Rest and Reflection

 Kevin and I are in the middle of six days off. We worked long days locally Monday through Wednesday last week, and have been off since Thursday. We don’t have to work again until Wednesday. 

The last time we had six days off in a row, we had a hard freeze, and it snowed. It’s freezing this weekend, too, but it’s not snowing. On days like this, I can’t believe I ever entertained the idea of moving back to Chicago. Never would have survived! 

I didn’t do anything productive today except for grocery shopping. I’m on a specific diet/eating plan (more on that later, maybe). I got a tax refund of over $500 that posted today, so I went to both H-E-B and Walmart and bought all kinds of stuff on the green light list for this diet. 

I’m also suffering from writer’s block, even though I know how to combat it. I usually combat writer’s block by making lists. List things that happen in this scene, list things that happen in that scene, etc. I even bought my favorite Astrobright colored paper for the lists at Walmart  

But I can’t bring myself to do it in this weather!  I am not creative enough to do any sewing or crafts, either. My sewing machine had been sitting there with a broken needle for almost a month. I changed the needle today with a package of needles I got also at Walmart. But that’s about all I can do in that department!  No muses today!  No creativity whatsoever. 

Kevin and I just watched movies all day. We mostly watched Pink Panther movies. I forgot how funny those were. I had a toy of the pink panther when I was little- that was all I had remembered. I fell asleep in the middle of the first one. Woke up to pee and kevin was already mostly through the next one.
