Joys

This week came with May retreating and June arriving. Where has this year gone? I don't even begin to know.  Time just slips by whether we want it to or not.

Monday: I usually have Monday as my "get ready for the week" day, but it was Memorial Day so the day was a little different. TheHub went into the office for a couple of hours because it is easier for him to work when no one else is around (Sounds like someone is is retiring in a couple of weeks doesn't it).  He stopped on his way home and picked up a surprise rack of ribs to add to our Memorial Day meal. 

Right as we finished eating, Son2 and DIL2 called and said they were on their way over. I always love seeing them. They visited for a bit then left and we decided in honor of the day we would watch a WW2 movie, so we did. 

What a joy it is to have streaming options now so we don't have to pre-plan and run by a video rental place. (Yes I am showing my age. I remember when we had to either go to Blockbuster or order a Netflix mail rental)

Tuesday: I know I did a bit of housework and reading, then had a phone call with Sluggy. I always laugh when I talk with her. 

TheHub came home a little earlier than normal so we could get to The Electric in time to score a table before trivia started. It was a fun night.

Wednesday: Nothing much happened other than normal "stay at home and do too few things around the house when I should have been cleaning" type of day. I know I have mentioned before how much I hate housework, but I can't emphasize it enough. I am pretty sure cleaning the house is what Dante really meant when he was writing about the 2nd level of Hell.

Anyway, instead of cleaning I did what any normal sane person would do and read.

I think I also talked with Sluggy, but I honestly don't remember if it was Wednesday or Thursday. Whichever day it was it was a huge joy.

Thursday: I either talked with Sluggy this day, or I didn't. Other than that I did actually clean a little, organized and inventoried the pantry, laughed with My Beloved Sister and watched the Alabama softball game. They had a rain delay so it started a little later than expected. I could have done some major cleaning during the delay, but I didn't.  Sometimes there is a joy just being and not doing.

Friday: I woke, threw on some CRC's  and got ready for lunch with 4 friends. None of them had ever been to The Electric before and it is a wonderful place to have  a group lunch. The food is good, it is uncrowded during the day, and it's an easy place to stay and talk. We were there eating and talking for 2 1/2 hours and it was truly a great afternoon. 

The Hub came home a little earlier than normal, so we ran a couple of errands, stopping to grab a to-go dinner before coming home to watch Alabama play softball. 

Saturday: TheHub went to the office again and I could have done all kinds of things, but I decided I had rather read, so I did. 

He had planned on being home about lunchtime, but was not. He was so much later than planned and we had a lunch/dinner combo then watched the Florida/Texas softball game to see who Alabama would be playing Sunday.  Once the game was over we watched a documentary about JFK and The Cold War. Interesting!

Sunday: TheHub worked in the office again until about 2, which was game time. We had a quick lunch then settled in the den to watch the softball game. (I was not at all hopeful that Bama could win, because Florida is a fabulous team) They did not win, but it was a good game. No one expected them to get to the World Series after the season they had, so it was a win simply getting there.

And because we watched a documentary Saturday night, we had to do it again Sunday. Don't ask me why; we just had to.

Have a great week and look for your joys. They are always out there even if they are small joys.

May all your weeds be wildflowers.
