Steady on
The rain falls steady outside and I am restless. I confess to being a poor relaxer. I like doing nothing with the best of them but I'm more of a putterer. I'll jot some notes down in my leisure, keep a few odd jobs moving along, organize something, shine some shoes, but I'm a lousy sitter.
The long weekend is nearly over. Though it is nearly 10:00 a.m. most of the house's occupants remain asleep. That rules out any of the louder chores. Maddie heads back to college later today. John starts his Christmas break job tomorrow. Back to school for the other kids tomorrow.
Maybe that is it - this seems to be one of those in-between times when the world is pregnant with purpose but not quite ready for delivery. The holiday is behind us and the next one ahead with lots to do in between. I just need to shift gears. Off to find a quiet chore.
