Bored?
A quiet and pleasant Sunday at home, except for church, of course. Richard didn't have to go in until afternoon so was able to come to church, too. The major downside of his job is that he usually has to work Sunday mornings and he cannot just take off any time he wants. It felt good to have him there beside me in church again.
I strayed from my diet the last two days. I'm blaming it on my brother's excellent beans. Today, I am behaving myself again. I am certainly getting plenty to eat under the NutriSystem plan and I am not hungry. The issue isn't so much hunger, but appetite. I also realize that a lot of times I want to eat out of boredom, although I really don't ever recall being bored in the traditional sense.
Even as a child, I was not bored. I made up stories in my head, I made up games and puzzles, I enjoyed watching people, animals, everything around. I thought about God, but in unconventional ways. I still do.
I enjoyed life. I still do.
I don't think I could ever be truly bored. Just being alive is too interesting. I love the adventure of it... there is drama and humor in each day. For example, the other day I was dusting and lost my feather duster. Poof! Gone. We have all looked for it in every place we can think of including the freezer -- where by the way I once found my undergarments -- but no feathered duster can we spy. We looked in the shed, even the car and pickup. Nothing. Don't you just love a mystery?
Tomorrow, I'll buy another feather duster, and one day in the future the old one will reappear as if by magic, and it will be fun to learn where it has hidden itself all this time.
In an earlier post I had said I would be filling some of my missing entries, reconstructing from memory, notes and my planner. Since my blog/journal is posted in several places and not all of them have easy links to older entries, I will only be posting missing days on my own site, http://ionanet.com/blog/ionasblog.htm and on my LiveJournal site, http://ionaruth.livejournal.com/ You'll need to look in the February and Match, 2007 archives.
I almost forgot to share that I had a great thrill yesterday evening when Richard brought in the mail. I never remember to get the mail, so I don't see it until he gets home. Anyway.... We had four letters from grandkids! FOUR!!!!!!!!! That is more than wonderful. I have trouble understanding folks on the phone and when they try to help by talking louder, it is only worse. So letters are the greatest, plus you can keep them and read them over and over.
Okay, so now I am off to work on those missing entries.
