Everyone is back at school again today, although it is early release day. I, as always, should be productive, and yet here, again, I sit on the computer. It is called denial...and I am currently okay with it.
Our washing machine has stopped working. This in itself is a pain, but the stoppage occurred with a leak...or more like a gushing as the entire drum of water ended up all over our laundry room floor. Not good! The service man is coming out on Friday. We should be able to hold out on laundry until then, and if for some reason we can not, the students are leaving town this week so the laundry mat should be less crowded. There is also my aunt's house if I get really desperate.
I currently have the TV on the other room...to some children's cartoon that Thomas was watching before we caught the bus (and man is it COLD out there!). Normally I prefer silence, but today I find goofy little voices to be comforting. Ever since my dad died, my mother has had the TV on and her days seem to consist of NCIS marathons. She isn't watching them, but she enjoys the noise in the house. It was also my dad's favorite show, and I think it's what she's used to hearing during the days.
Two weeks from today is Christmas. For the most part, I am ready, but I have just a few more gifts that need to be purchased. I had thought about venturing out today, but clearly it is going to be an on-line day if anything at all. And tomorrow will be colder so I definitely won't be going out tomorrow. It will all work out...I refuse to allow myself to worry about it.
I am so grateful that Andrew's commute is now only ten minutes. It is one less thing for me to worry about, and these days I just seem full in the worry and stress department
