Six of one....

My grandma used to say, "He doesn't know whether to shit or go blind." when she was referring to someone suffering from indecision.

I always pictured a man, standing in a dim room, arms bent at the elbows as if he were weighing something in each hand, and saying to himself as he raised one, then the other, "Shit? Go blind. Shit? Go blind." My little memory camera always turned off before he had decided.

This has been (for me) a busy weekend. I was sick all last week, and although I'm feeling worlds better, I am still very run down and trying to get past that. I'd say catch up on my rest, but for someone who spent most of the past seven days either waking up from a nap or eagerly planning my next, that wouldn't make sense, would it? Yesterday we laid in bed until 10 talking. It's always nice to catch up with each other on those mornings. I did our taxes and got them e-filed. Helped my son with his. And how weird is that? Having a kid who has to file a tax return. Where the hell did the time go? I did a little straightening here and there, ran a load of laundry, did the banking/grocery shopping.

This morning, I got up at the buttcrack of dawn to go to Costco. I like saving money by going there, but I totally hate most of the other people who are there for the same purpose. It's like they all forget manners and the rules of the road the moment they step into the store. I like to avoid as much of that as I can by getting there early. The kids and I (hubby had a blazing headache) left the house at 9:55 and were home by 10:55. That worked really well. I spent a few minutes patting myself on the back for it, then I put a chicken in the oven and started sorting books etc to take to Goodwill. Loaded up the back of the rig with stuff and headed back out.
My son went with me to help unload, then to the local Emporium Galorium (Lowe's) and we purchased a bit of this and that. My troop will be doing some primer painting on their birdhouses tomorrow, and I needed some supplies. Got home and massaged aching shoulders of poor headache man, ate my chicken with some rice, read part of the book currently in progress and fed the dog.

I haven't created anything lately. I like to goof around with yarn, take photos, make little crafts, paint little plaster things, scrapbook.. you get the idea. Projects I can complete in one or two sittings. I was going to get out some of the most recent pictures I have and make some sort of collage with them, but I got sleepy.

I stood next to the bed with my arms bent at the elbows, weighing these two things. Sleep or create? Sleep or create? Sleep or create?

Just got up from my nap. I got warm all through, totally relaxed and didn't create a damn thing.

Now, I'm going to go make strawberry shortcake.

For those of you who were thinking I lead an exciting life, this post ought to tell you otherwise.
