The Journey

Fresh out of a deep sleep, eyes opening slowly and a bit blurry, the day begins. Another journey in a long line of journeys begins.

Coffee, more coffee, shower, make the bed, straighten up the house on the way to the coffee maker for third coffee and fresh air on the deck and the journey continues.

The pool needs attention. Skim it, check the chemical balance, check the filter basket, backwash, add chlorine and smile as feet touch the water in the top step.

Flower beds need weeding and watering. Potted plants need dead-heading and watering.

Check Facebook and blog comments and emails. Hang out on FB a little too long.

Lunch of cottage cheese and fruit of some sort, berries today.

Paint the planter that hasn’t been painted in a couple of years.

Clean up that mess.

Replace the latches on the back gate. Drill, screws, new latches fairly quick job. Put stuff away and get inside to clean and plan dinner.

Vacuum, dust and file some papers.

Watch General Hospital with a nice tall cold water.

Take a quick dip in the pool with Jake. A dog needs his exercise.

Prepare dinner and take care of last nights dishes.

When Roomy gets home have dinner and clean up the kitchen.

Settle in for an evening of FB and TV.

Bedtime is 2 or 3. Beauty sleep is needed.

This is the journey of one of my days.

And some are even a bit more exciting.
