Happily Busy the Past Few Days

How is it we can be so busy at times, and yet hardly able to pinpoint what it was we were busy “at”?

Saturday I did have a short visit with a dear friend who used to live in the same senior mobile home park. But that wasn’t even half a day.

Sunday I met a gal I have ‘known” from the internet ever since 1987. We spent a few hours just chatting. Again, not even half a day.

Monday, I began helping a friend by feeding 3 big ol’ fur babies in the mornings for a few days. But even with me sitting with them while they ate, and for a while afterwards, that’s not half a day.

After that first session, I stopped in the 99-cent Only store for produce. I always, always rinse what I bring in like that. With my water rationing issues, I had to coordinate my water usage. So I did them all one after the other - a bag of apples, a bag of pears, a head of cauliflower (which I immediately cut into florets and steamed, and into the fridge for salads), a really big cucumber, rinsed and also trimmed a pound of strawberries, and half a dozen tomatoes. That took a while, and I had to wash/rinse the colander, etc., right afterwards.

Today, after feeding the pooches, I ran into Smiths to fill my 3-gallon jug of water and to pick up some Smiths freebies.

In the midst of these little activities, I managed to work on a charity baby blanket and a scarf for the homeless.

But other than that, I did not de-clutter, clean or do other things I really want to dive into.

I suppose that as long as I still have the desire to do those other things, at least I’m still on track. 

But I’m not sure where the track is leading...
