Interesting Friday and Saturday


I did have a thought yesterday as to how my life looks from the outside, but here is how I moved through the last couple of days.

Friday: regular work, swing by VSW, swing by the parents, swing back by regular work to help a client, then walk to 3 p.m. adult swim, then walk home the long way, then home to do wash, clean apt, watch news shows, then read my latest Kellerman.

Saturday: A bit of VSW work, iron clothes, then to the beach, then to Lobster Landing for a lobster roll, then church, then to 5 p.m. adult swim (wash off the salt which was becoming a bit uncomfortable as I sat in my street clothes at church), then home (no walk), then watch TMZ, read.

Sunday a.m.: Coffee in bed, finished my latest Kellerman (I am running the risk of running out of reading this weekend...).

My next goal is to get a walk in before it starts to rain, then I might swing by regular work to do what I was thinking of doing tomorrow since no rain predicted for tomorrow. I do need to swing by the grocery store. Will leave most of shopping to end of week to take advantage of some sale items I need that do not kick in until Wednesday.

Got the call that father's slice and dice surgery is scheduled for a "be there by 6 a.m" schedule. Guess that is better to get going and get it over with since I am transport. Let's hope that will be the deal and I will be able to meet up with friends heading back to Texas. Another group coming through on Wednesday. A week from today is another family get together for niece's graduation party.

What made me wonder about how other view my travels through life. Very solitary. Moving from place to place where there are lots of people but no interaction. But also about how I "naturally" hit target times to make me able to get to where I want to be. I do think about what it would be like to have the opportunity to allow others in - don't know if that will ever be an opportunity in real life, but it would be interesting.

Also had thoughts yesterday about not being there for my son's first real run in with medical care since the weekend after he was born. Maybe he "remembers" how I acted in that setting when his health was in jeopardy and decided not re-live that. I hope he is OK and recuperating comfortably or at least with success. He has a big mission this summer personally and professionally and from the NY Times July 1 - he is going to be in the right place at the right time! But sometimes I wish I could be a better mother - but I don't even know what that looks like, so I just wait for him to reach out to me as needed.

Have a good balance of the weekend.

You have been a good mother! Your son is independent, takes care of himself, doing what he wants and I suppose that makes him happy. What more could you want? Just stopped by to see how you are doing. Continue enjoying your life!
