It's a good thing for Sunday for without direction, I'm a wandering child.
Monday I actually felt like creating something and made a pair of earrings for M--her birthday. I couldn't remember how to make the feather earrings I wanted to make, though I tried four times, I just couldn't do it. Creativity?--on hold. I got ready to pick up M, went to lunch, shopped where she wanted and it turned out to be kind of fun, actually made supper and watched tv with Bill.
Tuesday, tried again with the earrings, no luck. Made soup for D--brain surgery two weeks ago. Took it to her, stayed a while, she's doing well, went home and found my tv, pleasantly zoned--tried to make myself feel justified, took auction stuff to auctioneers, soup supper and tv with Bill.
Wed. turned out to be the epiphany day. I figured out how to make the earrings, made seven pair and two pair of fingerless gloves, took five pair of earrings and the gloves to S'More Couture, picked up my long-lost dress form and was commissioned to do about 10-12 flowers for A's client. I went to GFS for food for church that night, prepared meal with MD, rehearsed at 6 and 7, tv with Bill.
Thurs. Not too disiplined today, feel tired, dusted LR furniture, cleaned bathroom, cleaned microwave, swept floors, updated blog, made myself a pair of earrings. Now I want to eat lunch and finish a long-pending quilt for one of my grandchildren. Maybe I'll feel I've accomplished something. I'm keeping on keeping on.
Sally, you are doing very well. It is not an overnight recovery from a loss and trauma like this, it takes a long time to be processed and lived with. Give yourself time, don't be upset if you just want to veg out for a while. This is normal. Just thank God that you have the support that you do from your family and friends!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see you in choir last night, but I was pretty pooped when practice was over. Still in recovery.
