well today can only get better. i went to sleep with my glasses on and didnt even notice. i spent a good hour looking for them everywhere. in the bathroom , by my chair, my bedside table , kitchen...i found them in the blankets...geez i feel so old now.
i went to home depot on wed looking for some small wood so i could make my spice rack. well the wood i was looking for is not for sale as it is scrap wood. so i dug through the bin and hopefully found enough to make it. i bought a saw to trim the plum trees . there are alot of small branches near the bottom of the tree that can be cut off. i also bought a small amount of paint for the spice rack. i need to start sanding the wood. its not very smooth at all. in the scrap wood bin i also found some wooden bannister pieces. they are perfect for a grab bar in the bathroom and a small railing on the stairs...so now i need to get the brackets to put them on the walls. i should clear coat the pieces first so i can wipe them down when needed. but that will be more of a winter project when my son is back in town.
this week has seemed so long. maybe because i am spending so much time alone. someone i as chatting with on a dating site is not messaging anymore. so i guess he has found someone else to chat with. just as well. no point in wasting anymore time on someone who is not interested in me. i have to be ok with being alone.
my creativity is finally starting to come back. i made a trading card this week. it turned out really well. i am working on a halloween card now. see what happens.....
i spend another weekend alone. everyone else is busy. my son who i lent some money too is too busy to pay me back. i wont be doing that again. i spend 2 days off work with no one to talk to and no where to go. so i just spend time trying to tidy up here. it does not feel like i am making much progress but i have filled one bag for donation.
i miss the everyday things brent and i would do. yesterday i did some shopping and he would have brought it in for me. now i have to wait until my son can bring in the feed for me, or try and do it myself. i miss the hot summer days of going for a picnic. i miss having to wash the blanket on his chair because he spilled something on it. i miss having him cook once in a while. i miss his voice, his laugh, his hugs, most of all i miss him....
