Good Morning!
Didn't go to bed until after
mid-night last night.
Had a relaxing time hanging
out with granddaughter in the cozy Christmas festive living room. She was doing art work. I was playing mahjong on my small Samsung tablet. Playing that game is totally relaxing as I
diligently work to best my best score, while thinking deeply about self,
family, church, and local and world conditions.
I have a new
NOOK tablet my daughter gave me for my birthday – the 10.1, BIG one that is almost like a laptop;
love it. The mahjong screen is
huge! I haven’t let myself adjust to
that. New NOOK is fantastic for reading
downloaded books – so many more features I didn’t have on the old Nook.
Anyway, granddaughter and I
were also watching/listening to TV. We
looked at cable shows; the one about families living 'off-the-grid'. Fascinating stuff. Fathers and mothers with young children, up to and including teenagers move from their ‘civilized’ communities to rough it, live off the land. I also tuned to the latest production of
“Little People”; then “Bad Girls Club” (this grandmother thinks horrible TV for
developing minds, i.e., children, pre-teens, and even younger adults – scary
information). Granddaughter, now a young
adult, was thrilled I turned to "Bad Girls Club", said it was one of her favorites. I was proud of me for hanging with it (and I
learned, a lot)!
Mine had been a busy day –
started just after 5 am. I didn’t
stop getting done what I had to do until I was back home from running errands
just before 4 pm. After fixing
something to eat, pleased to have passed up the fast-food places, I went to
my room planning not to show myself ‘til morning light the next day. I was exhausted!
However, I ventured down
stairs about 9 pm to find our home empty (except for the 4 legged boyz, Buddha,
the Rottweiler and Marble, the Pit bull).
Couldn’t resist sending a “Hi” text to all 3 humans (didn't ask, just wondered where were they?) ....
only granddaughter and daughter answered...then hour or so later realized
grandson (home from WVU for the holidays) was actually HOME – bundled under his
quilts soundly sleeping.
Shortly, granddaughter
returned and, well we hung out until I heard, "wake-up", you're snoring. “Ha ha”, me laughing while I argue, “I was not”. She made me go up to bed..."get your
rest". I told her I was waiting for a call from my cousin who was running
around taking care of last minute must-do tasks – needed to know she was safely
home. She’s a grandmother too! Went to bed though.
It’s not like me, but
yesterday I was so busy, I didn’t take my pills (don’t forget I’m a
grandmother). It won’t happen a 2nd
day! I’ll close, take meds now, then
post this, a morning-before-Christmas Day musing.
Merry
Christmas
