G'day, everybody.
Wiped/Sharon, maybe you need to get some extra sleep INSTEAD of the gym once in a while?
LDM/Sharon, sounds like you have a busy day ahead. I hope you have a good book at the ready for when you've done it all.
Linda, sometimes you need to walk away from your art so when you get back to it you have fresh eyes. It's like doing a jigsaw puzzle - you can be staring at it for hours and be stuck, but as soon as you come back after a break, you can see several pieces and where to put them. Good luck with the physical therapy, I hope it's not too tiring.
Pamela, I hope you can get a handle on difficult child's odd behaviour soon.
Beth, what colour are you painting the bathroom? It's good to be doing something together with husband.
It's been an interesting evening here, refereeing between husband & easy child 2/difficult child 2. She gets really worked up and easily upset especially in the evenings and expects everyone to make allowances. But husband is also tired and takes even longer to say what he needs to say. between him trying to sort things out and her getting impatient with him and cutting him off, then getting upset when he kept talking (and in her mind, 'interrupting' her) I just wanted to bang their heads together. Not that it would do any good.
difficult child 3 & I got to the beach a little earlier today, difficult child 3 has a trace of sunburn. I'm hoping he will brown up by tomorrow so I can go back to the beach. He is benefitting from the exercise and the time out in the sun.
My friend who works during the week usually is ready on the weekend for a swim together and a chat while lying on the beach - maybe if she's home tomorrow we can relax together. Beach is good therapy. Maybe I can throw a few sand balls or something. Or I could do some weeding. Killing some nuisance plants is also good therapy.
The weather is getting hotter, but still pleasant. Water incredibly warm but the recent turbulence has churned up some seaweed, so the water isn't as crystal clear as it has been. Very choppy.
I've got a few jobs to do in the morning, at the local shops. Then some sewing - making difficult child 3 some new beach pants, finishing off my skirt. If it's too hot I'll have to leave it, my sewing machine is in a room which heats up a lot on hot days. But there's always plenty to do.
Enjoy your Friday.
