Wednesday

Yah! I did manage to get out for a walk today. I didn't go at my usual time, as it was pouring down. I waited a bit, watched the radar and weather conditions and managed to get out for a bit of one between showers. It was quite peaceful. Lots of puddles. The water level is really high. It's high everywhere. We are under a flood watch - for low areas - due to so much rain!

I got a haircut, well just a trim and it's rather fluffy now due to the humidity. I'll probably have to straighten it. I don't do it often, but when it's like this it's just a mess. I stopped at all the places I need to stop at so tomorrow I won't have to go anywhere - might have to do the Post Office Friday or Saturday as I've sold a couple more things. 

It's supposed to rain AGAIN all day tomorrow so it will be another hit-or-miss for walking. Thankfully, Friday seems to be a dry day so if I can't go tomorrow, I'll leave more time on Friday to have a meander perhaps with my friend and then by myself. I have an Asylum Lake meeting tomorrow - second one in a month - but we ran out of time at the last meeting and still have things to discuss. It is taking up more time than I thought would be required. I do the social media too. I enjoy that part of it, but I'm not a fan of the interacting with other people. I am planning on continuing with the board meetings at least until husband retires, then I'll have a rethink. Unless, before that time, someone else comes along that wants to join the board (there is a limit to the amount of people on the board). There's been quite a bit of turnover even in the two and a half years I've been on the board, and I know there are older members who are looking to 'retire' when others can be recruited. 

Plans tomorrow - I do have to do the decluttering. I keep saying that. I'm just struggling with tiredness right now. It seems that, in this menopause journey, there are nights when I can't sleep at all, nights where I really want to sleep but keep waking up and times when all I want to do is sleep! I'm in a cycle of the last two at this time. I really feel like I could sleep a long time in the afternoon and then stay up half the night! Unfortunately, it's not an option as the other members of the household have to sleep 'normal' hours. I don't want to disturb their sleep. 

Is it Saturday or Sunday?

I'm losing track of days. I know it has to do with both older son and husband being home. It didn't help that husband and I went out today instead of tomorrow - a Saturday Adventure instead of a Sunday Adventure. It's going to rain all day tomorrow. I keep hoping the weather forecast will change but no luck so far. As it was, it was dull and grey today - what a surprise it's Winter in Michigan. We went out for a drive, stopped at a couple of beaches along the lakeshore that we wandered along the beach and I took photos. It wasn't too bad. It was actually quite mild for December. 

The above is not a real lighthouse. It's apparently a replica of a lighthouse that used to be here.  

These were the only two phone photos that I took. I did take more with my camera, mostly of sand patterns and things I saw on the beach. As usual, I'm behind on sorting them. 

I must admit that I felt in a bit of a funk today. I think it's the menopause thing again. Moods lately seem a bit up and down. Ugh. Not good. I feel like bursting into tears for really no reason at all. I think sometimes daughter senses these things as she always seems to call when I'm feeling a bit down. Daughter and Baby A video called. It cheered me up no end. She's so funny! She laughed and smiled and pointed at things. Poor daughter was still coughing her heart out. She's been sick for a while now. She's on her second course of anti-biotics so I hope she feels better soon!

I did get Baby A's birthday gifts wrapped today and all of the other gifts (Christmas and things) set in one spot ready to go next week. I also started sorting through the (newly added) pile of magazines by chair. So far four have been read and recycled, two have been added to a pile that husband will take out to his friend's wife. 

Tomorrow (as it's a rainy day) will be an inside day. I have made a mini list of things I want to get done, but I also just plan on relaxing. 

Do you have plans for Sunday?
