertaining), so need to do boring housewifely sorts of things---like turn off brain and putter. Seems to be happening more and more often---my need to turn off the world and relax. So easy for me to go into overdrive, being over-busy and doing too much.
Will go to the grocery store later on, maybe think about making a cake (always a good idea), and with my mom doing her own grocery shopping today for the first time since January, a bit of pressure is off. We talked on the phone this morning (it was her idea to go by herself), and I could tell she sounded a bit antsy about it. But still, she's got to do things, and I told her to holler if she gets stuck. We're nearby, so that's no big deal.
So, off to do what I do (whatever that is), and attempt to have a spring in my step at the same time. Don't want to read the news, of catastrophes or anything that pulls me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes we need to be an ostrich, don't you think?
Oh, and about that swarm of bees we had outside the window yesterday---they decided to cozy up inside our fan sprinkler, on the ground by the outside faucet. Hmmm. Not ideal, but I'm not a bee, so really can't comment. Interesting, but a bit odd.
Enjoy your day. :)
