A lazy Wednesday morning

I had such good intentions for today. It is just after 11am and i have had a walk already. It rained a bit while i was out but it did not matter to me in the least, it just felt good to get out. When i get back, i thought, i'll do laundry. Well when i did get back and i checked the laundry room, all four of the washers were already going, some had loads on top, ready to go in next and all four dryers were happily tumbling away. Not a good time to do laundry, it can wait till tomorrow, i think.

When i got back to the apartment, i opened the door and there was mother, doing dishes. Nice, i thought. I think it's good for her to be up out of bed, puttering, doing small jobs like that. She was not amused. I had taken longer than i said i would be, ooops. I tried to explain to her that i felt good getting out for a walk and so i walked farther than i had anticipated, it was not planned (she always thinks everyone conspires against her) and so after i explained that, she calmed down.

Since she hadn't eaten yet (she didn't want anything before i left) i offered to make her something to eat. She didn't want much, only a sandwich and a glass of milk. I finished that and served it to her, by then she had returned to the bedroom and the comfort of bed. Since i wasnt going to be doing laundry, i put all the laundry i had sorted before my walk, back into the basket ...it will keep until tomorrow.

Right now my stomach is feeling a bit queasy... and i have a headache. My mother and sister both were not feeling well, with the same symptoms on the weekend, so i'm wondering if i have what they have, otherwise i feel fine.

I've had a couple of calls from friends this morning, one from my friend Dave in British Columbia, he called before he left for work, just to see how i was and how things were. I told him all was fine...it was good to hear from him. Also had a call from my friend Ash from the UK. He was calling from work...apparently he can slip in calls to Canada...i hope he doesn't get into trouble but he assures me they do call Canada there too...so it's fine. It was good to hear from him too, he told me how he'd planted plants in his front garden the night before and how his dog chased after a cat...odd because his dog is normally afraid of cats. Tonight he is planning on visiting his allotment, to check for weeds. Nice chats with both, buoyed my spirits.

Well i am just sitting here...no one is online so i think i'll go wash my hair and then run the vacuum and tidy up a bit.

Will be back later
