By the time I get home I have 4 hours before I go to bed (remember I need as much sleep as possible due to sleep apnoea). You would think that 4 hours would be sufficient to get things done. Nope!
- I am not a gardener so the garden is lucky that the retic is working otherwise the lawn would be dead! The plants are going ok (just). I water them every two nights and when they look like they need it (not that I would know - I dehydrate cactus').
- Give Rambo a tablet and then get the dogs dinners (thank God I don't cook them).
- Get my own dinner, normally spend a good 15 minutes staring into the cupboard or fridge wondering what I feel like and what can be made in small portions. The same thing every night gets boring.
- Catch up on emails why my dinner settles before organising myself for some exercise.
- Have a shower.
- Let the dogs out for a wee time :) and then organise myself for work the next day. Depending on how much there is I may even do the dishes.
- Let the dogs in and give Rambo 2 more tablets - it was easier when it was just one a day but now he has 4 a day and he is starting to get really snarly. I have taken to wrapping it in peanut butter. That worked for the first 3 days now I have to shove it down his throat as well!
- Somewhere in there I have been shopping twice for supplies and started a bad head cold.
WHERE IS MY DOWNTIME?!
WHERE IS MY CRAFT TIME?!
THANK GOD I JUST HAVE ANIMALS AND NOT KIDS!

I was just the opposite. Had a week where I left all that behind and it was bliss. No cooking (ate takeaway) no washing clothes,no cleaning and I had hours of me time. I'm telling you, it's the life.
Even with Jeff cooking each night I work I still miss my downtime and my craft time.
I guess since I work fulltime I shouldn't expect too much of it...
I guess that since I am ole I just enjoy the extra to do. I wish though that I could have a paying job, one that brought in those $$$ instead of just bills and no bucks, I am thankful to just be able to still do my own work.
I do have someone 1 day a week, since the broken shoulder, but she is new to the work and is a willing learner of the job.
She is slim that one becomes envious :) of the need to fatten her up, and de-fatten me down. She said that she will be my cheering section as I lose weight.
It is a week until payday, so am not buying a thing as the bank would frown on an overdraft (they charge more in fines than the check would be).
I just praise the Lord that I am still alive and according to the doctor's report, still able to kick up my heels a wee:) bit.
Have a great one and God bless. Love yah and Mum.
Yeah, thank goodness I don't have kids. I'd have no time whatsoever! I'm lucky if I get an hour of something fun in every evening!
